I hope I am wrong, but Maryland (both men and women) seem to find a way to lose big games lately.
 
Texas A&M vs LSU on SECN 7PM today for all the Carter watchers who want to see if she gets it under control or goes rogue.

Just turned on the tOSU battle with the Turtles only to discover that Brenda is doing a new thing with her hair.

That’s all I’ve got for now. :rolleyes:

Oh you missed the pre-game speech? That's OK the hair is new but the speech isn't. :p
 
I mean come on.....

Mcguff has called 2 timeouts and still no one is guarding Christinaki. She has 5 3’s and 21 points with 7 minutes in the 2nd!
 
Kelsey Mitchell just passed Maya Moore on the all time scoring list!! EDD is next.

I missed the speech also, but I'm sure it's the standard, "let's go out and play Maryland basketball!" :D

Yea, I love Brenda’s inspiring pre-game speeches. Too bad I missed tonight’s. I’ve only seen them prior to the Turtles being rendered roadkill by the Huskies.
 
Noticing on offense for Ohio State. Kelsey Mitchell dribbles around and the rest of the team just stands around. Oddest thing.
 
I hope tOSU can score good tickets for the FF. :confused:

Might be appropriate to mention my vote was MD. :D
 
Buckeye soup being simmered. No, wait. Boiled. Full, rolling boiled. Wowzers.

Does tOSU care if they win or lose?? Such a lackluster performance.
 
99-69 Maryland final

Charles 32 pts, 7 reb, 1 ast, 3 blk
Christinaki 26 pts, 8 reb, 1 stl

Mitchell 15 pts, 1 reb, 7 ast, 2 stl
 
Box scores don't come close to telling you everything about a game, but just perusing it tOSU actually had more balanced scoring than Maryland did. All 5 starters in double figures between 10-15 points. Mitchell only has 13 FGA (maybe she should take lessons from T A&M's Carter?) and had 7 assists. Not really seeing this lopsided offense that is being referred to. Maryland had 4 in double figures, 1 off the bench, but two players w/ 32 and 26 respectively. Obviously what Maryland did worked because they won in a blowout.

I think Mitchell is falling off the pace to catch Plum, which is fine w/ me. Coming into the game she had 480 thru 19 games, averaging 25.3. Scored 15 today. I think she needed just short of 1000 on the season. Can't see this tOSU team making a deep run, in the Tourney so I think 20 games is well over the halfway mark for them. Only 10 regular season games left, then conference tourney and NCAA Tourney.

Rocky, I would tend to agree, but schools just don’t fire WBB coaches for losing. If they did, there’d be a bunch of them looking for jobs.

I’ve never heard Mitchell say that she is chasing Plum’s record but maybe I just missed that?
 
What a smackdown from start to finish. Nice win by the Turtles. Mystifying perf9rmance by tOSU. Sort of like they were sleepwalking thru the game. But in some ways that's what happens when your coaches allow Mitchell to basically do what she wants on the court. I know she does dish for some assists, but she plays like she's never been taught the concept of true team ball - and it's possible she hasn't...
