Sunday (3/10) games

[Checkmate 2.0]

Is Maryland even going to attempt to play defense?

not as long as Frese is the coach. She just recruits shooters and cannot teach defense.

UCF wins 66-58 Cinci; apparently UCF frequently uses a surge in the 4 quarter to ice the game. In this game UCF used 3s to create separation even though it's Cinci that usually relies on the 3 ball. Kay Kay Wright of UCF ca. 16 pts. Until about half way thru the 4th it was neck and neck. The UCF bench celebrations are delightful.

She wasn't standing over her.

Whatever you say

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

I see it was a 66-58 final. For UCF that’s a lot of points actually. Wright had 21 and I see that Kaba, one of their bigs off the bench; added 13 on 6-8 shooting.

This is probably enough for the at large bid by no means is it certain.

Time to break out our armor unis...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ionescu is going to foul out both of the Hull twins at this rate.

 

[Centerstream]

I spot Adam Amin and Kara Lawson!

I hope that means Eric Frede and #5 0 in Uncasville tomorrow night

So glad the PAC 12 final is on ESPN2. The PAC 12 network is SD and blurry no matter how I adjust the picture.

After winning the semifinal, Coach Abe was asked What about UConn? She replied something like "I don't know -- fast transitions -- I don't know." I'm sure they'll think of something.

18-11 Stanford after Q1. Decent game but not real crisp, both teams missing plenty of open shots.


edit--wow Oregon is only 4-17 from the floor; Stanford should be further ahead than 7

Smith with a great end of Q1 statement block on a corner 3 from Boley Yaeger

 

[Plebe]

That quarter couldn’t have gone much worse for Oregon. Wow were they cold shooting. Stanford ran out to a 10-2 lead and have announced this will be no blowout.

I’m concerned about Oregon’s body language. They look tired and flat. Last night’s UCLA game looks like it sapped something from them. They have so little depth and to me the starters look tired.

The shot attempt was byYaeger, not Boley. But yeah nice block.

 

[Blueballer]

Lots of bricks going up in this Oregon game. Yes they do look tired.

 

[triaddukefan]

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

ill take a break from this game

 

[Plebe]

If Stanford ends up beating Oregon badly, would they leap frog Oregon and take the Portland regional from them??

 

[Blueballer]

Tara is one of the all time greats, but the sound of her voice would drive me crazy.

 

[TheFarmFan]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves and get the woofing gods involved here, Plebe! One quarter at a time...

Creme just insinuated that.

Yup, he just announced it...

Maybe they will have a blizzard in Vegas tonight and tomorrow

 

[nwhoopfan]

Will either team ever warm up behind the 3 point line?

Probably just a case of 2 good teams slugging it out, but the game has been fairly ugly so far.

Oregon is gonna get sent to the Portland regional regardless if they are a #2 seed; that precludes Stanford from being there as the #1 seed. Kind of like UConn with Albany

 

[bantamlaker]

Let’s hope that Lawson doesn’t join them. I like Kara but as we’ve all noted when those 3 are together they’re awful, talking about everything but the game being played.

 

[nwhoopfan]

33-24 Stanford at the half. 16 for Carrington, Ionescu has 13.


edit--teams are a combined 4-22 behind the arc

Generally speaking, you know Stanford is doing well when their opponent is playing really ugly. But wow Oregon shooting 31% and 1-9 from 3 won’t get it done.
