Nice comeback for the win, shot the ball terrible for most of the game.
Listened to the postgame show on the Tarleton station and their coach said their players were playing for themselves and not for the team. Also said they were more worried about making sure they got their shot up. She did complain about how many free throws WIU shot compared to them, said they were getting bumped but weren't getting fouls called.
The women head to San Antonio to take on Incarnate Word tonight at 6 PM.
