35-28 Rhodey, SLU decided the way to deal with TO’s was force more, so even though they now have 12, they are winning the TO battle 13-12 by forcing 10 TO’s from URI in the quarter.  Peyton Kennedy now with 15 pts, she’s been hitting her shots, but Kyla McMakin is only 2-10, need her to hit her shots to have a chance. Keep up the defense and make shots.

Not a terrible deficit at the half. This is still a winnable game.

56-51 after 3, SLU increasing the lead in the TO battle, which they started out badly behind, 18-15. Peyton Kennedy on fire with 26 pts, and Julia Martinez made a highlight reel jump shot at the buzzer. They actually tied the game twice in the 3rd qtr. Need more scoring help for Peyton from somewhere else.

76-73 win by SLU! What a great turnaround by SLU!  They came out stone cold in the 1st and turned it over repeatedly, but pulled it out. They didn’t allow a URI FG in the last 4 1/2 minutes, and ended up forcing 25 TO’s while only ending up with 17.  Peyton Kennedy with 31 pts, Kyla McMakin 17, they shot 72.7% in the 4th quarter. Career game for Peyton Kennedy.

Settling into that middle of the pack conference position, dangerous come tournament time.

Just finished watching on delay.  What a thoroughly enjoyable game.   We don’t defend well but the last two possessions for Rhodey when they needed a 3 to tie, it was excellent.   Great job ladies!  

URI got a Field goal with 4:07 left. The Billikens kept them from scoring another field goal the rest of the game, URI only scored 2 free throws in that span.  Shut them down.

What I noticed watching the replay is Julia Martinez is clearly nowhere near 100%.  She is still working as hard as anyone but that leg injury is preventing her from flying around like she did last year.  It’s amazing the numbers she has put up this year since she has come back from the injury considering.   I’m thinking this is why she didn’t start yesterday???  She is already one of the greatest Billikens of all time; just a bummer she isn’t at her best right now.

Coach Tillet has been limiting her minutes, bringing her in after the first few minutes each half so she comes in fresh, stuff like that. I’m sure it’s because of her knee, and trying to keep her in when most effective.
