Overtime.
The rest of the games today will have a hard time living up to the quality and excitement of this one.

 

[DefenseBB]

Meanwhile, I am stuck in ACC purgatory- either ND/BC 59-42 or Louisville/Wake 52-37...

 

[Jmsdawg]

I have to give NC State fans some credit. I don't know what their attendance figures are like, but just watching it on TV they sound loud and engaged. Great environment for a game.

Just the opposite for Maryland Penn State, ranked team at home on national TV and more empty seats than fans.

NC State getting the edge in OT. Just took a 5-point lead with 1:30 to play. Emery has missed a lot of shots today.

 

[LETTERL]

44 seconds left...VaTech ball. NC State up 66-61. Freshman Elissa Cunane has come up big in OT.

 

[Plebe]

Free throws matter in close games. Cunane for NC State hit 2 on one end to get the 5-point lead for State. Then Alexis Jean, who has played very sparingly this year, misses both on the other end.

 

[LETTERL]

Call overturned...NC State with the ball.

 

[Plebe]

That call was huge. Forced Tech to foul and Leslie makes both for a 7-point lead.

This will be 2 tough OT losses for VT: one to Syracuse and another to NC State.

 

[LETTERL]

Leslie now with 25 points...70-61, NC State...34 seconds left.

 

[LETTERL]

NC State finishes the game on a 9-0 run to improve to 18-0, 5-0 ACC with a hard-fought 70-61 win over VaTech. Kiara Leslie with 25 points...Ace Konig added 23 for the Wolfpack Women.

 

[Plebe]

NC State survives what figures to be its toughest game in the month of January. Next up are Clemson, GaTech, Wake Forest and UNC. After that the true tests begin: road games at Florida State and Syracuse, followed by a home game vs. Notre Dame.

 

[Plebe]

Virginia Tech, meanwhile, is in desperate need of some wins. They do have a win over Rutgers, which is looking a lot better now than it did in December. But they're now 0-5 in ACC play. They now move into the softer part of their schedule, starting with home games against Florida State and UNC.

 

[Plebe]

Penn State is giving Maryland yet another difficult game. Just two weeks ago they played in Happy Valley, where it was a close game until 4Q. Maryland started off strong in this game, but Penn State has stormed back to tie it at 29 in 2Q.

 

[triaddukefan]

Lemme go ahead an put two bottles of cider on ice

 

[HuskyNan]

Watching LSU vs Alabama in the SEC Network. LSU is up 33-25 with 1:24 left in the first half. Kayla Pointer is pretty much most of LSUs scoring

 

[HuskyNan]

The SEC announcers make every player sound like an All American and every made basket a huge accomplishment

 

[Crazyhorse]

Much like Kiah at FSU, Leslie has been one hell of a transfer pick-up for NC State.

 

[nwhoopfan]

So....anybody notice that Maryland's 21-9 early lead has evaporated and they are now trailing Penn St. 35-31? 1:09 til halftime.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tied at 35 at halftime. FG shooting by quarter for PSU--Q1-19% Q2-63%

 

[nwhoopfan]

Rutgers up 9 at halftime over Michigan St.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Apparently Penn St.'s leading scorer sat out the first quarter for disciplinary reasons.

 

[HuskyNan]

A’ja Wilson in the studio at half time. She’s pretty good - I’m impressed

 

[Plebe]

This dude hosting the halftime desk can't pronounce anyone's names correctly or get the team names right smh.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Louisville cruised to a 24 point win even w/ Durr having a very subpar game--8 points on 3-12 shooting.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

29-29 at Maryland right now
