Week 13 preview (Jan. 31–Feb. 6)

[nwhoopfan]

Portland just lost to LMU. That's a horrible loss for the Pilots following up their big win.

 

[nwhoopfan]

BYU looked horrible in the first half, were down by 15, but blitzed Gonzaga in the 2nd half 42-15 to win it going away. They avoided a 2 game losing streak, now the Zags need to do some soul searching on what happened after halftime.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wait, what?! Charlotte beat Marshall 39-37...and it went to OT? That score can't be real.

Marshall led 6-2 after Q1

Combined 25-126 from field (19.8%).
37 fouls and more than 25% of points scored via FTs (20 pts)

Thoughts and prayers to the 613 in attendance who witnessed the atrocity.

Not in WBB.... but Duke demolishes the team wearing that sorry arse light blue 87-67. It wasnt that close. GTHC !!!

ooc, who would you root for in NCSt vs nearby Wake?

 

[triaddukefan]

In North Carolina Big South Action.... The resurgent Camels of Campbell surge into first place with a 58-45 victory on the road at Longwood. They were previously tied for first place. HPU deep fried the Eagles of Wintthop 86-44. NCA&T went on the road and downed Radford 77-63. The running Bulldogs of Gardner Webb defeated the sedentary Bulldogs of UNC-A 89-77.

Even though State is a land grant and the enemy of our enemy.... I would pull for the local private school Wake

 

[Vowelguy]

In a battle of Ivy unbeatens, Princeton rolled to a 57-39 win over Columbia

If you stuffed your UW hat under the bed, you better burn all your 49ers gear after this one. Even though they won.

 

[NWHoopFan2]

From Tempe/Phoenix...they played ASU on Tuesday. No idea why they waited until Friday to travel to Tucson. Maybe because of a snow or sand storm?????

Actually, they played ASU Tuesday in Eugene (a makeup game). They were supposed to charter to Tucson on Thursday afternoon, but that charter got cancelled. They got a small backup charter to Tucson on Friday, arriving early - mid afternoon for a 8:00 tip-off.

Throw out the record books.

Wow, I can't even read a box score or game score correctly anymore.
I apologize for my misinformation.

 

[triaddukefan]

Miami should have stayed home.... faked some covid protocols or something. I'm amazed they ended up scoring 38.

Throw out the record books.

Hey hey hey.... you owe me royalties ... payable in pastries (preferred)

Somebody better come up with a false narrative quickly because the "ACC is incredibly deep" and "no nights off" mantras are losing credibility.

At least Miami isn't as bad as Virginia and Clemson and, well, about half of the conference.

I dunno who said that the ACC was deep and no nights off... but it wasn't me. That's more of a SEC and Pac 12 thing. Now I definitely said there are no nights off... but that was for the Big South.

Is Joni T serious? Horrible end of the game management by Georgia

 

[bballnut90]

Florida about to pull off another big win, up 1 against Georgia on the road with ball and a second to go.

I thought they ran a good play--got a wide open look that missed. Probably should've executed a few seconds earlier though.

They lost??

They didn’t give themselves a chance if they did miss the shot. The ran it down to basically a few seconds left

Finley definitely out coached Joni though. Baring a collapse, she should be unanimously the SEC coach of the year

I agree. Georgia should have run a play so if they missed, they would have had time to try another play to win the game. Florida is a surprised team in the country right now. Especially after the Lavender Briggs transfer.

Well, you missed it then. I'm pretty sure the exact collocation was "incredibly deep". I agree it definitely stretches the limits of the credible.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bad weekend in the desert for Oregon St. Fell to Arizona 73-61 today. TvO only Beav in double figures, scoring has been a PROBLEM this year. 3 Cats in double figures.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Speaking of can't score...Washington held under 50 points AGAIN. Got boat raced in the 2nd half 43-20 by Colorado after being tied at halftime. Can this year end already? (just for UW, everybody else can keep playing)

edit--Quay Miller hangs 18 on her former teammates, Hollingshed led the way w/ 20; Mulkey scored 16, nobody else did anything for the Dawgs
