big 10 today: 0-4
They could be 0-5 in an hour. Don't think they will be, but it's certainly more possible that I could've imagined before tip-off.

Richmond is legit. Their coach is someone that should receive strong consideration for the same position at the flagship university in that state.
 
I have seen bored listless ucla a number of times. They can really crank up the defense when they want to.
 
All four 5 seeds should have been higher especially Ole Miss and Kansas St.
Hmm...Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee were all 5 seeds, who finished behind Kentucky in the SEC standings. And Baylor finished ahead of K State in the Big 12. Conference record isn't everything, but I don't really see how you can justify moving all the 5s up when you look at who the 4s are. Maybe Ohio St. and/or Maryland are suspect.
 
Halftime scores:
1 SC trailed
1 UCLA tied
2 Duke trailed

TCU only 1/2 seed with a big lead

And that's why they play 2 halves. Plenty of games I would've been happy to call it good after 20 minutes.
 
UCLA's ability to turn all the way up is impressive.
 
This got me thinking about career Tourney wins for active coaches. Geno must be miles ahead of the field. Mulkey is probably way up there, Frese, Walz, maybe Schaefer. Staley is picking them up rapidly but started well behind those others. Graves is probably in the top 10. I might be totally overlooking somebody, but for the most part you've got a bunch of coaches without very many Tourney W's. Rueck probably has more than the vast majority of active coaches. I'm gonna have to look it up, now I'm curious.

Regarding Walz they said during the game he is 41-15 in Tourney games IIRC, so now 41-16.
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).

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

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.
