She'll probably give her vote to Florida State now.

Or maybe NC State because I believe she is originally from Cary, a Raleigh "suburb" :):rolleyes:

If Gillespie has a big game against Virginia, she may be in line for an ESPNW player of the week award.

Think he meant that big road victory over that red hot Pitt squad

Yeah I suppose Pitt is in the top 10 among teams with a losing record in the ACC
 
Jeff's pressers remind me of MM's pressers, complimentary of the other team, giving credit to the other coach for mixing up the defense, supporting his players and having some fun with them about their scoring, not blaming a loss on a missing player, mentioning how good an upcoming opponent is, despite that not being true and then thanking the press before he leaves... :rolleyes:

@Crazyhorse I want to say this game show heart by your team that every time Louisville made a rally, the fought back and made clutch shots, especially Kiah. Get this effort every time out of them and you will go far-Sweet 16 and possible Elite8! Get the fans in the stands!

Now, unfortunately I had drive back from Baltimore to Connecticut tonight so while I had the iPad on with the game, I couldn't watch it, only listen to it and I am lucky I just didn't drive off the Tydings bridge to end the pain of listening to Deb "I love Louisville, have a crush on Jeff, want to point out how to take advantage of Kiah, completely ignoring the announcer mantra of no favorites" Antonelli. OMG, could she just put on the Louisville Sweater and sing their fight song??? Sooooo GLAD they lost...:D

Have to hand it to the Nole women....beating a #5 team on the road...

But...like some teams, the Noles run hot and cold...

They can lose games they shouldn't and win games that they shouldn't....

I don't think that I have ever watched a game where Deb was objective and didn't openly have a "favorite". That is why I have started to enjoy watching other conference/network games...even though they may be a BTN Network, SECN, or Big 12 Conference game analyst, most times they seem to remain objective about the 2 teams playing.
And because of Deb, it made me enjoy watching the game last night, especially when the Cardinals made a comeback to tie the game at 42, and getting Deb really excited, only to watch FSU go back up by double digits to put the game away.

Just like Louisville. Luckily for FSU, their tap was running hot while Louisville’s was running cold.

The FSU men also went into Louisville and beat the current AP # 5 Cards by 13....

Must be the air in Louisville.

Just love Jeff's up beat attitude during the press conference...never did he throw his team under the bus nor did he speak badly toward Florida State..one classy guy.

I have no idea but let's just say she's not breaking any records with her work ethic. She loves to jog slowly.

But she plays well. Sometimes the final result should be looked at, the reality and not the ideals. Maybe she had some traits Geno did not like but that did not stop her from becoming the player she has been this season. UConn could have used a player of her caliber this season.

Didn't see the Louisville-Oregon game....but I saw that the Cards outscored the Ducks in 3 of the 4 periods....

It was early...so I suppose that Oregon has gotten better with play.

What may be a factor, it was a holiday tournament played at the Virgin Islands in the equivalent of a high school gym. Stuff like that may throw the better team off. I believe SC also got knocked off at a holiday tournament.

Soooo...it is the unfamiliar gym that loses games...not the early play?

And the gym affects Oregon more than Louisville?
 
Maybe....Oregon's three pointers were off...but that could be that the Oregon shooters were being defended...

Oregon hit a higher percentage of free throws on that court than at UConn...did not affect that shot.

My thought is that Oregon's coordination of offense improved with play....as players got a feeling about how their team mates played...Minyon was an experienced guard...but was playing one of her first games with the Duck's team. Her stats, however, do not look any different than at UConn.

I watched the Louisville-Oregon game on FloHoops. My general thinking is that after four days of fun in the sun the Ducks just weren’t in the mood to grind it out. I think they felt going all “flash and dash” would do the job and thus the 35 (35!) 3 point shots. Atypical for a Graves team. 6-35 from the 3 line is worse than just bad...
So glad for both those losses (Louisville and ASU) in the end.
Certainly focuses the mind. Not sure they would be playing as well now without those wake up calls. "The biggest lesson we took from that game (ASU) was definitely being aggressive, and that we were constantly the hunted one," Sabally said. "And that we're a beatable team; we're not unbeatable. We have to give our all and cannot be satisfied with people just talking about us."
