UT Arlington fighting hard at Iowa State. They are a tough team for the Cyclones. Athletic and physical
 
Right now, outside of Baylor, the Big 12's big guns are looking not so good with Texas' 18 point victory over a mediocre Fairfield team, and now Iowa State foundering against an equally mediocre UT Arlington team. Iowa State may get out of this, but next up is a significantly better Georgia team.

Injuries took a toll on GT. They were down to 6 players who carried the bulk of the minutes. A team needs greater depth to compete.

'A team needs greater depth to compete.'
that's going to be the mantra for the whole kit, kaboodle, lock, stock, and bagel of wbb after this season is completed as that guy, who they named a pizza franchise after, shows how it's done.
our guy.
 
Also, it's not like Texas' road gets any easier against Utah.
 
Iowa State officiating...just horrible. Elbows and hooks just completely ignored.

I don't foresee Dayton challenging Georgia. They had their once in a lifetime shooting game against DePaul. No way they have a 2nd game in a row like that.

Home court advantage in the first weekend is a big deal. I don't see LSU or Tennessee losing at home to the teams they might face.

Wait, what? Someone get the Admins, Plebe’s account has been hacked as of course THE REAL Plebe could always foresee Tennessee losing as he despises them AND he always looks forward to any possible game Kim could lose especially at home as he hopes to see a new record in Jacket tossing!

My Mavericks (of UT Arlington) played their hearts out, led by double digits in the first half and put the fear of god in the Iowa State fans. Sun Belt POY Starr Jacobs had 19 points in the losing effort.

Joens had a huge 36 points and Ryan and Donarski added 20 and 14. Those three accounted for 70 out of ISU's 78 points.

Until they prove otherwise, to me South Carolina is an elite team and the rest of the SEC are pretenders. Mississippi St. was helping carrying the banner for the league while Vic was there but have fallen off a cliff since he left.

That's what I've been saying for four months.

Didn’t realize how often she hooks when she gets on that baseline. It was almost every time. Couldn’t believe it wasn’t called. UTA got hosed with some of those calls.

I guess it makes up for getting the short end of the stick last year in the 2nd rose.

I was ranting for years how the coaches were pretty weak in the SEC for a while but there have been a lot of coaching changes the last two years.

I think Kim will have consistently good teams at LSU but she has done the best she can do given it’s her first year and they won 9 games only the year before.

I love coach Blair but it was time for him to retire. A&M realistically should have a strong program with a good hire

May be an unpopular opinion but Missouri should probably consider making changes if things don’t improve significantly by next year
 
You know how much I love mascots... this is from the men's tournament..... and let this be a warning for LSU's mascot today vs Jackson State. Proceed with caution if asked to a dance-off :D random fact #18 Jackson State's mascot is one of the few who have received a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during a football game.. :eek:


 
What I saw today from South Carolina I have no words, I had to double check I was not day dreaming. 6 pts in the 3rd quarter for Howard? I don't even think those historic Uconn teams ever held a team to that. I said that SC might not be happy losing the Sec title game, but it's going to be the best thing that happened to them. That frustration and anger came out of them tonight.
 
I would much rather have seen South Dakota State, Drexel,Toledo, Liberty and others in the NCAA than all these middle-of-the-road mediocre P5 teams . I'm only surprised they didn't find a way to include Oregon State and a few more. Not picking on Oregon State who has a very good program - just saying it would be a better tournament with less of these undeserving P5 schools represented. Is it because of the money? A larger fan base? I felt like they bent over backwards trying to find a way to include Duke lol

Most overrated conference in WCBB.

I mean Virginia Tech lost to Florida Gulf Coast. Just because Arkansas and Ole Miss are gone does not make it overrated. Nobody even had those teams going far. Florida is without their best player I believe too. Sec has a lot of good teams, but they don't have ntl title contenders aside SC. Still Georgia I thought was impressive today vs Dayton. Instead of discrediting the Sec, maybe more ppl shoulda credited the Pac 12, after all I was told it was "overrated" and not worthy of many of the teams in the tournament by a certain user :)

No doubt, she has had a very successful year 1 at LSU and I expect it will only get better as she adds recruiting classes and transfers there. Maybe soon they will be true competition with South Carolina at the top of the conference.

UConn held St Francis to 4 points in the fourth quarter of its first round game in 2018

Why should Oregon State get a free pass when they did not perform up to the level needed?

Yes, VT lost to FGCU but it was at least competitive and back and forth the entire time. South Dakota and Utah dominated both games from pretty much start to finish. Whether Ole Miss was projected to go far or not, this is a team that finished top 4 in that conference. It really wouldn’t surprise me to see the majority of SEC teams lose in the other first round matchups today. One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of SEC teams struggle guarding the 3ball. I’m wondering if it’s largely due to most of those teams not facing many perimeter oriented offenses in conference.

With the Pac12, I think it’s been the best conference in WCBB for a while now. Tournament success isn’t the only indicator, but one could argue in recent years the Pac12 as a whole has experienced the most success. I’m not sure why the conception is what it is but I’m sure it’s due to many people just not watching the games.
