Week 14 - Feb 2 to 8

Duke has really come together over the course of this season after a bad start while playing an extremely challenging schedule.
One of the differences from the start of the season, for me, is that they are making open shots that they should make.
Louisville really hung in there after a horrible start tonight, but their abysmal foul shooting eventually did them in.
 
Well done, Minnesota!! First win against a top 10 team since 2003! Yay!

Stinking Huskies. Looked terrible most of the game, made a late run but ran out of gas and time. The Cambridge sisters are everywhere all over the court. Good shootout between Jaloni and Sayvia Sellers.

Texas gives themselves more breathing room for the #1 seed spot. Harmon's statline isn't eye popping but she was hands down the player of the game. She's the best PG in America right now IMO. Incredible defender and she's just such a good facilitator and decision maker. I still think she has what it takes to make in the WNBA despite being undersized, she defends players 6 inches taller than her incredibly well.

Also, Aaliyah Crump is a monster off the bench, she's a huge difference maker for the Horns.

LSU was pretty much shut down aside from Williams. Flaujae had a forgettable game, Fulwiley didn't play well and Richard also struggled shooting. These two will likely meet again in the SEC Tournament and it should be a battle. Really fun game to watch.

And she's now the all time steals leader in Texas history. Her defensive intensity is amazing.

Flaujae feels like she has regressed and her stock has gone down quite a bit. To be a senior and not show in some in these big conference game is not a good look. And it’s not the fact that she went 3-14, it’s the fact that she continues to be a horrible decision maker and fail to make her teammates better unlike her teammate Mikaylah

WNBA scouts are noticing
 
FlauJae still going in first round despite odd senior year. Maybe later in 1st gets her a better team matchup.

TX played their best game of the year. Their defense was exceptional causing plenty of TO, but more importantly, leading to absolutely dreadful shots by LSU late in the shot clock.

Amazingly, despite being outplayed LSU kept hanging around. It was still a 4pt game in early fourth...then the dam broke.

LSU v SC still coming. We'll see if they learn from the TX film.

And not one timeout was called while having a string of 5 turnovers the two first minutes of the 4th and while Flaujae went iso ball with bad decision making

Also 11 shots for Williams is insane. By far their best player but she doesn’t demand or want the ball enough when her team needs her. See Vanderbilt game as well…

Does this mean you’ve finally put away the bag, for this season?

Having Riley Nelson as a starter has been HUGE. Early in the season she was still working her way back from missing last year, 13pts 9 rebounds and 2 blocks in this game... Can shoot the three, great in the mid-range... unselfish, and contributes on the defense side of the ball. Our lack of guard depth might come back to bite us.... but so far so good.

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm stunned sometimes to see the gap between haves and have nots in some of the mid majors. Today North Dakota St. beat Omaha 102-51.
 
Is everybody excited about today's MAC-SBC (Sun Belt) Challenge? Seems pretty late in the year for an interconference event like this.
 





Let me offer an explanation. High Point beat Radford by 38 points a few weeks ago. Today, my Panthers were missing its 2nd, and 3rd leading scorers. Not sure if its related to the altercation in the Winthrop game earlier in the week, or injuries. Judging by the tone of the announcers, it was something that decided this morning, and the team didn't have practice time to prepare for the absences

High Point's chance of a 30 win regular season is gone 😥 HPU's chance of a #13 seed likely is gone...... hopefully we can run the rest of the table and finish 29-3.
 
Tough weekend for Oregon St. Blown out @ Gonzaga, bad 2nd half leads to a loss @ Portland. Zags went 2-0, OSU went from 1 game ahead in 1st place to 1 game back in 2nd, with Portland nipping at their heels.

SC dominating Tennessee in the second quarter. I'm tempted to say Tennessee looks like a team with a broken spirit. But the fact is SC is who broke their spirit. And is Tessa the one who speaks in on-court huddles now? I'm used to seeing Raven do that. Has she passed the torch to Tessa?

UCLA seems to be beating Michigan but can't seem to pull away. I can't quite put my finger on what's stopping them.
