Games Feb. 3-9

[nwhoopfan]

A team from Seattle won a game! It just wasn't the Huskies. Seattle U. w/ a thrilling 82-80 overtime win over Utah Valley. The WAC is one of the worst conferences in the country, but at 4-5 in league and 10-12 overall the Redhawks are well clear of being in the conversation for worst teams in the country (conference mate Chicago St. at 1-9 and 1-22 clearly is very much in the running for that distinction).

Sorry @triaddukefan but those Duke uniforms were horrendous, but so were UNC's. They looked like practice jerseys. Ugly. Are you thanking your lucky stars the Heels couldn't hit a FT to save their life? They should've won by double digits in regulation. But enjoy celebrating your win over the worst Carolina team in more than a decade.

I looked at Fresno St.'s schedule, definitely not an at large worthy resume. 20-4 overall, 13-0 in conference. No notable wins, 3 losses to WCC teams (none of which were Gonzaga). Wasn't quite sure, but definitely a 1 bid league.

This team sheet tells the story. When you see only red squares in the left two columns, and the schedule so heavily weighted toward the right two columns, that means no chance at an at-large bid.

Not to mention the very questionable no-call that served it up.

It was a devastating way for UNC to lose, but a Duke loss would've been 10 times more devastating, to lose to the worst Tar Heel team since the days of Matt Doherty.

Yeah, wasn't even going to mention that. It's Duke, so it's to be expected.

Those uniforms were Nike's idea. Throwback uniforms to 1920.... first year of games between the two institutions. Yes.... Im gonna celebrate a rivalry game.. now if I lived in North Dakota or Vermont... my celebration would be a bit muted. But not having to listen to Tar hole fans for the rest of the month.... is a wonderful thing.

Best kind of victory to have.... one that rips the heart out and pierces the soul. They are having their worst season in years.... but a victory last night would have been a gleam of sunshine for their fans........ but it was ripped from them in a most cruel way..... 8 years to the exact day when another Duke player wearing #0 ripped the heart out of the tarholes in the same arena.

Sounds like a closet Tarheel fan. You know.... they went 21-38 from the foul line... if they are gonna blame anybody... blame their sorry arse free throw shooting by their scholarship players. Hit 3 or 4 more free throws... the game would have been won in regulation.

Well, I suppose their fans can take solace in the fact that their team has actually had more postseason success than Duke has had in recent years, despite the fact that Duke supposedly has the best coach and definitely has had the better recruits.

I figured Nike had something to do with it.

Hey, I already mentioned UNC's FT futility. Like I said it never should've gone to OT, but it did. I wouldn't call myself a Tar Heel, but like most rational people I can't stand K and his evil empire.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Boston College is pounding Clemson 32-16 midway thru Q2. Home game for the Tigers but apparently that isn't helping at all.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Didn't see a separate thread for this one. DePaul in another dogfight, leading Seton Hall 34-31 midway thru Q2.

 

[nwhoopfan]

DePaul leading 50-40 at the half

 

[nwhoopfan]

Clemson has erased a 15 point halftime deficit, tied w/ BC w/ about 30 seconds left.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Florida leading Georgia 23-15 at half lol

DePaul leading 50-40 at the half

Quite the offensive showcase in this game.

Chante Stonewall, after having a bad game at St. John's, has come out on fire: 24 points on 10-14 FG in just the first half. She could be having a career game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Clemson's come back is for nought, BC wins 70-68.

 

[nwhoopfan]

My nominee for the "someone has to win" game of they day--1-10 Illinois at 1-11 Penn St. Last place in the B1G on the line!

 

[nwhoopfan]

DePaul now clinging to a 1 point lead w/ 4 minutes left in Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Purdue leading Iowa 18-14 thru Q1.

Ohio St. up 22-20 over Wisconsin thru Q1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa 39-33 at the half.

Ohio St. 46-35 at the half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

DePaul 80-75 w/ 2:45 left in Q4.

 

[nwhoopfan]

DePaul wins 86-76

 

[nwhoopfan]

Florida leading Georgia 23-15 at half lol

Georgia wins 47-43. How ugly was this game?

 

[Plebe]

DePaul survives one of the most treacherous road trips in the country, finally puts away a spunky Seton Hall squad, 86-76. Stonewall cooled off in the 2nd half but finished with 29 and 10. All other DePaul starters finished in double figures.

I don't know of a single ACC team that would've come away unscathed from the Queens-West Orange gauntlet.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa pulling away 55-41.
