Tourney - Round 2

[nwhoopfan]

Dawn by my count has 46. Vic 27, Mulkey 64 or 65, Brenda 43, Graves 22.

Other notables: Bill Fenneley (25), Wes Moore (16), Scott Rueck (18), Kevin McGuff (17), Cori Close (16), Gottlieb (13)

These might be slightly wrong as Im doing mental math counting wins based on Wikipedia pages from my phone on a bus ride lol

Good job. A cursory attempt to find a list via google netted me zippo.

I'm pretty surprised Fennelly has that many. I know he's been there a long time but I was thinking they really haven't been winning much for quite a few years now.

This is the version of Kiki Rice that I thought we'd see last year. When she plays this way (you already know what you're getting with Lauren Betts), UCLA is tough to beat. The main question mark for them moving forward is consistent production from the wings (one of the reasons why they struggle with Southern Cal and one of the main reasons why they could be vulnerable against Ole Miss).

Fraud arse inedible nuts

I think it's time to have a conversation about Kevin McGuff.

I think it's time to have a conversation about Kevin McGuff.

Agreed but give it 1 more year, he has a strong roster back next season. People thought the program was dead in the water when Mitchell graduated in 2018 and he’s been able to regroup and keep the Bucks relevant even if they’ve underperformed the last couple of years

I am not impressed with Sedona. Bar the off court drama, she was a cone on defense for most of the game. Somehow she made the all B12 Defensive team once upon a probably-4-years-ago??

At least 5 times she just stood in the paint and ran up to help 5 seconds too late. She didn't even bother at one point to get up on her girl.
And apparently, according to reports, she wants to take an EIGHTH YEAR??

OSU GAME: Props to Tennessee for making the Q1 comeback. That game was a bloodbath of bodies on the floor every possession.

Cotie McMahon from those frauds is a decent player, but she is a poor sport and runs her mouth a bit too much

And her fingers

Curry having a monstrous game, but it looks like TCU is going to hold off the Louisville come back attempt. The Big 3 weren't exceptional today, but Emma-Nnopu and Hunter combined for 41 points on VERY efficient shooting, way way beyond their normal scoring contributions.


Okay it's final 85-70. Ville got as close as 8 but ran out of gas. 41 for Curry.

Louisville forgot that playing Defense does not mean running around the court chasing the ball. Clearly Walz has forgotten how to coach or has checked out on this team. He didn't even scream about foul calls. With a little cohesive defense the game would have been much better.

I wasn’t sure what I was seeing, but it looked like she was venting in the handshake line. Did she feel ill-used by Tennessee, or maybe by her own teammates?

You gotta remember that he had NINE freshmen (even though only about 3 of them play regularly)!!!!

It's his job to teach them defense and he didn't.

you try to teach defense to freshmen

Whoa. NCSU went 4 for 20 from 3 pt land vs Vermont on Saturday. They are 10 for 16 vs Michigan State at the half.

Coach Moore did say he wanted a faster start today. Think they heard him.

[cancontent]

Ooof.

 

[oldude]

The BIG has a lot of big, slow players and the conference will be lucky to get anything over 2 teams (USC & UCLA) into the Sweet 16, if that.

 

[triaddukefan]

This is some straight farmer on farmer violence .

The Southern farmers are taking the northern farmers to the wood shed

 

[FanInNC]

Going into the 4th quarter:

Azaiah James 10-16 from the field 6-11 from 3 - 26 points

Madison Hayes 5-6 from 3 - 17 points

Saniya Rivers 7-10 from the field - 15 points

That's 22-32 from the field from the trio of seniors through 3 quarters against a defense unlike any they have ever seen in their 4 year careers.

 

[FanInNC]

Rivers is going to finish 2 rebounds short of a triple double as Wes has emptied the bench.

17 11 and 8, not a bad day at the office.

Madison Hayes (All ACC snub) with 17 and 9

Azaiah James finishing with an efficient 26 and basically sat the entire 4th.

A fitting end for a very special group of seniors for their final game in Reynolds.

 

[WBBTakeover]

Were they really comparing NC State, one of the most athletic teams in the ACC, to...Harvard?

 

[triaddukefan]

 

[Vowelguy]

And that's why they play 2 halves. Plenty of games I would've been happy to call it good after 20 minutes.

My point was the competitiveness of it: of the 8 higher seeds yesterday, 3 lost, 3 trailed/tied at half, and just 2 were in hand. Not bad.

 

[Stagnant]

Rough second round for the big 10.

Azaiah James 10-16 from the field 6-11 from 3 - 26 points

True, but when during the season has NC State shot like they did from 3 today? Dealing with that type of efficiency would be tough for a lot of teams.

I seem to recall LSU winning an NC largely on the strength of a hot hand from 3 in the 2nd quarter. Jasmine Carson went 5-6 from 3 and 22 total points, and before they knew what hit them Iowa was down 59-42 at the half and never recovered.
