March 19 non-UConn games thread

[JordyG]

MSS is in a dogfight. Again, I say these 2nd round opponents for these #1 seeds are just digging in. Welcome to creeping parity y'all.

 

[Plebe]

I almost forgot that UCLA and Creighton had already played this year, on a neutral court in Vegas. UCLA really struggled in that game and Creighton game planned very well.

This game is a different story.

I must say Ok St is impressing me. Why isn’t their record better?

Just a guess... they don’t play in the SEC;-)

I know Rellah Boothe is out for the season but I dont even see her on the Texas bench? Anyone else see her?

 

[Plebe]

vowelguy, I love your posts, so please pardon my goofy post below.

Whose resume wouldve warranted a 4 seed instead of GA? Answer: Duke for 1, Oregon State for 2.

This just isn't true. Georgia had a better resume than either of those two.

Is this the beginning of a pull-away run for Mississippi State?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford starting to pull away again, 52-38. Smith and McPhee have combined for 30 points. McPhee has been struggling shooting the previous 4 games. Would be big for the Cardinal if they can get her going again.

She was suspended from the team. Don't expect her to ever wear a Texas uniform again. Her 2 predicted championships will also be put on (permanent) hold.

Don't even get me started!!!! I don't understand all these 1st and 2nd round rematches. I mean making Oklahoma State go back to Starkville and play Mississippi State??

Ohhh...Didnt know she was suspended. Wow!

 

[wbball novice]

3Q McCarty another 3 and a really sweet assist. Texas 7-0 run.

She's transferring? Does anyone know what schools she is looking at?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Texas up 9, UCLA up 22.

 

[LoTrader]

This just isn't true. Georgia had a better resume than either of those two.

We'll just have to agree to disagree (which is OK)

 

[nwhoopfan]

Looking like UCLA is going to be the ONLY 3 seed to advance to the Sweet 16.

Wow, this is true.
Tennessee fell to Oregon State.
The other two 3 seeds (Florida State, Ohio State) died in the MAC attack.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I have a theory, there is one screaming banshee fan at every game. I can definitely hear her in the Mississippi St. crowd.

 

[LoTrader]

We need to trace the new contours of women's basketball. Georgia, a supposed SEC powerhouse is getting shellacked.

LSU loses to a mid-major.
Miami of the so-called "best conference in the country" gets whacked by Quinnipiac.
Tennessee, the supposed greatest program in history, goes out in the second round- again, losing to a perennial also-ran Pac-12 league team- Oregon State.
Florida State, a 3 seed, gets whacked by Buffalo.
Florida Gulf Coast (who? I mean, who?) takes out the SEC's Missouri.
No-name Creighton takes out the Big-10's Nebraska.
And let's not forget that one of the most storied teams with one of the winningest coaches- North Carolina- lost in the first round to upstart South Carolina.

This is a New World. Everything is changing, except UConn and Coach Geno!!!

What's this crap about a Oregon State being a "perennial also-ran PAC-12 league team"? That was HARSH. Oregon State has made the sweet 16 3 years in a row. They also made the final 4 a few years back. I realize they are not UCONN, but what other team is right now?

 

[nwhoopfan]

62-45 Stanford late in Q3. FGCU is 11-31 behind the arc, only four 2 point FGs. That is just crazy. I know that's their thing, but you have to have some balance don't you?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford winning the rebounding battle 40-13!

 

[wbball novice]

My Watch ESPN stream for Texas froze. When it finally started up again Texas was leading by 14. McCarty's shooting heated up. 4 min left in 3Q, Texas 59- AZS 41

 

[Blueballer]

It feels like this batch of games is pretty much decided. I don't think we'll get any buzzer beaters tonight.

 

[nwhoopfan]

66-48 Stanford at the end of 3Q

UCLA up 71-45 after 3Q

I think Texas is gonna take care of ASU, but I'll take 2 out of 3. Nobody underperforming per their seed, which some other conferences can't claim...

Reminds me of when Nikki McCray was a coach at South Carolina. You'd think someone was sticking a knife into her for 40 minutes the way she carried on.

The UCLA vs Texas game should be a good one. Both teams are playing well.
