Freshman PG Curman out. She smacked her head on the floor pretty hard Wednesday night.

Dawgs win!!! 85-80. Uchenna goes big. 34 & 17!
Outrebounded the Jags 34-25. Turnovers down with just 12. Brown, getting to play in her hometown, and Allmond with 10 each.
Next up at SEMO 11/25.

16-6 early against a NAIA team...
We beat NAIA Central Methodist 74-38.
Uchenna 23/15 double and Nelson an 11/10 double. Curman and Brown also in double figures with 10 each.
Allmond, Thompson, Samuel, Allen still out with injuries.
This team is pretty rough looking. We couldnt beat an NAIA school by more than 36? Our youth is gonna get us smacked around in Valley play. I shudder to think what Drake, Belmont, UNI and a few others will do to us.
Oh well. Going home and sitting in blessed silence after listening to 4000+ screaming little kids for the past two hours.
Up next a return game at North Texas on Saturday.

Women get thier asses handed to them at North Texas. Lose by 33. Got outscored in the 4th 24-6. 48-24 in the second half. Uchenna a non - factor.
We got T-ed up three times and two of them were pretty weak. One on our bench for being too boisterous one time (thier bench could have been hit with that SEVERAL times) and Gaines barely slammed a ball down after a foul.
Next up - at Little e next Sunday.

Ya know...I really don't like how Coach doesn't talk to our radio broadcast after a loss. This is NOT a good look.

@rabidsaluki Coach needs to address these losses. They’re piling up and not looking like they have the Dawgs to get them out of this backslide.
This current tenure has been really bad and this program has mostly scuffled for decades now. Time for yet another reboot.
Worst women's team in years. Losing Mason and Randle to the portal was a killer. Did we not recruit Silvey's sister?

Won the MVC in 2022 in Stein's last year, but you're right that we have not been consistently good for decades really.
You can say the same thing about the men since the 2000s.
Another ugly half. Lost to UAB 75-57. Got smoked in the second half 40-20. Looked pretty good in the first half against a good shooting Blazer squad.
Allmond led the way with 17. Uchenna with another double 14&13. Cooper with 11.
Next up: Valley opener at Valpo next Sunday.

Its definitely a head scratcher.
This is a young team. There are only two established seniors on this team (Allmond & Brown). Allmond is hobbled with feet issues and has to play restricted minutes. We've got one player (grad transfer Thompson) trying to work herself back into playing shape after a major shoulder injury. Another local-ish post transfer Allen (Sikeston, MO) who hasn't been on the court at all - undisclosed injury. Returnee post Samuel who hasn't been on the court at all - probably an extension of last year's blown knee.
I'm discouraged, but there have been small improvements.
I am impressed with Uchenna. Not so much with Curman. Thought the 6-4 kid from Chicago -Gaines- would see more time. But she is a Freshman herself.
