Louisville leads NC State, 59-57, going to the 4th. Huge defensive quarter for NC State. Amazing what happens when our starters can stay on the floor.
 
Louisville pulling away again...72-61, 5:23 left. 4 fouls now on Cunane for NC State.
 
Louisville up 74-68, 56 seconds left. Foul trouble looming on both sides. Joycelyn Jones out for Louisville.
 
.-.
Final: Louisville eliminates NC State, 78-68. Louisville now 29-2; NC State now 26-5.
 
With the SEC semis coming up next, some coaching tree trivia:

Vic Schaefer and Mike Neighbors both worked for Gary Blair earlier in their coaching careers. I believe all three were together at Arkansas, and of course Vic was the long time assoc head coach at A&M.
 
Kudos to NCS for playing Lou tight. After the last injury I left them for dead but they are legit top 10. Should be 8 or 9 in final comm ranks

Much respect was earned this season by the Wolfpack.

It’s looking extremely likely that NC St will be the 2 or 3 seed in Greensboro.
 
Mississppi State playing stifling defense...up 7-0 on Missouri. At least three steals so far.
 
Robin pingeton is such a great coach. She has Missouri set up perfectly. Slouch off to the paint so McCowan can’t touch ball. Force MSU to hit long jumpers. And on offense force McCowan in to a pick n roll and exploit her slow feet. It’s how they beat her a month ago and it’s the only game plan that works.

Halftime - Mississippi State 37, Missouri 26

Last game when Mizzou beat State Howard was in foul trouble and didn’t play most of the game. Also, Big -T had a terrible game (credit to the Tigers) making MSU shoot the ball and clogging up the lane.

Vic has adjusted quite well himself. T is getting some easy touches and good looks now.
 
No longer doing a good job of sitting in T’s lap. You have to make her teammates make jumpers. If they do, tip your cap and have a safe flight home. Giving T layups is not a good strategy.
 
WOW, first quarter UCF 10 - Tulsa 8, if either of them play like this tomorrow they will not make the Championship game.
 
4Q: Mississippi State 54, Missouri 41

Offensive rebounds - State 12, Mizzou 0

Just tuning in to Maryland-Michigan, and it's a well-played, hard-fought game. Maryland is up by 2 with under 4:00 to play. Michigan in some foul trouble—Thome sitting with 4 fouls and Munger just picked up her 4th—but fighting and clawing to stay close.
 
Exciting finish from Indy. Munger hit a huge 3 off a screen to give Michigan its first lead since early in 3Q, and then Charles responds with a pull-up to take the lead back.
 
Tough win against Mizzou. I hope we do not see Sophie again, she is a really great player. 71- 56 but it was hard fought game.
 
I think Belmont became the first team to officially punch their ticket today. Won the Ohio Valley tourney 59-53 over UT Martin. 4th straight appearance for them apparently.
 
Naz Hillmon showing why she was Big 10 co-FOY and 6th Player of the Year. Got a put-back to give Michigan a 1-point lead. Maryland timeout with 22 seconds to play.

What's going on? Maryland got a bucket but it's waived off, Maryland credited w/ a time out but Frese is saying she didn't call one.

It was a great win for the Dawgs. But I want to see much more of Sophie. She is a force on the court. A special player that I enjoy watching. Congrats on your win!
 
I wonder what's going on with Mikesell, she hasn't been on the floor since I started watching in early 4Q and she's not in foul trouble.
 
If Maryland can win tomorrow, I think they and NC State will be the 2 and 3 seeds in Greensboro.

If there were any doubts about Michigan deserving a bid, they should have been dispelled today.
