Oregon vs Miss State (merged thread)

[Zorro]

with 4 min to play.

 

[Shorty Dee]

I am rooting so hard for them.

 

[SLY63]

Ionescu is really playing well

 

[boontonbomber]

Ok, let's choose up sides. I'll take Sabrina.

 

[Zorro]

Ducks up 4 1 min to go

 

[TheFarmFan]

One correction - they are just Ducks. Same as the men. Equally important as the men's team, and lately, much better. That "lady" stuff doesn't fly on this side of the Rocky mountains, because the women's teams are equally important to the men's

Very impressive to knock off Mississippi State twice in one season. Oregon VS Baylor should be a treat.

 

[Shorty Dee]

Two number 1's out!!

 

[dtbtbtb]

Sabrina Ionescu is a special player!!!

 

[UcMiami]

After the S16 held chalk with all #1s and #2s advancing, the elite eight is proving that the two most questionable #1 seeds were indeed questionable. I wonder how Louisville would have done as the #1 seed in Oregon and MsSt as the 2 in Albany.

So much for the committee trying to dis Uconn!

 

[Sven23]

Ionescu won NPOY today, if people had not cast their vote yet. Runs the pick and roll like a pro., deep range , etc... WNBA execs are licking their lips. If your team needs a PG, you shoudbe looking to trade up for the #1 pick.

Mississippi State & Louisville fought all season to earn a #1 seed. But their reward was to be sent to the regionals in the #2 seed's backyard.

Well the prognosticators were correct about louisville being the first number one out if only by few hours.

It did seem to boil down to who was playing their best at the end. Many teams were generally equal. Actually Uconn getting a two in Albany turned out really well for them. What seemed like the toughest bracket turned our as relatively easy. Louisville was not playing well at all. They also did not shoot well against Oregon St. but Oregon St was just shooting worse.

Please--there is no such team called the Lady Ducks. That may be correct in Knoxville, but not in Eugene.

 

[Hongster]

Happy for Oregon but even more happy not to see those long eyelashes and tough looking body tattoos.

Don't count out Iowa taking out a Baylor team that hasn't played anyone since Uconn early on the year. The Big 12 was terrible.

Well they can always use that as an excuse.

They won't make excuses, but I am happy that UCONN wasn't a #1 seed in the Oregon region.

We feel your pain. We fans have been complaining about the Lady Husky moniker for, well, decades

As usual, the cream* always rises to the top!!!

Anyone know where a replay of the game can be had for those who missed it?

(UCONN game is there too although NOT nearly as nice as MJL's edit of the game)

The Aces' (with the #1 pick in this year's WNBA draft) head coach and general manager "trader" Bill Laimbeer's phone is ring now. Laimbeer has expressed his need/want for a BIG (McCowan/Brown), however, he may entertain a trade offer he can't refuse, like a veteran BIG that is productive and can still play, and then sweeten the pot by throwing in their 1st round draft choice.

Any post game press conference links?

A big for the Aces actually would be a mistake IMO.. Wilson doesn't want a big clogging her space, she played better at SC when they played her alone w/o Coates.

Oops. Got my creams mixed up. Thanks jaydee. Corrected.

I agree. Mississippi State definitely got the short end of the stick. That being said, Oregon and Notre Dame to me seem like the team to beat. I would give Oregon the advantage. They seem to be on a mission and the least vulnerable.

Post season play does not factor into the NPOY awards.
