Pac 12 Friday 1/19

[nwhoopfan]

Early start time apparently. Utah got revenge for a home loss a few weeks ago and handed Arizona St. their first loss in Tempe this season. Sun Devils now riding a 3 game losing streak. They were tied for first place a week ago today, now they are tumbling down the standings.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Apparently ASU was up 11 entering the 4th quarter, but got outscored 26-13 in the final 10 minutes.

The two games I want to see are late 11pm... ... that will give me time to go to the gym...... then grab some fried chicken or burger/fries for dinner before tip-off. Wish USC-Stanford were playing at 9 as opposed to going head to head with the Oregon-Oregon State matchup.

Interesting article I found

I can't imagine anyone is a fan of playing the same team twice in 3 days. It's goofy. I'm pretty sure Oregon is going to snap their long losing streak against Oregon St., but I hope they have to wait til Sunday to do it and the teams end up splitting the pair of games.

Washington played at Washington St. on Wednesday, they don't play the 2nd game til Sunday. Still back to back but at least a few more days in between.

In addition to the pair of games you are keen on, there is also Cal @ UCLA. That one does start earlier. Colorado @ Arizona seems like kind of a throw away game.

Can’t wait

I expect UCLA to get Cal in LA

Check out the Utah ASU win probability.

ASU at 97% minutes before end of game.

This shows the 97.4%

I know its not Pac 12..... but the top 2 teams in the Big East both got taken behind the ol woodshed tonight... Villanova beat Depaul 84-58.... and Marquette lost to Georgetown 85-58.

 

[ochoopsfan]

This is an ugly game UCLA v Cal
UCLA up 37-28 late 3rd.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Anigwe's stats are pretty good this season, but my impression is she's just not as dominant this year as she was last season. I looked at the box score w/ about 30 seconds left, Anigwe and Billings scoring was about the same so they kinda cancelled each other out, but Monique had 18 rebounds! Bruins were up 9 so I'm assuming they won.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon and Oregon St. haven't both been ranked when they've faced each other since 1981!

Lexi Bando is out for the Ducks w/ an injury.

Sounds like they are expecting a full house tonight.

 

[triaddukefan]

Lets go Beavers

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon going w/ a big lineup--McGwire starting in place of Bando.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Corosdale and Tudor each w/ a pair of 3's early, and a possible 4 point play coming up after the first media TO. Beavers up 16-8 early!

 

[nwhoopfan]

OSU is 7-7 behind the arc and leading 28-17 after 1Q. I didn't exactly expect this.

 

[nwhoopfan]

7-0 run by Oregon to start the 2Q, time out OSU.

 

[DefenseBB]

Ok just spent 6 hours driving my middle son back to college so I now a bit wired. Driving I-95 in the Northeast is definitely an intense competition sport. I will be wide awake for all these West Coast games. What the heck happened to ASU? Low scoring UCLA game and Ariz is off the snide!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon St. was up 38-26 but Oregon closed to 42-36 at halftime. OSU 9-11 behind the arc, Tudor has 5 of them and 18 points. Ionescu has matched her 18.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC-Stanford game is less exciting apparently--26-23 Trojans leading at the half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gulic having herself a game. 12 points 6 rebs 5 assists. How many 6-5 centers do that?

Hebard has 10 on 5-6 shooting but only 1 rebound. OSU has 12 assists and Oregon has 4.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hebard picked up her 3rd foul right at the beginning of the 3Q. Graves rolling the dice leaving her out there. 49-42 OSU 5 minutes into the 3Q. Tudor is killing it w/ 23 points, hit another 3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McGwire came alive w/ 8 points in the 3Q after a scoreless first half. Zone defense is befuddling the Beavers. OSU clinging to a 53-50 lead after 3Q.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC up 44-36 nearing the end of the 3Q. Carrington w/ 15 off the bench for Stanford, the starters aren't doing squat (none of them have scored more than 4).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Refs taking this one over for Oregon. They get a whistle every time, nothing on the other end. BS. Game all tied up now. Hebard should've been whistled for a foul twice in the last minute, would've sent her to the bench.

 

[nwhoopfan]

3 point shot has turned into fools gold for OSU, only 1-8 this half. Oregon just isn't taking them, only 7 attempts for the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

63-62 Oregon, 4:18 left. Ionescu w/ 22 and Hebard has 21. For OSU Tudor has 25 and Gulic has 23. Those 2 have 18 of the Beavers 20 2nd half points. Need a little bit of help.

 

[DefenseBB]

Thanks my Northwest friend. How many fans are there do you suppose?

 

[nwhoopfan]

67-67 w/ 2 minutes left. Ducks getting away w/ a lot of reaching in. Tudor and Gulic have been awesome, the rest of the Beavers stink in the 2nd half.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Thanks my Northwest friend. How many fans are there do you suppose?

The announcers are saying 6700, just short of a sellout.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Beavers had a chance to retake the lead, terrible pass leads to a layup for Hebard. 71-69 Ducks, 50 seconds left, OSU ball. 13 TO's, not as bad as some other games but some really costly ones.
