Four Top 20 Teams Will Lose TONIGHT...

[BostonCanuck]

Texas certainly raised eyebrows last night. They played great. The fact that they hung on to close out the game, after Baylor tied it late in the forth on their home court, was a real confidence-building achievement that will make this a dangerous team come tournament time.

But mostly I am relieved that the Lady Bears are maybe not quite as good I thought they were. For most of the season, this is the one and only team I thought might have a chance to intimidate and/or even beat our women in Dallas. Now I feel like any possible fear factor is firmly off the table, and the likelihood of them pulling off a win against us somewhat diminished.

Of course, the way Texas and Note Dame played last night, the threat from other teams I had previously discounted seems to be rising.

Congrats Kmoney. You appear to be the only one that picked all four winners.

This expresses my thoughts in every respect.

Texas was really good last night. I saw this coming after watching Baylor's last two games as they had come out flat in both games. And I knew that without Mompremier available to guard Holmes that Texas was ripe for the win.

But give kudos to Texas. They earned this victory and they are a much better team than what UCONN faced. Atkins scored 20 points and didn't she miss much of the game against UCONN?

I guess your lucky Duke wasn't playing a lesser ranked opponent tonight. They may have picked you for the upset.

Damn, I didn't realize my computer has that keyboard virus again. That's a pesky bugger!

NOT! Sorry.

Hey Java, I did jump the gun before I saw any official results posted. I am guilty of that. BUT.....................I Covered my A** by including the word "APPEAR" in my comment which is not conclusive. I posted that comment from my iphone. I was texting in duress. That, and my turban kept falling down over my eyes obscuring my vision, and this was done in a dimly lit room. For me, the Boneyard is not as easy to navigate on a cell phone as it is on my desktop. I stand corrected, Thank you.

Correct, correct, and correct (except for maybe the turban part ).

I was fully aware of your CYA, I definitely noticed it. But ...I had to clear it up for @Kmoney and the rest of the Boneyard, so I had to post something, and I figured you could and would shoulder the needling.

However, to explain even further, when I did my final check to complete the spreadsheet, I saw @Kmoney's post, but I did not included it in the spreadsheet because it was outside the time-frame allotted. Since it was not on the spreadsheet, I was completely unaware that he had picked the 4 winners until I saw your post congratulating him. I didn't' think to go back and check his picks, and btw, he was the only one that was outside the time parameters. My bad! Oh well, live and learn. But at least now I know who to check with in the future to find out who will be winning and who will be loosing.

Thanks, I was at my granddaughter's JV basketball game when I wrote that post. The games started at the same time. 7pm games in Ct is 4 pm here on the west coast, so they were going simultaneously. I could not remember what scores I predicted, but I knew I was close. I wasn't aware that ol' rascal Kmoney tried to slip in under the wire on us. Glad you caught it. With my claim to fame, I should be posting the exact score every game. My ouija board has been taken over by evil spirits, my crystal ball needs to be re calibrated, I can't find my rabbit's foot, and all of my trusty tea leaves have dried up. I've got nothing. I'm winging it.

So when all is said and done, you're in the same boat as the rest of us ...except for @Kmoney of course. But, you do have that outfit, that robe, that turban, and that my wise friend ...foretells of your Nostradamian proclivities. Wing away!

Well ...did she take any plays off, ...did she/they win?

No, she did not take any plays off. She can't, her father is the ass't coach. He'd sit her down if she tried. Did they win? Yes! Her team won by 52, 65-13. Like UConn, her JV team is also undefeated this season. Only 2 teams have broken 30 on them.
In league play, no team has scored more than 16 points. They like to run a full court press the first two quarters. Most teams are glad just to get the ball pass half court, let alone score. Usually the shot clock is running down, and they're forced to take bad shots. This particular high school is known for its boys & girls basketball teams.

Our varsity girl's are ranked in the top 10 in the country. Last game tomorrow against a weak team that our freshman team beat the first time around. They do not have a freshman team, so the coaches gave our freshman team a go at them. Our girls won by 2. The season (18 games) went by really really fast. My wife and I loved every minute of it. We only missed one game.

OUTSTANDING! Great story. And certainly appreciated in these parts.
