OR vs MD game thread

[JordyG]

Remember when Geno called a time out or took a clock violation so Muffet could wake up for her Seniors?

Yeah. Another difference between a good coach and a great one.

 

[JustinesGuy]

I really like I, she is a wonderful talent.

I think uconn team defense will limit her over dribbling.

Happy Maryland lost, there coach is annoying although there assistant coach has potential.

From the looks of her current roster and incoming freshmen MD doesn't seem to be much of a threat until Austin comes in 2018. Frese will never forget a QFinal game where her team didn't make a single 3 and her seniors failed to lift them and execute through adversity.

9 points, 3 assists with 5 turnovers (21 overall) by Slocom didn't help the situation. Let's give Oregon credit here, I am very impressed with the coach and team composure. Too bad the Clock strikes 12 on Monday at 7 PM...

Shocked at this result. Thought Maryland had the superior talent and their experience would win this game. Where was the Destiny Slocum that was fearless against UConn in front of their home crowd? She played like a freshmen today and at no time did I think she was trying to take over the game to bring Maryland back into the game.

Have to first beat UCLA before we start any conversations about UConn vs Oregon.

Congrats to the Quackettes! Their reward...right coast Huskies in the Elite 8. I guess Maryland was depressed because their fans couldn't figure out how to click onto StubHub.

 

[uconnever]

The interviews to open the game had I believe Frese and some players talking about playing Uconn again......How embarrassing.

 

[Vowelguy]

UConn game will start 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Oregon/ Maryland game.

So yes, 2 PM start.

And if the game ended at 1:15, it would be 1:45.

 

[jdubct]

Hallelujah! Oregon is a worthy opponent for Uconn (assuming and I hope that Uconn beats UCLA). As a many have posted, Maryland was outcoached and outplayed. They came here all the way across country welcoming the opportunity to play. Hats off to Oregon.

 

[NHFan]

At least Maryland won't need extra tickets for Monday

How did this Oregon team lose 13 games? Great game and execution... Looks like Oregon is going to hold on and advance to Elite 8.

I'll answer your question....because Oregon plays in the PAC-12. Eat it Andy Landers.

 

[JustinesGuy]

Oregon celebrating in the lockeroom ha ha.

Premature celebration IMHO.

Because they play in a tough conference?

 

[jonson]

Indeed. Force Ionescu to dribble drive. Make her give up the ball. Box out and make OU's guards defend. And work inside out to Jones. Take advantage of OU's inexperience inside. Push the pace. OU has been playing a lot of hurry up and wait. Make them hurry up on both ends.

Just as an FYI, it's UO not OU. The latter is Oklahoma University.

 

[topogigio]

Great game plan and execution by Oregon. They also played great defense, but in total, Maryland choked!

 

[Gus Mahler]

This game looks over. MD has turned the ball over 17x. They've stuck to the 2/3 which has allowed OU to shoot and hit open 3's. Kimbrough has looked terrible. Slocum has looked average.

Seventeen turnovers and Oregon got their hands on a lot of passes. Channeling Chong. The Gift of Gabby.

OK. OUINNipiac

 

[Vowelguy]

Am curious why everyone is so quick to say that MD was outcoached or choked.
Is it not possible that Oregon's players, you know, played better?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon celebrating in the lockeroom ha ha.

Premature celebration IMHO.

A bunch of young players and a program without much tradition. Elite 8 is a big deal for many schools. Let 'em celebrate.

OR played their game - MD could not dictate tempo because of it and that was the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Not bad for the 5th best team from the Pac 12. Hopefully somebody from the Pac gets Maryland in the Tourney every year, that seems to be working out pretty well lately.

 

[mntncougar]

UCLA - Uconn thread?

 

[bizarro aj]

I said from day one that Maryland was overrated, now they can stop worrying about uconn.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Heck, they barely got by Temple in the 1st round. Then they made Maryland look like a 14 seed.

Yup. They've made Temple look pretty good, which they were.

 

[rugbymate]

Congrats Oregon! Well deserved.....have to say this, after the UCONN/MD game a number of posters were wondering aloud if Slocum was the #1 PG recruit vs Crystal Dangerfield.....ain't no way

There is no question, Oregon was the better team. Period. How anyone could arrive at a different conclusion, I would love to hear the supporting evidence.
