And then there were fewer: Sunday in conference tourneys

[Plebe]

Think about this:

How much would the Big10 suck if Maryland had not joined?

That would be some heavy suction.

The thing that drags down the Big Ten in conferencewide metrics is their bottom 4 of Rutgers-IL-WI-NE, which are all just bad.

Everyone else from #3 to #10 comprises a dull and mushy middle.

Like a custard filled donut? Is that better than a regular donut?

I said dull. Custard filling is not dull. Imagine if the donut was filled with unsalted mashed potatoes.

Brenda Frese needs to give all the Purdue players and coaches big hugs after the game... For taking out Ohio State

Brionna Jones had 27 points (11-of-13), 12 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Maryland wins.

South Florida is up by 8 over Temple with 5:00 to play. Temple is suffering from some cold shooting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon St. has started 5-5 from the floor and is up 11-3 over Stanford. They are dangerous when they shoot well. Wiese hasn't even attempted a shot yet, the other 4 starters have all scored.

[nwhoopfan]

16-3 OSU at the 4:24 mark. 7-9 from the floor. Wiese still hasn't scored. Stanford has 4 TO's and 1-5 from the floor.

 

[triaddukefan]

Good gosh Temple.. Can't even beat South Florida

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford got a shot right at/after the 1st quarter buzzer, being reviewed. Will be trailing either 22-12 or 22-14. Seems like the deficit should be much more than that. Gulic has 8 and Pivec has 6 (but 2 fouls) for OSU. Karlie and Alanna Smith both have 5 for the Card.

I got a feeling Stanford will come back and make it a competitive.. Possibly nail biting game. Ive seen too many Pac 12 games this year to think otherwise

OSU is cooling off (10-18 after starting out 8-10) and Stanford is creeping back in it. 24-16. Smith has been huge off the bench for Stanford, has 9 points. Only 2 other players have scored for the Card.

 

[nwhoopfan]

OSU is 2 for their last 11. Stanford still shooting poorly overall but has closed to 24-20.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Wiese with the buzzer beater to end the half. OSU up by 6.

 

[nwhoopfan]

God awful 2nd quarter, but McPhee got a crazy shot in the key to go in, then Wiese raced down court and banked in a 3 at the buzzer. Stanford outscored OSU 11-7 in the quarter, OSU leads 29-23 at the half. Not surprising this is an ugly game between these 2.

I would look forward to a Sweet 16 match-up between UConn & UCLA. On paper at least, sounds like a track meet of a game.

A track meet to see in which quarter UConn fans qualify for Buffalo Wild Wings

I want to see Weise and Plum play a game of Horse!!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Heck yeah! You could sell tickets to that and a bunch of people would show up.

 

[nwhoopfan]

OSU has scored almost as many points in the first 1:45 of the 3rd quarter (5) as they did the entire 2nd quarter (7). Smith started the half and continues to be the only player doing anything for Stanford.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Now the Beavers can't score again. Leading 34-30 about midway thru the 3rd quarter. Smith has 16 for Stanford, more than twice her season average.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford on a 9-0 run to tie it at 34.

I like OSU...but damn they are just unwatchable sometimes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

36-34 OSU w/ a minute left in the 3rd quarter. First to 44 wins...if anybody even gets there.

 

[CTyankee]

Not that I know about...but what really stinks is that this is all politics over that stupid bathroom bill North Carolina passed and then repealed!

Repealed??? When??? I was there last week and it had not been repealed. The Legislature has so far refused to do so. I am sure it will be all over the national press when they do.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wiese is not having a good game. Too much dribbling going nowhere, getting her pocket picked, getting late in the shot clock and either a violation or really bad shot. Stats only show her w/ 2 TO's but it really seems more like 6 or 7 at least.

 

[Plebe]

Stanford has really figured out how to defend the high ball screen. Wiese just can't get any of her offense going.

This game is looking very much like the 50-47 grinder at OSU last weekend.
