Week 1 preview (Nov. 9-14)

[rvwsleep]

Westbeld is racking up the rebounds for ND, 16 and still in Q3.

Yeah, she's a beast on the boards. W. Illinois has no one who can keep her from getting position down low. I'm not sure what ND will do when they play a team with height. They've been living within 5 ft of the basket this game this game.

 

[rvwsleep]

Belmont up 28-13 over Ole Miss, halfway through the second quarter.

 

[DaBball]

Ole Miss is down 28-13 to Belmont, midway through the second quarter.

Belmont upset Gonzaga in last year’s tourney and has a really under the radar player in Destinee Wells.

Auburn also struggling with Georgia Southern, leading 22-20.

 

[LoTrader]

Georgia looks great. They have most of their key players back, and they look very athletic, and play like a team that is in mid-season form. I won't be surprised if Georgia is ranked in TOP 10 in February, 2022.

Texas A&M also looks sharp.

Coach Yo....

Auburn I am not shocked struggling. Auburn was awful last year and then lost Unique Thompson on top of it.

 

[Orangutan]

Much better 3rd quarter from ND and then took the foot off the gas again in the 4th.

Brunelle spent much of the second half on an exercise bike. Not sure what was going on there.

Westbeld had a quiet 15 and 18 if such a thing exists. Miles was probably the best player for ND tonight with 16p, 11r, 6a.

I continue to think ND looks better with Citron on the floor even despite having minimal offensive impact tonight.

Belmont putting a beat down on Ole Miss, up 52-36 near the end of the third quarter

 

[JellyBean]

Gonzaga handling their business up 14 on Montana State. 31-17

Also...huge shout to the WCC and their streaming services! Whoever you guys go through or whatever you guys are doing, keep it up. Mid-major showing some of these P5 conferences how to stream some games.

WCC streaming used to have some issues, but agreed this is a very nice production.

Ejim looks like she's at the head of the line to be the next star at GU.

 

[Vowelguy]

Only top 25 team to lose so far is NCSt, but that of course was to #1 SC.

Tho Michigan and Tenn came close.

Ole Miss falls to Belmont 62-50

Ole Miss loses at home to Belmont, 62-50.

SEC, y'all.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gonzaga is playing Montana St. Looked at MSU's roster, their associate head coach is Sunny Smallwood. Wow has she been around. Been an assistant at most of the schools out West it seems like. I remember her stint with Washington, that's been a few years ago.

Ole Miss loses at home to Belmont, 62-50.

Hopefully LSU doesnt embarrass themselves verses FGCU this Sunday

11th place SEC

 

[visitingcock]

People may disagree with me but I have not drank the Kentucky koolaid for a while. Sure they have some good players but they always look so discombobulated and play down to their opponents most of the time.

Agree 100%.

Georgia is much better

 

[JDuro]

Belmont one of the best mid-majors in WBB for a while. NCAAT appearances 5 of the last 6 seasons. Ranked #4 in that mid-major poll posted here earlier by someone. Not really an upset for them to defeat Ole Miss.

If Olivia Miles keeps playing like this she’ll definitely be in the running for FOY. She’s been impressive since last spring. I know it’s early and I’m interested to see what other freshman will stand out.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Now the curse of WCC streaming strikes. Had to quit. Game is in mop up time and it's freezing constantly. Zags D is way ahead of their O. The Truongs, Kempton and Ejim looked good, not a lot of production from everybody else.

 

[LoTrader]

Recording a couple good games to watch tomorrow, as I will be courtside at Gill Coliseum for the Oregon State home opener today...GO BEAVS!

Arizona vs Louisville & South Carolina vs South Dakota State. Wish I could record the Tennessee game but not an option for me.

So happy to be able to see WCBB "live" again.

I went back and watched the first half of this game, and Belmont's ball movement and situational awareness on offense was remarkable, doubly so because it's the season opener. There's a reason they put away Gonzaga with relative ease last year in the NCAAT.

I'm also remembering how UCF traveled to Belmont for an early season game a couple years ago and got completely blown off the court because Belmont could not miss from 3.

Ole Miss was Ole Mess, to be sure. For a team that nearly got an NCAAT at-large bid, reached the WNIT final, and returned all 5 starters, they should've looked better.

Belmont has the return game to UCF in a little over a week. It is one of many interesting games for UCF this season.

It's on ESPNU. Game starting now. I'll be in the Chat for this one.
