GDT: SDSU Jackrabbits vs #20 Missouri State Lady Bears 1pm @ JQH Arena ESPN3

[OldHare]

This arena on John Q Hammons Parkway is up to 16 consecutive home wins for the Lady Bears. It would be a great day to get a road win in Springfield against a long team. There are 9 players in the rotation for MSU. They have beaten FGCU and Maryland(#11) in an early tourney in Florida. The lone loss was to Wake Forest in that tourney. They defeated Missouri in Columbia this week. The Lady Bears are taking care of rebounds this year. They are grabbing 47 to opponents 33. MSU turns the ball over about 17/game. Offensive rebounds are almost 16 to 8. Opponents are shooting 33% compared to MSU at 43%. The Jackrabbits will need to figure how to keep the shots falling and keep the Lady Bears off the O board. It could be another win against a ranked team today and break the ice on road wins. Go Jacks!!

Grear did not travel with the team today. Unsure if she is ill or injured. Irwin starts instead. Good start, up 11-7. Byom runs the floor so well and has already had some nice blocks.

[GoJacks2011]

Midway through the 2nd qtr - Jacks now up 22-14. 3’s not falling but finding ways to get it done down low. Nesheim with some great minutes off the bench. Encouraging to see.

[GoJacks2011]

Up 31-22 at the half. Selland and some key bench play carried us as Burckhard and Byom were out with foul trouble. Physical game. with rebounds and getting to the line being key.

Anytime Gartner is in the game Selland needs to take it to her! She isn't near quick enough to keep up with Myah.

[OldHare]

Nelson needs to get focused second half. She has not gotten any traction the first half. She needed that put back to go. 0-5 is not her normal. The Jackrabbit defense is doing a good job. They need to slow down the offensive boards for MSU. They gave up 10 in first half. Bears had 10 turnovers to match while Jackrabbits held to it to 6 TO.

[98Jackfarmer]

A great stat from the first half, Selland with 0 PF's.

[SturgisJeff]

MSU already has 10 offensive rebounds to Jacks three, defensive 14 all

Missouri State played physical but Jacks able to hang on. Big win. When was the last time we beat 3 top-25 teams in one season and won a regular season road game against one on their court?

Jacks with no field goals over the last 7 minutes. Made enough free throws and played enough defense to get a big win on the road.

It seems likely Greer will not be in Montana for the game. The Jackrabbits will be sporting some bruises from today's game. The Lady Bears were more bear than lady. It was the most physical game of the year. We had 7 players in double figure minutes. It was great to see 6 assists to go with the double double for Myah.

[JACKGUYII]

Great win on the road. We were really shaky with pressure at end of the game. Need to get these last two non-conference games!

[bigticket1]

Was Nesheim injured to start the season ? She played a total of 2 minutes in the first 5 games, and has played 12 and 25 in the last 2. And has played well. Add Byom and Vlastuin in and you have three freshmen making a difference.

Did Greer get doubled over with a hard punch to her mid section her last game, or was that someone else. Thought Tylee was going to get her arm ripped off in this one.....Jacks get some tough hombre's in this OOC so far. Thank goodness neither are hurt too bad I hope.
