Sunday (3/10) games

[Vowelguy]

TN transfer Alexa Middleton with 24 for Cyclones.

That was the strangest T call of the season. She literally stood there and stared.

Which I believe some people would consider taunting

That one was no different from The Tierra McCowan block that they constantly show the block for. She literally didn't an excellent job on defense and blocked the POY. That was nit picking, that wouldn't have been called a T in the men's game.

 

[Vowelguy]

Seems like weak attendance at BiG.

 

[Plebe]

UCF and Cincinnati tied up at halftime.

Can’t be emphasized enough how important this game is for UCF’s odds of an at large bid. Their RPI is high but their resume is feather light, with Quinnipiac and Villanova as the closest thing they have to quality wins. And Nova’s loss today just dropped them outside the top 50.

Sorry I have no idea what play you are referring to concerning Teaira but in the Iowa State/Texas game, I think blocking a shot, then standing over the fallen player and staring at her would/should be called taunting 99% of the time.
The only thing that would have made it more obvious was if she reached out to help her up and then pulled her hand back.
Players are taught to block the shot and then get ready for the next play.

Oh, I agree about the men's game where that "behavior" is the norm and why I haven't watched a men's game in 20+ years, college or the Not Basketball Anymore.

Would Iowa rather be in Greensboro or Chicago? They might want to start tanking now

#tank4chicago ???

 

[nwhoopfan]

I've watched a bit of Iowa this year, they're entertaining. Gustafson is outstanding of course. I also find myself appreciating Doyle and Stewart, nice complimentary players.

Iowa pulling away, up 15 w/ about 6 minutes left. Gustafson has 43 points and counting.

 

[Vowelguy]

MD uncharacteristically falling apart
Iowa on 18-4 run in last 9 minutes.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Is Maryland even going to attempt to play defense?

 

[Plebe]

Maryland tied it early in 3Q but it’s been all Iowa since then, now up 14 with 4 minutes to play.

Gustafson has 45 (!!).

I don’t think it matters much. Iowa already got crushed by ND, might as well try their luck with Baylor on a neutral court.

UCF starting to seperate with a few 3pt shots. 55-47 with 6 minutes left. Kiki Wright having a good game.

That seems like a big lead in a UCF game but Cincinnati has some shooters, not out of it yet.

 

[southie]

Unclear.

Aborwawa blocked Carleton's shot. Then T called.
Refs claimed taunting, but seemed marginal at best.

Horns fought hard tying it at 64-64 on a 3-pointer by Destiny Littleton with like 3 minutes left. But, after a block by Mide Aborowa on Carlton under the ISU basket, they called her for a technical for simply remaining standing where she made the block, and stared at Carlton who was on the floor. She didn't say a word, as confirmed by Coach Aston on the post-game after her discussion with the ref. Resulted in a 4-point possession for ISU. That was that.

I spot Adam Amin and Kara Lawson!

If they make it that far

 

[GDawg]

Did I hear that right? Vic bragging about McCowan's 2.67 GPA? Is a B- really something to boast about?

For her it is! She has been a chore to coach for 4 years, off the court. She almost left school a couple of times to quit and go home her freshman year. She is a kid that will graduate from college when alot of people close to the program didn't think she'd last long.

I think UCF has the better athletes across the board and especially in the post. That should help. 61-53 with 3' left. Just glad they are being worked hard by Cinn.

She wasn't standing over her.

 

[BigBird]

Iowa Big Ten tourney champs; soundly defeats Maryland, 90-74. And that Megan kid? Not too bad either. Tourney MOP, as it turns out. 45 points? Wowzers!

And that's the biggest win of all.

That might be true your description bore any semblance to the reality . Mide was 7-8 feet away from Carlton. The ref appeared reacting to the energy in the room and not the action on the floor. Mide did not move towards Carlton, did not lean over and the ref was not in a position to confirm whether her eyes were even directed at Carlton. It was a terrible call.

 

[eebmg]

Stanford out to an 8-0 lead. Thought I would write quickly before OU storms back.

 

[TheFarmFan]

I'm waiting for @triaddukefan to talk about how much Stanford is struggling! They seem to possess the ability to reverse jinx teams!
