Week 11 - Jan 15 to 21

[hoopsnloops32]

SC at aTm could be a rough game, #1 defense vs #2 defense, aTm is 11-0 at home.

Where do you see that? Massey has them at 20th on defense. Texas AnM will be lucky to stay within 20.

 

[nwhoopfan]

@triaddukefan you might have to find your Washington hat...and set it on fire! Dawgs down 5 at home to the worst team in the conference. If they lose this, I'm starting the fire Langley brigade.

 

[LETTERL]

Virginia showing a shooting prowess they have not shown up to now...and up 3 now on FSU, forcing a timeout.

 

[BRS24]

Brink out today against Oregon State.

 

[BRS24]

And although we are trying to watch the Bucs v Lions game, the only WBB station working on our cable box is SECN, so I'm missing my round the world watching on ACCN & PAC12 stations. Grrrr.

 

[LETTERL]

Freshman Kymorra Johnson put up a 30-burger and Virginia hangs on to upset #15 Florida State on the road, 91-87.

The middle pod in the ACC (Duke, UNC, NC State, Virginia, Virginia Tech) is something else.

 

[Plebe]

All credit to the prescient powers of @triaddukefan who put FSU on upset watch today.

Sigh I don't know what came over me to think that an ACC team wasn't going to play down to its mediocre opposition. Hopefully the voters will take notice and consider dropping FSU from the top 25.

To review, Virginia came into this game 8-9 and 0-6 in the ACC.

 

[nwhoopfan]

North Carolina vs. Louisville is gonna take about 15 minutes to play the last minute of the game. Foul calls every few seconds, both teams in the bonus. Exciting basketball!

Carolina is about to beat Louisville which I think will put them in first place at the moment.

And their losses were to NC State (twice), UNC, Duke, Notre Dame and Georgia Tech. They weren't losses to bottom-feeder teams.

How would you describe Wofford?

 

[LETTERL]

How would you describe Wofford?

I was talking about ACC losses. Yeah, Wofford a head-scratcher...but Virginia was on fire today. They will be even better if, and when, Mir McLean returns. It's been over a year now since her ACL injury.

 

[Bone Dog]

Here's my predictions for this week:

• UConn -- 2 wins
• Villanova upsets Marquette
• Vanderbilt beats Auburn, loses to Tennessee
• Indiana -- 2 wins
• UNC -- 2 wins
• USC -- 2 losses
• Stanford beats Oregon, loses to Ore St
• tOSU upsets Iowa, loses to MD
• Virginia upsets ND
• Duke upsets NC St

So far I'm 11-3, just waiting on 3 more games: Vandy-Tenn, USC-Colo, and Stanford-Ore St.

I called Iowa, Louisville and F$U... I knew Louisville was gonna lose, and had a feeling about UVA.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Davidson loses again, this time to Duquesne, drops to 3-4 in A-10. I am just befuddled by this.

Hey now. My Terriers didn't deserve that stray.

I had to hold my nose through the Louisville/UNC battle. I rarely ever want UNC to win in anything but the rest of the league needed a Louisville loss.

The downside is...UNC now tied with Syracuse for 1st place.

They beat Duke but lost to the Dukes.

Virginia also got destroyed by Oklahoma, who in turn got destroyed by UNLV if I recall correctly.

But maybe this win puts them in UNLV's spot anyway lol.

Syracuse played a dreadful (ND hangover) game against UNC in their loss. I wonder how they’d fare at home and/on a neutral court?

Gotta give it to Coach HLJ for turning the program around so quickly.

 

[Bone Dog]

I'm watching the tOSU-Iowa game replay now. Caitlin comes out hot as does McMahon. The reffing in the first quarter is not absurd. We'll see how it develops.

 

[LETTERL]

Shea Ralph all pumped up...quick 6-0 run, all on turnovers, ties the game at 62-62, a little more than 4:00 to go between Vandy and Tennessee.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Washington is DEAD to me. Trailing Arizona St. at home by 12 w/ 3 minutes left.

 

[Bone Dog]

Juju fouls out at the 5 minute mark in the 4th quarter. Now we'll see how good the rest of USC is.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona @ Washington St. was close most of the way, but the Cougs are running away now. Up 23 late.

Hey, at least the Zona fans don't have to suffer thru another heartbreaking close loss today.
