ISU Women’s tournament dreams ended in Boise with a 77 to 54 lost to the Boise State Broncos. The lost brought to an end not only the dreams of the Bengals moving on to the second round, but also the careers of Natalie Doma and Andrea Lightfoot. Even though Doma had another double-double 13 points and 17 rebounds, along with Lightfoot 16 points, it wasn’t enough to over come the lack of defensive rebounding that gave Boise State 21 points. In the rebounding department BSU out rebound ISU 66 to 44 with 21 put back points for BSU to ISU 2 points.
Coach Jon Newell said about the rebounding,” When you let someone have 27 offensive rebounds it’s hard to win the game. We do a great job defensively and force a bad shot, but don’t get the block out and give up second and third chances and that’s a part of defense.”
Shots seem to be rejected by the rims for both teams, ISU shot 25 percent from the floor with BSU shooting 31 percent for the game. The Broncos put up an astounding 85 shots towards the basket.
The physical play by BSU with the constant push for rebounds wore down the ISU team. “We were manhandled tonight all over the floor, We have to be tough we did for awhile the we backed down as a team, got to us finally and that’s when they went on the run. The frustration was just rising with every possession. Most of that crap went on, then we it beat us down.” ,said Coach Jon Newelle
The Bengals had a chance with 8:01 left in the game, Doma put in a lay up which made the score 49-44, a foul by Videbeck and a media time, slowed the pace down. After the time out Boise went on a 16 to 0 run, to end the game.
As Newell pointed out it was the rebounds that led to the Bengals demise.
