The Troy Trojans are trouncing the Lady Bucs 50-30 in the 3rd Q. The Lady Vols squeaked by the Lady Bucs 72-68 earlier this year.

Did Erica Haynes-Overton play for Lady Bucs against Troy Trojans? If not, then that's not the same Lady Bucs team the Lady Vols squeaked by earlier this year.

Looks like Haynes-Overton did play, but only 13 minutes and had 5 points and 4 turnovers.

I haven't seen ETSU play this year, so I just looked her up. She didn't play in this game, and in fact she's only played in 4 games this year. I didn't realize she'd scored a whopping 41 points against the Lady Vols. After that she scored 23 vs. Liberty, 19 vs. High Point, and only 8 vs. NC A&T.

But she hasn't played since. This article says she's "out indefinitely with a knee injury," and her coach says she might not return this season:

With Haynes-Overton out, ETSU women fall to Radford

Erica Haynes-Overton could only sit and watch as her East Tennessee State teammates took on Radford in a Thursday morning matinee.

Which box score are you finding that in? The one I'm seeing doesn't show her name anywhere.

The West Coast Conference will likely be a one-bid conference, unless perhaps Pacific can bounce back from its loss to Cal State Bakersfield with a win at UCLA on Sunday, or BYU can shock Oregon State when they play in Hawai'i just before Christmas .

I notice that BYU is 2-4 against D1 teams. Their 3rd win was over the Javelinas of Texas A&M Kingsville, a D2 school formerly known as Texas A&I, which is where my father started college.

The WCC is really not having a good OOC collectively. Some bad losses combined w/ a lack of quality wins. I think Gonzaga is the only team in the conference w/ any hope of getting an at large bid, if they don't win the conference tourney. But they don't have the marquee win like they did over Stanford last year (or Rutgers). Purdue is their best to date. They have Missouri St. coming up. Losing to BYU (or any WCC team) would hurt them more this year than it did last season.

You are correct. I was looking at the wrong player.

I can't help but wonder if our own @triaddukefan made the trek to Buies Creek this morning to watch "his Camels" host Bluefield College on "screaming kids day":

I guess they must ship the kids in from around the county... cause Buies Creek is a small place... probably a couple thousand citizens at most.

FSU has a win over TAMU...a win over Florida, LSU, and Michigan State....(as the best so far in OOC).

The game against St. John's on the 15th is the next..

Michigan on the 22nd is the last OOC before the ACC schedule kicks in.

My Aggies are leading My Spartans 49-46 with a little over 2 minutes to play. Sounds like a rock-fight over in Corbett

Looks like the Carolina Aggies pulled away in the last couple minutes. Won the Battle of the Boro.

Rutgers is in a tighter than expected game with Southern, up 24-20 in 2Q.

 

[triaddukefan]

Aggies win the battle of the Boro. 57-48. Time to celebrate with BBQ Chicken, french fries, Apple Cider, and brownies.

And if your Spartans had won the game, what would the celebration have been?

I wonder if it's too late for Tennessee to get Wesleyan College on their schedule for next year?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oof. Tennessee St. @ Arizona is off to an ugly start. Combined 1-10 or 1-11 from the field. Is it me? Hawaii @ Washington was horrible, that was the last game I streamed. At least Arizona is missing half of it's FT attempts as well. 6-2 Cats at first media TO.

Tennessee State is a truly awful team. 0-6 against D-I teams so far this year. Lost by 50 to Vanderbilt.

Barnes has gotta upgrade this schedule. Not fitting of a top 20 team at all.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona started making some shots, but it's mostly Cate Reese. She has 12 of their 17, TSU only has 6.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Totally agreed. They have to beat some of the upper level Pac 12 teams or they might not be deemed to have an at large worthy resume.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Crazy sequence w/ about 4 TOs in 30 seconds or so.

Apparently you can jump on an opposing players back and ride them like a horse and it's not a foul.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Barnes can't be happy with this performance. Very sloppy. McDonald is not having a good game. 25-11 Arizona, Reese w/ 14 points. UA has 11 TOs and shooting 2-9 behind the arc. TSU is only 3-18 overall. That's UW level shooting right there.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aari who? Reese has 19 points on 8-10 shooting. That was a better stretch, now up 35-13.

37-18 Arizona now at the end of the first half. While tonight's opposition is not strong, Arizona's defensive commitment is much improved this season. Overall talent level for the Wildcats is also noticeably better than in the past two seasons.

If McDonald is on during conference games in Tucson, look for Arizona to make life uncomfortable for the four PAC-12 teams currently ranked above them. Aari with 9 points and 9 boards so far in the first half. Her quickness allows her to rebound surprisingly well for a 5'6' point guard.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McDonald on triple double watch--9 pts 9 boards 7 TOs . 37-18 at halftime.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Overall talent level for the Wildcats is also noticeably better than in the past two seasons.

I don't know about compared to last year. McDonald, Reese, McBryde and Thomas are the heart of the roster both seasons. I think Carter for Starks is a downgrade. I do like the look of Pueyo and some of the other Fr. have shown some potential.

 

[nwhoopfan]

TSU got it to 14 early in Q3, but the lead has ballooned to 29. Alonso giving some really good minutes off the bench in relief at PG on a night when McDonald is out of sorts.

edit--59-25 thru Q3, the Cats really took off when Aari went to the bench with her 3rd foul. I'm sure that's just a fluke in this particular game, but it was noticeable.

BBQ Chicken, french fries, Apple Cider, and brownies.


So NCA&T next 3 games will be interesting @Akron @Clemson @ VCU before conference play starts. If they can sweep these 3.... perhaps they could rise above being a 16th seed. if they make the tourney.
