First it was an unknown medical condition, then a leg injury and now a VISA issue? I mean, something sounds not good about this.

They really need her too. It is very strange, but these issues aren’t all that unusual for international players who went to HS in US. Happened to players at both her former HS
 
Day 2 Gonzaga beats Rutgers 57-40. C. Viv's crew is offensively challenged yet again. 55 points in their last 6 quarters!

I just expect a number 1 team like them with 4 AA candidates to blow teams out. No one outside the top 8, let alone top 35 should be able to hang in that close. It's not men's basketball. We all know the drop in talent after the top 6 teams.

Did you watch the game? Did you know that the Irish were up in the mid-20's by more than 6 minutes left? At that point, McGraw started subbing liberally, with the intent of resting her "starters and rotation" I quote that because, as Orangutan pointed out, not only is Mabrey out, so is Jordan Nixon, the freshman point guard. In my humble opinion, McGraw realized game was over and wanted to rest legs for the 2nd game in three days.

And, btw, Gonzaga isn't chopped liver. They won the Western and made the NCAAs. I liked their ball movement and determination (after all, John Stocktons's daughter plays for them). And I suspect, Drake -- who also made the NCAAs -- will be a tough team, having already defeated Nebraska this season.
 
OSU must not have much depth as they had several players log over 30 minutes last night, which SC only had 1 over 20 minutes. It will be interesting to see if the Beavs are tired tonight.
 
OSU has been playing 11 every game at least until yesterday. That was the first game that has been particularly close. Plenty of depth in the back court. Plenty of bodies in the front court, but the overall quality doesn't compare to guards/wings.
 
Western Kentucky beat ETSU to advance to the 5th place game against Gonzaga. ESPN wasn't showing the score but on WKU's site it was showing 82-68.

@Dillon77 Did Jessica start the game against Drake? Or has She not played all game? Just was able to start watching the game and saw she was in sweatshirt and sweat pants. I hope she’s not out for a long time.
 
I noted that Danielle Patterson started in her place tonight. Hopefully nothing but a minor injury, or even better they were just being cautious about 3 games in 3 days.

Worth noting that Aquino is not travelling with the team to Vancouver. Rueck said it is a medical issue, one that allows her to practice and warmup, but not take part in contact.

Has now been speculation that she didn’t travel to Canada because she didn’t want to leave the country due to VISA issues.

Newest rumor is she was pregnant.Head bang
 


Ended up being ok without her. ND won by 18 and led by 26 before clearing the bench.

Jess dealt with ankle issues on and off last year, too.

She'll be okay. ND is deep enough to afford not having her for a few, maybe even against Geno. I wouldn't bet on that though.

I know she did. Okay good. I should’ve checked His Twitter I usually do.

Ogunbowale was 11-19 from the floor today, 30 points. I have no problem with that kind of performance. Young added 25.
 
OSU 10-6 over S. Carolina midway thru Q1.


9-1 rebounding advantage for the Beavs.
 
17-8 OSU after Q1. Terrible shooting by both teams--OSU 5-17 SC 3-18. This one must be UGLY.
 
OSU is hitting from 3, can't hit anything inside the arc. Opposite problem as yesterday.
 
23-12 OSU. Only 2 players have scored for SC, 6 have scored for OSU.
 
SC closed it to 29-27, then OSU went on a run at the end of the half. Up 37-29. Balanced scoring for OSU, mostly Cooper and Jennings scoring for SC.

Wow. Destiny Slocum really has a knack for the circus shot buzzer-beaters. At the end of the first half she hit a 3-pointer from about 40 feet fading to her left and heaving right.

She was only 1-8 from the field before that. SC had scored, took some momentum back for OSU.
 
That was a really nice buzzer for Slocum, and much needed as she was 2-9 from the field with 4 TOs and 4 assists. OSU playing well despite no post. They miss Gulich.
 
FG shooting slowly picking up for both teams--OSU 13-32 SC 11-33.
 
53-44 OSU after 3Q. SC has 3X as many FTA as OSU, keeping them in the game.
 
.-.
63-52 OSU, 4:41 left. They were up as much as 15. SC is suddenly hitting 3's after not not connecting on them pretty much the whole game.
 
Both teams have 13 fouls, but FTA disparity of 18-5 in favor of SC. Umm.....:rolleyes:
 
65-60. 22-5 FTA disparity. If SC wins, I'm protesting this game.
 
68-65 SC ball, called a TO, 43 seconds left.
 
Tied at 68, 24 seconds left. Epic collapse. I don't like SC.
