Saturday (3/9) games

[Plebe]

Good point. If UCF lost to someone other than UConn in the final, does the AAC get 3 bids?

Tougher question. If UCF loses to anyone other than UConn in the AAC tournament, their at-large bid is very much in doubt. A loss to Cincinnati (a top 75 team) would be the least damaging and I'd say their chances would still be decent, maybe a coin flip. A loss to Houston or USF, and the chances grow slim. A loss to ECU, and they can start making plans for the WNIT.

Watching S Florida & Houston on ESPN3. Announcers are Eric Frede and Blair Schaefer (spelling?) former Miss State guard & daughter of the coach. She's pretty good.

FSU seems to have pulled away in the 3rd Q. They were trailing 33 34 at the half. Now 54-40 end of 3Q.

Houston coach Ron Hughly says he was on an elevator at Mohegan Sun and someone asked him if he was Mike Tyson.

It's not Eric Frede...don't know this guy.

The only thing about these ESPN games.. As opposed to the raycom ones.. Is the set time for the second semifinal. Got 40 minutes to wait until tipoff

Yeah, Blair wants to do TV. Obviously it's her first year and she's learning, but I think she's going to be good. She has a pleasant personality and knows the game.

She's called a few of our games with the radio guys and brings a lot of insight (obviously since she knows all the players and shares DNA with the HC).

I'm afraid ND has been a bit bored to this point in the season and has now decided it's time to win a couple of tourneys.

IIRC, she came here for grad school.

UConn is not listed on ESPN3. Any suggestions?

Well, Tennessee's chances just got a little better. West Virginia lost to Kansas State.

They are on ESPN3. Providing you have a Cable Provider and you have the ESPN channels.

UConn is not listed on ESPN3. Any suggestions?

The game should start somewhere around 2:20 - 2:30. It should appear in the Live portion of the app pretty soon.

 

[chrissaran]

I have never seen a more satisfying unopposed missed layup than the one Arike just totally flubbed. Maybe they will show that 24 hours a day on ESPN rather than replay the make from last year?

Arike is like Kelsey Mitchell: she never saw a shot she didn't like, and she doesn't play D.

It's in the list of Live games now because it originally had a 2PM tipoff time.

On the subject of where are they now, the best moment in Friday's SEC halftime of TAMU and Auburn was TAMU alum Courtney Walker, now a computer software designer, trying to explain computer server architecture to Andy Landers and Nell Fortner. Refreshing change of pace, student athletes & so on.

 

[Centerstream]

The ESPN Schedule page now has a 2:15 start time...oops, they are wrong again.

What's the actual tipoff time?

Just came on. ESPN3.

 

[ShmiCO]

Yep, my espn3 just woke up from a long sleep.

I'm not sure whether to call it an impressive finish by South Florida or an awful collapse by Houston.

Either way, the Bulls outscored the Coogs 39-21 in the 2nd half to pull away. Jose Fernandez's squad awaits the winner of UConn-ECU

Gotta hand it to USF. They've endured a lot of adversity but they're still kicking.

 

[LETTERL]

NC State leads Louisville, 10-7, 4:56 left 1st quarter. Kai Crutchfield and Ace Konig have THREEs for NC State. Asia Durr has yet to score.

 

[UCBaller2012]

16-9 pack!

 

[LETTERL]

NC State up now 16-9...timeout Louisville, 2:59 left 1st quarter.

 

[LETTERL]

NC State leads Louisville, 21-17, after 1 quarter. Durr with only 2 points for Louisville. Kai Crutchfield and Elissa Cunane with 7 points each for NC State.
