Oregon (9) @ Miss St (5) Tonite

[YellwJcket999]

Prediction: Sabally will replace McQuire in starting lineup very soon.

I would bet a nice sum of money on that.

 

[YellwJcket999]

Vivians for Threeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[Vowelguy]

ND could not bring the ball the ball to half court vs MSU. And USC east is missing two/three key starters from last years team..

If they are that much better than ND, then they should be ranked #1, because UConn is only slightly better than the Irish.

[Ozzie1986]

2018/2019 Oregon starting lineup?

PG Cazorla 5'10 (Sr)
SG Ionescu 5'10 (Jr)
SF Sabally 6'4 (Soph)
PF Hebard 6'4 (Jr)
C McGwire 6'5 (Jr)

Vivians having quite the second half: 26 points on 9-11 shooting. Geezus.

 

[nwhoopfan]

At least Oregon is challenging themselves with true road games against top-tier competition, something that can be said of no other top team except Notre Dame (at UConn) and Baylor (at UCLA).

Maybe it's a Pac 12 thing. Stanford has played @ Ohio St and Baylor. Oregon St. @ Duke. Washington @ Ohio St. Cal @ UConn.

It always seems like the Pac-12 teams play about 2 or 3 times as many marquee OOC games on the road as they do at home.

Um. And maybe UConn too?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon shooting 55% from the floor, 47% behind the arc, scored 79 points and trailing by double figures. Just couldn't stop MSU from scoring. 65 combined points for McCowan and Vivians on 25-33 from the floor.

 

[Plebe]

Um. And maybe UConn too?

Sorry, yes. UConn is in such a class by themselves I don't even include them in this type of discussion

 

[BigBird]

This thing wasn’t close after the first 5 minutes. Again, we see the gap between the top 5 or so teams, and the rest of the top 25. UO isn’t that bad, but surely looked bad tonight.

Seems likely. Bando is the only Sr. Lineup gets quite a bit bigger replacing her w/ Sabally. Would have to be one of the tallest starting lineups in the country.

Satou looks every bit as skilled as AS. She's very quick and has very good handles.
OU will be a very good team for the next couple of years.

Ionescu doesn't quite hit all of my expectations. She's a good all around player. Competitive.

Well, it was 32-31 approaching halftime before MSU went on a 11-0 run. I think that qualifies as close, and it was definitely more than 5 minutes into the game.

Elsewhere in WCBB:

I'm noticing in the box score of the Texas game that McCarty appears to be absent. I wonder if she's injured or sick or what gives.

 

[BostonCanuck]

Great game tonight for the very appreciative fans at the Hump. McCowan - 35 points, 19 rebounds and 5 blocks! To me, MSU earned the number three ranking tonight. I expect they'll thrash Tennessee, and their matchup against conference rival South Carolina on February 5 looms very large.

Correction accepted, thanks.

I think you'd have to watch more than 1 game to really appreciate her. Coming into the game she was averaging 17 points 7 rebs 8 assists per game, 48% from the floor and 53% behind the arc. That's pretty darn impressive all around stats, I think tonight was a bit of an off game for her. And MSU is one of the toughest defensive teams in the country.

I will give Ionescu credit for only 1 foul at this game.

So how does UConn match up with MSU this year?

The Tennessee-MSU game is in Knoxville and might be closer than you think. I'd expect a blowout if they were playing in Starkville. Both of these teams have gotten *very* comfortable playing at home.

Problem is that Harris last year had her way with Miss. St. and Aja neutralized McCowan and Bianca Cuevas-Moore always disrupts itty bitty. Maybe a little bias, but I still put UConn, ND, and South Carolina ahead of them. Just sayin..
