Wake up onNC state by 6 going into 4th quarter
Will be sad to lose this one. Lots at stake for NCState and the first sell-out in the refurbished Reynolds Coliseum.
On Play4Kay day and with a top 16 seeding and right to host on the line. This one will hurt.
Unbelievable that NC State is 4-0 against the top 4 teams in the ACC, but now will have 4 losses to second-tier (and fourth-tier, in the case of UNC) teams.
Monique Billings w/ 12 pts. and 21 rebounds thru 3 quarters, UCLA up big over Washington St. That's a Chantel Osahor kind of stat line.
In other Pac 12 action Colorado jumped out to a 25-8 1st quarter lead against Oregon and the Ducks don't look like they're going to be able dig out of that hole. Down 14 w/ 7 minutes left in the game. Ducks could be really good next year but they aren't quite there yet.
Going into today...NCState was 36-4 against Wake in Raleigh. Just a devastating loss. Not only losing the opportunity to host in the NCAAT, but falling out of the double-bye opportunity in the ACCT.
Impressive rebounding from Billings. UCLA is hungry to avenge their loss from January. Washington State has gotta be the most injury-decimated team I've ever seen.
Surprised but not shocked by the Oregon-Colorado game. Oregon is so young and Colorado is tough in Boulder.
USC made a big mistake--they pissed Plum and the Huskies off. She didn't even score the first 7 minutes of the game, now has 27 just before halftime on 9-12 shooting. UW has outscored USC 32-9 in the 2nd quarter, Trojans shooting FTs w/ time expired in the half. UW up 54-35.
