Game thread - Alabama A&M @ Henrico Sport Center Sat 12/20 1pm ESPN+

The Hunstville based Bulldogs of the SWAC come in at 3-7 and with no D1 victories. Lost to Ole Miss by 40 and Minnesota by 38.

Spiders cruise 82-45.
 
#301 in the NET and not worse than that because they've played the 16th-toughest non-conference schedule. Q1 games against Minnesota, Ole Miss, and Alabama, and a pair of Q3 games against Ball State and UAB. We'll be their first Q2 game. They've lost every D-I game by at least 20 except for a 5-point loss at #242 Nevada.
 
Spiders jumped out to a 13–0 lead and led 21–7 after one, but the second quarter was even as Alabama A&M started finding the hoop and the Spiders cooled off. 41–27 at the break.

Quiet game from Doogan so far with just 2 points, although she does have 6 boards and 3 assists. Persichetti and Ullstrom each have three triples, and Newell has a couple as the Spiders have assists on 14 of their 16 buckets.

After the initial shock, AAMU hasn't looked terrible. They're mostly making us work with their D. They've had a few ugly shots on O, but certainly haven't given up.
 
The result was never in doubt, but not nearly a strong enough performance against a team that has just one D-I win this season. Following the initial 13–0 spurt, the game was essentially even.

Rachel scored 20 including 6-of-12 from deep. Maggie finished with 15, 7, and 6, but 5 of the team's 11 turnovers. She had 10 of the Spiders' 13 points in the fourth (and she assisted on a Dewey three for rest of the points).
