MO stuns SC (merged thread)

[msf22b]

But yes I think SC stays #1.

They lose to an unranked team without their best player?
And still numero uno?
unlikely.

unlikely.

They’ve beaten the 2, 5, 6 teams. Who exactly should replace them?

 

[GoCardinal]

Wow. Didnt see the game but huge win for Mizzou. SEC appears to be extremely deep this year, especially with LSU, Mizzou and Georgia all better than expected.

Missouri wasn’t really a bad team last year, just really young and the youth showed in a lot of their losses. Several of those losses in conference were extremely close, they’ve learned how to win those now.

and some of youse nervous nellies been filling my ears with "how great sc or (fill in the blank) is ' these past weeks. as if. universal mediocrity, methinks.
we get healthy, and then we'll get busy. this year's champ is very much a jump ball.

It sounds like this SC loss was a "karma pay back" for their come from behind victory over Stanford.

unlikely.

They've beaten 5 top 10 teams including the #2 team twice. Who has a better resume?

Louisville, who lost their opener to Arizona and has since won 11 straight. Or even possibly undefeated Arizona. In any event, the rankings are completely meaningless if #1 can lose to an unranked team and still stay there.

 

[fomalhaut]

Well no undefeated NC this year.

There are still four undefeated teams, including one of last year's Final Four.

3 actually
Dont see any of them lasting 2 more weeks

What has happened to Cook and Henderson ? Their offensive games seemed to have really declined. Too much emphasis on post play ?
They were a combined 6 of 31 in fga in this game.
Cook is shooting 37% in fga for the year and only 27% from 3.

 

[LoboDays]

Polls are meaningless now. This is turning out to be a banner year for WCB. We have reached the long awaited point were many teams can knock off the best of the best on any given night. Loads of talent, quality coaching has brought parity. What Arizona did last year will become the norm. It’s all good.

 

[Wonder 12]

Who did Arizona play and beat actually? Louisville in ot by a minimal margin

 

[Alydar]

Missouri did a great job taking away SCar's transition game and by packing the paint thet dared SCar's guards to shoot. Cooke and Henderson were 6-31 (2-11) for 17 pts.
SCar's guards are at their best in transition.

Well run play at the end there. Impressive she was able to escape Beal there and finish.

A poll is whomever you think is the best team. For me, I can't think of anyone I would consider a favorite against SC.

 

[EricLA]

Zero chance SC stays #1. They lost to an unranked team who was missing their best player. They probably drop to 3 or so.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Well run play at the end there. Impressive she was able to escape Beal there and finish.

She beat Beal, Paxton, and Boston.

On the downside, things are looking rough for Vandy. I think 3-13 would be about as good as things could get. 2 or 1 is probably more likely.

Uh, Vandy already has nine wins this year. And only lost to #9 Arizona by 2.

Their game today against Texas A&M was postponed. They play Mizzou next on Sunday at home -- assuming both teams have enough players.

 

[Alydar]

Last Monday SCar had a 62 pt cushion on No 2 Stanford. Stanford plays at Wash St and Louis plays at GTech, both on Sunday. I think SCar will still be No 1 but lose their unanimous vote.

 

[tower1]

Driving layup at the near buzzer to win.

But yes I think SC stays #1.

Why the hell would you think that they will stay #1? They loose to an unranked team with their best player out and only 8 players and they get to stay #1. That's bull , they should drop like every other team after a big loss !

 

[KMac]

Missouri unranked..SC should fall....only fair

 

[Vowelguy]

Uh, Vandy already has nine wins this year. And only lost to #9 Arizona by 2.

And they have 5 losses, including to UALR and MTSU. I think it'll be tough to win more than a few conference games.

UConn loses to an unranked team right after losing Paige. Everyone: "OMG WTH is wrong with UConn???"

SC, with all its starters healthy and playing, loses to a much worse unranked team that's missing its best player. Everyone: "Wow the SEC is an incredibly tough and deep conference!"

 

[Vowelguy]

UConn loses to an unranked team right after losing Paige. Everyone: "OMG WTH is wrong with UConn???"

seriously?
UConn looked awful in that game. And most significantly just folded down the stretch, and couldnt do anything. That was demoralizing. If they had fought but lost I wouldn't have had as many concerns as I did.

I didnt see the 1st half tonight but SC didnt look terrible in what I saw -- they definitely executed poorly at times, but they got a lot of easy baskets and they played a team that was having a good night.
