Maryland @ Louisville

[HoopsFan21]

Maryland ??

The problem is there is a such a gap between UConn, ND, and every one else. You could make a case for any of the rest of the top 10 teams to get the last two #1 seeds. No matter what the committee did there would have been complaining as after UConn and ND it's kind of a toss up.

Actually Maryland didnt deserve the #1 seed..... guess in retrospect Baylor should be been the #1 seed in this region

may not be Louisville's night. Even the chippies won't fall for them

Fun game to watch. The pace they're setting could give the win to the best conditioned. Alyssa and Shoni are living up to their press. I wonder which one will go first in the draft?

 

[Hongster]

Stokes has her work cut out for her, guarding Thomas is not going to be an easy task.

 

[DavidK]

I thought Maryland had a chance to win this game in a close one late, but right now they are in complete control of the game..... pretty quiet in Louisville atm

UConn has played and beaten maryland the last few years.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Terps are getting separation. This will be tough for the home team.

Not really afraid of Maryland. Granted they've gotten better, but UConn beat them by 18 on their home court without KML and Tuck.

 

[NutmegDog]

If Cards could knock 4 points off this 9-point lead, the psychology would change. As it is, MD has a working lead and Louisville can't buy a hoop.

And with Bria going 0-11 on treys.

Kelly did a nice job on Thomas last year.

Kiah is a beast, and has done well guarding Thomas in games past. I am not too worried

If we were to meet again, I'd expect a similar outcome. An improved Kiah, and Kaleena starting to get back in her rhythm. If we get normal play out of Stef and Bria, even half a Stewie should be good enough to win on a neutral court.

If Maryland can hold on.... they will be the Big 10's first Final 4 participant since 2005.

 

[Blue Huskie]

I'm conflicted. While I usually root for Conference teams and I don't like Frese , I also don't want to play any team 4 times in one year.

Yeah I'm with you on that, though I don't think Louisville has enough to beat UConn. UConn seems to play well against Louisville.

Technically, no. They are still an ACC team.

 

[NutmegDog]

Cards cannot win with Shoni blowing break-away lay ups.

 

[Hongster]

Definitely not, just saying assuming they win tonight and ND in the semi.

 

[triaddukefan]

Not in my book

 

[MilfordHusky]

You can't trade baskets when you're down by 9 with 5 mins to go.

 

[Vowelguy]

Once again I'm confused. We all know that Thomas is a mediocre player and frese is a terrible coach.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Louisville is really blowing it. Didn't expect that. Missing threes I might expect but not layups. Very surprised.

 

[Hongster]

Oh man! The cards blew so many fast break lay ups. The fast pace killed them.

Fun game to watch. Go Terps!
