Friday conference tournament games

WOW. Florida State and Miami STRUGGLED to get to 56 and 54 today.

I guess offense isn't just an SEC "problem" ...:eek:.....
 
It is astonishing to me the lack of talent on Cincinnati's roster 7 years into Jamelle Elliot's tenure. They just look slow everywhere. Don't like the way they play.

Sad to say Jamelle is probably not the answer for Cincinnati.
 
Maryland over Minnesota 92-80. Looks like the score was close each quarter. Not particularly impressive for the Terps against a team that was 15-15 entering the game (and 5-11 in the Big 10).

Rizzotti's GW squad suffers a tough loss to Duquesne in the A-10 quarterfinal, 62-58.

They have a chance at an at-large bid, but it's iffy.

GW did not play well down the stretch giving up a 7pt lead in the 4th quarter to 7th seed Duquense. Got hosed with a last minute 5 second violation when clear time out was called but GW did not deserve it. Oh well.
 
Duke-Syracuse is a very entertaining game so far.

In some ways it's a textbook performance by Syracuse, creating turnovers with defensive pressure to generate extra possessions and jack up high-volume 3s. Duke had 8 turnovers in just the 1st quarter, and Syracuse was 5 of 20 from the field, but 3 of 8 from 3. Duke was 6 of 12 but 3 of 3 from 3, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Lexie Brown.

And when MD played MN in the regular season, it was a one-point game with 6:00 to play in 4Q before MD pulled away.

Everyone keeps saying that Maryland passes their "eye test," but they're basing their eye test on just the last quarter of the UConn game and their track-meet romps over the dregs of D-I.

Did they apply their eye test when Maryland beat Penn State by only 6 and Rutgers by only 11? What about when they were tied with Washington State in the 4th quarter? And what about when they got dominated by Ohio State?

Stanford opened the game on a 21-0 run before Washington St. finally got on the board. Cardinal leading 23-5 w/ 2 minutes left in the 1st quarter. Ouch.

edited--Karlie has splashed a pair of 3's. After the second one the announcer commented you never leave a Samuelson open. Doesn't matter what her first name is or what jersey she has on.

26-8 Stanford after 1 quarter. McPhee leading the way w/ 9. Stanford shooting 57.9% from the floor to WSU's 18.8%. Card w/ 4 three's to none for the Cougs.
 
Stanford struggled most of the 2nd quarter but got it going again right before halftime. Karlie nails a 3 at the buzzer, up 39-19 at the break. She's the leading scorer w/ 15 points, 5-9 FG and 4-7 behind the arc.


edited--Stanford has 6 different players w/ at least 1 blocked shot. That's a weird stat.
 
Texas A&M up 14 over Missouri w/ under a minute left in the game. Duke is running away from Syracuse w/ just a few ticks of the clock left.
 
Duke really defeats Syracuse by more than 20 with a second half outburst.
The Orange couldn't hit the side of a barn and Duke played a smart deliberate game
finding the open man (which was usually Lexi Brown)..

As I've said before, I am a great believer in redemption...
Joanne P seemingly showed some ability prior to her run at Duke
but the last couple of seasons has been a disaster of bad losses, finger pointing and not taking responsibility.
It took a near firing to straighten her out.

This evening her team was by far the more disciplined and well-coached...that''s right
I said: well coached.

Good on her.

So the semifinal matchups tomorrow:

Notre Dame vs. Louisville
Duke vs. Miami

South Carolina vs. Kentucky
Mississippi St vs. Texas A&M

Ohio State vs. Purdue
Maryland vs. Michigan St (currently leading Michigan by 16 in 4Q)

Oregon St vs. UCLA
Stanford (currently up by 24 on WSU) vs. winner of Washington/Oregon
 
.-.
Those ACC and Pac 12 semi-finals look like really interesting matchups.

Stanford up 54-30 after 3 quarters. Karlie w/ 21 pts and 6-10 behind the arc. How does WSU keep losing her and let her get looks from deep?
 
66-36 Stanford final. WSU 0-16 behind the arc Stanford 9-21.

They would probably be one of the most dangerous teams in the tournament if they still had Stevens.

I have an awfully important announcement.;)
Orange Mountain Designs (The Lady Vols Store at Knoxville, TN) had arranged a book signing event at Carolina Ale House in Greenville, SC on Saturday.
The author Maria M. Cornelius would have autographed copies of "The Final Season".
The event has been cancelled.
Blame the Lady Vols for looking past Alabama to the book signing event this weekend.

Boo-Hoo.:D
 
Oregon-Washington are tied up 15-15 in Q1.

I'd forgotten that both Ionescu and Cazorla didn't play when these teams met way back on Dec. 30.
 
.-.
Wow, Oregon really came to play, up 22-17 after Q1. Big hometown crowd turned out and the energy in the building is popping.

Ionescu already has 9 points on three 3-pointers. Hebard has 6.

Plum has 7 and all Washington starters have scored.

The people want a meme!

It was really a great win. Duke weathered the early turnover storm and got Syracuse to falter in the 2nd half. They never let Peterson get comfortable on offense.
 
If your awake on east coast and get the PAC-12 Network the Oregon/Washington game is fantastic!!

Oregon up in the second quarter 28-26!!!
 
I really am loving the Pac-12 Network. Thank God for my Sling TV :p

Mary Murphy just might be my favorite color analyst right now. She adds so much value to the game.

Plum was on a roll until she missed her last 4 shots I think. Has 15 at the half. Another night where the rest of the Huskies aren't doing enough. McDonald scored 5 just before the half, before that Plum was pretty much on her own in the 2nd quarter. Osahor has 14 rebounds already but only 2 points.

Oregon is playing well. Offensive rebounding has been the key for them. 8 O boards and I think at least 12 points off of those.

Her last 5 shots, if the play-by-play is correct. But she is still 7 of 14 so far.

Both teams were hot in 1Q but cooled off in 2Q.
 
You poor East Coasters, you should be watching this game. Blistering pace to the 3rd quarter. UW goes on a run, up 46-41, forces UO to call a TO. Plum heating up, now has 23, some of her teammates helping out a bit. Osahor w/ 16 rebounds. Still more than 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter.

Plum with an 8-point burst and then gets the assist from a seated position to Romeo for a 3. That puts U-Dub up by 5 and forces Graves to call TO.

This game is freakin' awesome.
 
UW up 48-41 at the media TO. Can Oregon respond? Hebard w/ another O board and will be shooting FTs when action resumes. Plum now w/ 25 on 11-19 FG.
 
This is such a great game. Too bad this isn't the final!!!
