Game 47 - Memphis women at Central Michigan

December 15 at McGuirk Arena in Mount Pleasant, MI
Chippewa Sports Network

Play-by-play man Adam Jaksa isn't the only one guilty of using the phrase "dribble drive". I've heard it many times by many different broadcasters. Jaksa is just the latest after he said it three times during Memphis' 64-61 win.

Once again: what is a dribble drive?!

1. Can you drive without dribbling?
2. Is there such a thing as a pick the ball up and run drive?

* Central Michigan had snapped a tie and gone up 61-56 on Reyna Frost's first 3-pointer of the season and a Da'Jourie Turner lay-up with about six minutes to play. But the hosts never scored again, missing their final nine shots, including three on one possession with the scored tied at 61-61, and turned the ball over three times over the final six minutes.

Turnovers have been a huge problem for CMU lately (65 during a current four-game losing streak), so it's no surprise that Memphis' trapping defense was an issue.

* She didn't score and was 0-for-5 from the field in 20 minutes, but that was after CMU forward Jewel Cotton was named the newest member of the Scoochie Smith All Stars.
