March 18 games thread

There are men's basketball games being played?

I thought there were men's showboating games being played.

I know this is a thread about WCBB..... but over on the mens side.... Cincinnati just had the most unbelievable choke jobs in recent NCAA memory

Just channel surfed and caught the last minute. Unbelievable.

Not for Notre Dame

ND is pushing under the baskets and its not getting called. There have been at least two hacks on Villanova shooters that haven't been called. I guess Muffet had a talking to the refs during the half.

Muffett doing a Dawn, Westbeld off the bench

Yeah it was tied at the half so all of a sudden the ankle is OK? Novacaine?

I wish another game was on, these refs are definitely biased, even more so in the 2nd half.

And it's hard to see the brace...

 

[Centerstream]

WOW, a foul on Shepard...holding my breath for that make up call.

And it's hard to see the brace...

Clearly she's not really injured and ND sat one of their starters for the 1st half just for kicks.

Do you see a brace?
The way these announcers described her injury, I was expecting to see a walking boot

Well obviously they weren't planning on using her. Precautionary apparently but that plan sure changed in a hurry. They must have thought this was going to be fairly easy.

I call it the Muffet effect, she yells at the refs during the half, and they come out and get all the calls. I guess the male ref with the dark hair didn't get the message, he has called 3 fouls on ND in the last minute.

Plus a home job for ND on St Patrick's weekend is not unheard of

Glad that the MI/Baylor game is starting cause this game is definitely over. Another 8 on 5 game...

The wheels seem to have fallen off the Nova campaign. Time to make dinner.

I was shocked when they were given the Friday \Sunday games

 

[DefenseBB]

Valiant first half effort but the clock has struck 12...and the shots are not falling. ‘Nova had a great year congrats

 

[Plebe]

What a disastrous third quarter for Nova. This went from tied game to 20-point blowout in just 10 minutes.

That happens. The surprise to me was that they were close until haltime. Harry said they have massive scroring droughts.

 

[MSGRET]

ND is 18 for 20, while Villanova is 4 for 11 on freethrows.

 

[Centerstream]

How many assistants does Mulkey have? There are 6 people between her chair and the scorer's table.

 

[Orangutan]

Just amazing the impact Westbeld has without having scored a basket. Just her knowing where to be on both ends makes everything flow so much better.

 

[DefenseBB]

On to the Baylor Michigan game! Looking forward to seeing how Arico-Barnes schemes this game...

 

[GoUconn7961]

Michigan has settled down thank goodness

 

[wbball novice]

Nice to see Kim Barnes-Arrico again. I remember her from Big East games with UConn. Surprisingly close considering Flaherty had the jitters.
