Thank goodness for Lexie Brown

Syracuse knocked off #11 Florida St. 76-69.

 

[BigBird]

She does look much leaner doesn't she?

And perhaps quicker?

And perhaps quicker?

I think so.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon St. can't take care of the ball. 14 TO's halfway thru 3Q. But USC isn't make them pay for it, Beavers leading 47-33.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Beavers falling apart. TO's 4 or 5 possessions in a row. USC kinda sucks today but they've closed it to 49-39 late in the 3Q. TO's are gonna be the story of the year for OSU. They just cannot take care of the ball.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC whittled a 14 point deficit down to 4 at the end of the 3Q. OSU should be able to petition the NCAA for immediate eligibility for Slocum because they don't have anybody that can handle the ball. That's a hardship.

 

[nwhoopfan]

22 TO's early in the 4Q. Can the Beavers get to 30?

 

[nwhoopfan]

ASU was up 10 but Stanford has got it back down to 4 heading into 4Q.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford just tied it up, ASU has to call a TO.

 

[Roger G]

ASU back up.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC up 2 w/ possession, about 8 seconds left. OSU has scored 21 points in the 2nd half and has 27 turnovers. This team has serious issues.

 

[Roger G]

Ekmark did a couple of nice things down the stretch, drawing a foul on a drive and scoring from in close.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC gets first conference win 65-61. Beavers absolutely stunk this weekend in LA. Pathetic showing. They won't be winning a 4th conference title in a row, that's for sure.

 

[triaddukefan]

the beavers let me down this weekend

 

[nwhoopfan]

ASU up 10 w/ 46 seconds left. Their zone defense befuddled Stanford most of the game. Sun Devils are 4-0 in conference. If Oregon loses to UCLA they are all alone in first place, if the Ducks win they will be tied. Several teams at 3-1. It's real early but already the conference race is pretty intriguing.

 

[Roger G]

Ekmark and ASU taking down Stanford. She's not doing a whole lot, but she is helping her team. I'm happy for her.

 

[Centerstream]

Courtney Ekmark is in fantastic shape

Seemed to me that she had lost a couple of pounds but like you said, fantastic shape.

 

[Centerstream]

George Mason vs. George Washington on CBSSN at 6PM ET.

 

[Centerstream]

GW tallest starter is 6'1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

After OOC my expectations for Washington were increased somewhat. Not a good start to conference play for them. 0-3 entering today's game against Colorado. They jumped out to a 20-9 lead after the first quarter but have been outscored 50-34 since, midway thru the 4th quarter. Losing at home to Utah and Colorado is pretty disastrous. That might be the most winnable pair of games they'll have all season. Amber Melgoza having another good game, but nobody else scoring much.


edited--Melgoza has 28 on 10-17 shooting, nobody else from UW in double figures. I am stunned by her improvement from last year. It's not fair to try to compare her to Plum, but she's really been fantastic the last 10 games or so. I don't know if I noted this in another thread, but the game last week against Oregon she scored 23 in the 4th quarter against the Ducks. That's kind of rare air, players that can get 20+ in a quarter.

Everyone was saying this years Carolina team is better than last year’s.

Who the heck was saying that?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Does Stanford make the NCAA tourney? They're 9-7 and they have Cal twice, Oregon, Oregon State, USC, UCLA, and ASU again.

 

[triaddukefan]

Who the heck was saying that?

Maybe they meant that the Carolina Panthers team was better than last years... that was true...... but unfortunately our season is over
