the rest of the Pac 12 2/8/19

[nwhoopfan]

In the exact opposite of what I expected, USC is leading Utah after Q1 23-19 and Colorado is all over UCLA 20-11 at the end of Q1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC is up 11 midway thru Q3. I absolutely did not see this coming.

Hey @nwhoopfan Looks like Utah is making a comeback. Are you watching this?

Following scores online but thanks to an error by the cable company I'm shut out watching anything on TV tonight.

USC up 68-59 after 3

Utah lost two tough games on the road at the Oregons last week, come home vs supposed lesser opponent and have a bit of a letdown.

 

[Plebe]

Utah is shooting 55% but -10 on rebounding. Three starters are in severe foul trouble.

Mariya Moore having her best game in a USC uniform, 22 points on 8-12 shooting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC is a fairly poor shooting team but they are hitting shots tonight. Makes all the difference in the world.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Now 68-64 as Utah hits a 3, a stop and a layup

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA-Colorado was tied at halftime, UCLA was up 6, but now only up 1. This one could go down to the wire. You really can't sleep on anybody in the Pac 12. Even the bottom feeders can bite you if you aren't careful. Robinson has 24 for the Buffs, she's really been scoring well lately.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Utah-USC tied w/ 6 minutes left and UCLA up 2 at the end of Q3.

Who would've guessed Stanford-OSU would be the least interesting game of the night?

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC and UCLA both up 3 w/ about 5 minutes +/- left in the game.

 

[ochoopsfan]

USC up 80-77 with 29 seconds left. Utah ball

 

[nwhoopfan]

Some big performances tonight. 23 for Mariya Moore, 24 for Dru Gylten.

In the other game Onyenwere has 22 and 11 rebounds, Robinson has gone off for 33.

Even the bad teams have some really good players in the Pac.

 

[ochoopsfan]

USC steals inbound and is fouled, makes both FT and now up 82-77 with 24 secs left.

Utah makes a 3 and USC calls TO with 15 secs left and ball USC 82-80

 

[ochoopsfan]

Utah steals ball and calls TO with 13.8 left down by 2.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA wins 64-60.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Utah steals ball and calls TO with 13.8 left down by 2.

Wow, sounds like an incredible finish.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oh, slightly OT but Saturday's Arizona St. @ Washington game has been cancelled due to concerns about the weather. Probably an over reaction but oh well. UW will avoid losing 17 conference games this year!

 

[ochoopsfan]

USC blocks shot with 1.8 left and is fouled. Shooting FT's and this one is over at 84-80

 

[biobioprof]

Wild end to the USC Utah game. USC hangs on.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Utah now on a 3 game losing streak. No time to celebrate that big win over Stanford. Now UCLA on Sunday is a critical game for them.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

Mariya Moore blocked the 3 pt attempt and Tapley got the steal and hit the clutch free throws.

Overall, a really fun game as was UCLA/Colorado.

I have a feeling Oregon/Cal won't be so entertaining.

 

[Plebe]

Huge win for USC. We all pretty much wrote them off after their 0-5 start in Pac-12 play. But this is a dangerous team with multiple scoring threats.

This win shoots them right into the bubble conversation. Suddenly their RPI is #41 and they have two solid quality wins over Utah and UCLA.

As Homer Simpson would say “Doh!” Sorry to hear. The ESPN gamecast is ok but real play by play would be so much better.
