CU at TAMU

[buffgal]

Don't see a thread for this yet. Got home late from work and missed nearly all the first half.

Score at halftime: TAMU 35, CU 24. CU attempted a record low 14 shots in the half. On the other hand, TAMU did not have a free throw attempt.

Colorado on a mini-run, now 36-43, TAMU up still. 14:04 left. TAMU "playing slower than I've ever seen them"

[buffgal]

Buffs shooting well, but many, many, many turnovers. TAMU shooting very poorly. Whitney and Candace in for CU to counter TAMU aggressiveness and quicks.

Run for TAMU 47-36 12:00 left.

[buffgal]

51-36 TAMU, 11:21 left. TAMU has shot the ball 36 more times, 21 turnovers for CU.

[buffgal]

Did I mention that CU is turning the ball over a lot? CU announcers make it sound as though the turnovers are unforced, but I suspect that most have a lot to do with tight, aggressive D by TAMU.

TAMU also beasts of the offensive boards.

[buffgal]

Franklin now with 4 fouls. 54-44 TAMU. 8:00 left.

Ilic shooting threes like she's unconscious.

Colorado trails in the turnover battle, 21-7. There is the game. Well, A&M is also getting boards. Very few fouls for an A&M game. Colorado only has 8.

As a secondary story line, this game features the battle of the Latvians, Limbaha for TAMU vs. Putnina for CU.

56-46 6:something left.

[buffgal]

5:37 left, TAMU 59, CU46. TAMU starting to heat up from beyond the arc.

[buffgal]

Rucker has a sprained ankle, will not return this game.

[buffgal]

64-47, under 4 minutes left. CU has lost heart in the face of 10-0 TAMU run.

[YCN]

Mind-boggling stat from the game: Field goal attempts: CU 34, TAMU 74. Yes, that second number appears to be correct. Wow.

[buffgal]

72-53, 2:00 left. CU trying the press, but beginning to foul more also.

[sybarite]

Gant has only played 12 minutes. Wonder why.

[buffgal]

Final score, 74-58 Texas A&M. Congrats to the Aggies - not their best effort, but more than good enough.

I hope Candace will be okay by Saturday. She's got such potential.
