And then there were fewer: Sunday in conference tourneys

[Vowelguy]

Anyone who doesn't have Aja as 1st team AA (5-person) hasn't been watching the SEC tourney.

I think it's Plum, Collier, KLS, Aja, + 1 other.

Is our reward a trip to Stockton after Sioux Falls last season? I don't know if the NCAA pays attention to what they did the previous season

If it's several seasons in a row, then yes it does become a factor, but likely not merely last year.

Had there been PAC upsets and Oregon St was a weak #2 then it wouldve been easier for the committee to want to keep SC close to home (and thus put ND out west), but not to be.

This ballgame is over. A'ja Wilson got offensive rebounds on consecutive possessions in the last few minutes to chew up a ton of clock. She completely took over the game in the 4th quarter.

Even in defeat, though, Miss St has earned respect. They had a 5-point lead with 10 minutes to go. What killed them was going 0 for 15 from 3.

And because she takes a lot of criticism, I feel obliged to point out that Kaela Davis played perhaps her best game of the season: 23 points on 9-of-16 shooting (3-of-4 from 3), and 3 assists to boot.

West Virginia is challenging Texas in the Big 12 semifinals. Texas came out to an early 10-point lead, but WV responded with a dominant 2nd quarter and went up 5 at halftime.

Joyner Holmes has 0 points and 3 fouls.
Tynice Martin already has 14 points for WV.

Announcers are gushing about Aja Wilson to the point it's annoying.

It's kinda like how they gush about UConn during every single game that doesn't involve UConn.

WVU up 4 with 14 secs left.

WVU up 4 with 14 secs left.

And McCarty with the 3 cuts the lead to 1 with 0:09 left.

Eers upset Longhorns 62-59!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Down goes Texas. That HAS to knock them off the #2 seed line doesn't it?

 

[ASweet3781]

Isn't this like the 3rd of 4th loss down the stretch for Texas? Are they still a 2 seed? If Stanford wins shouldn't they get a 2?

 

[Vowelguy]

WV solidifies their bid.

Texas probably drops down to a #3 seed. I always thought Stanford would get a #2, and this only confirms that belief. This may have opened the door though for MD to get the last 2.

I thought they were off the #2 line after losing to Oklahoma and Iowa State. But surely now they are.

2-4 record since winning @ Florida St. and 8 losses now for the season.

WV's bid was solidified with its blowout win over Oklahoma yesterday. These two wins will give them at least a #8 seed IMO, probably #7.

I would've thought so, but ESPN has been showing them on the 2 line today prior to this game.

Interesting. So Texas began and ended its season with 2-4 stretches, with an undefeated stretch in the middle.

 

[MilfordHusky]

We could get Stanford as our 2 seed.

I think it's down to Maryland and the loser of Oregon St./Stanford.

 

[Husky fanatic]

In the Dayton, Duquesne game, the announcer sounds like the Uconn announcer on the SNY games, Megan's partner. I can't remember his name.

I would thing Maryland has the inside track for the 2 seed. If MD loses to Purdue then no way.

I don't see Stanford getting a 2 seed unless Maryland loses.

What are Stanford's stats vs Texas?

 

[triaddukefan]

Chattanooga also going Dancing. Mercer had a potential game winning 3 pointer bounce around and roll off the rim at the buzzer. Heartbreaker!

Heartbreaking indeed.. And they had a lead going into the fourth quarter. Think it's the second year in a row they made the championship game only to lose to The Mocs

Also feel bad for New Hampshire. Was like 26-4 and then they lost today in the conference semis

What are Stanford's stats vs Texas?

Stanford beat them head to head at the beginning of the season

 

[chuck.r]

2-4 record since winning @ Florida St. and 8 losses now for the season.

Fla St also finished 2-4 over their last six, starting with the loss to Texas. Both teams had their wheels come off down the stretch.

Interesting that the 4 programs expected to get the 1-seeds are the very 4 predicted at the start of the season: UConn, Baylor, ND, & So Car.

I think it's down to Maryland and the loser of Oregon St./Stanford.

Even is OSU loses to Stanford, I can't see their reward being placed in UCONN's bracket? OSU will either be in South Carolina's bracket or Baylor's bracket. If Maryland loses this current game vs Purdue, Stanford could get the final #2 seed.

 

[ASweet3781]

And Texas has 8 losses including 4 out of 6 to end the year.

If Maryland and Stanford win their tourneys it would seem both should get a 2 seed over Texas.

 

[LO TRADER]

Interesting. So Texas began and ended its season with 2-4 stretches, with an undefeated stretch in the middle.

Texas has been trending the wrong way for quite some time. Why Charlie Creme had them at a #2 seed, even before this loss to West Virginia escapes me.

Four years ago and three years ago we were also sent out west. It's probably a bigger deal to fans than the team.

I said at the top of this thread that Tynice Martin was a supserstar in the making. Well, after her 29-point performance today, we can begin to shed that "in the making" qualifier.
