I Guess the Sentiment=No Gamethread Huh

We were up by 11 in Waco. I don't understand why the Irish are not up by 15 on a neutral court.

It must be so strange to play on a team with someone like Griner. It's almost like playing 4 on 3 or something, because if they are constantly doubling her down low and you can't get her the ball, you have to figure out a way to score when the offense clearly flows through her. I'm surprised Baylor doesn't use her to run more high screen and rolls to the basket, seems like she would be unstoppable.

Obviously the low post-up works as well, since she's got 21 points, but just think if she developed a little 10-foot jumper....man. That would be ridiculous. She actually has a good handle, too. I am very impressed with her abilities, and she gets just pushed around down there like nobody else.

 

[RadyLady]

They are just mauling Brittney...and FINALLY they called a foul. Good Grief!

 

[sarals24]

That said, I would rather watch Uconn's brand of bball any day. A lot prettier, more passing, more transition, better defense.

 

[sarals24]

You know, Diggins plays pretty terrible D. She consistently lets her man get a step on her and then does that stupid reach-around. She doesn't seem to hustle back, either. Watch her jog up the court in transition. Ugh. Not a fan.

Novosel, Peters and Mallory are going out like chumps here. Griner to her credit is playing like a champion, but those seniors/five year players are playing like the moment is too big for them. I hate to sound mean, but they have 8:35 to prove me wrong.

she does kind of float around.

Man ESPN loves Skylar, don't they? She can do no wrong...

ESPN loves Griner. Seems like every time I look at the screen when the game's not going on, Griner's face or stats are there.

Notre Dame players mauling an opponent. I'm shocked!

 

[cardfan]

no post presence to slow down Griner

Why does Doris think people want to hear a middle aged white lady try to talk with "quasi-Black or something" slang?

It's all about class...and I am not talking Sophmores, juniors and seniors...

 

[sarals24]

That was embarrassing for all involved.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Novosel with a doughnut: 0-10. Why couldn't she have missed 1 more shot on Sunday?

 

[Wbbfan1]

Just saw a tweet that said Kelly Jolly at the last minute turned down the Auburn job, because she's now a coach at Tenn.

or that prayer by McBride to end the first half? Ugh.

I don't understand all the talk about making history at 40-0. It's an undefeated season which is impressive every time it happens. But the difference between 39-0 and 40-0 is one OOC game against an unmatched opponent. The previous undefeated teams that went 39-0 had to win the same number of NCAA tournament games. And by the way, there's a team that had 2 back-to-back undefeated national championship seasons and won 12 more after that to go 90-0. Talk about the undefeated season and how impressive that is, but enough with the 40 wins versus 39 wins. It's window dressing.

 

[cardfan]

the tone for the game was set with Peters getting 2 quick fouls.

The plot thickens...

A coach or THE coach?

 

[cardfan]

crappy camera work by ESPN

 

[alexrgct]

Btw, I'd rather have TWF. Auburn wins.

That extra cupcake clearly pushes this season over the top for them.

that's the question. Or HCIW???
