Being reported only 8 players available tonight
Also, Rickea not in uniform, and has been dribblng around

[NCMSTFAN]

We have only played 7 girls... but we lead by 9 right now.. I wonder what happened? Why aren't the other girls playing?

[NCMSTFAN]

It's 53 to 32 we are pulling away but it's concerning that only 7 girls are playing. I'm following the game online so I haven't heard the reason yet

Thanks for the update, the ESPN boxscore doesn't show Kohl playing. I didn't know about Godfrey transferring but did know the youngest Hayes and Moore being hurt, Jasmine Shavers also transferred. Our next game is Bethune Cookman so hopefully we can win with these 8 before playing Dayton. We need Rickea and Jones and it would be really nice to get Jessika Carter back.

At the end of the game on Friday, Jackson was slumped over on the floor by the scorers table the training staff was tending to her then for at least 5 minutes

MSU outscored ASU 35-7 in the third quarter to blow open the game. Coach Novak made some minor adjustments on the defense by mixing in a press. There were at least three straight possessions where we stole the inbound pass and turned it into points. They were switching off in the perimeter and got a couple of steals by jumping in the passing lanes. We also ran more set plays on offense. He inverted things several times to post up J Jordan. I?ve been very impressed with the in game changes.
