Saw Doc in the sparse crowd. Is he still on the board?

GO BULLS!

18-10 Bulls at the end of the 1st

[USFBulls12]

Tseinke doing her thing, Puisis with a 3 and Dulcy is within 10 rebounds for 1000 in her career. Based on her average of 10+ rebounds per game, she should accomplish 1000 today. Turnovers are NOT a problem through the 1st. I haven't checked, but I don't think we had any.
