Tourney Results - 1st Round

[cancontent]

Oregon State is playing UNC today and Oklahoma is playing Florida Gulf Coast. I just verified that Oklahoma State is in fact playing South Dakota State.

Lots of state schools with similar looking names, so I can see where the confusion came from.

This is where having only 10 provinces and 3 territories to remember has its advantages.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Big10 #10 (in league) over SEC#8.

Happy for Oregon, but will miss Vandy and Shea. Wanted to see more of Blakes & Pierre.

Vandy back next year with a little more ammo, and hopefully another step forward.

Vandy with a major portal addition could be terrifying, but thought they were getting a little too much press in NCAA previews.

 

[DefenseBB]

@WBBTakeover I would still qualify this Vandy season as a huge success. Their two stars are a freshman and sophomore and they lacked post season experience as evidenced by all the fouls. Now they have it. As @visitingcock notes, a few more quality portal transfers (including a post player) would drastically help this team. I think most forget how dreadful Steph White was as a coach with them 13-55 in league play never finishing better than 12th in a 14 team league.

 

[Zarathustra]

I hear you but Prince's last 2 fouls were legit offensive calls. I was with 2 referees who made the same assessment while the games were live. Hard to see her foul out that way, but they were the right calls.

Agreed! Prince made the Freshman error of going "too hard" to
the basket on that 5th foul. Three problems: 1. a fifth foul = you're
gone. 2. the two-point basket is erased!! , they needed those points, and 3. Louisville gets the ball back for Jada Curry to get two for two foul shots, and then: AGAIN, two for two fouls shots. (Nebraska had to foul) and H.C. Walz had
the answers in his back pocket: a 90+% foul shooter! Nebraska then had a time out for a last-ditch attempt to do SOMETHING. The pass inside went and over the team
mates HEAD. (I guess she took her eyes off the ball). Possession
back to Louisville. I saw the grey hairs forming on the Nebraska's
H.C.'s head! On to TCU and Hailey Van Lith!!!

When Shea headed down to Vanderbilt a substantial number of us were less than sanquine about her ability to turn Vandy into a power for the simple reason that it would be hard to recruit against the powerhouses ahead of them in the SEC. Shea is an excellent coach but she does not draw in enough horse power. Apparently the SEC 54M+ isn't much help to her program. Her slice may be very thin.

Stuelke picked up 2 fouls almost instantly for Iowa. Interesting that Heiden checked into the game before O'Grady.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa in serious foul trouble. Stuelke has been sitting the whole game. Olsen and Heiden both have 3. Those 2 have scored almost all of their points.

I wanna say something, and you know what I wanna say..,... But I will refrain

 

[Plebe]

100 points.

I guess they were saving it up when they face-planted against Kentucky and Georgia. Good strategy.

 

[ISUnorth]

Iowa in serious foul trouble. Stuelke has been sitting the whole game. Olsen and Heiden both have 3. Those 2 have scored almost all of their points.

And pops in 13 points before getting a dumb freshman foul for her third. She's going to be a good post for Iowa, especially considering their aptitude for developing posts. Gal runs the court REALLY well for a gal her size (and she has some size and muscle).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa finished the half on a 7-0 run w/ Olsen, Stuelke and Heiden on the bench. Continued the momentum into Q3, blowout city now.

Young went out with an injury for Murray St. She'd been fairly quiet anyway, but can't help their chances.


Jeez, it's a layup drill for the Hawkeyes now. One easy basket after another.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Murray State over Iowa

 

[triaddukefan]

Vandy with a major portal addition could be terrifying, but thought they were getting a little too much press in NCAA previews.

I do know that Creme picked Vandy to upset Duke.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa was already blowing the game open when Young got hurt, but it looks like Murray St. completely shut down at that point. In boxing this is where the ref would have to step in and stop the match because one of the fighters is defenseless.

 

[TheFarmFan]

Lol we've had the same record beaten 3x in a row during this tournament. I'm trying to decipher what that means. First Notre Dame with the 52 point beatdown record which holds until South Carolina wins by 60. Then that record holds a few hours until Duke wins by 61. Is this a sign of the widening gap from the transfer portal, coincidence, or something else...?

UConn says, "Hold my beer," up 50 not even at the halfway mark.

 

[nwhoopfan]

92-57 final. 12 players scored for Iowa. Olsen's shot wasn't really there but she dished out 12 assists. 2 Fr. off the bench w/ career highs in scoring.

Riddle me this. How did Murray St. get 19 FTs to Iowa's 4, while MSU attempted 30 3's to only 17 for Iowa? That don't make no sense.

 

[nwhoopfan]

We have a new most lopsided game, UConn by 69.

 

[nwhoopfan]

That surprises me, JuJu is already up to #9 in career scoring at USC.

 

[triaddukefan]

We have a new most lopsided game, UConn by 69.

Bullies

 

[triaddukefan]

My Spartans held U$C to 12 points in the first quarter.

 

[Vowelguy]

NCst only up 6 on #15 Vermont heading into the 4th !

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bullies

Yeah but they let their opponent score 34. Not as stingy as your team.

 

[GamecockFam]

Another head scratcher...USC has only scored 20 points in the first 15 minutes against UNCG.

We need to remember that these kids selected Vanderbilt to get a superior education. Basketball is nice, but not a priority. Shea is working marvels within that criteria.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Green Bay kept it respectable against Alabama.

Vermont was hanging around but NC State blew it wide open at the end.


Just not a good tourney for the mid majors.

 

[ERWUC65]

Bullies

Geno and Chris played in the 4th quarter

 

[nwhoopfan]

Another head scratcher...USC has only scored 20 points in the first 15 minutes against UNCG.

Unfortunately Greensboro is scoring a lot less. 10 points still approaching half time.

 

[triaddukefan]

Head scratcher? UNC-G leads the country in scoring defense. Put some respect on my Spartans

Yes and no. USC has been like this throughout the season. Not sure why they don't start off strong in the first half.

 

[Geew1992]

My Spartans held U$C to 12 points in the first quarter.

But only scored 11 in the half. Although USC isn’t gonna break any scoring records for a half either
