Friday (3/22) games: NCAA 1st round

[SECbbfan24]

Mercer missing a lot of open looks around the free throw line

 

[DaBball]

Yeah a few rimmed in and then out for Mercer. Iowa looks vastly overranked.

 

[LETTERL]

Great crowd!

 

[LETTERL]

Rice pulling away from Marquette

 

[SECbbfan24]

Every 50/50 has fallen Iowas way in these last couple minutes

 

[LETTERL]

Iowa survives. Gutsy effort by Mercer.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Rice melting down in nuclear fashion.

 

[DaBball]

Yeah this would be a tough one for Rice to lose.

 

[LETTERL]

Mulkey is so much taller than everyone else...I don't understand why she doesn't get the ball on every possession.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Rice just got jobbed by the clock operator - should have had a full extra second to get off a game winner there. Someone needs to lose their job, this is simple stuff on the big stage.

 

[DaBball]

Ouch for Rice. Nance couldnt buy a shot at the end.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Mulkey is so much taller than everyone else...I don't understand why she doesn't get the ball on every possession.

She sure is tall but not a great basketball player. Too awkward. I've seen her miss some shots you'd think would be easier to make since her release point is so close to the rim.

What a funky yet entertaining game in College Station. I pretty much gave Marquette up for dead when they went down by 9 with less than 3:00 to play. But then Marquette went on a 9-0 run to get the game to OT.

Mulley’s penchant for settling for jump shots really cost Rice in the end. Van Kleunen of Marquette did a good job down the stretch letting her miss and then gathering all the misses. It was amazing to see Marquette shoot the ball so miserably (4-23 from 3) and somehow still find a way to win.

Chiney Ogwumike was in the 6th row rooting hard for her sister and yelling at the refs.

Need some one to scout Rutgers / Buffalo.

Need some one to scout Rutgers / Buffalo.

Ha... im watching the TN men play... and I saw the Buffalo score up at the top of the screen...... then realized that the Buffalo men are playing at the same time.

 

[triaddukefan]

This TN-Colgate game is a good one..... I cant garner dislike for the TN men like I can for the women.

 

[LETTERL]

My anger at ESPN just festers. ESPN is showing NFL Live...ESPN2 is showing the basketball tournament. Why couldn't ESPN also broadcast the bastketball tournament?

FSU leads Bucknell, 32-30 at the half.

Missouri leads Drake, 31-28, 2:25 left 2nd quarter.

Buffalo leading Rutgers, 29-23.

 

[Plebe]

A&M scores 31 in 1Q. This isn’t your granddaddy’s Texas A&M team.

Carter has 14 and Wells has 9.

 

[Orangutan]

C'mon Bucknell! I'm the only person who picked you as a 12-5 upset in that poll in the other thread. I can look so smart!

where is the support for your fellow ACC members.?

 

[MSUFan2003]

I picked this Drake team to win. They have been holding their own. Not sure it lasts, but it's been an interesting game.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Drake has been impressive

 

[LETTERL]

FSU survives.

 

[LETTERL]

This has been an excellent first afternoon of the tournament. Lots of close games.

 

[UCBaller2012]

This has been an excellent first afternoon of the tournament. Lots of close games.

Never expected it to be more compelling than the men’s games thus far

 

[hoopsfan22]

Drake missing a couple easy buckets down the stretch. Could have put this one away already.

 

[UCBaller2012]

Wow mizzou player got hacked and no call

 

[hoopsfan22]

wow 3 point shooting contest has broken out in OT

 

[wbball novice]

Buffalo leading Rutgers by 5, less than a minute to go.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Wow what an ending, fouled with 1/2 second left in OT just needs to make one and it's over.
