UCLA vs Mississippi St - 3/25/18

[ASweet3781]

That was as CLEAN a block as you will ever see.

These college refs are terrible!

26.6 2nd quarter- clean block by UCLA...oops, not according to the ref

 

[Wbbfan1]

PAC 12 hasn't looked good against Two #1 Seeds today. Have to see how they do against the third #1 seed in Notre Dame.

 

[wbball novice]

Miss State has a lot of players who know how to score; leading by 16 and Schaefer hasn't scored. A tip of the hat to the serene Homecoming Queen Victoria Vivians with her super smooth shot.

Two E8 matchups. Two uncompetitive games.

OMG. I am not one to pile on the officials but Tina Napier ugh. SMH. She has no idea what a clean block is.

 

[DefenseBB]

Ok, here’s my theory: the basketball hoop by the MSU end has a lid on it and next half UCLA will play much better while MSU will struggle...

I am openly rooting against MSU...so my logic may be flawed.

Billings had what appeared to be a clean block in the 1st quarter but again not according to the ref.

I am sensing a pattern in this game too.

UCLA

Tina Napier is the official who made the worst foul call in history on a similarly clean block at the end of the Nebraska-Michigan game, which ended up handing the game to Michigan. I've never seen such a bad game-deciding call.

And here she is in the Elite 8, and strikes again.

Sad to see so many empty seats for such a good game

When there's a men's regional just before gametime featuring the local team (not to mention just 2.5 hours away), it makes it harder to sell tickets.

She absolutely loves the sound of her whistle.

Miss State seems to have solved UCLA's zone defense more successfully than UConn with Duke. Somewhat easier to do when you have Teaira McCowan.

 

[Plebe]

Billings having a nightmare game so far, 1 of 9 on FG and only 2 rebounds. She looks tiny standing next to McCowan.

UCLA absolutely must get contributions from her and Burke to have any chance of not getting embarrassed in the second half.

 

[wbball novice]

When UConn's excellent play overwhelms a weaker team, the game is labeled boring by some casual fans, but as is often noted, the pleasure is in watching the team execute good basketball. Both the Louisville and Miss State games aren't boring to me because of their execution -- maybe not UConn in one of its superlative games -- but they are playing pretty good ball. Only bad basketball is boring.

Question; on these charge calls, do the feet have to be completely out of the arc or can portion of shoe be on line? The second charge call on UCLA, looked like part of the Miss St player foot was on arc.

 

[wbball novice]

McCowan's first foul w/5 min left in 3Q

 

[wbball novice]

Vic Schaefer in Morgan William's face for that airball. Maybe one more pass?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

ESPN has clearly decided The Voice and America's Got Talent have the winning format in talking the game. Everybody has a story and you're going to hear it whether you want to or not.

 

[wbball novice]

UCLA trying to make a comeback at the end of 3Q, but Schaefer hits a big 3.

 

[wbball novice]

Let it be noted that when Jordin Canada went out of the game with a left wrist injury, almost the first thing she did when she returned to the game was dive for the floor and tangle with Morgan William. Now, later in the game, the arm is still giving her a lot of pain when she's at the free throw line. A real baller in this game.

 

[ASweet3781]

I remember when the regional finals used to all be on the same day. Now that the Final 4 starts on a Friday, that 24 hours LVille and MSU get on the Monday winners is big. Louisville gets almost a day and a half head start. I can't remember when we have played on Day 1 of a regional final.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I said 18+ for Miss St, so Vic don't fail me now.

I think Antonelli said "Onion ring" instead of Onyenweare
