NCAA Tourney games

Can you elaborate on this? Wasn't able to watch the game because you know... my job.

Refs called excessive contact that was reviewed. She was down on court, holding her throat, and iMO, the UVA player got her in the chest. IN addition, at 2 OT tip off, an Iowa player undercut a VA player and it wasn't called. Doesn't matter, cuz the Hoos won!

Virginia advances to its first Sweet 16 in 26 years with an 83-75 upset of 2-seed Iowa in front of 15,000 stunned fans in only the 9th multiple-OT game in NCAA Tournament history.

I can't believe it has been that long since Virginia won two games in a row in the NCAAT.

Huge win for that once-proud program and for the ACC.

To add — UVA was the first group of 4 team to win a NCAA tourney game. Now they’ve won 2! No matter what happens here on out, they should hold their heads high. A marvelous tournament for them.

Being a 2 seed at home hasn’t been kind to Iowa. They’ve lost twice in the last five tournaments.

This loss will be really disappointing to Iowa fans but it’s disappointing because Iowa outperformed expectations almost all year. No one had them as a 2 seed coming into the season. Some people say your seed doesn’t mean anything, but it’s a marker of your body of work. Agree next year they’ve got to break through to the second weekend but I like where they’re going
 
We were all complaining about all the blowouts in the opening round...but the second round has featured some fantastic, exciting one-possession games.

I think another thing husky98 was frustrated about was that the foul was called on review, not live. UVA had the rebound and, iirc, were already down the court. Stulke was still down on Iowa's end of the court but then ran all the way down to the other end and got the rebound after a missed shot by UVA.
 
Great win for Virginia, but has me thinking that Duke got a raw deal with being paired with L$U vs Iowa, Michigan or even Vanderbilt
 
My “loyalty” to the B1G will likely never match my loyalty to the PAC-12, the late lamented Conference of Champions. At this point I’m just enjoying the competition. So Virginia earning their way in is fine. They played well.

I find it ironic they've gotten further than Lattimore did with Ole Miss. Coach Mox did a lot for her with respect to helping improve her overall game in that one season.

Iowa killing multiple parlays since 4/23/26. Won't be trusting them next season. Anyway I think UVA has a great chance vs TCU. The Frogs didn't impress me last night at all, haven't been too impressed with them all season. It would be crazy if UVA went further in the bracket than any other ACC school
 
Hannah is dismantling tOSU, one of her best all-around games. And the worst part is that tOSU seems not to have developed any scout on her when she has the ball. They regularly allow her to go to her right. In my book, a team as poorly prepared as tOSU appears to be doesn't deserve to win. Otherwise, their personnel is superior to ND. They ought to win this game. But they won't.

Hold up, we're in April???? Damn, I'm behind on filing my taxes!!!! 😉
 
And to the post by @triaddukefan about putting respect on the ACC's name, Duke and Notre Dame were seen as dead in the water earlier this season. Now, they're both in the Sweet Sixteen, wallopping both Baylor and Ohio State respectively. Anyone questioning the coaching abilities of Coach Lawson and Coach Ivey now???

HeeeeeeyCC. Domers deliver the fifth Sweet Sixteen team alongside Duke, Carolina, Louisville and UVA. Suddenly feeling a bit better about losing to 4 of those 5 teams this season...

Biggest one was injured scoring guard.

Barring transfers, whole roster back next year with this year of tough experience. Trygger/Pierre and all those guards.

There has been a lot of debate between State fans about next years roster.

I’m with you, biggest issue yesterday was no Zoe Brooks. That game got out of hand because State struggled against the pressure. Michigan wins I’m sure with Zoe out there too, but that press would not have worked the same if she’s there - she’s the calming presence against that sort of defense. Michigans is better than Tennessees but twice this year she carved their pressure up. Zam is fine against pressure when she has a running mate - asking true freshman KyShe to be that secondary ball handler was too tall a task. She’s turnover prone and she fouled out only playing 14 minutes. So yeah, that was a rough go for the Pack.

To your second point - on paper I agree. Everyone returns from that group and add 2 top 100 freshmen and you’d imagine State would be back where they typically are in the top 10. But … if you’ve watched State this year the pieces don’t fit well. Zoe and Zam are both more score first guards. That’s totally fine if you have a Saniya Rivers type who is content to be the facilitator from the wing - but State doesn’t have that. Everyone looking to create for themselves too much. And it was a poor defensive team too often.

I’m very interested to see what happens this off season. I also suspect Zoe, Zam, KP and Tilda will have opportunities to earn more $ elsewhere. Not sure State can or should spend to bring all 4 back - if you pay what that takes do you have enough to fill out the holes in the roster ? I have no inside info but I’m guessing Zam or Zoe is back and the other cashes in elsewhere. I assume Tilda is back. I really hope KP is back. We’ll see.

For today let’s just pretend Syracuse is still in the Big East considering its 45-8 currently and I’m feeling proud of the ACC.

Awesome win for UVa and ND. UVA has had the talent all year. I really like the make up of that team they just never had put it together. Nice to see them playing their best ball of the year when it matters most.
