Just one of many reasons I'm happy to be in San Diego!The UCONN/ IOWA game is scheduled to start at 9:30 PM Eastern time, after SC plays NC State at 7PM.
Why does ESPN do this every time?
Couldn't they have a 6PM start for SC/ NC State & an 8:30 PM start for UCONN/ Iowa?
Plus, we know that the 7PM game won't start until 7:20, so the UCONN game start will be delayed.
Nika played all 40 minutes, had 6 free throws, all in the last 1:25 of the game, shooting 3-6 while being exhausted is not that bad. You had the 3 Seniors all play 40 minutes today and that's after 2 of them Nika and Paige who played for 40 minutes less than 48 hours earlier against Duke. So I can understand how they may not have a great day in shooting free throws.The foul shooting late... Added some unnecessary stress my heart could barely take. From here on out, they need to be better. A couple free throws could be the difference.
Another achievement for Paige.

Early foul trouble.I did not get to watch the game and was wondering why Ash did not play more minutes.
It's a shame that the people who should know better (collectively they are known as the "media") do not recognize Paige for what she does on both ends of the court. (I'm not taking anything away from CC)NIka Nika Nika.
I said she needs
8-10 points, 6 rebs 6 Ast to go with her tough defense and we will win by 8-10 points
she delivered just that.
KK, Ash, Ice and Q. All 4 have delivered in so many ways this season and they most certainly delivered tonight. 20 points 11 rebs collectively in a final Eight. The freshies!
Paige, the hell with your offense. It's been you're defense that has been all world. Blocks, Steals and head to head defense is the reason why you are the best.
Lucky you. I bought my al-BAIN-knee tickets early but I did sell them at a profit. The good folks at Ticketmaster will be sending me a 1099...So happy I bought my FINAL FOUR TIX in October!
Inspiring is so accurate. Those freshmen grew up a lot in one night!Saw them in Raleigh in November. They were lost. What a masterclass by The Goat. So proud of these kids. Such toughness - so inspiring.
It doesn't matter. He is the coach of the year.Hard to believe Geno isn’t a candidate for Coach of the year,
If that is true, Geno should speak to the NCAAFYI: Kyle Bacon is a Pac 12 ref. He called the foul on KK that was a charge and all those ticky tack fouls on UCONN.
Why the hell would he be assigned a USC Elite Eight game??
He might speak to them quietly. He would never accuse the NCAA publicly of any impropriety.If that is true, Geno should speak to the NCAA
100%UConn wins and LSU loses.
The basketball gods were very generous tonight.
