Colorado also did themselves zero favors with shooting so poorly.

No worse than West Virginia did. Their bigger failure in this game was on defense.
 
Man I love watching these games but the narrative pushing is insane. Feel bad for Baylor fans, feel like they weren't talked about at all. And to end the game they said great offensive performance by juju. I really like her game, and think she's a rare talent but she shot poorly and forced a lot of bad shots. Idk, hearing tvo kinda got me thinking about it.

I haven't been able to put a label on Colorado in the past two years. Actually, I'm lying. They remind me of a random play yard pickup team in not knowing what you would get.

Narratives are just part of the marketing. What you said (she shot poorly) is the truth.

That was basically the impression I got watching them today.

Fontleroy did not foul Watkins. That was just pathetic.

I watched it on a big screen and it looked like a foul to me. I only got to see it the one time so maybe I got it wrong. What I saw was that Fontleroy’s arm was inside Juju’s arm but wasn’t on the ball. This isn’t to defend the rest of the calls. Jada Walker in particular should have had a few and-1s in the 4th.

I'm assuming with the exception of the first 20 minutes? A 23-13 halftime score and "great game" really don't go together.

13 at the break and stuck in the single digits nearly til half. That was some ugly offense. Duke can ramp it up on defense no doubt, but sometimes leave a lot to be desired on the other end of the floor.

Nice run by the Devils. They are on the rise for sure but need a shot creator to avoid these long lulls.

How bout redirecting to this:
Who will be 2nd best in the ACC next year —Stanford or Duke? ( I assume ND is preseason 1)

After the first 2 games, I thought SC might challenge for largest margin of victory. Anything possible, but getting to 200 would be a challenge now.

SC at 103 after 3 games
  1. 2016 UConn (+239)
  2. 2010 UConn (+214)
  3. 2013 UConn (+208)
  4. 2015 UConn (+197)
  5. 2000 UConn (+187)
  6. 2002 UConn (+161)
  7. 2019 Baylor (+159)
  8. 1982 Louisiana Tech (+158) **
  9. 2014 UConn (+156)
** Only 5 games. Average of 31.6 is 5th best. Given weakness of 1st round opponent, probably would've been 2nd or 3rd highest if a 64-team field.

Now 115 after 4 games.
