I don't pay for BTN+ so I am not watching, but 7 turnovers in the first quarter? What's behind that? South Alabama is credited with two steals. The other five?

26-22 RU at half. Some of the new gals do not look to be in great physical shape, lots of huffing, and puffing going on.

Looks like it is going to be a loooong year. I don’t see much BB IQ which is very disappointing. Scoring points is going to be a challenge. Hopefully it is just taking time for this team to gel. Let’s pull out a win and move forward.

Second period three turnovers, that is an acceptable pace. Guihon 4 for 4 from floor but only 1 for 4 from the line, leading the team with 9 pts.

I expect to win tonight and we are probably trying to find the right rotation with so many new faces. We need to figure it out before the tougher foes show up. Lots of foul trouble for South Alabama that half (one player with 3, two with 2).

B1G play will be beyond depressing if something doesn't change.

Couldn't even enjoy the superstars being interviewed sound quality was so off. To whomever in the crowd that spit out the four letter words, shame on you.

RU seems to be getting this game in hand, but against opponents like this it needs to happen from the start.

RU 64-45 final. Nice finish with some promising plays. Victoria Morris showed some great speed.

19 point win and a 18 edge on the boards.
But the 19 turnovers puts a damper on that
RU came to play the 3rd quarter and kept the lead the rest of game

Still have some things to work out but the effort was there all game. As they play more together, the turnovers should decrease.

Team is showing some nice flashes. When they put it all together, we'll be just fine.

Liked the team spirit towards the end of the game. The women really seemed to enjoy playing with each other. Need to press the whole game. With all of these players should be able to wear the other team down. 55 still needs work.

The last portion of the game went a long way to easing some of the doubt brought on by the team's sloppy play prior to that point. As many have noted, the team was having fun at the end. It was good to see the smiles.

In just two games, we are seeing a lot of positives of what the transfers bring to the table. Osh was big in Game 1, while this time, it was nice to see Lasha in the mix having a huge impact as well as Morris.

We still commit too many turnovers with shaky passes and weak attempts to meet the ball. Offense is too robotic without reacting to how the defense is playing them. My new worry is that we're falling back into the old CVS offense when they would over pass til the shot clock is at 2 and throw up a shot or turn it over before getting a shot. When we got away from that in these more recent years , we started producing some high scoring games that opened everyone's eyes.

Our success of the Copper, Scaife-led teams, the CCryor, StasiaCarey-led team, and the Arella Guirantes-led teams came from them being able to score with the other good teams that could score. The defense is always a constant at RU.

Well, we have some shooters this year, so I'm all for taking good shots whenever they come available and knocking them down. When Dickson comes back, we'll have two bonafide scorers in her and Lasha, with Liz possibly as a third player who can put up a lot of points every game.

It's early, and they did progress somewhat over the course of the game, so I'll be patient and see how things develop over the next few games.
