NCAA Second Round (Sunday)

[SCGamecock]

Baylor played a soft nonconference schedule and suffered a loss to a team not named UConn. That makes its resume weaker than South Carolina's.

BUT THE EYE TEST.... MY EYES ARE NEVER WRONG!

That's what the numbers say. But what do the eyes say?

People overstate the importance of the eye test. Tournament seeding is based on resume.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Baylor looks good.

I just wonder how KM is gonna keep all those post players happy with next years #1 recruit coming in?

The way SC celebrated the end of the 1st half you'd think they won the National Championship.

We did, the national championship of buzzer beaters. This team makes a lot of them.

When you have UCONN out there beating tournament teams by 60 you have to celebrate the little things.

Well considering the 1 seeds in women's basketball are usually light years above the rest of the country, if you can't get that right not much else really matters. Baylor is the 2nd best team I've seen this year and I usually never think anyone is tougher for us than Notre Dame.

But we should always trust the numbers. Like the RPI that had UConn as the 3rd best team in the country.

RPI is not the resume. Resume is who you've played and who you've beaten. Baylor may very well be the second-best team in the country, but their resume doesn't reflect that.

It's kinda like how everyone was howling "eye test" to argue that Louisville just had to be a top-10 team. Well, even though they "looked" like a top-10 team, their resume just didn't back it up. And then they lose to Syracuse in the ACC semis and now to DePaul in the 2nd round on their home floor.

Looks like both Baylor and South Carolina will move on easily.

Baylor looked the best tonight.

Oregon State and Arizona State are struggling like the weak #2 seeds I figured them to be.

Pretty revealing that Tennessee's 2 high marks this year might come against those 2 teams. Tennessee may have been top 5 playing in the Pac 12 this year!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I don't wanna hear one Tennessee person complaining about officiating. That's the second continuation that the Vols have gotten.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Anyone else tired of hearing about Kelsey Mitchell scoring 45 points!!

She took 31 shots to get those 45 and 18 came from the free throw line!!!!

I guess I am just used to the UCONN players taking about half of that!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

This game is over.

I have seen ASU play multiple times and they cant make up 10 points in 4 minutes. Their offense is weak.

Tennessee will move on to face Ohio State.

Oregon State and Arizona State are struggling like the weak #2 seeds I figured them to be.

I'm trying to understand how a 29 pt. mov for Oregon St. over a 10-seed is "struggling".

Watching that game in the fourth Q as the rest of the team stood around on offense and KM rained down bricks, I agree with you. She was pretty special in the 3rd Q, but the whole team became sort of stagnant and they couldn't get out of that pattern and struggled to win.

The bigger question is how she will keep them all happy when Charli Collier joins the team in 2018.

Next year will likely see Brown and Mompremier split time at the 5 like they have done this year and Cox split time at the 3 and 4. What an embarrassment of riches Kim will have.

 

[easttexastrash]

Louisville is 'very physical'.

Both their post players and guards. If you really watch them they are slapping and hacking. As long as they don't get caught they will keep on doing it.

I've never noticed. I wonder if their coach instructs them to play that way?

Stop. I'm tired of your using the Boneyard to whine about a game played three years ago.
