GDT: WBB vs #6 USC

[Lord Elrond]

Game is delayed a little due to previous game running over. Game is also on MAX streaming.  Lots of hype for Juju Watkins, but is it hype if she can live up to it? They’ve barely mentioned SLU in this pregame show. Oh well, I expect the Billikens might face a hard game.

[Lord Elrond]

Peyton Kennedy in starting lineup! Starters, Anumele, Calhoun, Bergstrom, Kennedy, Simon.

[Lord Elrond]

Calhoun defensively on Watkins seems a mis-match, but what are the options here?

[Lord Elrond]

The Billikens got Juju to foul twice in the first 2 minutes, as good a strategy as anything

what's MAX streaming?

Used to be HBO, till they decided to change it to MAX. 

[Lord Elrond]

24-15 USC at the end of the 1st qtr. Billikens fighting, but 6 TO’s are killing them. Taller USC also out rebounding them 13-9. Juju with 13 pts so far. She did score 920 pts last year as a freshman…

[Lord Elrond]

Billikens pull off a 12-1 run in the 2nd to make it interesting 

[billiken_roy]

The game is on True station on direct tv

[Lord Elrond]

Billikens have pulled within 1 again, 1 min left in half

[Lord Elrond]

Billikens held USC without a field goal for over 6 minutes…

[billikenbill]

42-37 at the half. Calhoun with 3 fouls.

[Speyburn]

Bergstrom leads the Billikens with 11 pts.

[Lord Elrond]

42-37 USC at the half, Billikens giving USC all they can handle. Mia Bergstom leads with 11 pts (3-4 from 3 pt range), Brooklyn Gray 8 pts, Kennedy Calhoun 6 pts. Tierra Simon with 7 rebounds. 

[Lord Elrond]

Started the 2nd down by 12, Billikens pulled within 1 pt 3 times….

Being down by 5 at half against a #6 team is freakin' amazing. If we don't run out of gas, it could be interesting.

[billikenbill]

47-37 early 3rd. Calhoun needs to stop turning it over.

[billikenbill]

4 fouls on Kennedy. Looks like USC decided to stop messing around.

[billikenbill]

54-39. It’s a 16-2 run since 38-37. 

[Lord Elrond]

Peyton Kennedy not effective, still bothered by the injury it looks like. USC decided they needed to play

[Lord Elrond]

Kennedy Calhoun now with 5 TO’s. Press by USC getting to her. Her backup is Isabell Tillet though, who’s made 2 TO’s

[billikenbill]

Anything that can go wrong this quarter has. More turnovers and just brain-dead decision making.

[Lord Elrond]

I guess we poked the bear in the 2nd qtr, and the bear didn’t like it…

A Trojan bear, it seems.
