Week 11 - Jan 12 to 18

[BRS24]

Another great week of hoop my friends! There might be a few games missing, as ESPN's schedule update based on new t25 rankings didn't filter down to some of the days this week, and I tried to catch them, but eh. Eight t25 matchups this week.

Three undefeateds remain:
#1 UConn - Villanova (14-3, 7-1)
#5 Vanderbilt - Mississippi State (14-4, 1-3)
# 17 Texas Tech - Houston (6-10, 0-5) and Kansas State (9-9, 2-3)

Texas—SC looks to be a tough game. Maybe Vic’s not wrong about this vendetta thing. Maybe they’ll bounce back.

Big week for Louisville, 2 road games @ND and @NC State.

 

[LETTERL]

Missouri called for a technical foul for having 6 players on the court at one time.

Missouri closed the 2nd quarter on a 16-2 run. Alabama leads 32-29 at halftime.

I wonder when the last time Texas Tech was ranked? They jumped all the way from unranked up to #18 in the latest AP poll.

I know some people around here will be happy to know that North Carolina dropped from the Top 25 (along w/ Washington and USC).

edit--Michigan St. got no love from the voters for a pair of road wins against at least semi decent teams (one of them was ranked at the time). Stayed in the same place at #15. All kinds of movement around them. That's pretty weird I think.

Is there seriously only ONE game today? Not just one game with a ranked team, but one game period? Unless ESPN is really messed up, that's all they are showing on the slate on this glorious Monday (it was short sleeve shirt weather this afternoon here in the PNW).

3-3 zone? 🙄

Go watch some Unrivaled if you're bored!

Maybe because of MNF?

Also probably the first day of classes at a lot of schools.

Google/AI says Jan 2012 !

It is a playoff game, but there is MNF every week. I'm not aware of Monday's normally being a total dead zone for wcbb.

Alabama’s defense in qtr was impressive. One of the best I’ve seen this year. Problem is they obviously can’t sustain it for an entire game or half. AND…don’t EVER complain about UCONN missing bunnies. Watch the game. Heck …just watch the first 2 quarters!

Not this dead, but historically quiet. Historically, there was often a "Big Monday" game of some sort, the SEC Network often had one women's game, and sometimes one of the other networks. But with most of the larger conferences playing on Sunday and the rest on Saturday, it has, like Tuesday and Saturday, traditionally been quiet.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I'm suddenly reminded of one of the best cliches ever. It's quiet. Too quiet.
