Got the close game alert from my yahoo sports app and was hitting refresh every few seconds. Seemed like a very good game. Wish there was radio coverage of the team.

I watched the second half. Well played by the ladies. It wasn't just a 3 pointer though. it was a 3 from NBA range from the left wing and BANKED in high off the glass. Pure luck that it dropped. I feel bad for the ladies to lose like that.

Frustrating how many good power conference teams they take to the wire but end up falling to in the end. Duke, Tennessee and now USC all in the past 9 months. Add UNC to that from a couple seasons ago.

I watched the second half livestream, and the game environment was embarrassing. Essentially had an emcee working the game, and every time a UAlbany player stepped up to the FT line, they played Queen's "Pressure" over and over again. I mean, really? You're supposed to be a big-time school. If you want to generate an intimidating environment, get students, a band, etc at the game. Not some phony emcee.

Hopefully this is the year they break through in the NCAA Tournament. They are losing arguably the best AE player in conference history, so it is as good of a time as any...of course, they could always just be cursed.

I was more upset that after every USC basket they showed a replay of it for 10-15 seconds...meanwhile, the clock was running and UA had the ball during that entire time.

It is both incredible and troublesome that this team can win a game with players outside of Richards, Tate, and Saunders scoring a combined 6 points. Also, while Bose played alright on both ends of the floor, it is hard to generate as few number in 35 minutes of play. 0 points on 0-1 shooting, 1 rebound, 3 fouls, 2 turnovers. Coughlin also was a non-factor. The trio of 25, 23 & 12 have proven that they can be the best in the conference, and when Carter is on her game she can be solid as well, but it would be really nice to see if they could get consistent production from whoever else is at the other guard spot between Tate and Saunders.

I do like Bose's defense... however, I don't see much offense coming from her. As for last night's game, I did not see Bailey Hinson on the bench. Is there any news on her?

Not sure, but I do know that Amarri Trueheart left the program.

[UAalum72]

I hope the 10-day layoff was the reason for 55% (20-36) foul shooting on the home court
