Night Cap Games

[RockyMTblue2]

If Kansas is really creating the blueprint, then it shows you just how weak Del's schedule has been this year. (And yet some thought they should get a #2 seed.)

Get out of the top 10 and it's just a game night crap shoot....IMHO

ESPN in NY stinks! They start with Duke on both ESPN2 and ESPNU. Then ESPN2 switches to St. Johns when that game starts.

Duke game ends first. So what does ESPNU do? Right, switch to the St. Johns, which is now on both stations.

Are these guys brain dead, or what? Especially after all the hype for the Delaware game....

I'll be glad when there's only one game at a time. ESPN will still probably screw it up.

Hell of a halftime buzzer beater by edd.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Will the Lady Lions ever get a more emancipated name? Nittany Lionesses... yeah that's a lot of esings...ssses...ah shucks

 

[HuskyFan1125]

hypothetical question? Assuming all parties move forward, could Duke beat Stanford?

Deleware was at the half the same time as Duke

Duke roasting Vandy, 44-22! And still 4 min to go in 1st half.

So much for Duke not having an offense.

Duke has 56 at the half. Last year, it took them THREE halves to score that many against us.

Missed it. Please describe. She is definitely an offensive force.

 

[alexrgct]

Missed it. Please describe. She is definitely an offensive force.

She dribbled downcourt and had to launch out of rhythm and not really squared from the top of the arc. Nailed it.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Did LSU not scout Maggie Lucas? 5 for 6 on treys--in the first half! She has 19 of the team's 36.

 

[alexrgct]

Not to beat a dead horse, but...strictly basketball-wise, EDD was born to play for UConn.

Thanks. I've seen her take a lot of shots not squared up--too many in my opinion. Squared up, she is as good as anyone, possibly better. From 25' and in.

That hurts. Been sublimating suppressing distilling and blocking out quite nicely 'til now wise guy.

Years of therapy ruined!

 

[sarals24]

It makes me a little queasy to think how good UConn would have been the past few years with her. Oh well.

That said, Delaware doesn't play very good team D and KU is getting a lot of open looks and knocking them down. They obviously read their scouting reports and have effectively doubled down on EDD.

That no look pass out of the double team by her leading to a layup was pretty amazing, though.

 

[MilfordHusky]

No question. But the Antitrust Division might have come after Geno. Tina, Maya, Elena, et al. might have simply been unfair. Tony's 195-0 prediction might have been an underestimate.

 

[MilfordHusky]

EDD had only 9 of the team's 35 shots. Not enough.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Del simply gone flat...but it ain't over.

 

[sarals24]

EDD looks tired. Bad pass on the break, getting double teamed every time. Maybe a 3 seed was too high?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

EDD had only 9 of the team's 35 shots. Not enough.

They just agreed with you.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

EDD had only 9 of the team's 35 shots. Not enough.

her teammates are not looking for her, they are just shooting.

 

[alexrgct]

Bad, bad foul there by KU. If you're going to foul, hold EDD's arms down.

 

[sarals24]

The thing that is really noticeable while watching these two teams is just the level of intensity. I know that's hard to quantify, but watching UConn it almost makes you take for granted how hard the players go every possession. Diving for loose balls, helpside defense, traps, rebounds, blocking out...and it's every time down the floor. KU and UD have both had stretches where they play hard, but it's definitely not a sustained effort like UConn gives.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Kansas has to try to spread the floor so more to give the guards more driving room.

And that's why teams like K-State feel like the run into a buzz saw the first time they play UConn.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Like that.

 

[sarals24]

UConn would beat both these teams by 20+.

 

[alexrgct]

UConn would beat both these teams by 20+.

at the same time.

 

[alexrgct]

Again. Another terrible foul by KU on edd.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

EDD is a remarkable player. If only........

 

[MilfordHusky]

EDD is not a player you want to foul. It's like giving away points.
