NCAA Tourney games

Tend to agree. Home court advantage may be unfair, but when they went to neutral courts for opening rounds, attendance wasn't good. You can see it even with teams hosting, in the other games when the home team isn't playing, the crowd gets fairly sparse.
 
It's not like I thought Texas Tech had any chance, but this is pathetic. Michigan-NC State turned into a laugher in the 2nd half as well. Maybe in the 3rd Round we'll get some competitive games?

It will definitely be a talking point if all 16 home teams advance.

I don’t know about how your bracket looks. But Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Maryland were the only road teams I predicted would advance. And now I only have Kentucky left. Other possible upsets… maybe Washington? I don’t even know who it could be tbh.

That was me. With 9 players available, one of the starters has to be on the floor at all times. Looks like Latson got the short straw this game.


Great analysis! I think Li Yeuru is a great comp though I think Betts is slightly stronger and more athletic.

I agree with the Audi analysis as well. Crooks make a good college player but it won't translate to the next level.

Too slow, but an immovable object. Can not guard at a high level at all. Can you imagine her trying to defend Strong?

Probably good gamesin the Elite 8. Might be under 20 in the Sweet 16.

Well, I didn't even fill out a bracket. So I'm perfect!

I'd be really surprised if Washington pulls the upset today.
 
Duke and LSU blasting two big 12 teams right now is making the conference look like it isn’t as strong as the other 3 majors. So, maybe tcu and West Virginia are in danger.

We were watching her play last night, as I previously saw clips of her not playing much defense. I love her deft footwork around the rim. Perhaps you are correct, however WNBA GMs sometimes see things we don't. I guess we'll find out in April.

I think you are talking about Crooks? She has one more year of eligibility.

I also don’t see her as a wnba player.

Duke is beating down lsu next week. The tigers won’t be able to handle this pressure defense
 
LSU beat Duke handily early in the season, but the Devils were really struggling back then. Obviously have improved. LSU runs up the score any time they can, so their MOV might look impressive. To me they still have a lot to prove. 1-5 this year against South Carolina, Texas, Vandy and Kentucky. They really haven't shown much ability to beat the better teams.

I still like both of their chances of getting to the Sweet 16. Both of their opponents are inconsistent, and home court counts.

Okananwa was asked about that at the post-game and she said that she likes to be coached hard like that. She had nothing but praise for Frese.
