Of interest for UConn fans, if USF wins over Tulane, they will play Houston tomorrow. USF split the 2 games this season, loosing at Houston by 2 and beating Houston at home by 10. USF is not a good matchup for Houston.
 
Here at the coliseum for the morning game. Should be a good one. I'll make no predictions :oops:

ACC hospitality in full force this morning. A fsu fan sitting beside me offered me a scone. Guess she felt bad for what happened last night. :oops:
 
Elementary school day for this game. Thousands of youngsters hyped up on chocolate milk and Donuts.. It's gonna be loud in here. Should have brought some ear plugs.

I guess the implication is that we should have a bigger concern about USF than Houston in the Semi's because of our recent game. Assuming Lou is back, none of the AAC teams is an issue and without Lou, all the better AAC teams can give us problems.

Elementary school? I've always thought you were older than that. ;)

BTW, what's wrong with donuts?

I'm hoping for SMU today. I like their coach, plus I don't want to play ECU. They are inappropriately physical.

Travis Mays is a class guy and a great coach, and I've been rooting for him ever since he took the SMU job.
And there's also the fact that Swin's cousin plays for them.

Important question: How close to LaChina are you sitting?

They had the elementary school kids at yesterday's early session of the Pac-12 tournament as well. Luckily I was on the opposite side of the arena :)

Foregone conclusion. We can win but it will be easier with Lou in the line-up.

My point is that Houston is a very physical team and USF is not.
 
This Cuse/Miami game has a really fun pace so far. Mompremier missing lots of bunnies though.
 
Really exciting pace to the Miami-Syracuse game, which is the only game today between projected host teams.

Hof and Mompremier get all the attention for Miami, but I think the key for this game will be the play of Miami's guards (Cornelius and Gray) against that pressure. Mykea Gray so far has 6 points.

Not close enough :cool:

On a related note, today is the last day of Raycom broadcasting the ACC women's tournament... As the ACC network takes over next season.
 
Cuse heating up from 3. Their last 5 buckets have been 3's, and they just hit 3 in a row to force a Miami timeout.

I gotta hand it to Coach Q, he really has developed a unique style that, when it's on, is really a handful.
 
I know Monpremier is listed as 6'4 but she looks taller in person. She's looks like a giant out there

When Miami beat Syracuse in the regular season, Syracuse shot 5-32 from 3. Doing a little bit better in that department today...
 
Tennessee shooting out of their minds from 3

doubt it lasts though
 
Whelp! Tenn beating MSU 23-17 after 1st period??? I am telling ya, watch out for the Lady Vols, Give poor Holly an extension! :cool:
 
Miami closed on a 9-1 run to get within 5 of Syracuse. The Orange had led by as many as 16.
 
Btw, GaTech has said it will decline a WNIT bid. One more open spot for (.500) Duke & Ohio St !

I tell ya, Mississippi State is doing their darndest to make me not like them :mad:

But I'm still torn. If making the tournament will save Holly's job, maybe a close game here is best for humanity.
 
For some odd reason, this crowd is definitely pro Miami
 
Rennia is a 6’2” guard being defended by 5’8” guards yet she won’t post them up. Just stands around on the perimeter.

Bringing politics into play: 4 More years! 4 more years! Come on Phil, 4 more years! :D
 
It just occurred to me. This Syracuse-Miami game could have major implications for UConn's bracket. If Syracuse beats Miami, look for the committee to make Syracuse the #4 in Albany.
 
Hey! Speaking of MSU Blair Schaefer is announcing the AAC tournament game Tulane/USF and she's actually pretty good. Kudo's Blair!!!!

Side note- @Plebe has awoken MSU by his threat of not liking them. They are putting whooping on TN in the 2nd 21-9 leading 38-32
