Week 11 games (Feb. 1-7)

[nwhoopfan]

Washington St. 22-15 lead over USC thru Q1.

edit--Motuga has 11 and Pili is scoreless so far. Raise your hand if you expected that...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Can Illinois win? Up 15-8 early on Purdue.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Big 2nd quarter for USC, now up 7 at the break against Washington St. Were down 7 after Q1.

Isn't Pili battling an injury?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Isn't Pili battling an injury?

Yeah. She had 17 Friday night but might have reaggravated it again at the end of the game, I thought I saw her hobbling.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Syracuse up 4 late against Pitt. 22 each for Cardoso and Lewis, 11 assists for Managakahia.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Northwestern was up big at the half but Michigan St. storming back w/ a 14-3 run to start Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

71-67 Syracuse win. 8-4 in ACC. Are they in 3rd place?

 

[nwhoopfan]

16-14 Colorado leading Cal most of the way thru Q1. Bears appear more competitive since coming back from a covid stoppage.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Never mind, Colorado running away 30-16 now. Cal still sucks.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Illinois wins! 54-49 over Purdue.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Colorado up 45-23 at the half. 8-10 behind the arc. Forman has 14 and Hollingshed 10.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Northwestern-Michigan St. going down to the wire. NW up 1 2+ minutes left. Sparty could've folded, being down 19 at the half but they fought back.

 

[nwhoopfan]

63-60 Northwestern survives.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Frida Forman is going nuts for Colorado. 23 points still in Q3, 8-9 overall and 6-6 behind the arc.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Colorado wins 67-52, and I doubt it was really that close.

I hate the dedicated threads -- completely destroyed usefulness of this board with clutter, but ok.

I’m with ya on this one.

Hard to find teams for #21-25. If a team in a P5 conference wins a bunch of games (without losing), it gets my attention.

It gets my attention as well, long enough for me to look at who they've beaten and refuse to reward them solely for beating the likes of Pitt and Clemson.

Meanwhile, a team like FGCU — who led most of the game over Arkansas and clearly would've stomped them if the NCAA hadn't miraculously withheld its approval of Bell's waiver until the very morning after the game — gets punished just for its conference affiliation.

Folks are still ranking Syracuse. I dont recall the details but at the time of my last poll, I thought GT was better than Cuse based on an ACC performance comparison.

My point exactly. Syracuse somehow still getting the benefit of the doubt despite no true top-25 wins and several soft losses. Then once one team gets rank-inflated just for their conference affiliation, that somehow becomes the circular reasoning to support inflating others' rank as well.

 

[LETTERL]

What is it gonna take for people to realize there are not more than two top 25 teams in the ACC.

Somehow GT magically started getting votes recently even though they hadn’t beaten anyone outside the deep pool of mediocrity that resides in their conference.

That was GT's 3rd game in six days...I think fatigue might have played a role. Plus, Wake Forest really had their backs against the wall if they still wanted to try getting into the post-season. Dangerous combination.

But no convincing those who do not want to believe in the ACC so I'll just stop right here. We may not have very many elite teams but EVERY team (especially now that Virginia has called it quits) is capable of winning in any given game. That isn't true for every conference.

I AM SO HAPPY FOR NANCY FAHEY!!!

Never give up. Never, ever give up!

The seat has got to be getting medium hot now for Versyp.

The Big South is like that. No nights (afternoons/early evenings) off.

I 100% agree. I enjoy the idea of being able to go into one thread, and if someone's excited about a game in that weekly thread, I might check in. I don't have the time or willpower to click into every single separate thread sometimes to see what's going on. The links are nice, but there's plenty of resources out there that provide links to games.

I'd say that one thread, with a link to the following for TV Streams would be the most helpful:

Hoopfeed is fantastic, and this is a great link for those who want to watch more games instead of scoreboard watch sometimes.

I like the idea of separate game threads. It makes finding information related to individual games much easier..and easier to perhaps turn my attention to a game that is tight in the waning moments rather than have one thread with disjointed comments that bounce from one game to another.

Just my $0.02.
