Saturday's conference-tournament bonanza

[BroadwayVa]

And how are you medically cleared but still on a scooter??

Medically cleared by the janitor staff---if she is gimping before the game---if you want to protect her for pro status --she sit's--ask any janitor..

 

[Ron and Vida]

OSU still can't play defense. Or they don't know how to play defense. Take your pick.

Or don't want to bothered to play defense

I have to give props to Houston for acquitting themselves well in a competitive loss to Temple. Though UH didn't have a good year, they did improve over last year. Houston's top 2 scorers are both freshmen.

Feyonda Fitzgerald for Temple had 30 points and 7 assists. She, Butts, and Atkinson combined to score 65 of the team's 67 points.

OSU's defense is notoriously not good, but it was their offense that lost this game. Purdue scored 71 today, and OSU has won 11 games this year in which their opponent scored more than that.

The big massive reason why OSU lost? Kelsey Mitchell went 3 of 22 from the field, including 1 of 12 from 3, and only 2 of 4 from the foul line. OSU sans Mavunga doesn't have a Plan B if Mitchell goes ice cold and isn't getting herself to the free throw line.

Mississippi State taking it to TAMU 46-22. Half way thru 3rd.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Texas heading towards semifinals. Up by 9 over Oklahoma State with less than a minute in the 4th

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Texas wins 71-60 over the Cowgirls.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

So Coates out tomorrow for Mississippi State game (assuming the bulldogs win )

PAC12 up next

The good news is that the women's power conferences have such a long break between conference tournaments and the first game of the NCAA tournament. She'll get about 11 or 12 days of rest before then, and they should rest her for the game vs. a #16 seed as well.

I'm watching the Oregon State-UCLA game, but I just noticed online that South Florida trails SMU by 5 after 3Q. A loss could be disastrous for USF.

 

[TARZAN22]

B.McCarty for Texas is so little, but make some great basket's in the lane.

 

[huskeynut]

SMU up 51 - 50. About 3.30 left in the game.

 

[huskeynut]

USF wins 62 - 55.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Looks like USF is gonna pull out a close one....

Meanwhile West Virginia is thumping Oklahoma in the Big12 Quarterfinals 36-13

Creme thought OU may make a bid for top 16 but no way if they lose this one. WVU may come off the bubble with a win!

 

[Plebe]

Whew. USF dodged another bullet. 62-55 with the win.

That'll probably be good enough for USF, although you never know. The committee could pull out the Maryland hammer on them for a low SOS and only one quality win.

OSU/UCLA battling at the half 30-27 Bruins lead

When these teams played in Norman in February, WVU built a huge lead in the first half only to see OU come back in the 2nd half and win in 2OT. We'll see if they can hang on this time. A win will put them in the tournament without a doubt.

UCLA up by 3 at the half.
Canada is dominating with 17 points. She really took over after Gabby Hanson went to the bench early in 2Q with her second foul.
Both teams are cold from the outside. Wiese had a few buckets early but the UCLA defense is smothering her right now.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Cori Close whines too much.

WVU played a giant game at Baylor back in January. You do not want them as a 8/9 seed.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

48-24 WVU on top of Sooners at half. Let's see if they. n hold on.

Meanwhile this UCLA/OU game is getting better in second half.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

The worst part, Melissa Barlow is the ref

 

[Plebe]

This UCLA-OSU game took an ugly turn in 3Q when both teams endured a long scoring drought.
Then OSU started finding the basket and pushed ahead by 8, with buckets from Hanson and Gulich.
It's a scratchy clawy kind of game. Not unusual for a 3rd game between teams.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Oregon State leads 48-43 with 6 left in the 4th

 

[Plebe]

Canada, as fit as she is, just got so winded on that last possession that she lost Wiese on a 3. I believe that's Wiese's first bucket since 1Q.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Sid Weise!! Ice water!!!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Oregon State is gonna win. They can ugly up a game but it's effective. They will play for PAC-12 title.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Looks like WVU is gonna get the Sooners. Lead 67-33 with a few seconds left in 3rd.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Melissa Barlow strikes again
