Central Michigan vs Oregon - 3/24/18

[wbball novice]

Other than CMU, no more upset teams left?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hebard 16 points 8-12 FG 8 rebounds 3 blocks. I don't know what Coach Guevara was hoping to accomplish with her comments, but I think it's safe to say it didn't work.

 

[wbball novice]

Oh wait, OSU was kind of an upset of Baylor.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Other than CMU, no more upset teams left?

Oregon St. is a 6 seed that beat a 3 and a 2. UCLA slight upset as a 3 seed.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon giving up too many O boards. Good start to Q3 for CMU.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bando nails a 3, pushes the lead back out.

Ionescu had a slump late in the season when she wasn't playing very aggresively. She was fantastic in Pac 12 tourney and 1st/2nd round of the NCAA Tourney. She's looking non-aggressive again today.


CMU responded w/ another 3, but then Bando scored on a drive. 50-35 5:39 in Q3. CMU playing better but margin is same as halftime.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Just noticed, only 1 combined FTA for both teams at this point. That's crazy!

Rebounding is even at 24, but CMU has 12 O boards.

 

[nwhoopfan]

another O board for CMU and they get another 3

immediately answered by Bando, she's taken over Q3

 

[nwhoopfan]

another O board and 2nd chance point, that has to be driving Coach Graves nuts

UO misses, CMU gets an and-1

53-43

 

[nwhoopfan]

CMU definitely heating up 55-46

Ionescu and Cazorla need to wake up already, this is a ball game

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hebard missed a pair of FTs

now Gildon going to the line

 

[wbball novice]

No team that shot as badly as CMU did in Q1 should be in the Elite 8 and Oregon is letting them back into the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hebard not scoring at will this half but they are starting to draw fouls. Gildon hit both, now Hebard hit 1-2.

 

[nwhoopfan]

No team that shot as badly as CMU did in Q1 should be in the Elite 8 and Oregon is letting them back into the game.

Yeah I'm really disappointed w/ Oregon today. This is not the team I've been watching all year.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gildon having an impact, Hebard swatting shots, Oregon up 60-46 now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Now Oregon hitting the O boards. Ionescu just doesn't really have it today. Ducks pulling away w/ FTs.

 

[ASweet3781]

Oregon couldn't fly into Spokane until yesterday. Their plane had mechanical problems. My guess is their routine was thrown off quite a bit.

 

[nwhoopfan]

It's been mostly Gildon and Bando in Q3 for Oregon. 66-48 after 3. Little used Justine Hall just drilled a 3 at the end of the quarter.

 

[wbball novice]

OK, 3 at the end of quarter to create spacing in the score comparable to UConn.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon couldn't fly into Spokane until yesterday. Their plane had mechanical problems. My guess is their routine was thrown off quite a bit.

That could be. They are going to need to be much sharper against ND on Monday.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ionescu does have 7 assists and has had some sweet passes to Hebard and Gildon.

 

[wbball novice]

Oregon hasn't been much worse than UConn today, and they have another quarter left to pull it past UConn's final score.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ionescu buries a 3 to start Q4

 

[Plebe]

If this is playing bad then Oregon's really good.

Oregon is shooting 50% and Hebard is having a monster game with 19 points, 13 boards, and 6 blocks.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon hasn't been much better than UConn today, and they have another quarter left to pull it past UConn's final score.

They're still gonna score 80+ in a game where they played poorly.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Oregon hasn't been much worse than UConn today, and they have another quarter left to pull it past UConn's final score.

It would not be a stretch to say we had the 4th best offense today out of the 4 winners.
