McNeese St In Position To Baggett Again

For all practical purposes, this game was over after the first five minutes as McNeese State jumped out to a 17-0 lead against Texas State. The Bobcats couldn't make a basket while it appeared the Cowgirls couldn't miss, in fact McNeese shot close to 60% in the first half, 55% from bta while Texas State managed just over 13% and also throw in a 25-7 rebound advantage for the Cowgirls and you can see why the score was 48-9 at the half.

Texas State is a better team than the one that played on Thursday, I saw them on Tuesday and I saw them against Rice back in December but McNeese State made it to the NCAA Tourney last season by winning the Southland Conference Tournament and they came out focused and ready to do it again

So much is said about the Baggett twins, Caitlyn and Ashlyn, and their ability to drop bombs from all over the court however Candace LaCombe can also shoot the three pretty darn good as she led the Cowgirls with 16 points, this included four threes

Markita Hull beasted up with a double-double of 13 points and 17 rebounds while the Baggett twins and Raiywana Gatlin had 11 each, followed by Kendra Wells who was a rebound shy of her own double-double with 10 and 9. In all, six Cowgirls finished in double digits putting together a very balanced scoring attack

Ashley Ezeh  and Diamond Ford combined for 45 points against Sam Houston on Tuesday but both scored only 2 in the first half against the Cowgirls. The both caught fire in the second half and finished in double digits
