Yow. And I don't care how ESPN phrases it, but USCar beating Hampton by only 20 is not a "cruise," even if it was a road game.
 
Holy Moley....there's a phrase that I am sure cannot be used on the Boneyard, but I am thinking it got shot that game against UConn...seriously

I am so surprised...
 
Ya know, this is not just sour grapes, but there is a helluva lot more excitement in this season than I would have thought possible, and that is undoubtedly a good thing for wcbb in general. It also adds a lot more excitement to the Huskies' season. How in the name of common sense we managed to lose to Stanford I still do not understand, but there will be much more national interest in our game with SCar and maybe with DePaul, Duke and UCLA as well. Perfect seasons are great, but some of our most exciting seasons have been "come from behind" affairs. (Not that we are all that far behind, but still.....)

Huh?
 
I would not be surprised to see us schedule UTC next season.
 
Stanford scored 46 points tonight. They nearly doubled that against us. WTF?!

Jim Foster's teams may have underachieved at Vandy and OSU, but Chattanooga is impressive so far.

Congrats to Jim and his team!

Me neither since we're playing them next November or December :) Notre Dame is also playing them, so clearly they are not afraid of a challenge!

And as I said in this thread I started pre-season, we'd have the three longest winning streaks in WCBB history. Damn it all.

Agreed. But Geno said he was having trouble getting through to the team. If that loss in the second game of the year helps us win the last 6, it was worth it.

That now-bizarre Stanford loss makes me appreciate Maya just that much more. 90 in a row. 150-4 for her career. ZERO home losses. Maya played in every game and was a 4-time consensus All-American. Miss Maya was also Miss Durability, Miss Reliability, and Miss Consistency.

150-4. Wow. That has to be a record. Simply amazing.

Just a reminder - OSU (more so than Vandy) flopped in the post-season. Some of their regular seasons were really good.

Yep, 150-4 is a record. Both the 150 and the 4.

Sue lost 4 games in 3+ seasons; Tina lost 5 or 6; Diana lost 8.

I must have missed the announcement. Glad to hear it. Thanks.

If UConn play Stanford again they will win by 20+ points. That was a fluke game for Stanford who now has 3 loses

Stanford Blog of the game. http://candrsstanfordwomensbasketba.../stanford-cant-score-against-chattanooga.html

MOCS did not score a basket in Final 11:26 of the game. How did Stanford Lose?????
Expand ...
From the article:
"UTC went to the line and made 11 of 12 free throw in that basket drought."

Stanford plays Tennessee on Saturday. Do you think that they were looking past UTC? Why they would, i don't know, as UTC beat UT. But UTC is still (not for long) not a "name" program.

Hello everyone. This is my first post. In my opinion, UCONN lost to Stanford because they were not ready to play a good program like Stanford. I was only able to watch part of the game, but Stanford was making their shots and UCONN didn't play defense very well. As I stated, just my opinion.

I think the big thing for UConn (and a very good point that Stanford blog makes) was that their wasn't much tape on Stanford at that point. They didn't know what Stanford was going to run. Now that the cat's out of the bag on Stanford's new offense, they're finding it difficult to come up with a viable plan B.

Stanford not that well coached. No inside game, Chattanooga doing good job clogging lanes.

Bingo, I have said it for years but people think that numbers make you a good coach. Tara has enjoyed having some very good smart players, the type that just happened to be on the floor against Uconn in a crucial part of the game. Since the Uconn game her lines and sub patterns have been all over the place. The most glaring problem is that of McCall starting who clearly is a problem for them.

From the Stanford blog: "and just what is a “Moc,” that school’s nickname?"... this coming from a fan of a team
whose nickname is Cardinal, the color not even the bird. A poisonous snake seems more inspiring nickname for
a college sports program than a color.

Well hellooooo Alice. Welcome aboard. A couple quick hints on enjoying your time here. 1) agree with everything I write 2) beware of the bears. :cool:

Hope you keep on posting.

I had read that UConn will be playing at Chattanooga next season. Looks like that future game could be better for the RPI than I would have thought.

Even prior to this Chattanooga win, they were almost certain to be one of the top few teams, in terms of RPI, on the UConn schedule. In both 2013-14 and 2012-13, they would likely have been one of the top five teams in terms of having a positive effect on the UConn RPI.

Their record in each of the past two seasons (prior to the NCAA tournament) was 29-3. It's hard to be better for an opponent's RPI than that.
