Sunday lineup (11/25)

[Plebe]

Nowhere near the quality of yesterday's lineup, but a few games worth noting:

Duke vs. #21 Missouri (Gulf Coast Showcase, 1:30p ET). Teams are tied 32-32 at halftime. Missouri will, like Duke a couple weeks ago, almost certainly fall to unranked status after losing big to Michigan. Both teams have struggled a lot this year.

Villanova @ UCF (1:30p ET). UCF leads at halftime, 32-27. A good test for Coach Abe's team, and would be UCF's most significant win since beating South Florida a couple years ago.

Washington vs. Michigan (Gulf Coast Showcase, 5p ET). Michigan should be the better team, but then again I thought Duke was better than Washington.

Fordham vs. #10 Texas (Gulf Coast Showcase, 7:30p ET). Texas played their best game of the season to dominate Michigan yesterday, but must continue to adapt to the loss of Higgs.

Wisconsin vs. Arkansas (in Nashville, 8:30p ET). Two power-5 scrub teams, to be sure, but Wisconsin has quietly gone undefeated at 6-0 so far.

UCF beats Villanova, 71-56, after a big 3rd quarter. After the injury to Laksa, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if UCF takes 2nd in conference ahead of USF.

Michigan leading 19-17 after Q1. 6 TOs already for UW. Seems like that's been a problem every game. They gotta clean that up.

Tulane may be a contender as well.

Michigan 34-31 at halftime. Both teams in the giving mood for the Holidays--10 turnovers apiece. Moser has been fairly quiet for UW so far this season but today is leading all scorers w/ 10.

Michigan was pulling away, up 53-45, but UW finished Q3 on a 10-2 run. All tied up heading into Q4.

[Plebe]

Michigan wins 80-73.

I caught the last 4 minutes or so of this game. Michigan pulled away late thanks to Hallie Thome and especially Nicole Munger, who hit seven 3s and a career-high 27 points.

 

[Plebe]

Fordham led by a point after 1Q, but Texas found its defense and finished the first half up 11. Charli Collier had some nice minutes in 2Q off the bench.

I heard the announcer say that Joyner Holmes is expected back in action next month.

Stanfords Anna Wilson(sister to QB Russel Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks) was taken off the court on a stretcher after falling into the Hawaii bench and hitting her head. The game was called with less than a minute to go and Stanford up 81-59. Wilson was taken to the hospital in Hawaii.
Lets hope all turns out okay.

Stanford’s Wilson hurt in Cardinal’s win over Hawaii

Some better news on Anna Wilson:

 

[nwhoopfan]

Glad to hear she's okay. Sounds like a scary situation. She's been injury plagued during her career, but nothing like this previously.

Without watching the game, the thing that really jumped out at me from the box score is offensive rebounding and more FGA for Michigan. Other stats were fairly even across the board.
