Halftime score

UW-Whitewater 35
Mary Washington 22

We sprung for the $8 to watch this thing on "Stretch Internet."

Unfortunately, no audio in any fashion to go along with video (technical issues...you'd think they'd tell you before you purchase).

Best observations I can make...

The UW-Whitewater players have long arms and that's caused disruption for Mary Washington in it's offense...having tough time both passing, shooting over the top of the defense. Whitewater has led whole way, and (I'm guessing here) I think the point guard (Hendrickson) is having a nice game. Little hard to tell though.

Final
UW-Whitewater 70
Mary Washington 67

A really INSANE ending to this game.

Mary Washington was way behind...as much as 20 down in 2nd half, and to be honest, it was dominance from UW-Whitewater

But then, about 730 left, things took a major change...

Mary Washington started hitting some shots (including a couple 3's), and UW-Whitewater got a little tight.

I wasn't totally keeping notes, but I believe there was stretch in last 90 seconds in which UW-Whitewater was 2-8 on FT and Mary Washington made a couple 3's in a row, including one to tie game with 23 seconds left. Lack of audio and blurry video when blown up to reasonable size made it hard to tell who hit it.

UW-Whitewater got ball to point guard, Hendrickson, I believe, and Mary Washington tried to trap, ended up fouling her as she ducked through it. She made 1 of 2 FT.

Mary Washington got a look at a winning shot, but missed...UW-Whitewater made 2 FT with less than second left to account for final score.

Hopefully both schools will provide a thorough recap. Crazy game.

All we had was the poor video as well, but...

Four Eagles fouled out during the run. Amazing job by the Eagles to come back from that big a deficit in that short a time.

Tracy 16, Clarkin 14 (several HUGE shots in the run), Kampman and Mitchell 12, Hickey 11. Eagles caused 26 turnovers and had 18 assists, but were outrebounded 39-29, but that may have been a result of Kampman and Hickey fouling out and being in foul trouble.
Guess the monkey of being #1 and undefeated is off the ladies' backs now. Time to start a new streak, hopefully this'll help our hunger to get back.

bbald - You keep this up, I'm putting you on the payroll!
Good stuff.

CNU's live stats are very cool, I'm talking to them to see how much and who they use. Of course, they have three SIDs, ha ha.

Marymount might just be a true barometer as to how The Eagles will fare in the CAC.
