BTW, I thought that the NCAA had some rules on the sneaker protocol? MSU is wearing the “Easter collection” of colors and Rikea is wearing 2 completely different colors

Howard stepped up big time towards the end of this game. Tremendous game by Rickea as well.

This has been a fun and frustrating game all into one. Will be interesting to watch both teams vs SC.

One will upset SC.

What an awful decision by Matharu. I hate when teams think they need to go for 3 right away. Get a quick 2.

I was hoping to see them try to get it to Carter.

25 pts in the 4th quarter.

Do you ever give any credit to SEC teams Plebe?

I give credit where it's earned. Not on the basis on reputation, assumptions or group-think.

I had South Carolina as my #1 team until they lost at home to North Carolina State. I also had MSU as a top 10 team until they showed otherwise.

 

[Dwilliams02]

Kentucky is legit. I felt if State didn't try to attack Howard and keep her in foul trouble. She would make a difference in a close game.

SC plays Kentucky twice so both games will be very interesting

A Kentucky win helps the BE and DePaul in particular. "Enhancement by association".

 

[Dwilliams02]

See y'all in the Texas thread lol

 

[SECbbfan24]

MSU is great offensively but IMO they aren't as fundamentally sound defensively under McCray as they were under Vic

This is a good point.

So that means DePaul would be 2nd in the SEC and South Florida would be close behind LOL.

 

[eebmg]

Plebe clearly motivated Howard who probably was monitoring the BY thread.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Didn't A&M beat Depaul?

 

[DeeHusky]

One will upset SC.

I don’t think so. Not from what I seen. SC has gotten better since that NC State loss

 

[WFFL]

Howard showed why she’s the best player in the country . Her takeover ability is unmatched!

 

[Dwilliams02]

Didn't A&M beat Depaul?

Yes. They is the biggest question mark until they play State, Ark, uk, or SC. I'm tempted to say they are the #2 team in conference

 

[SECbbfan24]

Not saying SC loses but it's definitely not out of the possibility. Especially if they struggle shooting from 3 which they have at times this year.

To put it very mildly. Leaving Howard all alone on the 3-point line throughout the 4th quarter, failing to make any attempt to even guard her off screens...

Didn't A&M beat Depaul?

That was before the Kentucky game so it doesn't count as much as the KY win

92-86 KEN final in OT

Howard 33 pts (10-19, 4-6 3P, 9-10 FT), 10 reb, 6 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk

 

[Alydar]

Huge performance from Howard, at least in the 4th and OT which was all I saw. She had only 8 pts in the first 3 periods?

 

[SimpleDawg]

I think you can only move us up, not drop us down despite this final result, but that's just my opinion! Kentucky has gotten better, definitely a Top 10 team imo - possibly 2nd best team in the SEC.

I'm not knocking SC. At all. But they can be beaten. Especially if they are forced to shoot. If they want to beat SC. It's better now than later.
