Final two home games for the FIRST PLACE Lady Birds.

Two huge games against 3rd place MSU and 2nd place SIU. This weekend could decide the entire Valley race or at least have a major say in it.

ISU 10-3
SIU 10-2
MSU 9-3

When I saw the Birds at Wisconsin, live and in person, in December, where they got handled pretty easily really (Badgers are 7-17 right now), I didn't know what the outlook would be for the season. I'm pleasantly surprised by how they seem to have come together, overcome the loss of Stinson, gotten top performances out of a variety of players, and finished up pretty well. 12-2 since the Wisconsin game, unless I missed something. JuJu is something, one of the best we've had in a while. Wilson's been more consistent. Bullman is getting better. Bowers is helping. Wong is steady. Crompton is learning how to deal with the heavy pressure defense being thrown at her.

Coach G is doing a great job.

Saw they are having a deal for the weekend games. $15 a ticket gets you tickets to both games AND a parking pass.

JuJu scores 37, named MVC Player of the Week for 3rd time. DeAnna Wilson has
been similarly honored twice, and 3 pt assassin Mary Compton. We beat the Bears by 1pt on the road. We lost to the Salukis by 9 in a game that did not highlight our talents.

these girls work like crazy, and they most definitely feed off the crowd. Let’s show up and bring a friend or two end
spport a great coach who leads a terrific group of young women

Man. Deflating weekend for the ladies. Hopefully they can bounce back to finish the season strong going into the tournament.

After the first 4 conference games, I posted I was thrilled at the start after the terrible non conference. But I had concerns if they had enough offense to win the league. They just struggle to score at times, other than JuJu no consistent offensive threat
