I have missed last 20 minutes. Anyone explain why Russel trying to start above the key, dribble through a crowd and shoot, only to have it taken from her. ???

 

[wbball novice]

End of Q3. Late in the quarter DePaul got its shot back and traded baskets with the Aggies. DeP. 63 A&M 53

The depth of talent in WCBB is far less than in men's basketball. If the women had the same depth, I think Warlick's Tennessee teams would be as ineffective as Kevin Ollie's UConn teams were (once the Calhoun players had all graduated). In some ways they almost seem like siblings with the way they can churn out teams that don't have any offensive flow to them.

Hmm...interesting. Fraser called or a Technical Foul after trash talk following a made basket.

47-38, Pack...2:20 left 3rd quarter. Now 20 points for Leslie.

Then Ace Konig for THREE...50-38.

NC State on a 13-2 run.

Then freshman Kai Crutchfield hits a THREE. 53-38. Timeout Maryland.

Whew!

Mercedes thinking she could dribble down the court. That was funny.
When I was guard many moons ago I used to love when big people would try to dribble in the open floor. It was the easiest steal ever.

Come on PACK..... stomp on their necks and dont let up

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Tenn has the refs at home obviously on Russel in slow deliberate motion lowers shoulder pushes in and shoves off ... no call. Crickets from announcers. Makes me a little ill.

Senior doesn't know to find a guard. The team isn't. Bunch of inmates running around; thus has it always been under FAHR Holly.

Gulich has had to pick herself up off of the court a dozen times, Russell - 1 foul on her...

 

[LETTERL]

Kai Crutchfield nails another THREE at the 3rd quarter buzzer...that's 8 points for the freshman and NC State takes 56-40 lead into the 4th.

 

[wbball novice]

DePaul down to 6 pt lead in last 6 min. A. Howard incredible rebounder.

 

[Vowelguy]

Vols falling apart, down 13 with 3 to go.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Oregon State vs Tennessee....

AS I PREDICTED...

I had this as a potential upset in my bracket and i mentioned it when the brackets came out.

I watch too much PAC12 basketball and new this could be a problem for the Vols.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Helter skelter and swallowed whistles. This is how they win in Nashville.

"offensive execution is not Tenn's M.O." -- Carol Ross

 

[HuskyFan1125]

There is almost something poetic that Mercedes Russell and Jaime Nared end their careers in Knoxville at the hands of an Oregon team.

 

[nyfanofwbb]

Oh a foul on TN !

 

[RockyMTblue2]

They mug in the opponents back court and the whistle never blows, not that this Oregon team can handle a press.

 

[Centerstream]

Three people foul an OSU player at mid court, guess they had to whistle that one.

 

[iri10]

I won't say that Gulich has a graceful handle, but at least she tries. She's had to do short dribbling stretches a lot today, after rebounds, trying to break presses, etc. I'd shudder to think what Natalie Butler would look like trying to dribble out of those tightly defended situations, and I love Butler.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Oh a foul on TN !

They are messing with my narrative!

 

[nyfanofwbb]

OT putting the nails in the coffin on TN

 

[Bigpetunia]

Time for the Margeaux whine!

 

[Centerstream]

OSU certainly can't handle full court pressure. Might be helpful to know for future games

 

[Fairfield Fan]

So sweet to see Tennessee go out early- again!

Isn't that the school who refuses to play UConn? Hope they enjoy watching the game on Monday night.
