Stanford vs So Carolina (merged thread)

[gamer]

Boston is a very good player, but has been overhyped. The media is always out to make stars. i

 

[GG]

I just don’t understand the, almost universal awe and fear that people show over Boston. Yes, she is a very good post and a great rebounder but in all of SC’s games against ranked teams (reg. season) she averaged 14.6 ppg with two games above 20, three below 10, a high of 27, and a low of 4! She shoots 49% which seems low for a great post player and only 26% from 3. Now, admittedly, she is a great rebounder and a strong post presence but I’m not seeing a performance commensurate with the adulation she receives from the media. I will say in her defense that, imo she has underperformed tremendously this year which I believe may be due to how she is used. She plays on a team that allows the guards, who shoot 39% and 43% respectively and who seem all too often to dominate the shot chart, to not make a strong effort to feed her the ball. She, imo, is a very good post player who could probably be a truly great one but her performances this season just don’t warrant the fear she seems to inspire (according to the media at least) in their opponents. Maybe someone out there can tell me if I’m missing something?

All good points. I definitely do not fear her, although I think she is one of the more dominant post in the country. I am actually more nervous that we may have to play Stanford if we both advance.

LOL....No Dee Kantnor in this game. UCONN gets her either tonight or Sunday with a win.

SC- too much quickness.

 

[nuna23]

I think South Carolina gonna win it ....

 

[SallyH]

I might even watch this one to see who we might face. We've gotten sooooo much better since the SC game I don't fear them so much but I hear Tara's got a deep bench.

Boston is showing up inside and out!!!

SC- too much quickness.

Next year they add Raven Johnson and Saniya Rivers. I always remember that when people decide to crown UConn for the upcoming seasons.

 

[Stymie]

Nobody is crowned until 0:00 in the final game.

I think Stanford will win with a narrow margin. Their starting center is injured.

Halftime- one of the live breaks—waiter puts down this HUGE tray of something. BBQ?
God Da*n!
Whatever that was- put me down for 1/2 an order.

Is that all you got?

Great, you made them delete their post.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Stanford, though I'd rather face SC if we get past the road runners.

1992= last championship for Vandersneer (still love this nickname from Boneyard yore). I give the nod the South Carolina tonight.

 

[bluedevil]

Remember we are talking about a sophmore! She will only get better and her hair will get purple er

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Hate Rebecca's fake excitement in her voice....or maybe it is someone else?

 

[mdakota]

YAY STANFORD WON

 

[RockyMTblue2]

SC misses 2 layups and its over. Has a familiar ring.

 

[mdakota]

Were they using a NIKE ball?

 

[CMC'72]

I predict Stanford by 1

 

[Newfie]

That hurts. Feel bad for South Carolina. So close. Had a call not go their way ( kicked ball not called). Ouch.

 

[bluedevil]

Gr8 game
