Week 10 preview (Jan. 10-16)

Louisville finally pulled away from a pesky Syracuse 84-71. 20 each for Hailey Van Lith and Kianna Smith.
 
Iowa over Purdue 79-66. Czinano w/ 27 on 12-14 shooting. Clark never warmed up from the floor, but 14-16 FTs (?/!). She had 24 pts/8 reb/9 assists. She's had a bunch of near misses on triple doubles it seems like.

I guess I was wrong, Iowa finished 0-15 from 3. I figured after 0-8 first half they would have to warm up. They didn't. But 26-38 on 2''s and 27-30 from the FT line.
 
What in the world happened to Wright St.? They were in the thick of a highly contested conference race last year and knocked off Arkansas in the first round of the Tourney.

With a loss tonight they fell to 0-8 in conference and 1-8 overall. Has anybody dropped further from last year to this year than they have?
 
Geez, I enjoy watching Indiana. Having Maine ties, I have been watching them because of Holmes, but I enjoyed watching them tonight even without her. They had a nice win tonight.

The coach from last season is now at Memphis I believe. Didn't realize that they're winless for the season. Wow.
 
TN cs Vandy starting on SEC 9PM. Seeing the Giants of TN vs the height challenged Vandy team is pretty remarkable.

Arby's closed??? This early in the day? Those curly fries!
Expand ...

Before anyone accuses me of taking this thread on a tangent... remember I wasn't the one to bring up curly fries. That being said.... Arby's has been disappointing me lately... due to supply issues combined with labor shortages. I went to one Arby's a while back... and they said they were out of roast beef... and alot of them have been closing real early... like around 6pm..... aint nothing more frustrating than driving all over town to get some Arby's and they all being closed.... and this was at 7pm. The one I was going to tonight was closed due to the City Workers were working on a Power line...and the restaurant was closed.... as well as other nearby businesses.

I did have a taste for a Fish Sandwich......and I had a coupon for some curly fries.... but alas.. it wasn't meant to be. I had to settle for a _______ McDonalds fish filet the size of ______ 2 thimbles.. and some stale _______ fries. ... then I come home to watch that debacle in Cameron.

Is Nyah green injured?

She was in the protocol... not sure if she was back tonight. She has gotten little to no playing time this year. Its a mystery to some of us Duke fans.
 
Florida St. had a big Q3 and looked to be in good position against Georgia Tech...but then fell apart down the stretch. GT wins 68-64. Career high 24 for Cubaj. How is she averaging under double figures for the season?
 
I guess it wasn't mentioned, Texas A&M kept it close in the first half against South Carolina, but 2nd half turned into a run away. 20 point final margin.
 
#12 LSU escapes Missouri- 87-85 (OT). Missouri hit 15 threes :eek: but LSU owned the glass 45-31.

The SEC, ACC, Big10 & Big 12 are the most competitive that I’ve ever seen.

I don't think Oregon St. is a Tourney team this year. Haven't beaten anybody worth a damn yet this year. Didn't score for the last 3 minutes, let this one slip away from them against Arizona.

When you're talking about 4 of the 5 P5 you could just as easily say there's a lot of so-so teams and anyone can win on any given night. Based on my eye test so far, it's felt less like the conferences are deep than that they are all shallow - just not a lot of teams playing really clean ball on both sides of the court. Clearly college athletes are as pandemic-fatigued as the rest of us!

Geez Louise.

This is Virginia Tech's season so far, summarized in three bullet points:
  • Beat a bunch of total scrubs in meaningless games.
  • Got whipped in every meaningful game they played — including a drubbing at the hands of Missouri State, a team far outside the top 25 in polls — except ...
  • Demolished Duke not once, but twice.
I can't even begin to describe how typical this is of the ACC. Teams with nothing going for them get handed "quality" wins by overrated opponents, like hobos in the bread line.

An 11 point margin isn't what I call getting demolished :confused:

I agree (as of now) they’d be NIT-bound. They should be improved for the next 2-4 years with all those high ranked recruits.

It's looking less and less likely that the Duke/NC State game will be played on Sunday. The weather forecast calls for a wintry mix of snow/sleet/freezing rain across the western and central Carolinas late Saturday night and Sunday.

Would ACC move the Duke/NC State game to Saturday? If it does, there's no room on ACCN for that game to be shown, since 4 men's games are scheduled Saturday.

Perhaps they should just cancel the game at this point.

Looking at the Sunday ACCW schedule, several games are threatened at this point:

Duke at NC State
Syracuse at Virginia
Clemson at Virginia Tech

Have to disagree. Attended the game last night, and frankly was very impressed with Oregon State. Played without Taylor Jones, and it just came down to the last possession. AZ knows how to win in final seconds and OSU is learning how to win in final seconds. OSU played very well against the AZ team (with their entire lineup). OSU's defense is every bit as good as AZ's defense. It was a great game. This was OSU's first PAC-12 game. I would favor OSU in the next game vs Colorado on Monday.

My TV says there are games 4-10. But they rerunning the FB conference championship at Noon-4.
 
Not sure when it got added. Utah's game against Cal on Thursday didn't happen, so today they played (and destroyed) UC Riverside. Surprised to see Brynna Maxwell didn't start, but she did play. Jenna Johnson is continuing her strong Fr. campaign. They are scheduled to play Stanford on Sunday.
 
Marquette pounding Georgetown 55-27. Am hoping that it's because the Hoyas are short-handed.

Syracuse/Virginia and Clemson/VaTech games postponed due to winter weather. Announced by ACC office this evening.
 
Stanford's probably going to survive in Colorado with an ugly win. 41% shooting and 20 TO's to 11 assists. Really thought they'd be more dominant this year.

If you'd seen our two most recent games we've played @Colo, you'd realize this actually is being more dominant. For whatever reason, the away games at Colorado are our kryptonite.
 
Maybe truly dominant teams are a thing of the past. Everybody has looked vulnerable at times this year.

Hollingshed certainly didn't step up to the moment for Colorado. 2-12 shooting, 7 pts/3 reb. Sherrod w/ 6 on 2-9. Miller led them w/ 16. Like I said she always seems to play well against the Card, doesn't matter which team she's playing for.
 
After a long layoff, Washington kept close to UCLA for about 3 quarters, then lost contact. Only mustered 48 points. UCLA scored 63. Only 47 shot attempts. UW has to be one of the lowest paced teams in the country. In her Pac 12 debut Mulkey scored a whopping 3 pts. 6 reb, 3 assists, 1 block. When the transfer was announced I was excited, but after seeing her some in the OOC I lowered my expectations quite a bit.

UCLA totally bailed out by their transfer players. Thomas had 25 and Penn 16.
 
After a DISASTROUS first quarter (trailing 17-3), Washington St. settled in, then dominated USC the rest of the way and won 71-63 on the road. Can't ever count out the scrappy Cougs. USC I think is just forever doomed to be mediocre.
