Week 10 - Jan 6 to 12

[nwhoopfan]

Cal St. Northridge is playing currently, at home, and it looks like they are right in the middle of all the fires. Looks like Pepperdine and LMU are pretty close to equidistant to CSUN. Don't see any postponements from the Big West Conference so far.

edit--almost no fans there, but that might be normal for CSUN

Damn. No Poffenbarger or TeBiasu, no problem. Did they even need to have 5 players on the court?

Wisconsin actually was leading the 3rd quarter. The Terps defense was great in the 4th holding Wisconsin to just 8 points.

Thanks, interesting that Northwestern made the decision.

I don't know my LA geography well enough to be aware of exactly where the fires are and how close that is to various schools.

Northwestern elected not to play UCLA (about 6-7 miles from the Palisades fire) Sunday nor USC, about 16 miles from the Altadena fire, on Wednesday. UCLA offered to move the game to an alternate venue further from the fires but Northwestern declined the offer. The B1G officially designated the games postponed but I think the B1G will have difficulty finding new dates given the three schools’ schedules going forward. I can imagine if the conference can’t reschedule the games it will rule them as Northwestern forfeits for the purpose of determining conference standings.

BTW HC Cori Close and Assistant Coach Tony Newman live just east of the I-405 near the Getty Center and a few miles north of the UCLA Campus. Their homes are in an evacuation warning zone so they need to prepare in the event the fire moves eastward from Pacific Palisades and they get an evacuation order. Everything west of the I-405 in that area including the Getty Center in under evacuation order.

Yeah, my immediate thought is that Northwestern is not going to be very motivated to try to reschedule these games. That's a long way to travel for a pair of 30+ point beat downs.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Montana St. gets a big road win at Northern Arizona, gives them a leg up in the Big Sky race. All alone in first place and already beat the #2 team in their house. Rematch 2/6 in Bozeman.

 

[nwhoopfan]

One more team gets off the winless list. Cal St. Bakersfield beat Cal St. Northridge. Rode a big 4th quarter to the win.

Planned on watching the game when it's on BIG10+. Definitely will be watching to see how this all went down.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Portland beat San Francisco, St. Mary's also won. Now a 5 way tie for 1st place in the WCC. I'm gonna go ahead and guess no other conference can claim that currently. Also Oregon St. 1/2 out of 1st.

Terrifyingly close to UCLA. If they reach U$C, LA will all but cease to exist.

She was always going against the grain at SC and testing Staley. Has a me first attitude. Not surprised Az is seeing some of the same.

 

[Stagnant]

This Duke team has too much talent to look like this…

Surprise surprise! I don't feel bad for Adia. She took a player that everyone knew was toxic. If Jah didn't respect Coach Dawn Staley, what made Adia think that Jah was going to respect HER?

Unfortunately, I agree (currently watching the game). I'm starting to think that there's a coaching issue in Durham.

It’s weird, they were averaging 80 points per game less than 10 days ago, and all of a sudden nobody on that team can shoot anymore. The Duck blue devils are an enigma.

Triad has disappeared during this recent debacle.

 

[Geew1992]

I see duke is picking up right were they left off against UNC.

 

[Stagnant]

Kara seems like a coach that only understands defense.

Kara seems like a coach that only understands defense.

Looks like it. She has five assistants, and only one of them is new to the staff this year. What do they get paid to do? The bald-headed dude is the former director of player development--yet the players aren't developing. Toby looks like she's actually regressing. Reigan has disappeared. Jadyn still can't shoot.

They are in danger of losing to a poorly-coached team with a NET rating hovering around 100--led by a short SG masquerading as a PG and a twig that Miami didn't want anymore. That is INEXCUSABLE for a fifth-year head coach.

He's the reverse @nwhoopfan - if he's not proclaiming how "his" [fill in the blank] will dominate, their shooting totally disappears. Help them, @triaddukefan, you are their only hope!

The offense didn't look great against Pitt, a team competing with Wake Forest for worst team in the ACC this season. Something is amiss.

 

[Vowelguy]

Texas has 62 offensive rebounds but is 4 for 736 from the field in this SC game. Trailing by 14 in the 2nd.

Duke narrowly avoids an NCAA tournament resume-destroying loss.

And only has ONE assist

Hard to get assists when you’re 3 for 817.
