March 19 non-UConn games thread

The reality of the NCAAT is when the tears flow. Despite how I feel about any player or any team, I do find it a little unsettling to see a player crying...when it hits them that their career and chance to wear their team uniform, is ending.

UConn and South Carolina better beware. That Buffalo team is for real!

No sweat of UConns back but I hope Staley and crew were watching and better get PREPARED!

Miss st struggled wih ok state earlier this year when ok state was missing a key player.

Frankly I hope ok state buries them. I’m tired of seeing that fluke shot by the midget.

Which key player were they missing? Certainly not their stars, Goodwin and Jensen. Actually, they lost Areanna Combs to injury after the MSU game.

I'm happy for Sue Guevara and Central Michigan. She had a tumultuous time at Michigan...but she has got the Central Michigan program rolling.

2 MAC teams in the Sweet 16!
 
Well...CMU vs. Oregon could be interesting. The game against Minnesota started out as a shootout, but Minnesota couldn't keep pace and Oregon kept rolling. UO's zone defense has caused several opponents problems. It's not a super aggressive trapping zone, but they extend it fairly far and make it difficult to find shots from the perimeter. They really stymied Stanford in the Pac 12 tourney finals.
 
Is McGuff still at Ohio St in 5 years?

He squandered a lot of talent here, and with disastrous recruiting going forward, it's gonna be some lean years ahead in Columbus.

Mitchell just passed Stiles for #2. Plum's record is going to be safe for a while. Maybe Chennedy Carter will take a run at it.

It was hard to see Mitchell, who rarely displays emotion on the court, break down in tears as she came off the court for the final time. The OSU seniors were pretty much all in tears on the bench.

But man, Central Michigan just earned this win. They shot 14 of 27 (!) from 3, and 25 of 27 (!!!) from the free throw line.
 
Tough loss for Kelsey Mitchell. For a shooter to end her career cold is not the best way to go.

For Duke, pretty even distribution of scoring, apparently; I wonder how UConn assigns the matchups. Didn't get to see too much of Lexie Brown since it was the end of the game. The Duke bench didn't look very good.

She scored 20 something points though, not exactly cold.

I don't like that part of the game. Even if it's a team or a coach I don't like, it's tough seeing those young women hurting like that.

She scored 28, but I think 13 of those were in the 4th quarter when the game was pretty much out of reach. She also took 29 overall shots.
 
So...looking at the three games between Central Michigan and Buffalo this season:

Each team won at home.

Central Michigan over Buffalo on January 31, 86-79.

Buffalo over Central Michigan on February 14, 85-82.

Central Michigan over Buffalo in the MAC Tournament, 96-91.

Both teams score...both teams hit lots of 3s.

Both could possibly pull a surprise in the Sweet 16. They both appear to be peaking at the right time.

I don't get to see MAC games here in SC...and never think about logging onto the ESPN app to watch them...but maybe I should.

I think I have to root for a Mississippi St. blowout so I can see some of Stanford or UCLA. Really wish they were more sensible with their regional preferences for which games to follow. Unfortunately as someone pointed out they tend to stick w/ the highest seeded team, regardless of score.
 
Stanford frontcourt flexing their muscles early. 3-3 from the floor, 7-0 lead less than 2 minutes into the game.

Why not just watch the ESPN app or ESPN3. That way you can choose your game.

Ohio St graduates 5, returns 6, led by Calhoun & Waterman. The other 4 barely played.
Their incoming frosh are RI's Janai Crooms, a barely top-100 player, and a kid from Hungary.

Next year they will have 3 SR - 2 JR - 1 SO - 3 FR

Try to look up the MAC championship game. Very high quality basketball. I have seen a lot a mid-majors play in my life, and that did not look like mid-major basketball.
