Only 8 Coogs in uniform. Jazz Harris isn’t on the bench.

We do we only have eight? Lots of injuries or transfers, etc.?

Not sure. Not much news about the team out there. Kris Gardner is here so hopefully he gets something.

Coogs down 20-14 after one.

I think it may be illness hitting the team.

Never mind, saw Jazz up in the stands across from the bench. Guessing she’s suspended. Got told she got into it with Coach during the UCONN game.

Coogs up 34-33 at half. Came back after being down 25-14.

Coogs up 56-55 at the end of the 3rd.

Coogs pull away late, 78-65

Good “stick to it” by the Ladies. Curious to hear the story on Jazz.
