For me it was either SG/Grainger or Hampton/NG. Glad I picked the latter. Was curious to see how Hampton#10 would respond to NG being ranked ahead of them in the polls. With the Dogs body of work i was expecting them to be ranked higher. Thought they might feel like they were being disrespected and want to prove a point. But the way the 1st half looked I was a little shocked I expected a better effort. But thats the way Hampton has been playing lately digging a hole and then storming back with guts,heart and amazing effort. But as the season wears on that may take a toll the girls looked emotionally and physically exhausted after the win. Id heard talk before the game Dugger was sick and early on she couldn't find her usual good stroke. Morrow and mcnese didnt disappoint they came out clicking and the dogs put the Huskies in the bonus early. By my count NG had hit 5 3's 1 2 pt fg and 12 ts for their 29 1st hlf pts. Whatever Coach Tolley said at the hlf he should bottle it up and sell it. The Lady Dogs came out on fire torching the nets for 30 pts in the 3rd with the Bowers kid pushing the tempo i had her with 6 assists in the 3rd and Dugger heating up and the Olvera kid dropping a few 3 bombs of her own it was a thrill to watch. NG didnt go away and down 5 Mcnese was the beneficiary of a questionable box out call on her 3 pt shot and getting the +1 cut the lead to 1. Bowers was fouled with 4 seconds left and calmly stepped up and drained both for the final margin. Ive seen alot of games/teams this year and what these girls do night in and night out with less talent and subs is something these ladies and their fans should be proud of the heart they play with and never give up attitude is amazing. I applaud these young women and their coaches they represent this area well!
