Friday (3/8) games

Man...Janelle Bailey is really focused today. This is the best I've seen her play (haven't seen a lot of UNC games, tho). If she can learn to keep her emotions in check, she is going be out of this world by the time she's a senior.
 
ASU actually has more O boards than UCLA at this point (9-4 wow!), but the Bruins are shooting the ball well enough they don't need 2nd chance points. Neither team has hit a 3 yet.

ACC quarterfinals
Miami (4) vs. Syracuse (5) (11am ET)
Notre Dame (1) vs. North Carolina (8) (2pm). Will Janelle Bailey be back from suspension?
Louisville (2) vs. Clemson (7) (6pm)
NC State (3) vs. Florida St (6) (8pm)

SEC quarterfinals
Mississippi St (1) vs. Tennessee (8) (12pm ET).
Kentucky (4) vs. Missouri (5) (2pm)
South Carolina (2) vs. Arkansas (10) (6pm)
Texas A&M (3) vs. Auburn (6) (8pm). How will the Aggies play without Chennedy Carter?

Plebe - I’d like to thank you for putting up this thread each day. It’s very helpful.
 
UCLA was up as much as 15. ASU got it down to 9. Earlier UCLA had a big advantage in FTA, but it's turned 180 degrees in that regard. Only thing keep ASU from getting blown out. They just got a questionable foul call w/ less than a second left in the half, 3rd foul on Drummer.

I like to think I'm neutral on this game. It seemed pretty clear to me UCLA was getting the benefit of the whistle to start, and then it flip flopped. I really wish refs would just call games straight up.

UCLA up 41-31 at half.

Another WNIT bid opens up!
Looks like PAC will have USC, Arizona, and possibly Cal.

I can’t see Cal getting left out at this point; but perhaps they’re just shy of a lock.
 
Notre Dame up now 21 with 4:49 left. Sort of surprised the Irish are keeping their starters in and risk a major injury. Stranger things have happened.
 
Time to warm up the bus tar heels.. Time for yall to beat the traffic on interstate 40 east :cool:

The whistles tend to favor the team that can drive aggressively or get the ball inside or offensive rebound. That was UCLA for most of the first half. ASU was able to get some fouls driving late in 2Q. Sometimes the shifting action of the game dictates how the whistles also shift. I’m also very neutral about this game btw. I like both of these teams even as I recognize their limitations :)

You know you’re having a good day on offense when you score 41 in a half on ASU.

Without hitting a 3 and without your usual bread and butter, hitting the O boards.

UK vs Mizzou, hope Mizzou win because I want to beat them badly!

Me too. They have been a hard team for us to beat for a few years now. I don't know why, but we just have problems with them.

Well this is getting interesting. UCLA went up 14 to start Q3, but ASU has it down to 6 now. I'm fairly stunned at the difference in O boards. UCLA is relentless, I've never seen anybody stop them from grabbing O boards in games I've watched. ASU has a big edge 11-4. Certainly part of that is the difference in FG%--53% for UCLA to 39% for ASU. But still.


edit--ASU finally hits the first 3 of the game, lead is down to 3.
 
Nicole Kornet just won a “PAC 12 prize package” in some game against a poor ASU fan during the timeout. Wasn’t there some story about how she was ruled ineligible for a prize after she won some contest at UCLA earlier this year?
 
I believe that Dee Kantner was "working" in Greensboro yesterday (ACC) and is in Greenville today (SEC), so I guess that she will be able to make it to Uncasville by Monday night.

Yeah and I see she's not working too hard. Saving the lung power for running and not blowing the whistle :rolleyes:

Onyenwere just picked up her 4th foul. Major development in this game.

And now Ibis with her 4th. Coaches gambled (it’s Vegas after all) and got burned.
 
ASU went on a 13-0 run to get within 1. Mostly trading buckets now but it feels like UCLA is barely clinging to the lead. ASU was struggling shooting most of the game but all of a sudden they can't miss. Hit 7 straight FG at one point.
 
57-56 UCLA at the end of Q3. This is quite a game. The other 3 games today in Vegas will have a hard time matching this one.


edit--71% shooting for ASU in Q3!
 
Am I seeing this right on my phone? Two overtime games? Michigan-Wisconsin and Missouri-Kentucky?
 
.-.
ASU has gotten TO prone in Q4 and UCLA is back up 7.
 
UCLA stretched the lead to 9, but ASU roared back to get it to 3. UCLA ball 50 seconds left.
