Instead of ppl complaining about Stanford being a 1 seed, it should be why was Ole miss an 8 seed. Shoulda beaten SC in Oxford, they can beat Iowa too

Watching Stanford go down, I don’t think they made or even took a shot outside of 5’ during the entire 2nd half vs Ole Miss. Credit to MS for a great win. But you can’t win without guard play or outside shooters, and Stanford had neither.

I could write the same critique as before
Only it was Stanford this time, throwing the ball away
again and again in the last minute or so.

That's a #1?

The SEC underachieves in the tournament for years after looking strong in the regular season, now they look mediocre the entire regular season and tear up the NCAA tournament. 10-3 so far, with Tennessee heavily favored to make it 11-3 tomorrow. Funny how these things work.

I said before Ole Miss is dangerous. Stanford has not been very good last month or so. Not sure what’s up with that, but not surprised. Congrats Ole Miss!

Watching Ole Miss vs. Gonzaga, I was worried for Stanford. For good reason apparently. Gotta be considered a somewhat disappointing season. They should've been better.

No team has lost on their home court. All 1, 2, 3, 4 still going. This is a boring tournament.

I watched a bit of the Notre Dame: Mississippi State game. An exciting mud-wrestling contest. Miss the basket, slog down the court and miss another basket.

Please, can we have some real basketball tomorrow.

This did not age well :)

Stanford is gone!

Hell and their losses aren't bad outside of Alabama who choked an 18 point lead to Baylor

Georgia and Miss St vastly overachieved and played down to the wire for possible sweet 16 appearances on the road

Other notables:
Angel Reese: 29 points, 19.5 rebounds, 4.5 blocks, 3.5 assists, 3 steals
Caitlin Clark: 24 points and 12 assists per game
Reese is a very talented player. I watched this and the Utah game. I thought the refs were extremely deferential to Reese. At least 2 clear (to me) charges called blocks and several fouls not called on Reese including one where she whacked a player in the head. They looked to see if it was flagrant, but didn’t call a foul. Gotta do something about the quality of refs, although as in the Utah game, probably wouldn’t have affected who won.

Many of us said that Stanford didn't have the guards to replace the Hull sisters and Wilson.

That said, it was Haley Jones who made critical errors down the stretch.

Ole Miss definitely underanked. But I think Stanford wins this game going away if they could make layups. At the end, Hayley Jones single handedly lost this one trying to force it on her own. Why they didn’t get it to Brink is unfathomable. So many missed bunnies. They deserved to lose with that performance.

I agree--and not just for ball handling, since Lexi did turn the ball over a bit, but for their (the Hull twins') intensity (especially Lexi) and the fact that Lexi's fearlessness took a lot of pressure (I believe) off Jones.

we’ll know Haley Jones’ decision in 48 hours
I don't think she can stay another year at Stanford, although she could, I suppose, go elsewhere as a grad transfer.
