Assuming Louisville wins, the DePaul match up should be OUTSTANDING!
 
I didn't watch the entire game. Anybody know what might be going on here?

Big - singular, and I use the word loosely. Central Arkansas has one player over 6', Raquel Logan, who is 6-1. Taya Novokreshchenover, the 6-0 player, has seen the court in only 12 games this season.

Size also is making a difference in the Mississippi State game. Didn't realize the Bulldogs were so big on that frontline. 6-7 and 6-5.

Not sure if its nerves or Syracuse defense bur Army looks dreadful. Only 4 points in the 1st quarter and 2 so far in the second.

Sadly, it really is an army of one over there. Kinda tough against five bigguns'.

I really like Chinwe for Mississippi State, she's big but can move around the floor. McGowan, the other big at 6'7, is a freshmen so she still has a lot to learn. She's not entirely comfortable dominating the paint and often gets overpowered by shorter players.. but if she figures things out during the offseason she could be a dominating post player in the SEC next year.

Mississippi State is really on the rise in the SEC.. their recruiting is getting better each year. They have Jacaira Allen coming in next year (she reminds me of FSU's Shakayla Thomas) and a few days ago they just got a commitment from Nyah Tate who will likely be a 5-star guard in 2017.

Hmmm..

I watched the game so I must have missed something unless its the score. I thought it should have been 60-59 but it said 61 so I assumed I missed a shot somewhere at the end but other than that I am not sure.

Midway through the 2nd quarter they already have 13 turnovers and they're 2-of-13 from the floor. Minato is 0-of-5. Syracuse loves to turn teams over and that's what they're doing here.

They also pick up Roshunda Johnson the Oklahoma State transfer who was pretty good in Stillwater.
 
Miss State up 37-31 over Chattanooga with about 5 minutes left in the third quarter. Yes, 37 points in 25 minutes for a ranked team.
 
Here comes Chatty. Down only 2 with 3 minutes left in the 3rd...

All ya gotta do is believe!

Oh... I believe it's over.
Offense is not fluent, just shooting 3's and not playing good defensively. Seem to be a step behind OSU.
 
It's amazing that Chattanooga is still in this game with only 40 points. So many airballs and missed layups!

LOL, "both teams struggling today [on offense]" sez the announcer. This might be a case of the first team to 50 wins.

DePaul is one of those rare teams that often plays better away from home.
 
Wow, this is an ugly game. The two teams have 2 field goals in 5:02 minutes of the fourth quarter - combined. It remains 49-46 Miss State over Chattanooga.

I think Louisville will blow out DePaul. Louisville looks like a top five or six team right now. Surging.

Sugar Bears, nice try.

They didn't look it in their previous game against Syracuse.

Love LaChina Robinson but Miss State hasn't "put the clamp" on anything. Chattanooga is getting great looks at the basket but can't hit the side of a barn.
 
Army making it respectable in the end by outscoring Syracuse by 10 in the 4th Q, but the disastrous 1st quarter really doomed them.
 
HuskyNan said:
I'm not sure why the Orange is pressing Army with 15 seconds left in the game since it's up by 17 points. What's the deal with that?
Expand ...
That's a great question. Would love to see someone ask Q that. I suspect that they didn't want the margin of victory to be any closer. Army outplayed them for the entire 2nd half. But not much that that coach does surprises me... :rolleyes:
 
Just got to TN-Green Bay game. 2-300 GB fans here (I'm sitting with them - they're gonna like me!). Hardly any TN fans - maybe 50. TN band playing Rockytop to nobody. TN national anthem discipline is line up tallest-to-shortest like UCONN, all (including coaches and cheerleaders) put left arm behind their back, fist closed, right hand over heart. Whatever. GB fans in a rowdy mood!
 
.-.
Mississippi State vs. Meat-chicken State is an intriguing second round opponent, as Uconn would play the winner in the regional semis if indeed the Huskies get that far (as I expect, but the games still have to be played, of course).

Having said that, I fear neither team in the Sweet 16. Not one bit.
 
TN is MUCH bigger, faster and more athletic than GB. GB up 11-10 @ 2:43 to go in 1st. Everybody in this place except the very-badly outnumbered TN fans rooting for GB
