Congrats to PSU on the upset.

Duke headed out of the parking lot after the game

 

[Plebe]

Ohio State made zero FGs in the final 6:45. Tough way to win on the road.

PSU had shown signs of life, playing much better than their record, in recent losses to good teams. The result is perhaps not quite as shocking as on paper.

How bad is Syracsue? BLOWN OUT by Boston College today 92-51, and BC has not exactly been having a particularly good season so far. Maybe Coach Legette-Jack should've left town at the same time Dyasha Fair did, while she was still riding fairly high. Cuse are 7-11 overall and 1-6 in ACC.

Ohiost down 3 late !!

That was a paper tiger ready to fold. Much weaker schedule than LSU.

Next up ( but not today) Kentucky

 

[Centerstream]

Congrats to Penn State for holding on for the upset. Ohio State is no longer undefeated.

And just like last week with Georgia Tech, the ESPN (Michael Voepel) jinx strikes again. This was the Power Rankings headline this week: "NCAA women's basketball Power Rankings: Can Ohio State remain undefeated?"

Vandy up 37-26 over Tennessee at the half. Mikayla Blakes had 10 first quarter points but picked up her third foul 1:30 into the second quarter and had to sit the final 8:30. Vols seem to be a second half, fourth quarter team, so it's probably going down to the wire.

 

[azfan]

Oy! As the game winds down the praises begin for the nice coach from Delaware by the ESPN plus broadcast crew.

That's what Natasha Adair does - she rebuilds programs.

She's rebuilding the program at ASU.

They are rebuilding in Tempe.

No, NO, NO!

She is NOT rebuilding the program at ASU as the team staggers to a third consecutive 20 loss season. Why do they say this, it is demonstrably false, it insults the intelligence of the fans, almost as egregious as the insult that is the ongoing, glowing dumpster fire on the campus of Arizona State University. WHY DO THESE ANNOUNCERS SAY THIS? WHY?

The 2021 CAA coach of the year is a nice person - SHE IS OVER HER HEAD - it is obvious, even to a blind, non fan. . . . .the 8000 fans who witnessed the ASU disaster would not agree this is a rebuild.

This game's not even on any TV beyond SEC/ESPN+ right? Although I'm sure someone might could watch it if they wanted to.... You'd think they'd make this higher profile and play up the UConn vs Tenn angle in miniature if nothing else.

Still us by 6 with 5 left in the third. "Squeaky bum time" again like with the men yesterday.

Yep, only on ESPN+. Vandy up nine after three quarters. I'm too old to enjoy this.

I just went to ESPN website and clicked on WBB scores, and there was a "Watch" button next to this game ... signed in via cable provider and now watching on my laptop.

No gamethreads but. . .

 

[visitingcock]

Wow

 

[triaddukefan]

I bet this has never happened in college basketball before. Back to back days.... brother and sister make game winning shots

Little sister just knocked out Tenn..... Big brother yesterday

 

[triaddukefan]

 

[Sifaka]

Bad guys lose, good guys win.
Justice!

 

[WBBTakeover]

Wow--this was not a good weekend for Rocky Top hoops.

And Vandy gets back to back close upsets over their big brother rival this weekend.

Wow--this was not a good weekend for Rocky Top hoops.

 

[Bigboote]

Wow--this was not a good weekend for Rocky Top hoops.

Works for me.

 

[UConnCat]

Tennessee is a different team when the opponent doesn't turn the ball over 20+ times. Vandy today: 12 turnovers.

 

[WBBTakeover]

This latest last-second loss by Tennessee drops them to 3-3 in the SEC. Next five: @Texas, SC, @Mizzou, UConn, and @LSU. That is BRUTAL!

We've seen the excitement that comes with an out-of-the-box hire that can win early. Now, we're seeing the challenges associated with such a hire. Experience helps. I'm not sure who can be counted on as being "poised" and "experienced" on that bench.

I would be remiss not to credit Vandy for their role in the latest thriller They showed the mental toughness necessary to pull out the W. When they lost the lead, they didn't lose their fight and kept pushing. 2-3 looks a lot better than 1-4!!!!!

 

[Stagnant]

This is shaping up to be a really bad loss for Iowa.
