Saturday Sweet 16 games

[Plebe]

Babies are cute and all, but all this carrying on about Mulkey being a new grandmother just doesn't quite sit well. Would they ever carry on like this about a male coach being a grandfather?

Blair’s grandson got some coverage in 2011. He was old enough to be a fan, though.

Baylor looks very good, I have them and ND in the NC game.

 

[Blueballer]

The Mabrey flop is alive and well. Carter with 2 fouls in first quarter.

 

[wbball novice]

I'm not one to complain about the refs, but to smack Chennedy Carter with 2 fouls half way thru the Q1 is bad for women's basketball.

 

[Plebe]

Bad sign for TAMU that Wells misses a wide open 3. She's been automatic from the arc, and they really need her scoring to have any chance at all.

 

[wbball novice]

In last night's game Oregon's Erin Boley couldn't hit the side of a barn and Ruthy Hebard couldn't score close in consistently. One off, or a bad sign if Oregon has to depend too much on Sabrina to take down MissState a second time?

 

[Plebe]

A legal screen flattens Jackie Young and then Carter bottoms a long 3 pointer.

Shame on Jackie's teammates for not calling out the screen.

Re: Baylor.
Drive of the game, 3Q big Lauren Cox scoring coast to coast.
In the same quarter, Kalani Brown had an interior pass that Sabrina would have applauded.
DiDi Richards is like Christyn Williams grown-up. Should have watched more Baylor games to watch her play, but not part of my sports package.
Right now, Baylor looks like a dominant UConn team on steroids. I compared them elsewhere to one of the old Russian hockey teams, with no miracles on ice in sight.

Mabrey should go into acting after she finishes at ND. Her flops are Oscar-worthy. Private Ryan was saved with less theatrics.

 

[UCBaller2012]

Impressed with A&M through this first half with their ability to control tempo. Slowing it down mostly, but picking the right spots to attack on the fast break.

 

[wbball novice]

I know it can't last, but I'm enjoying the Aggies keeping the Notre Dame team -- uh -- honest. Refs making it up to Carter by not calling what sure look like potential fouls to me.

She lays on the floor for a while like she was shot from the grassy noll and needs help getting to her feet. Then she returns the very next play. Drama queens.

Notre Dame losing its composure, complaining about the officiating and getting beat in transition, which is supposed to be their advantage.

TAMU has still found no answer for Shepard/Turner, but doing enough to compensate. ND not hitting anything from outside.

 

[Reypl21]

It's crazy how last year Mabrey was super hot in the tourney. This year she is colder than ice

 

[Vowelguy]

Agree with Blair that they need to get to the 2nd half. Know that ND is going to make a run in Q3. If they're up 5+ at half, the ND run will kill. But if it's tight ... Aggies need to finish strong this 1st half.

THAT 3 WAS YOUR FAULT

 

[Orangutan]

Carter is causing havoc but she looks gassed. Maybe it's just the way she always carries herself?

 

[Plebe]

I am super impressed with TAMU and with Blair in that 1st half. Never count out the Silver Fox!

Not that crazy given that she hyperextended her knee the week before the tournament.

Yeah she adopts that rope a dope style regularly.

 

[IrishTiger]

Absolutely horrible defense by ND in the first half. Have to pick it up in the 2nd half on the defensive end in order to win.

 

[Blueballer]

Great game. I hope the refs will let it stay that way but I doubt it.

 

[Plebe]

Once again, Notre Dame showing its tremendous underachievement. With one of the best rosters ever seen, they're unable to dominate, struggling and complaining to the refs. Muffet will never be an alpha coach, only good when she's yapping at someone's heels.

Making it up? Mabrey should have 3 fouls, not 1.
