Syracuse vs South Carolina, Stanford vs Notre Dame

[Plebe]

As I mentioned awhile ago, no one has put the stake through the heart of Tennessee just yet. Looks like they may have figured out how to play as a team.

I gotta say, when seemingly the entire world was shoveling dirt on Tennessee, I had this sneaking feeling that their luck could turn on a dime. I don't know exactly where the turning point came, but clearly it's turned.

Turner is totally out of it for ND. Ineffective on both ends of the floor.

I agree, but I thought the same thing at halftime of the championship game last year, and she came back with a big second half. So we'll see.

McCall having a monster game

I tried telling anyone who would listen, that they would figure it out and that Holly deserved more time. They will find their way into a top 5 team I believe as early as next year.

SCar lost to Cuse ? That is embarrassing. I guess Staley is going to have to wait another year to get into the Hall of fame.

Turner is looking shell shocked for some reason..

What is this sorcery you speak?

Lindsay Allen is the best Flopping Point Guard in America

 

[Vowelguy]

Lindsay Allen rescuing nd, and now making their run. See if Stanford folds.

K. Mitchell is a chucker

Stanford doesn't take too many bad shots when they are ahead like many other teams do.

 

[EricLA]

If SC had anyone that could shoot from outside they win by double digits. Syracuse wasn't guarding past 12'.

Not only did Kara call it, but she said that SC needs to upgrade their outside shooting. Kaela Davis is NOT the answer to that at all. The #1 PG from the Canadian team junior program de-committed from SC. Unless Alisha Gray is a dead eye from beyond the arc, they will be worse next year than they were this year from beyond. Can't win it all with just a strong frontcourt...

 

[Jimbo]

Wow! Could someone please explain to me why? shouldn't this give ND an easier road? 538 might like SC, but pretty much everyone else knew that UConn wants to play SC more than ND or Baylor, I think. Or does that now include the increased possibility of a Stanford win. Go Trees!

I pulled the number before the late game tipped off, so it's not the Stanford factor. And when the day started, 538 agreed with you that Notre Dame was the most likely team to reach the championship game from that half of the bracket. So the only thing I can think of is that IF Notre Dame somehow doesn't make it to the championship game, they now won't be replaced there by anyone as good as South Carolina, which makes things easier for whoever emerges from UConn's half of the bracket.

65-53 Stanford 2:50 3rd ND needs a run here to stay in it

 

[HoopsFan21]

57-44 Tennessee 2:55 3rd

 

[GoUconn7961]

Samuelson is open on nearly every possession and they're not looking for her..

 

[HoopsFan21]

For the first time in a while this tournament is actually interesting!

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

SC is hitting threes and it makes a huge difference. They could always go cold in the 2nd half and the game may tighten up again.

So, it was your fault.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Samuelson is open on nearly every possession and they're not looking for her..

but she's a rebounder not a shooter

Nd has too good an offense; they'll be in it to the end.

 

[GoUconn7961]

Boy I hope Stanford can keep this up..

 

[HoopsFan21]

67-57 Stanford end 3rd

 

[CBus13]

Tennessee with 12 turnovers and Ohio State with 3. Yet Tennessee is winning by 11...14 to 8 foul differential

 

[Vowelguy]

Stanford 6-11 from free throw line.

I must be confusing her with our own KLS!
