SEC vs ACC challenge (Predictions and Discussion)

[bballnut90]

Honestly, I've watched a bunch of ACC teams and Louisville looks like the most complete team. I'm close to putting in my bet that they win the ACC this year.

Our first player off the bench, Makeer, didn't make the trip. She was on concussion protocol. Dauda's minutes have been waning and McDaniel doesn't seem to have gained back Coach's trust after being suspended. Tac played alright but this isn't a good matchup for her. McDowell played a few good minutes but looked like a freshman and in a close game like this, the coaches weren't going to gamble.

Being out Kitts, Watkins and Makeer is a quick way to go from a solid 8 person rotation to only going 5 deep. I'm surprised we're not seeing more from Dauda though. She looked like a great portal pick up coming from Arkansas but hasn't been able to put it together at SC yet.

Okay Duke. You can hold them under 100. You guys got this.

Also, ole Miss has climbed back into this.

Take out Q2 and Duke has tied LSU 48-48

Kind of BS Mulkey told her players not to go for 100. Things like that matter to players. Let them have fun.

Take out the first 19:35 on Monday, and South Florida played UConn dead even.

newsflash: 10 mins smaller than 20 mins

I wasnt implying they were equal. But that it was a moral victory for the BDs. And I think everyone thought it was all down hill after Q2. Duke actually showed some promise.

Don’t they have a bunch of McDonald’s AA. It was preseason top 10. Just poorly coached

Thanks for the newsflash. I was not aware of that.

Duke got outscored by 30 after leading by 14. At home.

Given how bad Duke has looked so far this year, that's improvement.

I don’t think it is the easiest game in the world. But Duke better beat Virginia tech on Sunday.

Who was leading when she got tossed?

Ole Miss. And…I’ve seen worse taunts.

Still, taunting when you are trailing is just plain stupid, the answer is always a finger pointed at the scoreboard

 

[Vowelguy]

Who was leading when she got tossed?

Ole Miss
She scored to pull then within 5 with like 20 seconds … no reason for her to be taunting bc they were gonna lose

Exactly. Must have been something she said. Still as a ref I probably would have whispered be quiet for 13 more seconds. 🤣

Duke better find someone who can lead on the court. When they get tense…it’s pretty much game over. They have their fair share of players that run on emotion, BUT…then get run over by that same emotion.

They also take too many wild and out-of-rhythm shots and Mair (though a talented player) is a walking turnover machine (& Fournier still can't consistently shoot from further than 5 feet).

11-1 Duke.
Why do I feel like an 80-50 run is coming?

 

[TheFarmFan]

Anyone who had SMU as the only ACC team to register a definitive win in the ACC/SEC challenge on their bingo card, I salute you.

Could the WNBA please resolve their CBA issues so at least know I have something women's basketball-related to look forward to soon? I think it's gonna be a long couple of months for this Stanford fan... 🙃

I had gone to bed by then! But looking at the play by play HH got a tech with 13 seconds to play and then another with 11 seconds. I saw a replay of the one with 11 seconds, right after she made a meaningless jumper to cut it to 5 she said something to the defender.

What happened right before that when she got her first tech?

Seems like a pretty bad look getting 2 techs in less than 5 seconds when you were losing and doing so for taunting for an individual accomplishment (making a shot) while your team is clearly going to lose.
