I mean...I think that team could compete in the Olympics. And do...well.

Delaware is in a world of trouble.

This confirms what I thought about them. If they played in a competitive league, they'd have some excellent wins and some wtf losses.

Hens shaken and baked. EDD carrying too heavy a load.

If Delaware pulls this out fire the Kansas coach.

Lol. Gotta chuckle at all the statements in recent weeks that Del is the "real deal". I'm not even sure they're a top 20 team.

This is why you can't reward teams with weak schedules - you just have no idea how good they are.

Well they did beat Penn State and St B, but it's easier to get up for the tough games when you don't have the grind of playing a tough schedule.

Those also were early in the season when teams would've had little tape on DE.

Delaware's offense the last few minutes has mystified me - think they went about 5 straight possessions without EDD even touching the ball.

I'm not a coach or anything, but if you have the best offensive player in all of college basketball, you might want to...um...find a way to get her shots at the end of a ball game.

Just a thought.

Omg, Kansas did not just foul EDD on a desperation three.

When you've got a mediocre coach and surrounded by mediocre players, these things happen.

4 Kansas players out on the perimeter trying to stop EDD from getting off a 3. She shoots and yet KS *still* easily gets the rebound. WTF were the other DE players doing?

We all make our choices. I suspect and hope that EDDs are unshaken by tonight's loss. There never was a what might have been here.

I predicted back in December that Delaware would be a 3 seed. Since I crowed about that prediction, let me in fairness give credit to all of those who said they wouldn't get far in the tournament.

You was right!

I really believe that EDD made the coach look good, not the reverse. Did UDel run any screens for Elena?

I'm skeptical, but I suppose anything is possible.

Anytime a team makes a play every single solitary time they need to like Penn State did tonight...well you have my attention. Doing it on the road in the NCAA's against a solid team? You really have attention. PSU has great guards and skilled big girls and play hard and are well coached. They also have the mentality to put points on the board which sadly most of womens basketball doesnt have. They have my complete attention. I thought they showed great poise everytime LSU came out them.
