Week 12 - Jan 20 to 26

[WBBTakeover]

Well, well, well. Kentucky

Live by the three...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arkansas chipped away at the lead a bit, but they must've gotten tired. 29-9 Vandy in Q4, 101-56 under 2 minutes left.

With a bunch of conference games played, now get a better picture on the teams.
Iowa at 3-6 in conference is in BiG trouble

How ‘bout that Toby? Is it safe to say she’s a front runner for ACC Freshman of The Year? She and Dani Carnegie are neck and neck for me.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tennessee continues their "close but not quite" tour.

There's something about Texas, I just don't think they are one of the truly elite teams this year.


edit--Vols have now lost 4 of their last 6...by a combined 8 points!

edit part 2--gonna be more losses coming, 3 of next 4 games are South Carolina (beat down coming), Uconn and @ LSU. @ Missouri will probably be the only win in that group.

 

[Baller29]

Great game between Texas and TN


There is no doubt the top SEC teams are SC, Texas, TN and OU

 

[darrell]

Tennessee gets South Carolina and UConn in two of their next three (both at home).

 

[triaddukefan]

Good ol Methodist on Methodist violence ....81-46 for the team from Durham

. MU scored 21 points in the first quarter.... 25 points the rest of the game. If it wasn't for a last minute 3 point shot... Duke would have held my mustangs to single digits in 3 straight quarters.

I do not consider this UConn team to be particularly athletic which could cause issues against Tennessee, but they’re so fundamentally sound that I can’t pick against them.

South Carolina in theory should roll, but Tennessee has a habit for keeping these games close and SC isn’t in that situation often.

Yeah, I’m with you on that. It took a huge game from Taylor Jones. She’s really good, but has a game like this maybe one out of every five or so.

 

[triaddukefan]

How ‘bout that Toby? Is it safe to say she’s a front runner for ACC Freshman of The Year? She and Dani Carnegie are neck and neck for me.

The missing games will hurt Carneige, but I still think she is the leading contender. Fournier played well again today... 24 points in 25 minutes. Her FT stroke is much improved.... when she goes to the line now, I'm surprised when she misses.

Spot on. I’m eager for this one.

When, if ever, has Cal swept Stan?

I'm gonna guess never.

Washington St. is probably bummed they don't play the Card anymore. Never beat them even once in all the years facing them in the Pac 10/12. This could've been the year!

 

[JellyBean]

Coach Lawson and Duke with Toby Fournier. Also, Ashlon Jackson and Tania Mair. Coach got something brewing at Duke.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Portland handled Washington St. on the road. Zags now all alone in first place in the WCC, although in a few moments St. Mary's will be tied with them. Portland and Wazzu 1/2 game back.

Oregon St. lost @ San Francisco. Beavs are just tough to watch this year. They've had a few nice wins, but every single game is a struggle, regardless of the opponent.

Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks are the best broadcast duo ever, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Who cares if they are fictitious characters.

Tennessee's schedule just got brutal at the wrong time. South Carolina (Loss) followed by Missouri (Win) then UConn (Loss) and then LSU (Loss). Four game stretch is going to be tough but once they get that, they got 6 games where they could go 0-6, 6-0, or some other combination. (Auburn, Ole Miss, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, and Georgia). Who knows what could happen.

Got some tail whuppings brewing up for upcoming opponents.

Gonzaga pulling it together. For a while there, it looked like Portland was going to runaway with the WCC. Way to go, Gonzaga!!

They just played @Tex to the wire and have lost their 4 games by a total of 8 points. Dunno why you're so quick to give them Ls vs UConn & LSU.
Pains me to say this, but they will win 6-9 of their next 10.
