MSU Lady Cagers with a nice comeback win last night on the road

[She Mate Me]

Trailing by 8 entering the 4th Quarter they outscored a 9-1 Colorado State team 26-11 in the last 10 minutes to win 82-75 on the road.

Grad Transfer Lauren Park Lane with 33 on 10 of 17 from 3 point land.

CSU hadn't lost at home in over a year.

Dogs will finish 13-2 in the non-con after they destroy MVSU in the next game. Without some key injuries and illness, they could easily be 15-0.

Still not sure how far this team can go, but they still have a chance at a very nice run...

That road win will probably look really good on NCAA Tourney selection day possibly Quad 1.

I had a dejavu 1985 moment though when I realized the ladies were playing & it wasn't even available on ESPN+. I listened to most of the 2nd half on the radio. I haven't listened to that much of a game in any sport on the radio in 15 years.

I'll start what I wanna start. You be you.

Careful or fisticuffs could ensue.

You don't do many crosswords puzzles, do you?

That's not an insult. That's just the first place I saw it many moons ago. Without looking it up, I'm pretty sure it was a sports writers term in the 50s-60s.

ETA: I was way off on the era.

I wasn't following basketball in the 50's. Edited to add 1890's either

Not so much. Sportswriters were still using it in the 70's and 80's. I think Joe Dier used to call them that sometimes in the early Dawgs Bite articles.

I'm going to miss the days when sportswriting had actual personality once AI takes over everything.

I feel like Ernie Johnson in this thread.

Cagers. A term only David Murray could love and repeatedly over-use.

Balderdash!!!!!

I for one think cager should one hundred percent become part of the lexicon again. Hurrah.

Slap fight at South Farm Christmas Eve. Let’s start a new tradition.

Cagers for basketball.
Thinclads for track.
Cindermen for track.
Gridders for football.
Keglers for bowling.
