Yes...since the media has already declared NC State has no chance at playing in it.Trying to see who could face off against South Carolina in the national championship game?
It really was like déjà vu all over again. I guess technically LSU did no worse than South Carolina did last year against Clark, but it felt like there were zero adjustments being made and put an under the weather, undersized Van Lith on her made no sense. But, then again, she’s going to get hers regardless.
A Wildcat win would rank as one of the greatest upsets in women's basketball and perhaps in all of basketball AKA the Jim Valvano miracle
Who? You mean Wolfpack?
Or did I mean kitties
My dad is a HUGE OSU baseball fan.
Bueckers is legendary and Edwards is a very very good forward. Bueckers has been overshadowed this year by Clark but is an all time great whether she wins a title in her career or not.
Yeah, and Forbes and Watkins were just 17 of 47. Nobody could shoot for USC.
Well said, Reypl21. Never throughout the game did it seem USC ran plays on offense or had any clue where each other were on the court.
The better coached team clearly won tonight. UCONN's execution ran circles around USC's. USC had many plays where there was no intention offensively. Just players playing hero ball, taking poor shots, and no ball movement or cutting.
I thought for sure the Pac-12 would get at least one team into the final weekend, but alas, if the last spot had to come down to the Pac-12 or the Big East ... I'm glad the good guys won this one.
That's how USC played this entire season, and I was forever amazed they were so successful in big games against good teams with that style of play.
I could see a Draymond or a Dennis Rodman type. I've mentioned Glory Johnson as an example in the WNBA of a high motor, very athletic but kind of a frenzied player that isn't very smooth offensively. Her shot is likely her worst attribute, but she's quite good in all other areas. Incredible rebounder, great defender, passes well and is unselfish. Her handle is good for her size but she's a high dribbler and really shouldn't be handling the ball much at the next level. If she goes pro this year I think people are foolish to let her drop past 6-7. If she sticks around another year I think she's a lottery pick in 2025 along with Morrow, Bueckers and Iriafen.
Possibly. Back in the day, most teams did. Then, it became a political statement to line up for the anthem. Arizona teams (and back when we were following Rutgers) the team started lining up because the fans wanted it. But we had a couple visiting teams that left the court for the national anthem this year. We actually had one that left the court to huddle up during player introductions.
Kim was asked about it during the press conference, sounded like it was purely a coincidence rather than a statement like we've seen with other teams in the past.
I know. Like I said, I picked them on the day the brackets came out, but it was purely on faith in the best player and best coach in that region. There still doing this with six players, made tougher tonight by an unforgiving whistle. Three players going 40 minutes two days after a grueling sweet sixteen rock fight is crazy. And let's not pretend they were competitive with elite opponents in the regular season.
