Some interesting games today, now that conference play has started...

[EricLA]

OSU vs. anyone (in this case Iowa). Iowa is 11-3, OSU 10-3. Iowa had a WTF loss to Florida International and UNC, but beat ranked teams of WVU, ISU, and Texas (by 23 points).

Maryland vs. UNC - anyone want to take the bet that MD DOESN'T whip them by 30+? Didn't think so lol...

Tennessee vs. South Carolina - Hard to tell anything about SC at this point - they have one of the worst cupcake schedule strength going into conference play (187). Kentucky (219) and Georgia (256) are even worse... And while SC played Stanford close, I have no idea if that was just a really bad day for Stanford, or if SC is actually any good. I'd be surprised if Tenn doesn't beat them by 12-15 or so.

This is gonna be a sacrilegious statement, but I will be rooting for UNC in this matchup.

Though I wont shed any tears on my cheeseburger if indeed Maryland wins by 30

I'm too lazy to look it up but I assume OSU is Ohio State and not OK State? I get messed up trying to remember if Iowa is Big 12 or Big 10 because Iowa State is the vice versa.

OMG, everybody knows the Hawkeye's are Big 10 and the Cyclones are Big 12. (well everyone who grew up in IL )

Each one is surprising too. Wonder why - really thought Duke, Maryland, and Penn State especially would roll.

You would think Duke would have rolled... but 1) State beat us in the ACC tourney in March 2) They always play us tough in Reynolds..... most games have been decided by 3 or fewer points and 3) not sure if you are familiar with Reynolds Coliseum.... but its a tough shooting environment for opponents..... a very underrated home court advantage.

PSU won a close one, despite being outrebounded. Maggie Lucas shot a stellar 5-7 from distance and a dismal 0-9 from inside the arc.

 

[MilfordHusky]

E. Williams had 9 and 5 for Duke. Is she playing hurt?

 

[MilfordHusky]

LV game is really strange. They lead SC by 1 at the half. Tenn is shooting 54% but getting killed on the boards. Role reversal?
