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.

On the brighter side.... I have a new favorite ACC assistant coach
NC State at Duke next year... I'll be there 
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.
