Sunday 3/19 NCAAT games

[Plebe]

Epps breaks down in tears when she comes off the court for the last time. She's had a heckuva career, and she and Akhator just carried Kentucky to a much better season than anyone could've predicted.

 

[Plebe]

Anybody know Dunn's official title with Kentucky?

Assistant coach

 

[LETTERL]

Almost time for NCState/Texas. Really looking forward to seeing NCState senior Miah Spencer go up against Big 12 Player of the Year Brooke McCarty. Admittedly, I'm getting a little nervous.

 

[ASweet3781]

Good luck Letter!

 

[stwainfan]

ND has been gifted the easiest possible path to the national championship game. No Baylor, no Maryland, no UConn.

I think Texas is the team. That could give ND the most trouble.

It should be a very good game. Having all those experienced guards will really help NC State in this game, and they've shown that they're not intimidated to play on the road.

 

[LETTERL]

For those of you history buffs...

Texas leads the series with NCState, 5-1. The teams have not met since 2003. NCState's only win against Texas was on January 10, 1981, in a 91-89 double overtime thriller.

 

[Plebe]

I mean yeah, the most trouble among the teams in its region, which isn't saying much.

Other than its fine performance against Baylor, Texas hasn't really shown the quality of a Final Four team. Their win over FSU was a mutual slop-fest. And then Texas lost to Oklahoma, Iowa State, and West Virginia.

OMG these Brenda speeches are a form of torture prohibited by the Geneva conventions!

Those losses were after Lange went down, and if they get back to playing like they did in both Baylor games (second game they led until Lange went down) then they could be a then they could be a handful for any team. I don't think Aston is as good a coach as Tara but she has more horse!

 

[JordyG]

OMG these Brenda speeches are a form of torture prohibited by the Geneva conventions!

I was just going to say her tone, timber and content just doesn't change in those pre-game rants. It's like nails in your ears. If you went back in time every player from 10 years ago could probably repeat word for word the same speech given today.

 

[HuskyNan]

Who are you rooting for?

MD up 3-0 in the first minute of the game . WVU puts up an air ball

 

[JordyG]

WVA coming out showing nerves upon nerves with air ball after air ball and jittery play.

WVA looked so bad ESPN switched coverage to texas NC State

 

[JordyG]

Texas comes out surprisingly showing nerves. Meanwhile DePaul letting Schaefer get off two wide open 3's. MSS leads 7-5 at the first TO.

 

[HuskyNan]

WVU up 9-5

 

[Plebe]

Wow, Taylor has picked up her 2nd foul in less than 2 minutes of play. She is Texas' best defensive player by far. Not a good start for the Longhorns.

 

[JordyG]

NCST wants to work that high screen with the quickness of their guards. Texas wants to play insids out.

 

[Blueballer]

Unfortunate that all these interesting games have started about the same time. Wish they were spaced out a bit more.

 

[JordyG]

WVA's athleticism throughout the lineup is giving Maryland problems.

 

[HuskyNan]

Texas seems prone to frequent brain cramps. The kids are probably too amped up

 

[JordyG]

People talk about Martin's athleticism, but this WVA team has quickness and athleticism through all 5-7 players.

 

[Plebe]

Lots of fouls early in NCSt-TX. Five called on TX, four on NC St in just the first 4 minutes of play. At this rate there will be lots of foul trouble.
And there's another foul on Texas, Atkins' second.

More like 5-6. They are not a deep team.

 

[LETTERL]

Refs calling lot of fouls in the NCState/Texas game. Brianna Taylor and Ariel Atkins already have 2 fouls each for the Longhorns. 4:51 left 1st quarter...12-12 game.

Jen Mathurin has taken two charges for NCState.
