Marquette had a comfortable lead but St. John's has pulled to within 4, about 4 minutes left in the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

The 5 coming in are not all starters, but yes you're basically right. The group out there was playing badly.

Carrington was on the floor but she was the only starter I think. Lexie Hull is struggling badly today. She hasn't really gotten back on track since returning from injury I think.

Hahaha Brooke Weisbrod with the comedy:

"Last year Notre Dame's win over Tennessee was a turning point for their season. They came back from 23 down to win that game. Could this be the turning point for Tennessee if they get the win over Notre Dame?"

 

[nwhoopfan]

And while we're on NPOY watch, Megan Gustafson had 27 points on 12-14 shooting to go with 12 rebounds in Iowa's win over Illinois.

I like her consistency. Just about an automatic double double. Decent FG shooting today.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Smith got a career high w/ 34, added 15 rebounds. I think she got a curtain call, under 3 minutes left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

DePaul down 13 now w/ 2 1/2 minutes left.

Yes, the PA announcer told the crowd about Alanna's career high as she came out.

DePaul down 13 now w/ 2 1/2 minutes left.

This week has been carnage for teams ranked 11-25.

#18 Iowa State loses to West Virginia.
#17 Michigan State loses to Ohio State and #20 Rutgers.

At least Arizona State is playing a good team today.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dam Cancer game today, OSU in pink.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ugly start to OSU-ASU. Not surprising, usually a low scoring slug fest when these two meet. 6-2 almost 4 1/2 minutes in. OSU leading.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UW going with a different approach today, decided to not get blown out early. Leading Cal 9-8.

 

[triaddukefan]

At least Arizona State is playing a good team today.

Louisville aint good?

 

[nwhoopfan]

OSU is playing some stifling defense, up 8-3 at the first media TO.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Louisville aint good?

I think that's a reference to the opponents of the teams w/ demonic mascots today.

Well the Cardinals did play the Demon Deacons

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ah yes. I was only thinking of DePaul and Duke.

#9 Md also lost, to Mich St
#15 SC as well, though played well against Miss St
#19 Ariz St lost to Ore and trails early against Ore St

Oregon St will move up to #9
With MD only falling to #10 since #11-13 also lost
#11-16 should be a jumble
Rutgers will be the big gainer, moving up to at least #17

Little ol Wake is always overlooked

 

[nwhoopfan]

Excellent FT defense by ASU, OSU is only 1-4.

 

[nwhoopfan]

ASU post player takes 2 bunny hops, no whistle. Really? How do you not see that? OSU gone cold and ASU warming up, tied at 12. OSU was up 12-5.

 

[nwhoopfan]

14-14 after Q1. Beavs squandered a decent start.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UW hanging tough down 22-21. They are actually hitting shots, including behind the arc. Life is a lot easier when you can knock some shots in. They are sub 30% from 3 on the season, just horrible.
