[CompSci87]

I don't have a clue, really, but I picked Arizona out of Pac-12 homerism.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Amazing how these two teams each have the chance to a final four.

Terrific years for both of them

 

[Dillon77]

I don't have a clue, really, but I picked Arizona out of Pac-12 homerism.

Hah! I pretty much did the same because I've seen IU play a lot due to having the B1G Network.
Plus, I respect (and still like) Ali Patberg since she was at ND, think Grace Berger might show the most linear improvement of any player I've seen year-in, year-out and -- as I've started calling her, I love Kevin McHale's niece, McKenzie Holmes (she's not, but check those up and under moves).

Today's player who has something in common with both teams: Arizona's Bendu Yeaney, who was a very dependable sub for the Hoosiers before heading west.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

I'll take a flyer on Indiana since they beat South Carolina (32-1) comfortably last season.

not any actual current year basketball analysis going into this one, I'm afraid.

 

[pacific 44]

Having grown up in Maine,i gotta root for Indiana and my fellow Mainah, Mackenzie Holmes.

 

[Shades]

14-11 AZ end of first

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aari needs a bit of help. She's doing all she can.

 

[Shades]

19-19 with 4 min left in half

 

[Orangutan]

Let's go Wildcats! I got $5 on Arizona and my NCAAW bets are 0 for 2 so far this tournament.

I refuse to believe Indiana is making the Final Four.

 

[Orangutan]

Kinda wild that this game and the last one are from the same round of the same tournament.

 

[nwhoopfan]

It's mind blowing to me that McDonald shot the ball so poorly this year. The last 2 games she's shown what she can do. Disappointing Sr. year, but she's certainly making up for it in the Tourney.

Her last bucket she dirbbled around just about the entire Indiana team, and they were helpless trying to stop her.

 

[nwhoopfan]

27-23 UA at the half. I think I like UConn's chances in the Semi Final.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aari has 17 on 7-11 shooting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Holmes has 10, Patberg 8.

 

[Shades]

27-23 AZ at the half

McDonald 17 pts, 3 reb

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona is having difficulties defending Holmes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

A bit chippy there. Baptiste kinda walked thru Patberg (I think) on a dead ball. Hopefully she didn't just pick up a dumb foul (there was already a shooting foul preceding that).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Also an Indiana player left the bench, and after the refs sent both teams to their bench, there was an Indiana player by the wrong bench that a coach had to go get.

 

[nwhoopfan]

After a LONG discussion, nothing other than the common foul.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Indiana has cut an 8 point deficit to 1. Cats have stagnated.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McDonald is trying really hard to set her teammates up. She can't make the shots for them. Thomas did just drill a corner 3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Reece picked up her 3rd foul.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Indiana getting a steady stream of trips to the FT line now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Indiana tied it. Feels like it's slipping away from Arizona.
