Fri (1/11) games (Big East and Pac-12)

[DefenseBB]

OSU up 59-52 after Q3.

I don’t mean to be the 3rd wheel in yours and @Plebe party but here I am late to the game (literally) give me the full updates!

Minyon Moore is out for USC w/ concussion protocol. 26-9 in Q2, this one looks like a laugher.

welp... i was gonna watch some of that game. Seems like there is no need for me to watch now.

Feel free to join us. This one isn't airing in my area. It's gonna be replayed later. Oregon-USC is pretty boring, that's what I've got. That or UW-Colorado, but I'm recording that and will watch later. Most of this thread I'm just score board watching on ESPN.

72-68 Utah final. Huge come back by WSU falls short.

 

[nwhoopfan]

70-61 OSU 4:47 left.

 

[DefenseBB]

I am happy for Arizona as they have really surprised me and others this year. I am not surprised by Cal’s Struggles as while I think Lindsey is very likable she just isn’t a great coach either in recruiting or actual coaching especially in this conference. I predict 7th for this team...

 

[nwhoopfan]

UW gets their first conference win 68-58. One more and they eclipse last year's total.

edited--looks like they finally got a bit of that balanced scoring I've been begging for--15 for Melgoza, 11 for Peterson, 10 for Watkins, 9 for Van Dyke and 2 more players w/ 8.

 

[nwhoopfan]

41-18 UO at halftime. Ionescu has a quiet 15, 14 for Sabally.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Beavs up 75-65 w/ about 3 minutes left.

 

[DefenseBB]

Oh yeah..... Elon pulled out the victory 76-68. While the players werent as talented as Im used to watching on TV or in person.... it was an entertaining night..... good to be able to go to a game... an watch... without being nervous or caring who won or lost. The new Elon Arena is First Class all the way..... has to be one of the best mid-major arenas in the country. It probably would be in the top 3rd of venues in the ACC as well. The official attendance was 461 in an arena that seats 5,100. It was a spirited bunch though.

I am Hopeful you can get behind SOME school in NC that shows some promise as I know it won’t be UNCheat...

 

[nwhoopfan]

OSU up 83-70 in the closing seconds. 4-9 behind the arc. If you would've told me that before the game, I wouldn't think they had a chance of winning.

edited--22 and 21 for Slocum and Pivek, 13 for Corosdale, a big 12 off the bench for Grymek

24 for Onyenwere, 18 apiece for Drummer and Burke, 11 for Corsaro

The attendance at the Galen Center tonight is truly pathetic. I've seen coffee shops with more people in them.

 

[LoTrader]

Oregon State without Kat Tudor, played a fine game. Destiny Slocum is terrific. Best point guard I've seen this year. I really thought UCLA could win this game, but it seemed like Oregon State was determined (and confident) not to let this game get away. Very proud of OSU tonight. Growing up tonight.

One comment about the referees tonight. It didn't matter which team, but every single time someone shot the ball in the key, and it was contested, the whistle blew. Drove me crazy. Not every shot in the key contested is a foul. These refs need to swallow their whistle and let these kids play.

 

[DefenseBB]

I thought ASU played well against Stanford tonight even if they were at home.
My prediction at this early point of the conference season is Stanford, Oregon, OSU, ASU, Utah, AZ, UCLA, Cal, USC, UW, WSU and Col

 

[ochoopsfan]

Did I see Aquino in uniform for the Beavers? Perhaps because she was in LA?

 

[nwhoopfan]

My prediction at this early point of the conference season is

My prediction...still too early. I think it could be a bit topsy turvy before the end.

 

[ochoopsfan]

The attendance at the Galen Center tonight is truly pathetic. I've seen coffee shops with more people in them.

For 4 years I went to every game at Galen center to watch a local player that I am very close to her family. I could say I knew about 80% of the people there and all of the security guards and some of the band. Nobody goes to USC games. IMO, it isnt the neighborhood either that is the problem. Not sure why they get no support. Any sizable crowd is due to the road team having family and friends show up.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Kobe Bryant now being interviewed during the OU v USC game. Should we wake up Lou?

My prediction at this early point of the conference season is Stanford, Oregon, OSU, ASU, Utah, AZ, UCLA, Cal, USC, UW, WSU and Col

Not bad. I really am seeing 3 distinct tiers so far:
Top tier: Oregon, Stanford, Oregon St
Middle tier: Utah, ASU, Arizona, UCLA, Cal
Bottom tier: Colorado, WSU, UW, USC

The middle tier is really muddled. I could see the Pac-12 getting anywhere from 5 to 8 teams in the NCAA tournament.

Really? It’s a discussion not a monetary bet...I must say, I am a bit disappointed

I learn towards 7/8 teams making it. Heck, for my next job, I may ask @EricLA, @LoTrader or @NWHoopFan2 for a reference to get a position in the Pacific time zone!

There are 17 schools in NC that play Division I basketball. I root for 16 of them to do well.

Merely questioning my own ability to predict accurately.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I got bored w/ UO-USC so I quit watching. Looks like the Ducks kept the pedal down. While almost everybody has been locked in close battles that go down to the wire, UO has back to back 40 point beat downs.

DePaul squeaks by Georgetown 69-64

Was down 36-23 at half.
