Big win on the road by Coach Walz and his charges.

Shook with 10 points and 7 blocks. Thoroughly destroyed Cunane inside with her presence. Expected more of Cunane after hearing rave reviews of her improvement. Should NC State play Louisville again, Cunane will need to do something different in the paint. She will be happy to see Shook graduate.

I think State has one more regular season loss in them.

If there's an opportunity to screw the pooch, NC State athletics, regardless of sport, never disappoints.

Sad but true.

So with this loss is UConn back to a one seed. Unless Stanford or UCLA beat the Ducks, I don't see 2 PAC12 teams as #1 seeds. I guess if NCState or Lville win out as well as their ACC tourney that winner could be a 1 seed or if Mississippi State wins out including SEC tourney there could be 2 SEC 1 Seeds, If not i think UConn gets Ft Wayne as the 1.

Creme said Maryland will be the fourth 1 seed for now. Have to think UConn’s chance for a 1 is over and if Louisville loses once more there chance should be done as well. I think Maryland, Louisville Stanford, and UCLA will be in the mix to be #1.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

I can't see the justification for UCONN being a #1 except that the name on their jersey is UCONN.

I think a lot of teams would need to blow it down the stretch.
