I was thinking that it might/could be considered a moving screen

I've definitely seen it before. I guess as long as it doesn't get called it's a clever move.

Bad day for teams with mascots named the Phoenix

Minn's Kenisha Bell to Wagner seals the deal; Minn wins 89- 77

 

[nwhoopfan]

A pair of 10 seeds just beat 7's. Gotta put a big asterisk next to the Virginia win though. Cal without their leading scorer and rebounder Anigwe, not the same team without her.

How many are there?

Elon and UW-Green Bay

Oregon St. needs to be able to handle Tennessee's pressure, they had issues with that at times this year. They've also struggled to beat good teams on the road. I'm not hugely optimistic about OSU's chances.

Let me help you out- Based I what I saw today and previously I think that OSU has good size, great perimeter shooting, strong defense to stimy the freshman guards and force plenty of turnovers. I expect Scott to slow the game down a bit and force Tenn to utilize their awful halfcourt offense, which, frankly is offensive!
My money is on the orange from the NW.

So nice to see Villanova and Harry Perratta again! Long time no see! V still shooting 3s in bunches. Remember that Israeli player who helped beat UConn with 3s -- she couldn't miss that night.

Cal is one of the worst 7 seeds in the history of the tournament. They're horrible and accomplished nothing all year outside of a rivalry win vs Stanford. It's incredible they are a 7 seed and Miami is an 8.

I am guessing that you don't remember her seeing that you didn't post her name

It was nice to see Oregon State get the 1st game in the books, and win convincingly (as they should have). As nwhoopfan has rightfully pointed out, if Tennessee does a better than average job of turning over OSU, and scoring off of the turnovers, then Tennessee can stop this OSU Team. If OSU takes care of the ball (15 or less turnovers), and doesn't give up many of offensive rebounds, OSU can upset Tennessee.

I saw the game on TV. All I can remember was that she was Israeli. I'm terrible at names (ask my family). Anyone?

They're off to a nice start so far.

Boo ESPN. I don't want to watch Baylor, I'd rather stay w/ Villanova-SDSU until the Oregon game starts. I've generally been really unhappy with their coverage today.

Cal was missing their 3-time All PAC12 post player. They are much better with Anigwe. But, they are not deep with talent.

 

[stwainfan]

Baylor should win easily.

Not the name you are looking for. My favorite (but also the only one I can think of off the top of my head) Israeli player was Shay Doron at Maryland.

That's their MO. They always go with the higher seed. Even though it's likely to be a very eraly blowout.

They managed to win a 1st round game last year (I think against LSU) after only going 6-12 in conference. I was shocked they got in. They were much improved this year, regardless of post season record.

It appears that Holly will live another day. No Hari Kari for her.

 

[triaddukefan]

Baylor should win easily.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ha ha. I was only stuck w/ Baylor for a couple minutes, and I changed the channel. Oregon-Seattle U. tipping off.

I’m pulling for Oregon State and “my” vote for PAC-12 POY Marie Gulich.

 

[Centerstream]

Baylor should win easily.

Looks like Grambling is a bit undersized, probably no one over 6'1?.
Already 10-1, Grambling timeout, just under 6 minutes of the 1st quarter

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Baylor should win easily.

The only way this game will be entertaining is if Mulkey gets a technical for throwing something. She isn’t wearing a jacket so I’m guessing she will air mail something else.
