To you, not me. I've seen the B1G as overrated all year.

Wright State up 14 points with 3 minutes left in 1st half 33-19. over 4th seed Arkansas.

Rutgers loses to BYU

You are stretching it a bit to call this an upset. I saw BYU lose to Gonzaga in their conference championship, and they are not great. Nor is Rutgers. But an 11 beating a 6 is meaningful, I agree.

The potential for a real upset was to see Drexel 25-25 with Georgia at the half. But I knew it would not last, and it didn't. Also Stephen F. Austin had a 48-42 lead on Georgia Tech in the 4th quarter, but decided not to score any more . ( i know, they got a few points. But they basically went ice cold ) and lost in OT ).

I am with you on wanting to see some upsets, as indicators of how far the women's game has come. On the men's side, for example, a 15 ( Oral Roberts ) has beaten a 2 seed ( Ohio State ), and now advanced to the sweet 16, after beating Florida. No such action is going to happen in the women's draw. Not yet. Some of these lower seeded teams have an excellent player, or two. But rarely seven eight, as the top teams have. But there is progress.

WS playing great defense. Arkansas banging and pushing as usual. Refs are helping the Hogs stay in the game. 17 of their 49 points are FTs. WS up in 4th but in foul trouble all around.

 

[Ralph]

is this like our game, Arkansas pushing off and then they get awarded free throws. I am not watching, at work, so I don't know. You would think at some point after calling so many fouls the refs would be embarrassed. When you talk about the refs, it means the refs became the game, and that is not good for them. Looks like lead now down to 1 for WS.

 

[Zinethar]

Wright State is getting sucked into some of those fouls but Arkansas is professional on how to sell something as being a foul. 2 point game with 2 minutes left and WS in in serious foul trouble.

 

[Littlemin]

Wright State - Arkansas game is an embarrassment to say the least. I HATE to comment on refs but they are not worthy to ref at a CYO level.

 

[Littlemin]

Justice is served!!

 

[Bama fan]

Arkansas goes down. All eight starters could not pull it off!

 

[Zinethar]

Wright State wins. Suddenly in the last 2 minutes the Refs seemed to call things correctly and were not sucked into the fake fouls that Arkansas kept trying to get called.

 

[Ralph]

I am pulling for all the underdog non P5 conferences. Take em down a notch. Good for the game.

 

[Urshurak]

Wow. Arkansas out..........amazing.

 

[Husky fanatic]

And now there are two

 

[ed4ourgirls]

Do you think Arkansas would trade their win over UConn for another shot at Wright St.?

Maybe not.

Game over Wright State 66 Arkansas 62

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

I thought Wright State vs Arkansas was an UGLY game. Yes, Ark "drew fouls" from Wright State and shot a lot of FTs... but more often than not, they were on out of control drives to the basket where they were almost falling down, fore arm push offs of their defender, and so on. Ark shooting percentage was terrible. The game was a mess...hard to watch. But it's always fun to see an upset. ?

 

[Ozimoto]

I think they would. Dungee did her part but Ramirez and Slocum did not.

 

[ME Husky Fan]

One of those you live by the 3 pointer you eventually die by it. Slocum, Dungee and Ramirez all cold from outside, Six assists?? Lot of dribbling around, no real team basketball here. Maybe their consolation prize is they beat us?

 

[SLY63]

I can't believe that the same Arkansas team that shot the lights out against us, just got Ko'ed

Do they have a banner?

If the Arkansas seniors get another year next year, they may be older than a couple WNBA teams.

Dribble drive- pitch, dribble-drive pitch. It's not a real offense. You are not running plays or a motion to get easy shots. If the drive is stopped, the shots are challenged, and/or the shots aren't falling, you lose. Ask most high school teams in America. It's a high school offense. (it burned us though. love to play them now)
