Monday (3/25): NCAA 2nd round games

[Plebe]

I switched to UCLA-Maryland from ND-Michigan State. Is ND shooting percentage improved?

They've scored 41 points in less than 15 minutes. I'd say that's good enough, whatever the percentage.

 

[wbball novice]

Thanks Plebe, hope you're feeling better.

 

[Jmsdawg]

ND looks awesome. They are going to be hard to beat unless you can slow them down.

Much better today. Just in time to go back to work

ND is 48.6% from the field at the moment. Think the season average is 51 or 52%.

Mich St not exactly known for defense and it's showing.
ND already has 10 offensive rebounds.

 

[LETTERL]

4:19 left 2nd quarter, NC State up 31-26. Kentucky has started to bother NC State with its defense and fighting for loose balls.

Part of their current "Awesomeness" has to do with who they're playing. I didn't think Mich St. deserved to win their first game.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Historically - No

Its frustrating to watch

There is so much talent but I feel like the team as a whole could be on an entirely other level if they would buy into playing defense and stop turning the ball over.

From what I have seen so far in the UCLA v Md game I would rather face Md. UCLA getting a lot of Off Rebounds and having their way in the paint. Md making stupid mistakes, so far.

 

[nwhoopfan]

So where's the whip around coverage? Notre Dame looks good, but this game is a complete blowout and not interesting to non-ND fans. Switch already. I've got UCLA-Maryland going on the computer but I'd rather see something else on TV.

 

[Blue Huskie]

ESPN can leave the screen blank during the breaks as far as I'm concerned. It's beats the same 3 or 4 commercials played ad nauseum

They'll "Whip" when the other games are almost done. They think the world is in love with ND.

 

[Orangutan]

It seems like ND gets more foul calls than any team ever

I believe ND leads the country in FTs made. They did the last time I checked. (edit-2nd to Buffalo per Her Hoop stats)

I am aware the cynics will think this is evidence of bias.

I submit that ND has two excellent post players and two of the best guards in the country at attacking the rim.

 

[wbball novice]

About 5 min. left 38-30 UCLA lead after Dean 3. UConn's rebounding stats aren't gonna improve if they play UCLA, though they get a lot of rebounds cause they miss a lot of layups.
I think Comcast lost the feed so I'm in the dark ... nope, I'm back because of commercial break.

You need to use a Roku or Apple TV or Chromecast or HDMI cable to get all the games on your large screen. It's a difference maker.

Halftime in Raleigh: NC State leading Kentucky, 35-30. NC State out rebounding the Wildcats, 25-18, but Kentucky doing better on the offensive glass, 10-8. That will be a key part of Wes Moore's comments in the lockerroom, I'm sure.

Ace Konig and DD Rogers each have two fouls for the Wolfpack Women.

 

[SECbbfan24]

UCLA has 17 offensive rebounds lol

Maryland's freshmen Austin and Mikesell have impressed me. Austin showed some midrange game with a nice jumper.

 

[wbball novice]

Onyenware sitting with 2 fouls around 2:40. There goes the UCLA offense. Maryland within 4, 44-40 at the end of the half. A little reminiscent of yesterday's UConn-Buff 4th quarter.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA has gotten sloppy, several careless turnovers. 44-40 at halftime. UCLA w/ 17 O boards already! Tennessee kept them somewhat under control but they are killing Maryland in that department.

 

[SimpleDawg]

All these low attendance numbers in those games. Man....

 

[nwhoopfan]

or HDMI cable to get all the games on your large screen.

I have that. Just not using it at this point.

 

[Blue Huskie]

You need to use a Roku or Apple TV or Chromecast or HDMI cable to get all the games on your large screen. It's a difference maker.

There are cable systems that will also allow access to the internet games. I have Cox here in CT and we can watch the other games using the Cox Box. It takes a few minutes at the beginning of each round of games to create placetags for the different games then you can move between them with a click.

Yet Antonelli advocates for true neutral sites. They tried that once and the announcers were about the only ones there

The pre-determined sites were a disaster. WBB, while growing, isn't quite ready for that, yet.
