Sayvia Sellers got the ball left with a few seconds left and got a good look at a 3 point shot and didn’t make it.

My notes are gibberish because I was so nervous during the game, but UW was up 9 points at half over #3 seed TCU. Avery Howell had 11 points going into halftime and UW held TCU to 6 points in the 2nd quarter. Olivia Miles, who averages 36 ppg, only had 4 points at the half.

In other words, things were looking bright and shiny for UW going into half. UW has tended to disappear in the second half of games and they played better this third quarter than in other close games this year. TCU was able to eek out a few more points per quarter than UW, causing the game to go into overtime.

TCU went on a 7-0 run to start overtime, making things look grim for UW. However, UW pulled themselves together and tied it up. TCU went up again by 5 and UW didn’t back down, getting back to within 3.
