Muchas gracias, Ice.

Okay, with that block I will say that Kiah surpassed Doty as POG. Good contributions by the supporting cast when Bria is off and Tiff hobbled.

Tiff with the pretty floater !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting ugly.

 

[bajapugsley]

So this must be the longest thread ever! i see it was a defensive struggle so far. so much for those who said the ACC plays no defense!! ugly basketball is sometimes one of the tenets of a big defensive effort...

Tiff with the nice runner/floater. Up 17.

 

[alexrgct]

Almost 12 minutes without a FG???

KML doesn't have the usual soft-wrist look to her shot

 

[Replicant]

Time to feed KML...she's overdue to go off.

 

[huskeynut]

we're getting sloppy again

 

[alexrgct]

Come on! The only way Duke can come back is if they hit open threes and quick points, and we just gave them that.

Good timeout by Geno.

I don't sense panic in the "posts", and I get the lead up to #. That works, I just like to see the actual score now and then. No biggie if it isn't posted. Another margarita or Kaluha and coffee or cream and I won't be able to read it anyway.

You're whinning is wearing thin Chap! LOL! Just kidding!

WOW. There is a huge gap between the top 4 teams and the next best. If Duke is the 5th best team in the nation the Final Four is looking pretty predictable. There would have to be a huge upset or an injury for one of the top 4 not to make it to Denver.

Yes, and her shot is a bit flat because of it.

 

[VAMike23]

Let's play solid the last 5 mins and close one out.

 

[alexrgct]

Finally! Bria for three-ah,

53-38

 

[huskeynut]

Bria for 33333333333333333

Bria is $$$!

Seemed that way last year too, though.

Big Three by Bria, then defense gives up a three to Duke. Can't let that happen.

In prior years, I would be much more comfortable with a 12 point lead. Not after Baylor & ND.

 

[bajapugsley]

well uconn seems to be on line for a W, but it's a low scoring game. good for Duke for playing good defense and keeping UCONN well below their season average. question - how does Maryland put up 79+ on these guys???

 

[Replicant]

DEFENSE...Let's tighten the screws and finish this one right.

 

[VAMike23]

<whew> thx Bria

 

[Replicant]

Bria "$" Hartley

Early in the recruiting process, it was pretty clear that Williams was the stud post player in the class, but Kiah was supposed to be a fairly close second. This is what Geno saw in her.
