Thursday 2/23 games

MSU-Kentucky going down to the wire. Vivians just hit a 3 to cut the KY lead to 1, 55 secs to play.

Tennessee was down by 7 with less than 4 minutes to play, but then went on something like a 10-0 run.

Lots of fouls called on Florida in the 4th quarter, virtually none against Tennessee until the Vols started fouling intentionally to give away fouls and eat up time.

The 5th foul call on Ronni Williams (FL's best player by far) looked bizarre to me. On another play down the stretch, Diamond went for a fast-break layup and got breathed on for the and-one.

according to the new rules breathing on a star is a foul
 
Wow. The KY player just steamrolled over Blair Shaefer's screen exactly the same way Kaela Davis did at the end of the SC-MSU game. This time the officials called it.
 
Murray for KY went 1 for 2 at the free throw line with 21 seconds, allowing Miss to tie it with a two pointer instead of a three pointer. You CAN'T miss those late free throws! (Right, Crystal?)
Going to overtime.
 
KY upsets Miss St. KY will finish no worse than 3rd in the SEC (who had that?), and would finish 2nd if they beat SC this weekend, and the Gamecocks lose to TAMU tonight.

On senior day for Epps and Akhator, KY prevails in OT.

Akhator finished with 27 points and 16 rebounds. When she's not in foul trouble, she is an All-American. Epps got 22 and 5 assists. Vivians had 27 in the loss.

Huge win for Kentucky, which puts them right back in the mix for possibly hosting. They'd dropped two tough OT losses in the OOC to both Louisville and Arizona State, so this one has to feel extra good for them.

IMO this loss moves Notre Dame up to #3 overall. If SC wins at A&M tonight, it might possibly put SC back at #4 and drop MSU to #5 (highest 2-seed). SC would still have more losses but also more quality wins and a tougher schedule than MSU.
 
Florida got hosed by the officials!!! The minute the bogus foul on Ronni Williams put her on the bench the Gators offense stalled.

I really wish the players could decide the game and not the officials.
 
Kentucky is a good loss if Miss St had to lose. IMO this loss drops them to the 3rd #1 Seed. Notre Dame is still behind them as the 4th #1 Seed. The SEC tournament will determine which of the SEC teams gets the #1 Seed. This presumes Notre Dame wins the ACC tournament.
 
Like i said before.....

A LOT will be decided after conference tournaments. ACC/SEC/PAC12 could have any of the top seeds come out as the winner.

Should be a great finish!

IMO Baylor's win over Texas moved Baylor ahead of MSU, in which case MSU was already the third #1 seed coming into tonight.
 
SC took total control of A&M in the second half, and won comfortably without Coates (injured her ankle vs. Missouri).

Every game I watch, I see several questionable/ bogus calls that are having a big impact on the outcome of the game. I guess most fans are so starved for offense that they do not mind. I do, WBB is becoming unwatchable, just like the NBA.

The officials need to leave their egos in the locker room and let the players play. No one wants to watch some arrogant official show their superior knowledge of game, when thousands of fans see no contact or minimal contact, that the official claim is foul.
 
For those who arent sleeping yet back east. After 1 UW 20 Colo 18.
Osahor has 15 points and 5 rebounds.
Plum has only taken one shot. She has made 2FT's

For some reason the offense looks 100% better with Coates not in the game with Wilson or vice versa. I wonder if Dawn will play smaller with either one at 5 and 4 guards on the perimeter. It give both of them tons of room to operate down low and it also allows us to play much faster.
 
Half time in Seattle
Colo 27
#11 UW 38

Osahor has a Double Double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Also 3 for5 on three pointers
Plum has 9 points.

Osahor already has a double-double in the 1st half: 19 points, 10 rebounds.
Plum "only" has 9 points but she has 4 assists.
Colorado is playing pretty well, though. Not an easy out.
 
UW up 38-27 at half. Cold shooting other than Osahor. 5-17 from 3 for the team, Plum is only 2-7 overall (but 5-6 from the line and 4 assists). Osahor is KILLING Colorado, 19 pts. and 10 rebounds.
 
Wash 52 colo 37 2 minutes left in 3rd

Plum is not having a great shooting night. She has @16 points

Osohar already with a double double, 22-17.
 
UW starting to run away w/ it. Romeo is a barometer for them, when she starts dropping some 3's they're really tough to beat. Up 59-39 after 3 Q. Plum now w/ 18, 5-11 FG on a "bad" night for her. 0-4 behind the arc though. Osahor w/ 22 pts. and 17 rebounds. I think a lot of people are not appreciating Osahor's rebounding prowess, it's pretty amazing.

I love her. Maybe only a handful are still up to appreciate her.

When someone earlier questioned Osahor's strength, I almost popped an eyeball. Did you see when the Colorado player bounced off her like a cue ball off the railing? And I swear her hands are like high-powered suction cups. Time and again she comes down with boards in traffic among players who can jump higher than her.

The other part people don't talk about enough is her passing. She's like a combination of Courtney Paris's rebounding and Stefanie Dolson's passing ability.

UW wins 79-46. Plum and Osahor got an early exit. Plum finished w/ 25 pts. 6 assists 5 reb. 0-5 from 3 pt. range but 8-10 inside the arc and 9-11 from the FT line. Osahor w/ 24 pts. 20 rebs. 5 assists.

I did. Did you see how many players bounced off of Plum tonight? She's a mighty mite.

But to the point, anyone discounting Osahor as a player either hasn't watched her play or is seriously lacking in ability to evaluate players.

That leaves Plum 53 points shy of the scoring record. Still likely to happen in the 1st game of the Pac-12 tournament, but maybe not until the 2nd game.

I'm thinking I need to attend that game to see history being made. Hopefully she'll light up Utah for 35 or so on Saturday to make it more reachable in the first tourney game.
 
Washington is a good team and depending on where seeded will be a hard out in the NCAA. They clipped #2 Maryland last year and Kentucky at Kentucky.

Are you close to Seattle? I would love to make the long field trip up the coast.
