"Other" games of note, Week 2 (Nov. 12-18)

[nwhoopfan]

This game is UGLY. No flow, both teams turning it over, both teams shooting poorly.

This game is UGLY. No flow, both teams turning it over, both teams shooting poorly.

I'm telling you, it's the curse of Missy Barlow. She's the worst ref I've ever seen in WCBB. I would gladly contribute $100 to her early (read: immediate) retirement fund. She makes games unwatchable because both teams just get totally out of rhythm.

 

[DefenseBB]

Rutgers beats Harvard 74-46.

Well a few things come to mind, RU is better than Cal. RU was a pathetic 3/16 from 3 Pt and Maori Davenport only played 8 min-odd in that she’s supposed to be good.

 

[nwhoopfan]

31-28 GU at halftime. Both teams were stuck at 20 for quite a while, finally started scoring again. Much of it was from the FT line. Maybe in the 2nd half a basketball game will break out.

edit--Stanford is 2-14 behind the arc, brutal

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford continuing where they left off--0-5 in a hurry to start Q3. Who is this team?

 

[triaddukefan]

Guess i'd better see how this game goes before I submit my BY Poll for this week

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jones maybe finally getting Stanford going w/ 3 buckets. 37-36 GU 4:46 Q3, Stanford possession after the media TO.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I don't know if the box score is right, shows 5 fouls on one of the Wirth twins from GU already.

 

[nwhoopfan]

43-39 Stanford, Jones w/ her 4th layup of the quarter. Most on drives, one was a back door cut.

 

[nwhoopfan]

GU drills a 3 at the buzzer, 45-43 Stanford after 3 quarters.

 

[Lorcan]

I don't know if the box score is right, shows 5 fouls on one of the Wirth twins from GU already.

The Play by Play shows that she got two Techs so, that somehow got her to 5, maybe?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lee Ann Wirth apparently picked up a technical in mid-3Q and then a personal foul about a minute later to foul out.

I saw Kiana Williams shooting technical FTs coming back from a media TO, announcer didn't really clue me on what happened.

I saw Kiana Williams shooting technical FTs coming back from a media TO, announcer didn't really clue me on what happened.

Apparently the official box score just got corrected. She's listed as having 4 fouls now.

Well a few things come to mind, RU is better than Cal. RU was a pathetic 3/16 from 3 Pt and Maori Davenport only played 8 min-odd in that she’s supposed to be good.

She's still finding her way, plus she's playing behind a senior that has really improved in the off-season. And we didn't shoot the ball very well, compared to our last 2 games where we shot 12-23 and 11-25 from 3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Is it my imagination or are there way more players on the ground than usual this game? Seems like almost every possession at least 1 or 2 players end up on the floor. I'm wondering if the court is a little slippery or something. This has just been a strange game.

52-49 Stanford 4:27 left, final media TO.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lexie w/ a big 3 to put Stanford up 58-56 1:27 left.

 

[Lorcan]

TBH, I think they're mostly just flopping. I noticed a few Stanford players make uncharacteristically aggressive motions in response to minimal contact, presumably to try to draw the foul. It happens when you think your acting can get you a free trip to the lane or a charge called on the offense.

We'll call it the Missy effect. This has been a strange game on several counts. I haven't quite put my thoughts together on it just yet.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford is 7-15 from the FT line

 

[nwhoopfan]

Townsend with a big 3 to tie it at 60. 47 seconds left.

 

[Plebe]

Ah gotta love it when the live stream only shows the "MAKE NOISE" graphic rather than actual play on the most important possession in crunch time.

 

[nwhoopfan]

The stream is showing the score board rather than the game in the closing seconds. Morons.

FTs for GU w/ a chance to take the lead, 16 seconds left.

 

[Plebe]

Loera hits 2 huge FTs to give Gonzaga a 2-point lead with 0:17 left. Stanford calls TO with a chance to tie or take the lead.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Williams w/ a layup, 5 seconds left. 62-62.

 

[Plebe]

Gonzaga now has the chance to win the game. Time to cue up the 'MAKE NOISE' screen!
