A new year of basketball: Dec. 30-Jan. 6

56-55. Cal is gonna pull this one out. I've seen this too many times, good first half by UW followed by a terrible second half.

edit--Cal grabs their first lead since the first minute of the game 57-56. This was a winnable game but Dawgs are blowing it.

You really battle with fan pessimism, huh?
 
Too nervous to watch. UW went up 3, Cal went up 3 almost instantaneously, now it's tied w/ 1 minute left.
 
Ugh. Henson hits 1 or 2 FTs, UW up 67-64. Cal advances ball to halfcourt on TO, 6.5 seconds left.
 
Whew. 3 hit from rim, bounced out of bounds w/ .6 seconds left.
 
Melgoza went cold after a 7-7 start, but she finished the game w/ huge 3 from the corner and then a bank shot in the lane to give UW the lead for good. Finished 13-25.

Ha it must feel satisfying for Wynn to accomplish what that turncoat who left her cupboard bare (Neighbors of Arkansas) couldn't -- win at Berkeley :cool:

This was actually an important win for UW. Don't look now but after this win they're 7th in the Pac-12 in Massey (#57), and their nonconference win over Iowa actually gives some hope that they can build an NCAA at-large resume **if** they can win enough games in the Pac-12.
 
I didn't know where to put this...and didn't think it was worthy of a thread, but....

When I got home from bowling last night, I was treated to four games simultaneously from the Pac 12 on the various Pac 12 networks. I kept switching back and forth between UCLA/Arizona State...and Arizona/USC.

That conference race is going to be entertaining, for sure.
 
Full day of Big South Hoops about to tip off on ESPN+ at 2pm EST, highlighted by the big Campbell @ UNC-A matchup. USC-Upstate tussles with my HPU Panthers also at 2pm.

Who are you rooting for between the Camels and the Bulldogs? (That's quite the interesting clash of mascots.)

I think Campbell is better....... they have a victory over UNC-G, though they did get blown out by Wake Forest. Usually though I root for UNC-A unless they are playing HPU.
 
HPU was down 9-1 early in the first quarter.... but rallied to take a 24-15 lead at the end of the 1st quarter.

tough year for the methodist schools in NC so far.... HPU, Duke, Brevard.... all struggling... not sure about NC Wesleyan.

Speaking of methodists..... in the battle of east vs west ..... Methodist at Greensboro is happening right now in Division III action. My Pride is up 41-23 at the half. :cool: Thats the game I should have attended today.

NCAA Tourney seems like a bit of a pipe dream, but I think NIT should be attainable. I give almost no chance of beating Stanford in Maples, but then they return home for another game against Wazzu. Realistically should be 3-1 w/ 2 road wins under their belt. Should be able to find some more wins against teams like Utah and Colorado, Cal at home, maybe USC?

Sure would like to have a do over in those late collapses against Tulane and Vandy. That's a big part of why I got pessimistic last night, they haven't been closing games very well this season.
 
I'm sure the fine folk over in High Point are happy that I decided against attending the game today. HPU leads Upstate 63-40 headed into the 4th quarter.

Arkansas Pine Bluff is on the verge of getting its first win of the season over a D1 team. Playing at Mississippi Valley State:



I really like this PBP guy :)
 
Wisconsin - Penn State upholding the conference of parity

46-45 Wisconsin after 3Q.
 
BYU continuing to struggle. About to lose to Portland 57-48 in Provo. Their offense sucks, they've scored right around 50 or less several times this year, including pretty much every halfway decent team they've played.
 
Oh boy. I think I just witnessed an ACL tear. Purdue's Tamara Farquhar went down when her knee buckled inward going for a rebound. Ugh. No.

:oops:
 
The renaissance of Wake is continuing. They're up on Georgia Tech 50-43 midway through 4Q. This team has found something.
 
Florida playing well vs Vandy. They may pull this off.


Vandy making a run now
 
I was just surfing all the womens' games today and stumbled upon Vandy vs Florida on ESPNU. FL up by 7 in 4Q. Holly Warlick was providing color during the broadcast.
 
Purdue has stormed back on a 9-0 run to tie the game vs. Rutgers with 4:30 left.
