I'm not sure Michigan is for real and because of that I'm going with Ohio State.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

I feel that way about Ohio State. I thought they overperformed most of the season and is now is falling back to the pack. Hillmon is the real deal and Brown is playing well. I'm taking Michigan at home.

Lots of good games at noon and 2 PM.

16-14 MICH with 3 min left in first

I wonder if the female announcer is a fan of the Big Ten...

I think she has a point about Michigan though. Although what the country really needs is 6 SEC teams in the top 16 seeds, right?

If she isn’t, she’s announcing the wrong game. ?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Juhasz hasn't scored and Hillmon has 4, maybe they're cancelling each other out somewhat.

It was 20-16 Michigan thru Q1, tOSU just cut it to 2.

I think Michigan’s problem at the time of the reveal was they hadn't played Maryland or Indiana and were 0-1 against Ohio State. There’s a drop off in the Big 10 after that with Northwestern sliding, so they really didn’t have much on their resume. They since lost a close one at Indiana. Big wins move you up the seed lines (which is why I thought NC State belonged on the 1 line).

If Sheldon has a good game, that could be a problem for Michigan.

Neither Michigan nor Ohio State look like top 15 teams to me. Very sloppy. Watched many Big 10 games and believe league just overrated.

I dont disagree, I'd prefer that she announce the game rather than keeping reiterating that same point over and over and over again.

She moved on eventually.

I was watching the Gonzaga men blowing out somebody last night, and one of the commentators spent at least 5 minutes talking about a specialty sandwich that a Spokane hotel noted for its dining experience named after him. Probably longer than 5 minutes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Michigan pulling away 52-35 late in Q3.

 

[Shades]

Somebody must have woke Hillmon up.

 

[Gurleyman]

First time watching them but I feel like Michigan defends better than the other Big 10 games I’ve seen. They pass the top 16 eye test to me.

They're definitely top 16 in my book. Brown and Hillmon are going to be a handful for any team.

Dang, Hillmon is one dirty player. No wonder she gets so many rebounds and put backs!

Another game with no assists, steals or blocks for her too. She literally is a one trick pony, but is so exceptional at that one trick. So strong and quick you can’t defend her. Would love to see her go against Boston in the tourney to see what happens in that matchup (they were USA teammates with Paige so they’ve played against each other a lot in practice).

Isn't she a 2 trick pony w/ the low post scoring and the rebounding?

 

[Gurleyman]

Yeah - that’s sort of what I mean as one trick. She camps out under the basket and just gets buckets and boards. But don’t mean to ignore the rebounding. The same strength and quickness that get her buckets and post moves get her rebounds too - and she has Velcro for hands. Once her hands are on it, its hers - and if it’s on the offensive end, the ball is in the basket in a blink of an eye while you are still thinking about the rebound.

Sounds like a special player to me.

Dorka Juhasz had an unusual poor shooting day, 0-8. Hillmon defense?

She been a disappointment all season. She had such a great freshman season but seem to have regressed since then.
