Its hard to pick against Muffet. But I went with Blair and the Aggies. This game is a toss up. If TAMU gets the win Oregon (assuming they get by CMU) could get their 1st FF.

I'm not going to puff my chest out too far because I'm worried about every game this time of year. But it's really not a toss-up. Massey and Sagarin both have ND by 13. Massey gives ND a 90% chance to win.

There are a lot of variables, though, especially Kat Westbeld's ankles and the possibility of Chennedy Carter lighting it up from 3.

I hear you. What was the spread for Baylor over Oregon State?? Its the NCAA's and anything can happen. Its a toss up for me. Any of the games at this point are because anyone can beat anyone in a 40 minute game.

I'm looking forward to the Swaggy Aggie!

I'm looking forward to the Swaggy Aggie!

I prefer Chennedy Carter. That nickname is driving me nuts.

 

[HoopsFan21]

How many points for Swaggy Aggie today?

Muffet thought that was tipped? It was just a weaksauce shot from Mabrey.

 

[stwainfan]

I expect Aggies to win.

 

[Shades]

They should keep going inside. ND is weak on post defense.

 

[wbball novice]

Anriel Howard was sort of the unsung heroine of the previous game. Will be interested to see how she does this time around. When Mabrey's 3 goes in it really is nothing but net.

 

[Plebe]

I'm not one to discount the tremendous job Muffet has done this year, but if you're gonna get stuck with no depth, Mabrey, Ogunbowale, Young, and Shepard are four good players to get stuck with. Plus their all-glue player Westbeld.

Surprised that it's 20-17 A & M eight minutes into the first quarter. I expected ND to do better.

A & M is getting a lot of rebounds.

 

[Orangutan]

No judgment but Howard's pre-game make-up regimen must be exhausting. I've never seen a basketball player wearing more makeup.

 

[Orangutan]

ND just missing open jump shot after open jump shot. A&M is on a little run here but it has nothing to do with their defense. Mabrey and Ogunbowale are just misfiring a little.

I believe she was inspired by Jackie Joyner's regimen.

26-19 A&M end 1st

 

[wbball novice]

Carter's sly ability to draw fouls.

 

[Plebe]

What a bail-out foul by Young on Carter on the 3. She's not happy with herself.

This is not your daddy's A&M team. 26 points in the 1st quarter. Notre Dame better find some defense.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

26-19 A&M end 1st

I'm surprised. Think they'll be able to keep this up?

Jackie Joyner? Do you mean Flo-Jo?
