Monday's other games

[Plebe]

Whoa, McDonald picks up her 4th foul in mid-3Q.
Her replacement, Corral, immediately turns the ball over and then fouls the shooter in transition.
Washington foul trouble could keep OK in the game.

Aaaaand ... Corral redeems herself with a 3.

 

[Jimbo]

Glad I didn't start playing a drinking game for every time somebody on the air mispronounces Quinnipiac. I'd be long dead by now.

This foul trouble for the Bobcats bodes ill, unfortunately. They need to adjust to how the game's being called and take a few fewer chances.

 

[ASweet3781]

Yep! I said when brackets came out i wasn't happy to see them.

I''ve seen at least 5-6 teams outside of the 1 seed line impressive to me enough to make the Final 4....they ALL avoided South Carolina's region somehow. Most ended up in UConn and Baylor's region.

 

[HuskyNan]

Nothing the team can do about the bracket, just have to deal with what's in front of them. Complaining isn't going to change anything.

They can only adjust so much when Miami mugs them and gets away with it. I think QU is running out of gas with help from the refs shortening their available players. It's tough enough being a cinderella without a home job!

 

[Horatio]

Apparently Miami players can just run into the QU players and jar the ball loose.

That's for sure. They're doing a remarkable job in this game. Regardless of the outcome they can be very proud of what they've done.

 

[Blueballer]

Finally a call on bumping the ballhandler against Miami.

 

[Blueballer]

I don't think Tex A&M is going to pull off another 20+ point comeback against UCLA tonight.

 

[Plebe]

Washington was really humming in the 3rd quarter and stretched their lead from 7 to 23. It was vintage Kelsey Plum in every facet. Passing, hitting 3's, crossing defenders over, turning the corner, getting to the foul line, etc. She is such a joy to watch.

Plum has 31 points and 9 assists with another quarter to play.
Osahor is working on a triple-double.
McDonald and Romeo also in double figures.

 

[ASweet3781]

Hopefully they switch to the Quinnipiac game soon. This Washington game is a bore. No defense at all.

 

[housekeys]

Bravo to Quinnipiac. Even with suspicious calls and foul trouble, they are getting it done so far.

 

[UcMiami]

Unbelievable that Q is still leading playing a game of five on eight! Refs in this game called 7 touch fouls on Q in the third quarter and only one of the myriad similar fouls against Miami.

 

[Jimbo]

Win or lose, I couldn't be more impressed with Quinnipiac in this game. The poise they're playing with is remarkable. Really hoping they can hang on here!

 

[Plebe]

Hopefully they switch to the Quinnipiac game soon. This Washington game is a bore. No defense at all.

Or perhaps just better offense.

 

[willtalk]

Quinnipiac still leads Miami... 43 to 36 at the half. Is there a Cinderella in Connecticut?

I know they are an Native American tribe. But there is also an Ice Cream Brand that has that name.

 

[psconn]

Bobcats up 6 ond on the FT line... 6:25 to go... this could happen!

 

[DefenseBB]

I can watch Kelsey Plum all night. In fact, I am!

And as much as I love KLS and NC, Plum is deserving of the POY this year. Anyone who thinks she's over rated or like the other Kelsey, just needs to watch her.

 

[psconn]

Ugh. Up only 1 now... 3:00 to go

 

[CTBballfan243]

Again, UConn will chew UCLA up in the paint. All UConn has to do is take away 1 of UCLA's weapons on offense. UCLA won't be able to score enough to win game.

 

[CTGirl15]

If there is the announcers STILL don't know how to pronounce it. I think Lobo is tired of correcting them.

It makes me cringe each time. ESPN is headquartered in Connecticut, has NO ONE in their studios sent the announcers the proper pronunciation?

 

[Blueballer]

BACKDOOR em QU !!!!

 

[Blueballer]

It makes me cringe each time. ESPN is headquartered in Connecticut, has NO ONE in their studios sent the announcers the proper pronunciation?

They are getting it wrong in the Studio too! Except Lobo.

 

[psconn]

Really getting annoyed with "Quinn - a - PEE - ac"

 

[CTGirl15]

They are getting it wrong in the Studio too! Except Lobo.

One of the two announcers appears to have it right. The other is putting the emphasis on the P over and over again.
