St Joes tight with MD late

[MilfordHusky]

Alyssa Thomas shot 6-25.

Not great for an AA candidate in a close game. Did she force shots? Her teammates took few.

Actually think some teams and may be overrated and a lot of recruits are underrated. Once all the hoopla and hype settles they get exposed.

Agreed completely. After seeing Kentucky's effort against Baylor and after those Elite 8 performances last year by MD and Duke it's pretty obvious what a huge drop off there is after Baylor/UConn/Stanford/ND. Some of it is talent but the drop off shouldn't be that big unless you take coaching and development into account.

Short bench—four of the five St. Joe's players had 38 minutes or more.

All I can say is wow. UCONN gets to play PSU, Maryland, Stanford, Baylor, Duke, ND, L'ville and aTm. Is it possible that really the only 4 teams who are ANY good at all are UCONN, Baylor, Stanford an Duke? Losing to St. Joe's? That's kinda like UCONN losing to Hartford or Holy Cross, no?

I bet our Duke fans are salivating at the thought of playing MD this year... (and UNC for that matter - I know triad hates UNC the most...). I'm not convinced ND is an "elite" team this year either. A 6 point win over perennial overrated OSU does not inspire any confidence. I guess we will see soon enough...

UConn best be paying attention to these upsets. This is why they play the game!

I'm sure Geno will remind them!

With the family so missing all the action! Was this because of no PG for Maryland?

ST JOES IS OFFICIALLY A POWERHOUSE!!!!

Looking at their schedule they have Syracuse up next.

One of the starters for St Joe was former Terp Natasha Cloud. Not sure if Freese ran off Cloud or not, but i bet this victory is oh so sweet for her.




Cloud was one of many run off.

Or TN losing to Chatanooga. Oh, wait...
