Game Thread - #8 NC State at #1 South Carolina

[eebmg]

Andy Landers butchering the names of at least 3 uconn players in less than a minute. Par for the course.

That's ok. I think most people call him Ann Landers.

I love that we have an All-American at center... but holy crap can Cooke and Henderson look for their outside shot please.. You have to keep them honest out there. If Boston is getting triple teamed on the block why are we still trying to go inside? I don't understand that.

 

[Charliebball]

that's some of the worst offense I've seen in a long time..............If South Carolina played that way against a typical UConn team they'd be down double digits......

Baylor will not need to shoot from the outside to beat Arkansas. They aren’t stopping Baylor’s post players inside nor will they come close to winning most of the rebounds

I hope so I’m just worried about NaLyssa Smith to be honest. She’s shot the ball so bad the first two games. My problem with smith is that she takes the first shot when she gets the first touch. She needs to be smarter and assess what the defenses are doing. She also tries to do too much and play hero ball. She’s an amazing athlete and the most talented scorer we have on the team but you got to be smarter. She’s shooting 22 percent from the field and 0 percent from threes. The only positive is that she’s getting to the free throw line and shooting 89 percent from the free throw line. I hope she starts finishing her shots and that she learns how to pass the ball when she gets double team. I really hope she can handle being the go-to player for us. If not, run all the plays for Egbo. Egbo saved us against USF

They are dribble drive first. Right into the teeth of the defense.

I put that game on for my roommates, and I have to say wow. I already get a hard time for watching WBB. This game flat out sucks so far

Baylor fans feel your pain. I sometimes scream when Kalani brown or Cox would get triple team and we would force the ball inside and sometimes it’ll get turned over.

This is a pathetic game

This is a pathetic game

Just save another one of these games for Jan 28th.

Driving into the defense. Clank. Running up court furious because you just missed.

 

[eebmg]

Guessing Louisville / Depaul will score more in Q1.

 

[MooreMayaNY]

South Carolina is overrated. Dawn never has a pure shooter on her teams even after all these years

 

[LETTERL]

4:19 left 3rd quarter...NC State up 32-31 and to the line for FT when play resumes.

Much better flow this quarter...but NC State still missing a lot of chippies they're going to wish they had back.

 

[DeeHusky]

Somebody get the poster that said Destanni Henderson is capable of being NPOY on here. Let’s talk

 

[MooreMayaNY]

Cunane reminds me of Rebecca Lobo when she was at UConn

 

[triaddukefan]

#15 for SC is a straight bully inside

 

[Baylor1994]

If South Carolina loses tonight, this season is wide open!

 

[Baylor1994]

Will anybody get to 50 points?

 

[LETTERL]

End of 3...NC State holding a 36-33 lead. Both teams have combined to go 2 of 19 from THREE. NC State now has two players in double figures: Kayla Jones with 12 and Elissa Cunane with 10 points.

Jones is the only Wolfpack player in foul trouble with 3.

 

[DeeHusky]

I think Miss St can definitely beat South Carolina and win the SEC championship

 

[Rb335]

I’m thinking the leadership and experience of Harris and Harrigan is sorely missed in South Carolina.

 

[Kaizen]

Somebody get the poster that said Destanni Henderson is capable of being NPOY on here. Let’s talk

She is 1-8 and Boston 2-10 ..

 

[Hayven]

These are top 10 teams?!
The UConn - ND regular season match ups spoiled us with how beautiful a game can be played.

I can’t believe this is Dawn’s defending “regular season NCAA champs”?!

 

[MooreMayaNY]

I can’t believe this is Dawn’s defending “regular season NCAA champs”?!

LMAOOOO she really does believe they are the champs too that’s what’s wears me thin

 

[Baylor1994]

Me too! Baylor is still the defending champs! But this year is wide open.
