#6 Texas vs #2 Maryland - 3/28/21

[JordyG]

Always always a good day when Maryland loses in the Tournament.




Come on man.... this was a great thread.. a great night... and you are trying to mess it up for me.

Ima mess up your day some more. I had a couple more of those carrot/pumpkin donuts today. Also the other day I treated myself to pizza from one of the very few coal/brick oven franchises in NYC, Grimaldi's. God so good. YOLO baby.

 

[TC22]

Are you crazy? Vic has beaten Dawn as many times as any active coach not named Geno if I'm not mistaken. : )

3x in 10 years.

 

[JordyG]

Yeah.... I couldn't even buy alcohol the last time she won.

Making up for lost time are you?

 

[Plebe]

Everybody had Texas, Indiana, and Arizona in their E8 brackets, right?

And Michigan was just a whisker away.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

3x in 10 years.

Who has beaten her more though? Just Geno?

 

[Shades]

Miller is chirpy. I like it a little bit.

McCoughtry Lite

 

[SCGamecock]

given that South Carolina has gotten this far, I have to agree with you.

But there is a limit to what even fate can do.

The sarcasm is killing me LOL

 

[Plebe]

Yeah.... I couldn't even buy alcohol the last time she won.

Me neither. Those were the days. Remember Val Whiting?

 

[DaBball]

John Cohen not paying him 4 million to stay is starting to look idiotic at this point.

Hopefully this game silences the Vic haters on the MSU board.

4 million? To lose to Dawn Staley annually in a sport that loses money?

Wish Collier was returning, plus she could use it.

Vic will have a very talented roster next season.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Biggest question: do the Miss state fans unite behind Vic or remain divided?

I've got it 90/10 for Vic.

 

[southie]

Most of Benzan's missed jumpers were open. But they did a good job on Owusu and stopping the pick and roll game.

Well, katie Benzan was committed to Texas and Karen Aston and signed her paperwork in November 2019. But, she ended up switching to Maryland; she told Vic the news via a voicemail.

I might have to go down to Donut World and see if they can do a carrot type donut.

I buy on average one bottle of wine a year....... not much of drinker. But if Duke ever wins a WBB title in my lifetime... watch out liver.

In the fourth quarter I noticed some Maryland players had a shocked look on their faces. It was if they did not know how to handle the closeness of the game.

 

[TC22]

Seriously? That's a South Carolina fan mocking everybody who is doubting South Carolina. I thought that was blatantly obvious, but apparently not.

Ok. I wondered WTH was going on. Got my ire up. ?

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Vic will have a very talented roster next season.

I think he's going to be a major factor very soon.

They'll likely be a heavyweight in terms of talent too, but can see them taking other heavies out regularly.

I'd like to lose to Dawn Staley if it means going to the Elite 8. I obviously was exaggerating with the 4 million, but you see the value of Vic. And yeah.... I'd pay him 3 million easily.

 

[triaddukefan]

Me neither. Those were the days. Remember Val Whiting?

I hated Stanford for beating my favorite team at the time (UVA) twice in three years at the final 4.

 

[Blueballer]

And to all the people claiming UCONN can't win against good teams without a bench it's worth noting that Vic used 6 players tonight.

 

[Shades]

I can picture that too. But Texas can speed up the game which will hurt Boston.
However, if Warren can't play the next game I hope this didn't pave the way for SC to the Finals

She’s fine.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ok. I wondered WTH was going on. Got my ire up. ?

Well that was my take, it's coming from a die hard fan who I doubt would be trashing South Carolina, so I figured it had to be hard core sarcasm.

 

[TC22]

Who has beaten her more though? Just Geno?

Would have to be. We’ve not lost to anybody in our conference more than 3 times. In fact it was only twice we lost to Vic. We beat them in the SEC tournament championship and messed up their undefeated season in 2018.

Sooner than now?

Your liver is safe.

 

[rvwsleep]

Please basketball gods, just let Texas and Vic give them their best game to date and make it really hard for them. Thank you.

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

[SCGamecock]

Noticing a lot of people (specifically non-Gamecock fans) saying Texas has no shot against SC.

SC fans know better than to underestimate a Vic Schaefer coached team.
