Sunday games ("Rivalry Week")

[LETTERL]

End of 3rd quarter...NC State leads 48-42.. UNC went on a 5-0 run to end the quarter after NC State had gone up by 11.

 

[LETTERL]

Miami leads Florida State, 43-39.

 

[Plebe]

NC State looked like they were about to run away with it, led by as much as 11 late in 3Q. But UNC went on a mini-run to end the quarter and closed the gap to 6.

Both teams have 3 players with 3 fouls each.

I just saw that V Stringer is taking a leave of absence ?

I just saw that V Stringer is taking a leave of absence ?

She plans to return for the NCAA tournament but not the B1G tournament.

 

[Plebe]

A really bad sequence for State there: Cunane picks up a rather cheap 4th foul going for an offensive rebound, and then Cruthfield picks up her 4th fouling Paris Kea on an and-1. That's 2 starters with 4 fouls early in 4Q, and Kea will have a free throw to tie the game.

 

[Topsail]

NC now leads. 52-50 what a back and forth game

 

[Plebe]

Oh boy. Crutchfield just fouled out with more than 8 minutes to play. Things are looking bad for State now.

 

[LETTERL]

Chaotic 4th quarter...with three ties and three lead changes. NC State up at the moment, 60-59. Timeout UNC, 5:18 left.

 

[Plebe]

Paris Kea is taking over much as she did vs. Notre Dame. She has 31 points now.

Cunane comes up with a tough catch in traffic and converts the layup to tie the game with 1:29 to play.

This is a pretty entertaining game. The first half was really low energy but it has ramped up.

 

[LETTERL]

DD Rogers has fouled out.

 

[eebmg]

Kea with a big missed FT. NC ST in the drivers seat

 

[Plebe]

DD Rogers has fouled out.

I thought that was her 4th foul.

 

[Rixxx]

Time out 1:00 to go 4Q Miami 60 FSU 54

 

[Plebe]

Wow, Kayla Jones is a 50% free throw shooter but just hit 2 huge ones to give State a 3-point lead.

Her play off the bench has been critical this game.

 

[eebmg]

Wow. 30' 3pt shot with time running out on the shot clock by Cornelius effectively seals the game for Miami.

 

[LETTERL]

WHEW! NC State beats UNC, 74-69. Wolfpack Women now 24-3, 11-3 ACC and remains in a third place tie with Miami. UNC falls to 17-12, 8-7 ACC.

 

[eebmg]

Good gut check win for NC State.

 

[Vowelguy]

Kea's missed FTs down stretch were killer for UNC.

 

[Crazyhorse]

Miami defeats FSU, first regular season win for UM over FSU in five years. This game perfectly illustrates FSU's main deficiency for this years team, a lack of size. I love Coach Sue, but I feel like her roster management is inconsistent at best, she knew she needed a big inside presence on this years team and failed to secure one, yet she landed FOUR guards when the need was post players.

Creme says an SC loss can push them out of the top 16. Game should be intense. Some major remote flip/flopping

Charlie Creme’s latest top 16, in order of seed in each region:
Greensboro: Baylor, Mississippi State, Oregon State, Miami
Chicago: Louisville, Stanford, Iowa, Marquette
Albany: UConn, NC State, Maryland, South Carolina
Portland: Notre Dame, Oregon, Iowa State, Gonzaga

 

[Plebe]

This win solidifies NC State's pole position as the last #2 seed.

And Miami's win over FSU helps to shore up their status as host.

Ha I love that Tennessee has fallen so far that a loss to them has dire consequences for a team's seeding.

Hebard in off the bench for Oregon. Has a brace on right knee
