Week 1 games (Nov. 25-29)

[eebmg]

Duke looks good. Some good motion play and shooting. Up 7-0 early. Broadcast Mentioned Duke as Kara's second choice after TN.

Best spacing and movement I've seen in the last 5 years.

 

[triaddukefan]

Useless trivia #1.... I was thinking of this last night.... the last 4 players who have worn #11 for Duke have either transferred out... or transferred in.

F PG Vanessa DeJesus looks good. #37 rank from ESPNw.

I like Kara's demeanor on the sidelines. Not celebrating with her players every little thing. I will clap when you win a Championship. (Geno like)

Agreed about DeJesus. Very poised for a frosh; she'll be a good one.

Did you see Kara when she was coaching 3x3 for USA Basketball? Very cool cucumber (although it's a bit different setup with the coaches more removed from the court).

 

[LowkeyX]

And now we know why Kim schedules the likes of Central Arkansas

How is LSU looking for this season, in the post-Ayana era? I'm curious to see how they fare against BYU.

Right! Bet she wouldn’t start that lineup against UConn or any ranked team for that matter

 

[LowkeyX]

At least in my case, I can get the SECN+ and ACCN+ through the free WatchESPN portal since my provider carries ACCN and SECN

Same for me... just peeked at South Carolina & Arkansas games

 

[eebmg]

Same for me... just peeked at South Carolina & Arkansas games

Yes with SECN+. Actually, having issue with ACCNx.

 

[donalddoowop]

Oklahoma-Houston starts in five minutes.

 

[JDuro]

Gamecocks lone freshman Eniya Russell not playing like a timid freshman. Already willing to take jump shots, driving to the hoop, and Dawn has her running some at the point. She looks good.

 

[eebmg]

Duke losing focus at start of 4th Q. Kara will not be pleased

 

[SECbbfan24]

Kentucky is very sloppy defensively right now. No R. Howard today

 

[Baylor1994]

I’m excited to see how Stanford does soon! I wish more pac 12 games were available to more people. PAC 12 network is never available in my region. Thank goodness it’s on stanford live so I can watch it

 

[triaddukefan]

The New Era is off to a good start.

Thanksgiving Day dessert is being served a day early, but with a twist. The hosts have stipulated BYOC (bring your own cupcakes).

Arkansas hosts Oral Roberts (167)​

Georgia Tech hosts Georgia State (296)​

NC State hosts North Florida (195)​

UCLA hosts Cal State Fullerton (193)​

Baylor hosts Central Arkansas (294)​

Cal Poly looked competitive in the first quarter, but Stanford stepped on the gas in the 2nd to go up 51-18.

108-40 final.

For the second year in a row, Houston takes down Oklahoma, this time in Norman. Final score: 97-85. The Cougs hit a flurry of 3-pointers in mid-3Q to seize control of the game.

Houston was led by RS soph (and UCF transfer) Britney Onyeje with 23 points and senior Julia Blackshell-Fair with 16 points and 9 rebounds.

Oklahoma was led by Maddie Williams' 25 points. Taylor Robertson was held to 13 points, as Houston did a good job of limiting her looks at the bucket.

 

[Dillon77]

The Notre Dame injury bug appears to have gone nowhere:

To paraphrase the Taking Heads: "Same as it ever was."

Hoping the Brunelle "nagging injury" is not the tendinitis that was just "kinda" brought up by Coach Ivey a few weeks ago (Brunelle apparently was fighting through it throughout 2020 season and post...).
Gilbert, no idea.

Irish faithful knew Vaughn and Marshall were out of the beginning of the season. In fact, I've been pondering if the 6'3" frosh guard/forward Maddy Westbeld would get a start or sub in wherever and whenever. Looks like she'll be "Maddy in the Middle" for at least the beginning of the season, and will be lucky to come out of the game at all.

Stay tuned.

A barnburner down in Buies Creek.... as the Fighting Camels of Campbell and the Eagles of NC Central head into double overtime 62-62. I dont think Ive ever watched a Camel game that didnt go down to the wire.

 

[triaddukefan]

In perhaps a mild upset... The Eagles prevail in Double OT 70-65 over the Fighting Camels. Central erased a 15 point 3rd quarter deficit.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Big debut for Cameron Brink.

 

[LoTrader]

Big debut for Cameron Brink.

Stanford is deep and extremely talented at every position. Stanford and South Carolina coaches have two starting fives to juggle into any number of lineups.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Rhyne Howard didn't play today because she was suspended:

Kentucky guard Howard suspended 2 games

Kentucky interim coach Kyra Elzy suspended All-American junior guard Rhyne Howard for two games for "not upholding the standards of the program."

[eebmg]

Anyone know the reason the UCLA game is delayed?

 

[Alydar]

An announcer said that both teams are in their locker rooms and scorers are at the table but no reason for the delay.
