Week 13 games (Feb. 15-21)

[azfan]

Great game.

Cal Baptist 81-Grand Canyon 77. Lopes with 19 offensive boards and turn Lancers over 22 times... BUT ... 10 for 20 from free throw line.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Olaeta 3 straight double doubles and continues to lead the nation in assists and apg.

 

[nwhoopfan]

South Dakota St. survives a border war w/ North Dakota St. 86-78.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Missouri St. in a dogfight w/ Bradley, up 40-36 midway thru Q3.

I really wish we could give Cal Baptist an exception to play in the post season this year. Call it the “undefeated” exception for transitioning teams.

CBU was supposed to host Oregon on Monday but the game was cancelled. It would have been 3 games in 4 days for both. Not sure the exact reason for the cancellation. I would have loved to go to a game but with covid I am stuck on the computer. I think they are eligible for WNIT, and they will be top seed in WAC tournament in Vegas. The pg, #3, Ane Olaeta is a pleasure to watch. She leads D1 in assists and apg. She is a senior, so I suppose her future is in the pros in Spain, where she is from.

Just a note from above, I do not have covid, in case anyone read the above paragraph and wasnt sure.

Dang, that would've been fascinating. UC Davis gave the Ducks all they could handle, CBU might've actually beat them. Ducks are completely lacking an identity right now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Missouri St. survives 62-56. I saw Drake took a loss to Illinois St. today, MSU probably wrapped up the Missouri Valley title tonight.

 

[triaddukefan]

Yeah. They really like to shoot it from the three as well. They sunk 17-40 against Stanford last year -- this would be a dangerous floater to have in the tournament given their prolific shooting if they were eligible. Almost like a FGCU style team that knocked out Missouri in Maples a few years ago.

I have at times referred to HPU as FGCU North as the Current Head Coach was a long time assistant coach at FGCU. I looked at the NCAA Stats and which teams are 1 and 2 in the country in 3pt'ers attempted, made, and 3pt'ers per game. FGCU and HPU. Unfortunately if they make the tourney.. they are likely to be a #15 seed and would be in for a whipping at the hands of a #2. If they were say a #13 seed.... they could scare someone for a half to 3 quarters.

That’s great intel for us as I didn’t know the HPU coach was under Karl Smesko. It this coach can get few P5 schools on his OOC schedule and win their seedlings in future NCAAT could improve like FGCUs will this year. FGCU is certainly capable of making a Sweet16 this year.

NAU Lumberjacks versus Weber State coming up at noon MST on Pluto TV. You can warm up for the Huskies 1:00 tip by watching the first half of the Lumberjacks game.

Actually it's a she..... Chelsea Banbury. I suspect she will only be here for a few more years. As with the previous 2 coaches (Jennifer Hoover and DeUnna Hendrix) parlayed successful seasons into higher profile gigs (Wake Forest and Miami of Ohio). She's fairly young... maybe 36.. and is really intense on the sidelines. I witnessed that upclose last year as the game I attended.... I sat behind the HPU bench.. maybe 6 feet from the coach. Very Intense.

 

[UCFKnights]

UCF managed to win another ugly game, their calling card, today. The end of year back to back games against USF are looming.

 

[azfan]

Jacks lead winless Weber State 19-16 at the end of the first in spite of a marked lack of interest in defense.

 

[azfan]

Jacks widen lead to 10 midway through the second quarter as Regan Schrenk looks to shoot and is 5 for 7 from the floor with 12 points.

 

[eebmg]

Creighton leading DePaul 42-36 at the half @DePaul. Game on FS1 for channel flippers That would be a painful loss.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Montana St. up 45-34 on Idaho St. midway thru Q3.

 

[azfan]

Montana State leading Idaho State headed into the fourth. A loss by ISU opens the door for Idaho.

 

[azfan]

NAU taking care of business 67-48 over Weber State. Point guard Regan Schenck with 27.

Edit 29

Edit 31 on 14 of 18 shooting. Career high. First Jack to hit 30 this season.

Edit final 85- 68 final

 

[triaddukefan]

A tight one over in High Point. Hampton was down by 17... now its tied 57=57 with less than 3 minutes to play

 

[azfan]

Montana State leading Idaho State headed into the fourth. A loss by ISU opens the door for Idaho.

ISU leads 70-68 with 42 seconds remaining.

 

[HuskyNan]

It’s 73-62 Creighton overDePaul with 3:35 left in the game

DePaul can’t throw the ball in the ocean from a boat

 

[triaddukefan]

Hampton leads HPU 63-62 with 26 seconds left

HPU takes the lead 65-63 with 23 seconds left

 

[eebmg]

It’s 73-62 Creighton overDePaul with 3:35 left in the game

DePaul can’t throw the ball in the ocean from a boat

And zero defense. DePaul a sieve. Creighton 59% 53% on 3's

 

[HuskyNan]

DePaul can’t score and Creighton can’t miss. Its 82-66 Creighton, 1:25 left
