Tourney - Round 3

Westbeld had only one rebound? And Prosper spells her and only has one as well?

Has Maddy become a jump shooter? That’s not how I remember her from before the injury.
 
Welp! That's the last time that I cheer for ACC teams other than the ones I pull for in the NCAAT. How embarrassing! :oops:

I don’t think there’s much to be said. She’s either the woman who can’t get Notre Dame past the Sweet Sixteen, or she’s a good coach because people say she’s a good coach.

Maddy wasn't nearly the player she was last year. She was a great pick and pop player. Niele was running plays for her to cut in the mid range and she was taking those shots. She also took a lot of off the dribble mid range shots. She scored on the block with fade aways, and sometimes power post moves. This year she didn't have any of that.

we still have another game to go, before, you know ...

His work with Van Lith and Prince and the deep pockets in Texas project really well for TCU in the transfer portable

Post game interview with TCU players is a recruiting dream.

I know they get Maddie scherr back. Maddie Conner I still think has some eligibility. Donovyn Hunter should be back. I mean we've seen some of the names in the portal, they seem like great fits. I could see them becoming a big time program in the big 12. Very cool story.
Also as much as something went wrong for ND, it's tough to win when ur best players don't play well. Hidalgo hasn't been good in the sweet 16 so far. She's young and learning but she was a poy candidate for much of the season.heavy is the head that wears the crown. It's a team game, not one players fault. But it's just hard if ur built around a player performing a way and they don't perform in that way. Especially if the player takes a 4th of the shots. Like LSU can win with big 4 going 1-8 , cuz she only took 8 shots. It's the tough thing sometimes with volume shooters. I'm eager to see if a similar thing happens with Booker on Texas.

True. Still the best post-legend performance.
But depends on how delusional the AD and fans are.

Nebraska football fired Frank Zolich and Bo Pelini because their teams only won 9/10 games a year, and the fan base demanded 11+ wins. (In the decade since, they’ve had 2 winning seasons.)

Lordy. Hidalgo 3-19 and CItron 4-15. FG%, 3PT%, and FT% were 32, 20, and 75% for ND, and 50, 42, 92% for TCU.

I am incredibly impressed at how Hailey Van Lith comported herself (hi Doris!) today throughout the whole game. Even more impressed with her sharing her mental health journey, and here's hoping that it helps other players realize that asking for help and not trying to go it alone is totally ok. Her performance this year takes away all the ick from last season at YKW.

ND also taking over 20 more shots than TCU and still losing is crazy

TENN doesn‘t have press so much as just helter skelter chaos. They lose the ball nearly as much as they steal it.

I think that’s the point. Get steals and TOs, sure. But Caldwell also seems to want to make opponents rush things. And that seems to be happening. We’ll see if Texas can calm it down and just win.

Booker is pro ready and has looked really sharp in the first quarter against the vols.

Wearing 35 like KD her game is really strong

I’d sooner watch old reruns of the roller derby. Contact for the sake of contact. Take a game of skill and turn it into a scrum. Yuck.

Vic adjusted they calmed down and look fine in the second quarter

Btw: is this discussion or okay or would Nan consider it to be a game thread discussion

I'm thankful that WBB hasn't gone crazy like CFB with the "what have you done for me TODAY" firings, however with everything else in college athletics, it may come.

Kaityn Gilbert yesterday for the real fashionist coach - 3-4 for 7 points in key first half duty in the victory over the Pack

Maddie Connor - 23 in the first round and 9 in the second and so far in the 3rd game 11.

Vonleh 16 against old Miss

Your friend Gilbert also had a defensive play...yes a defensive play, that changed momentum in Q4, a sky high block on a layup that only happened as State player changed hands to finish.

Among many role players, Gilbert was the unsung hero. Her 7 points when LSU was cold, and defensive effort.

FJ had a bad game. She was focus of the D, and still may not be 100% right.

Williams plays a lot of positions, and also was important on D. Tough start offensively, but she was money in last 4 min, with ball in her hands as closer.

KG obviously used to being unsung from her time in the dirty t. Given the lackluster kitty performance over the last 3 years a tiny but steady decline each year I would guess the fashionista coach might be reflecting on how she handled the myriad of players leaving the program.

As a Sun Devil fan I do take delight in the down bear down flow of talent from McKale as the trickle away from the Barn'es "system" seems to be escalating into a steady stream.

Barnes does have the last laugh I guess 1.2 million of those laughs

Solich.... And you're absolutely correct. Those idiotic firings particularly Frank Solich drove the Huskers into the desert the valley of Doom from which they will never return.

Husker fans are wonderfully supportive of their team but entirely and completely delusional in terms of expectations. They will never ever be in a position to compete in the Big 10 and constantly have a frame of reference from back in the 90s.
 
Maybe Tennessee will pull this out? It seems a year too early for them to be punching a ticket to the elite eight though.
