March 16 Games Thread

Oregon St. up 68-43 after 3Q. Looks like Gulich completely took over the 3rd quarter. She had 8 points at halftime, she now has 25! 9-13 FG, also 13 rebounds. Could be an interesting battle between her and Mercedes Russell in the next round (I'm gonna go ahead and assume the Vols win their 1st round game).

Yeah I looked at that coverage map. They aren't very creative. A thinking person might assume someone on the West Coast had more of an interest in Pac 12 teams in general than other games. Instead the only specific games they are covering for Washington are Seattle U. and Gon zaga, although both are playing Pac 12 schools (Oregon and Stanford). I would've much rather watched the Oregon St. game this morning.

Gulich(?) is having a very good game, the whole team looks good. My first look at them this season I believe .

I was hoping we would get the Maryland/Princeton game here in SC but nope...we're still getting the Louisville game. Doesn't portend well that I will get to see NC State unless I log on to the ESPN3 web site.

I'm in the mood now to fire off a nasty letter to TPTB.

Tell me where to send my letter, too. I want to see Elon! The have 6 freshmen that have matured during the season and are could give you guys a game.

Russell appears, to me, to take parts of games off. Gulich should out play her without any problem.
 
I will give credit when it is due.

Good job by ESPN to switch the feed to the Depaul/Oklahoma game, which has become the most competitive of the games currently in progress.

I wonder what ESPN is showing on ESPNNews and on the "U"? I'm sure they have more "compelling" programming than the Women's Basketball. :mad:

The NCAA contract is for all games to be shown on ESPN & ESPN2, which have the widest coverage. Not everyone gets ESPNU and ESPNNews.

DePaul's Coleman fouls out after getting clobbered earlier in the quarter. I step away from Watch ESPN at the half to book on Orbitz and while I'm away OK's Ortiz goes on a 3rd quarter rampage and OK storms back. Nice that ESPN wrapped to OK-DePaul. DePaul hits a 3 to lead OK by 10 at 7:00 in 4Q
 
I'm kind of rooting for DePaul ... would be a fun game with Texas A&M. But OK breathing down DePaul's neck. Last 3 min DePaul 7pt lead at 1:13

I was trying to give Russell some benefit of the doubt. I definitely believe Gulich is the more active and skilled player. She's rarely faced a player taller than herself this year (other than every day in practice vs. Grymek), so we'll see if Russell's length bothers her.
 
DePaul wins final score 90-79
Last career game for OK's Pierre-Louis, Ortiz, and Manning.
 
So ESPN gave us about 30 seconds of in game coverage of the Oregon St.-WKU game, but now on the same court Tennessee-Liberty is the feature game they are showing. Lame. Again, boo ESPN!

Well, bless my soul...we are getting the NC State/Elon game here in SC. I had logged onto ESPN3 to watch it on the computer but doesn't appear I will need to now.
 
I don't know why Hayes isn't starting for Tennessee. Westbrook is not a point guard. Take Jackson out of the starting lineup. Every Warlick team has tried to convert a shooting guard to a point guard and it just doesn't work. Jordan Reynolds for example.
 
I have to say, I was really disappointed in Bella Alarie today. She forced shots, made a really dumb bad foul on Charles and just did not look good for all the hype I had heard. The big moment did not shine well on her today.

Based on the way Oregon State played today, I think that Tenn/OSU matchup will be really intriguing. I could see either a really close game or very bad blowout loss for the Lady Vols. I also have to say in watching the LV game, where are all the people??? They averaged 9,800+ a game this year.

It just is so disappointing seeing so many empty seats at venues (not just Tennessee but NC State, Louisville) for the championships-the energy should be high and I just feel bad for these young ladies.

If they do play that way against Oregon State they will lose.

Yeah, but after that slow start they put on a full court press and started forcing turnovers and opened up a double digit lead. OSU has had a hard time handling pressuring defenses at times this year, so that could cause them problems as well.

Are the early starts a problem? All the games UW hosted last year were rockin'. Even Oklahoma vs. Gon zaga down the stretch, the Husky fans really got behind GU and made plenty of noise. But those were all evening games, none of them started at noon or early afternoon.

The daughter of a Dookie with a cheap shot. Maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Sorry Triad, but I despise Coach K and the men's hoops program.

Its alot easier for fans to attend a game at 7pm on a Friday than noon or 2.
 
NC State leads Elon 16-8, at the end of the 1st quarter. NC State was 4 of 11 from the field...Elon was 2 of 13 and with 6 turnovers in the quarter. Kiara Leslie leads all scorers with 6 points, with two made THREEs.
 
OMG HISTORY MADE

Tenn seems to have gotten a bad call in Knoxville

(Russells shot went through the rim and got caught in the net and was nullified, which is odd.)

Neither NC State nor Elon can throw the ball in the ocean right now. Combined, the two teams are 8 of 36 from the field. With 5:50 left in 2nd quarter, NC State just hit their first FG of the quarter. 20-11, NC State.

How did Tennessee rate a #3 seed.

In a dogfight with Liberty. A team that lost to Houston!!! As usual the SEC has successfully gamed the system and gotten several teams over seeded.

Tenn was not overseeded. Show me what #4 seed has a stronger resume.

As I watch the Lady Vols struggle to put away Liberty, I have to believe that OSU will end TN’s tournament on Sunday.

Hard to say. While nowhere near as erratic as last year, Vols still can play up/down to level of competition.

I certainly agree, but the matchup that I believe will doom the Lady Vols on Sunday is HW vs Scott Rueck.
