Sunday (3/10) games

[Plebe]

Watching Cinci-UCF with half an eye to see who UConn will play. Maryland seems overmatched by Iowa in the early part of their game.

My money would actually be on Cincinnati in this game. They barely lost on a last second shot at Orlando and they’ve clearly been playing better since.

First time ever seeing Gutafson play. Good gosh

I tried to tell ya.

Iowa’s problem right now is defense.

 

[bbsamjj]

She's just automatic.

 

[Vowelguy]

She's just automatic.

Yeah, Iowa can go to any region except Albany

 

[Vowelguy]

Strange T in IowaSt - Tex game, just as Horns had pulled to within 1.

 

[Plebe]

Meanwhile Texas has made a game of it down 3 to Iowa State in 4Q in the game to decide who gets killed by Baylor for a third time.

Didn’t see it, what happened?

 

[Plebe]

Texas losing yet another player to injury, Underwood not playing this game due to concussion.

 

[Vowelguy]

Didn’t see it, what happened?

Unclear.

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

Am I the only one who thinks the winner of the Iowa-Maryland game is going to be placed in the Greensboro region?

Charlie Creme stated this afternoon that the Iowa-Maryland game is probably going to be placed as a #2 seed against Baylor in the Greensboro region. The loser will be a #3, most likely in Chicago.

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

 

[wbball novice]

Cinci-UCF tied at 34 at the half.

 

[zozo]

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

Between the BS T and the missed shooting fouls on the last two plays, it looks like one of the Refs had Iowa State to cover the spread.

 

[Vowelguy]

TN transfer Alexa Middleton with 24 for Cyclones.

 

[Centerstream]

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.

 

[triaddukefan]

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.

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.
