Saturday lineup (11/30)

[Plebe]

Arkansas trailed most of the game against (ahem) Wisconsin, needed a miracle comeback just to beat a Big Ten cellar team on a neutral court.

Why they're still ranked #25 is beyond me.

Why is Syracuse showed as winning 64-62 on Warren Nolan?

Weird glitches happen sometimes, especially with these tournaments. It'll get corrected.

I couldn't figure out why folks were saying GB won.

I don't feel like starting a separate thread for the "other" games for which @Shades hasn't started a game thread, but Drake-Auburn is actually a pretty decent-quality game. Drake took a double-digit lead early but then Auburn caught fire and has hit 8 threes in the 1st half, 5 of them by by Hansen. Drake leads 44-42 in a surprisingly high-scoring game.

 

[DaBball]

Becca Hittner has been inconsistent this year. I’ll be interested to see if Grace Berg can make an impact.

Another Auburn choke job?

You deserve to lose I guess when you continue to miss layups.

Auburn played a lot better in this game. Hansen and Alexander were great for them. Drake just executed a little better down the stretch.

They are struggling to finish/close games this year. Hansen was great, was very impressed with her.
When is Robyn Benton suppose to return? She did some good stuff as a true freshmen last year.

But didn't you say Dayton was awful?

 

[j66kicker]

Tennessee wins 81-54 against Air Force.

Whoopee!!!! 1-7 Air Force, who has lost to Army, Navy, U. San Diego, Northern Colorado, Portland and ASU (ASU beat them worse than TN did). The lone AFA win was against the currently 1-6 Highlanders of New Jersey Institute of Technology!

Is this game being broadcast somewhere?

No...just the NC State radio broadcast. Only the games involving the University of Hawaii have streaming coverage.

I signed up for sling, and will watch NC State on the ACCN channel soon. Looking forward to seeing this team.

You won't need Sling to see NC State's next game -- they play Maryland in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge Thursday night at 7 pm on ESPN.

NC State leads North Texas, 19-15, at end of 1st quarter. North Texas finished the quarter on a 6-0 run.

At halftime...NC State leads North Texas, 36-27. Elissa Cunane with a double-double already, with 15 points and 11 rebounds.

 

[Shmermerer]

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.

isn’t Theresa Pleasance Montserrat the coach at Nichols State. Doobe Pleasance.

 

[LETTERL]

NC State heating up in the 3rd...behind back-to-back THREEs from Ace Konig, and a runaway layup from Elissa Cunane. Timeout called by North Texas...and NC State leading, 49-34, 6:15 left 3rd quarter.

Yes.

 

[LETTERL]

End of 3rd quarter...NC State leads North Texas, 59-46. Elissa Cunane with a huge game to this point..19 points and 16 boards. Kayla Jones the only other Wolfpack Woman in double figures, with 13.

 

[LETTERL]

Final: NC State goes to 8-0 on the season with a 76-65 win over North Texas (2-4). Elissa Cunane with a monster game...24 points and 19 rebounds.

Next up for the Wolfpack Women: #9 Maryland Thursday night in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge in a renewal of one of WBB's oldest rivalries.
