Sunday's games

[JordyG]

At ND another 1:20 left and ND making another unranked team look like a Sweet Sixteen contender.

 

[JordyG]

ND tied with Virginny 63-63.
4Q 6:15

Does Muffet need a sabbatical to recharge?

She should have taken that sabbatical before choosing these recruits.

 

[JordyG]

Does anyone really think UV scores 74 against FSU or Baylor? Or any of the other top 10 teams?

 

[Fairfield Fan]

No upsets, no surprises. Lots or predictability this year. UConn has been the one big surprise. Otherwise, it's wait until March....

Don't see Temple giving us a game.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Good for Temple fighting back to make it a game at the end, but ugly, ugly game. Two unbalanced teams who have offense issues. Thought USF would show more.

 

[Zanzman]

Temple missed 3 three pointers at the end to tie the game. Good looks too

 

[Nuyoika]

Temple kept fighting to lose by 4.

 

[Plebe]

Even though they're the "ranked" team, USF probably needed this win for its resume more than Temple did. Prior to this, USF's best win was over Tulane. Temple has the big win over DePaul.

 

[Plebe]

It's a dissonant sensation to hear Mowins and Antonelli calling a Pac-12 game (Oregon at Oregon St).

 

[chuck.r]

Odd quirk in the conference scheduling - Oregon & Oregon State playing home-and-home back-to-back, in 3 days. Are they going to have an aggregate winner, a la soccer?

All of the Pac-12 schools were scheduled to play their "travel partner" (i.e. nearby rival) in back-to-back games. The lone exception is the Washington schools, which agreed to squeeze in one of their two games just after Christmas to avoid the back-to-back thing.

Acc craziness
Miami barely ahead of BC late
Louisvilke trails Pitt at half

... and Syracuse up big on VaTech at Blacksburg.

 

[Plebe]

Oregon and Oregon St are tied at 44 after 3Q.

 

[Zanzman]

Oregon up by 2 over state early 4th quarter

 

[Zanzman]

Ionesco looks good filling the stat sheet

 

[Plebe]

Whoa. Oregon gets hot to start the 4th quarter, now up 51-45 and forces Rueck to take a timeout.

Ionescu has 18 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 turnovers.

 

[ochoopsfan]

The Oregon v Oregon State game might be the changing of the guards game. UO is going to be a very good team and OSU loses their best player over the past 4 years. OSU will still be a solid team, as Rueck teaches them how to play the game.

It may also signal a changing of the guard for the PAC-12's top POY candidate - Sabrina Ionescu proving to be the real deal as a freshman, as Kelsey Plum completes her stellar senior season and college career at UDub.

 

[Plebe]

Wow. Sydney Wiese is taking over down the stretch, scoring 11 of her 23 in the 4th quarter,

That doesn't really surprise me. Always felt that VT was overly rewarded for going undefeated against a weak schedule.

I would assume that Rueck is going to start landing better recruits given the recent success?

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Is anyone else surprised at how these top-ranked ACC teams are barely disposing of mediocre teams?

Bodes ill for their tournament chances.

Huh?! But they beat Tennessee!

Agreed; not a surprise. VaTech is better than most expected, but still not that good.
