[LETTERL]

Duke is playing its best basketball of the season here at the end...when you want to be playing your best. I'm surprised the Duke fans haven't been on here tonight, celebrating!

I believe our buddy Triad is celebrating with some souvlaki

Its always interesting to see how those Seniors perform who are on teams that are not assured of a post-season tournament play. Faith Suggs (sr) from Duke had her career high of 16 pts. She was as aggressive as Ive ever seen her play in a Duke uniform. Two of the Pitt seniors #1 and #4 played well in their last game for Pitt.

in terms of Thursday's ACC action. Syracuse should have no problems with UVA. Then it gets interesting. Tech is playing without its head coach and 2 starters. That school down the road will be without #44 and Stephanie Watts. I think Tech is gonna feast inside an on the boards and should win. Clemson hasnt been favored in a ACC tournament game in nearly 20 years. Will they feel the pressure of being on the NCAA tournament bubble.. especially since they are led by senior guards. Ive had the feeling all week that VPI is gonna be playing on Friday........ as long as Magarity stays out of foul trouble.

I see the Dukies winning too!

 

[Fairfield Fan]

The game of the day is Tennessee-LSU.

Tennessee "should win." But hasn't Tennessee made a habit of losing games it's supposed to win?

Lots of eyes on that game!!

This couldn't be more true. Loser will not be considered for the tournament.

Ha oops. Thanks for catching that. My dang secretary keeps screwing up!

On paper Tennessee should definitely win but Tennessee tends to drop the ball whenever they aren’t suppose to.

If Tennessee applies a lot of pressure on our guards, it’s gonna be a run away for them. We have gotten worse throughout the season handling the ball and cannot stop the turnovers.

I expect a tough game as this is a must win game for both teams.

As a LSU fan, I’m not very confident about this one

 

[azfan]

As a Sun Devil fan I need to share with you my worry and potential upset. The Lady Devils beat Colorado twice this year the first time by only six points. I believe Kennedy Leonard is back and playing. This is an early game and look for potential upset on the part of Colorado.

if the Devil's due get by Colorado they're going to face a chainsaw in UCLA who is playing the best basketball in the Pac-12 recently.

As to the Arizona SC contest I'm not sure that that really does have bubble implications both are destined for the Wnit in my view. it will be interesting to see McDonald for the wildcats versus the sisters at Southern Cal. This is actually is going to be the best game of the day in the Pac12

This is a great time of year for women basketball fans.

 

[DanishBulldog]

As a LSU fan, I’m not very confident about this one

UT fans aren't confident either, but someone is going to win and advance... I think.

 

[UCBaller2012]

Cuse up 11 at the half

 

[SECbbfan24]

Tennessee with 3 turnovers in less than 2 minutes

 

[Plebe]

Cuse up 11 at the half

We can start saying our goodbyes to Virginia. Really a disappointing season, having returned most of their key players from an NCAA tournament team.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Holly and her team are on pace for 40 turnovers

Tennessee leads 15-14 after one quarter

Its a turnover fest

 

[SECbbfan24]

LSU leads 35-28 at half

Multiple Tennessee starters on the bench with 2 fouls


Not a very pretty game.

 

[oldude]

I’m sure HW’s halftime speech to her team will involve some version of her tried and true exhortation, “You have to play harder!”

 

[BIGMAC]

LSU leads 35-28 at half

Multiple Tennessee starters on the bench with 2 fouls


Not a very pretty game.

GEAUX TIGERS.........

 

[Centerstream]

First time I have seen a side to side bobblehead - Holly W.
She seemed to have spent a lot of time on the sidelines just shaking her head.

 

[Centerstream]

Syracuse moves on.
