The day turned cloudy this afternoon

 

[Plebe]

I'm waiting for @Plebe to remind us that there are NO NIGHTS OFF IN THE DEEP, DEEP ACC.

I mean, could there be anything that screams ACC more than the conference leader losing to a team that just lost to Pitt 3 days ago?

 

[Vowelguy]

Before conference play started, I thought Arizona St. had a legit shot to go winless. Boy was I wrong. Just beat Cal, now 2-7. That's still last, but much exceeding expectations and they are in a position where they could actually jump ahead of a few other teams.

Oregon St. serving notice this weekend. Took care of Colorado, now hammering Utah.

 

[maple]

Kiltey was bad. VT can't afford to have off nights from her or Amoore in general

Yeah, I was surprised by Kitley’s bad performance. I didn’t think Syracuse was doing anything special defensively, she just couldn’t get anything going.

 

[Vowelguy]

I feel like you have to be pretty inept or incompetent to score that few in a half. And it’s not like Oregon has no decent players.

Oregon State is giving Utah a beat down after 3 quarters. 78-40. Almost doubled up. Beers and Gardner ae both having monster games

 

[maple]

Yikes..

I don’t follow MD. Are they dealing with injuries or something? Can’t believe Brenda’s let it get this bad.

Looks like Rees is thumbing her nose at her former team and Hansford is 4-4 from 3 off the bench.

This year OSU has a number of players who have stepped up at different times, you never know who is gonna have a big game for them.

 

[maple]

Got to hand it to Vandy, they played SC tough for 1/2 the game. They should feel good about that.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Uh oh UCLA!

 

[Vowelguy]

Uh oh UCLA!

And usc

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Uh oh UCLA!

Between this game and their game against Washington, I have a hard time coming to any conclusion other than Lauren Betts is the single most important player to her team in the country.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

And usc

Watkins 7-25 w/ 6 TO.

She's going to have those kinds of games mixes in with brilliance.

Very true. I'm still watching cuz they are still competing. It is pretty impressive. Cardoso was great in this game, one of her better performances this season.

And shout out @LoTrader . Oregon State really is impressive. And they play pretty unselfish.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Watkins 7-25 w/ 6 TO.

She's going to have those kinds of games mixes in with brilliance.

She's been shooting poorly in almost every conference game, the difference today is that she didn't get to the FT line.

How do you explain her getting benched against Utah and the Bruins were better when she wasn't on the floor?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon outscored Colorado 37-30 in the second half to make the score respectable, but the Ducks are in a world of hurt.

Gotta bring this one out of storage

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow, Donovyn Hunter must've really got going down the stretch for Oregon St. Finished w/ 17 pts/10 assists, I didn't even notice her stats earlier in the game. 91-66 final.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Washington desperately needed that. Had lost 6 of 7 coming into the game.

 

[Hester42]

Ole Miss beats TN at home

 

[Sluconn Husky]

How do you explain her getting benched against Utah and the Bruins were better when she wasn't on the floor?

Dunno. I just know they looked bad without her Friday and are getting creamed at home today.

 

[LETTERL]

Illinois upsets Minnesota, 73-68. The Illini now 9-10.
