Sweet 16

UCLA was the only team in that region who I thought could keep LSU out of the final four. Then I realized it was Close versus Mulkey.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Betts got only 9 shots. Malpractice.

 

[southie]

Colorado caught my attention when they won at LSU to open the season. I think they get it done versus Iowa and set up a rematch with LSU.

The Kiki Rice show.

Kiki Rice did UCLA no favors at the end of the LSU game driving to the basket. Even if she was trying to draw a foul rather than score, Betts would have been the much better option for both objectives. Betts could well have fouled both Morrow and Reese out of the game with more touches.

11 FTs though.

 

[JellyBean]

LSU really embracing that villian/victim role. Just depends on if they are winning or losing. Jeez.

 

[Centerstream]

I did not watch the game but when I looked at the box score late in the game, it appeared to be a foul fest...plenty of players with 3 or 4 fouls...
Was it?

The refs have been told to crack down on the no jewelry rule, but how about rules re: sportsmanship or taunting.

I have Colorado beating Iowa in my bracket, but man..... Iowa vs LSU is what Monday Sports Talk Radio needs

I didn't see anything outrageous. In the men's game it would be...part of the game. I didn't see Draymond out there. Lol

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Rice has talent, but something is not clicking with her and that offense...or coach. Sometimes I forget she's on the court.

 

[BRS24]

So, hoop experts - is it "just" a technical if Rice had collided with Mulkey when dribbling, after Betts made the block late in the 4th Q?

For every good play she made Rice made triple the number of poor decisions..........looked like a soccer player playing basketball player today....

 

[TheFarmFan]

Close is a wonderful person, a kind mentor, and a thoughtful champion for Women's athletics. Still not sold she's got the coaching chops to make a championship run though, and today hasn't shaken me of my skepticism.

But man, if basketball games were decided on justice rather than acumen, it'd be Close 100 - Mulkey 40.

Really? Ask Cam Spencer about that? Reese definitely taunted their bench. We may never know exactly what she said.

Reese definitely was saying things in the direction of UCLAs bench when she was leaving after the 5th floor.
Don’t know for sure it was TO the bench nor what was said, but given track record ….

 

[Centerstream]

I wonder if Dee Kantner will also be doing the Elite 8 game in Albany on Monday????

Can't make a call on a record or for something that the refs missed. I'm sure there were things she said earlier and they chose to...let them play. Game was over. Heck if trash talk was penalized...Mulkey would foul out.

Mulkey is always on the court... squatting as if that's her spot.

One thing floating around is that she said “that was a weak ass foul,” in response to a Ucla player clapping about her 5th foul.

Dunno if accurate

 

[FormerCTrez]

I was watching the men's game on TV, the women's game on my laptop, while listening to the Pack men on the radio. What a night

So I suspect you’ll be awfully tired today, to either listen to, or watch the Cameron Crazies suit up against my favorite team!

Wouldn't surprise me. Close seemed disturbed whatever she said. My thing is this. If that's her reaction... how would those words impact her players? Reese knows that she gets under people's skin.

Got two Peach Nectarine Red Bulls chilling in the freezer right now just in case

 

[BRS24]

Feel bad for Brink. Really loved her game, sad her career ends with fouling out with 8 minutes left

Stanford fans - do you think Betts would have made a difference last night?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Good thing Oregon St. won that first game yesterday...cuz it's been a lot of not good things happening to West Coast teams ever since.
