#4 Indiana vs #1 North Carolina St - 3/27/21

[Sched234]

Indiana just calmly drilling mid range jumpers like they are layups.

I haven't seen IU play more than a handful of times this year, but the mid-range game appears to be their calling card.

In modern basketball it's deemed a bad shot. I don't agree. If you can hit them and they are open, it's a thing of beauty.

 

[triaddukefan]

State just can't get past the Sweet 16 hump

 

[Kaizen]

NC State just can not stop Indiana's inside scores.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Indiana is just surgically taking NCST apart in Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

22-9 in Q3 so far.

 

[JordyG]

State can't match IU's speed, ball movement, or ability to block out.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

This is the Indiana team I've seen all season except for the blip in the Big 10 tournament.

 

[JordyG]

Nor can State stop IU off the dribble,

 

[LETTERL]

NC State shoots its first FT of the game with 2:03 left in the 3rd quarter. Too little too late now.

 

[triaddukefan]

this is ugly

 

[JordyG]

I do not care for NC State -- they're fraudulent -- but they have already proven they're a threat to SC, and we know that SC can at least hang with UConn.

Better to get them outta here. The Mercado Regional final should be Indiana v. Arizona. NCST and Texas A&M have grossly underplayed their seeding thus far.

The entire SEC has grossly underplayed their seedings.

 

[JordyG]

this is ugly

Not for IU fans.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Much needed little run by NCST at the end of Q3. Down 10. Was at least 14, maybe more? Indiana went a bit cold after hitting almost everything that quarter.

 

[LETTERL]

Going to 4th quarter...Indiana up 58-48.

That’s a really good point. All year long, Indiana has been one of those top-15 teams that everyone knows can take out a top-5.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see State come back—they seem to have a penchant for that. They don’t have any chance at a national title regardless, though.

You should be proud of your conference and your team. Maligned in some quarters they're showing, to me, they're at least the second best conference in the country this year. Tell you what though WCBB fans. You'd better get UConn this year 'cause the next three years are going to be bad for basketball.

I agree UConn isn’t going away, although I’m not sure the Fudd effect outweighs the incoming class South Carolina brings in.

 

[JordyG]

I don't think I've ever seen a #1 seed get beaten off the dribble more than NC St.

UConn with the #1 incoming class? Even if it's all a trade off UConn will still be at least 1 point better next year.

 

[nwhoopfan]

14-21 shooting for IU in 2nd half.

 

[JordyG]

Twice down now IU hasn't brought any weak side help. Why is that?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cunane w/ back to back buckets. Not quite over yet. 66-58 w/ just under 5 to play.

 

[LETTERL]

4:34 left...Indiana up 66-58.
