NCAA Tourney games

I was wrong earlier today about Oregon, but I KNOW it's been a long time since Texas Tech has won a Tourney game.

My heart hurts for Talaysia watching her on the bench behind Caldwell. Come on back home, Coop!

She’s a baller. I haven’t watched a ton of Tennessee but seeing them against State both games I was very impressed with her. Should be on the court 30-35 minutes a game easily IMO. Wish State had her at the 3.
 
State won from tip to buzzer - but Khamil Pierre rolled an ankle and left the game, got taped and came back. Zoe left mid way in the 3rd on a non contact injury - appeared to be an Achilles maybe? She was in a lot of pain. I’m worried she may be done for the season :/
 
You got to be a special kind of stupid to have put money on Tennessee winning a game in this tournament

I am so proud of how NC State responded when Brooks left the game and Tennessee got within 2 points. Destiny Lunan grew up a lot tonight..and we're going to need her if Brooks is done for the year.

30-9 burst in Q4 for the Gophers, 75-58 final.

Minny vs Ole Miss is an interesting match up.

10,000+ saw the Gophers win today. A really fun environment (and nearly 60 degree temp when leaving is a crazy March bonus in Minneapolis). Guessing/hoping 12,000+ is possible Sunday for Ole Miss. If Coach P can really get in going in Minneapolis, Minnesota may become another attendance juggernaut. It's been awhile, but before the Caitlin Clark era, Minnesota and Wisconsin were at/near the top of the Big Ten in terms of historical single-season attendance records.

Geee, what could explain it? Gobs of NIL, super conferences, and endless transfer portaling, perhaps?

Begs the question, was the result the law of unintended consequences, or was it planned out having a very good idea how it would go?

We used to get a few. Seems like there's been a seismic shift recently, almost no upsets or mid majors advancing at all anymore.

A number of the mid major better players hit the transfer portal and that weakens those teams chances of upsetting the higher seeded teams.

I don’t think you can answer your question looking only at women’s basketball. Look at the money in mbb. If the answers are the same, your questions become relevant.

I’ve watched plenty. She’s had way too many no shows. She’s zoned out numerous times. For her sake, she needs to hit the portal to improve her W stock

Ah yes the portal. Geno and many other coaches would look at Cooper’s performance history and pass. Where exactly will she end up that would provide her with the discipline she needs to develop a pro-ready game, and would she actually submit to that discipline?

Cooper has regressed badly this year from a season ago when she was pretty good. She’s had some big games. But she’s also had some games where she disappeared, like at UConn, matched up against Azzi, who took her to the cleaners.

3 school transfer kids are problems. Just look at the inconsistency of Barker and the non-impact of Wolfenbarger at TN. I have no doubt that Cooper will look to go elsewhere. Whether that does anything for her ability to land a job in the W is questionable imo.

@YoDore

Can you do me a favor? Would it be possible for you to get in touch with your coach and players to let them know to take it easy on High Point tonight? If they want to rest the starters after the 3rd quarter, that would be welcomed and appreciated. 😎

Not taking a dig at Duke, but that stat really surprised me. Genuinely had assumed this would have been UConn.

So I heard about this record yesterday watching the Blue Devils game, and naturally enough I wondered about UConn's record in 1st round games. Overall the Huskies are 34-2, and they haven't lost a 1st round game in 31 consecutive seasons...........Just sayin..........

So how is it that ESPN lists Duke? I'm genuinely perplexed.

There was chatter on the men's side when they noted Michigan State had made 28 straight appearances. Kansas fans disputed this noting that their team made it 34 times, but apparently that's not accurate because one of their seasons was vacated because of rule violations.

Well, technically Duke hasn’t lost in 28 appearances. UConn has lost, twice, the last time in 1993, after which they won 31 straight times. So it’s up to each of us to decide which streak is more impressive.

This is the context I didn't catch when I read your last response. An oversight on my part. From that perspective, I get it. Personally, both are impressive to me.

Dude........................😂🤦‍♀️ I get the game this season still stings but the sight of a long line up hours before the home team plays is a beautiful thing to see for this sport.

It's great to see. I always love seeing big crowds for wbb regardless of friend or foe. By the way, I have nothing but great respect for coal miners. I took a tour of a WV coal mine last summer and it was incredible the conditions they have to work under
