[LETTERL]

NC State takes on Hawaii at the Rainbow Wahine Showdown (730 pm EST).

 

[Plebe]

It's a red letter day in women's basketball when you have THREE top 10 matchups:

Oregon-Louisville at 3:15 p.m.
Baylor-South Carolina at 8 p.m.
Stanford-Mississippi State at 10:30 p.m.

These are the only remaining top 10 matchups in nonconference play, with the exception of UConn's games against Oregon, Baylor and South Carolina.

 

[militarydog]

This is where we will see if the three top teams can separate themselves from the remainder of the top ten. I previously thought Stanford was the most vulnerable. However they were very impressive against Syracuse last night.

I just commented on this in another thread, but Stanford is clearly vulnerable. Going overtime with Gonzaga and getting taken to the wire by Cal Baptist are symptoms of where this team is. The Syracuse game was anomalous. Syracuse is a team that lives and dies on 3-pointers but they were ice cold against Stanford until they were already down 20 in the 3rd quarter.

I watched the end of regulation of the Dayton-Auburn game, and the end-of-game execution by Dayton was painful to behold. Dayton missed an easy putback with 30 seconds left and then missed 1 of 2 FTs to give Auburn a last-gasp chance down only 2. Then a complete failure to box out resulted in a game-tying putback to send the game to OT.

Wait Auburn came back? I gave up on them earlier

As awful as Auburn is, I'm afraid Dayton is even worse.

Auburn takes a lead with 16 seconds left

Btw I saw Alabama had a good showing vs Northern Iowa yesterday (who beat Iowa, Missouri). Northern Iowa plays Ohio State today so we will see how quality that win is.

Omg it's painful. Whalen gets fouled with a fraction of a second on the clock, will have 2 FTs to tie or win the game.

 

[SECbbfan24]

SHE MISSED BOTH

Auburn will somehow hang on

No words.

This could be the win that turns Auburn's season around

Why would Coach Flo call a TO with 0.5 seconds left to play. Just let the clock run out.

These are the only remaining top 10 matchups in nonconference play, with the exception of UConn's games against Oregon, Baylor and South Carolina.

Depending on outcomes, there may not be too many top 10 matchups within any conferences, except the PAC12 which will have several because of Oregon, Oregon State, and Stanford all having home and home between each other.

They need something in all honesty. They are playing as a team with not much confidence. Chemistry isn't there this year. Its not like they don't have decent players.

Looking at that roster I forgot Honesty Scott Grayson transferred there. She should do well there.


How long is Robyn Benton out for? Auburn misses her right now.

Well there is a top 12 matchup tommorrow. TAMU vs Florida State

Florida State's ranking is suspect, having struggled to beat both LSU and Florida

 

[Plebe]

Sidenote: That was Vanderbilt transfer Erin Whalen who missed both FTs with 0.8 seconds to play.

To be fair, she helped keep Dayton in the game with some 3s.

 

[Plebe]

Just checked in on the Puerto Rico game. Surprised to see Washington up by 11 over Iowa in 4Q.

@nwhoopfan are you watching this?

 

[LETTERL]

Iowa up now by 9 on Washington...4:11 left 4th quarter.

Nicholls with an offensive explosion today (58 points) and have crept to within 3 of North Florida with a minute to go, looking for their first win of the season.

I like how you've taken a particular interest in Nicholls State.

Iowa has made it interesting. They had a 3-point attempt that would've cut the lead to 3 with about 40 seconds left, and just now another that would've cut it to 2 with 17 seconds left.

No disrespect to UCONN or South Carolina, but Dayton is w/o question, probably the worst team I have seen on a broadcast this year (I have watched at least 25+ games). Dayton lack any semblance of basketball talent or skill.

There's alot of suspect rankings though

Imagine how bad Auburn is if it required an epic choke job by Dayton just to beat them.
