Re: Women's Basketball: SDSU at Brown (R.I.)

This is almost a repeat performance of the first half of the mens game against Central Florida. If we take care of the ball, stop giving up layups, and force a few more turnovers we can get back into this game.

Brown 72, SDSU 64.  

Brown shot 72% in the first half....tough to beat.  SDSU closed to single digits in the last minutes of the game.
