Here we go folks. Things starting to get interesting with intraconference play. Top 25 teams, BE teams (blue), and undefeated in conference (green). Nine top 25 matchups this week.

Conference vs overall standings in top 8 from Warren Nolan's NET. ACC still a bit of a mosh pit with 5 teams 3 or more places apart in conf vs overall records. The tourney bracket byes beginning to look really important for some of the top 25 teams.

2nd place in the WCC Portland narrowly averts disaster. Pair of 2 point wins on the road against San Diego and Pepperdine, both really bad teams.

Beers out again for Oklahoma, and they are trying to give away a game at home against Auburn. Outscored 20-9 in Q4 w/ the clock winding down.

Ole Miss understands the whole "Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard" phrase. Great win for them. Wow!
Kentucky is also somewhat a pretender. They have beaten a few good teams but still haven't faced the best in the conference. They'll have a gauntlet with their last 6 games: 4 of those last 6 are Texas, LSU, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Kentucky could easily go 2-4 in their remaining games.

Iowa is gonna beat Nebraska. They will both be 7-6 in Big 10, but going in opposite directions. 5 straight wins for Iowa, Nebraska has lost 4 of 5. Not coincidentally Lucy Olsen is playing her best ball of the season during this winning streak.

How many times do I have to tell people you can't leave Taylor McCabe alone on the 3 point line? It's just not worth cheating into the lane or doubling someone else, you're going to get burned almost every time. Does no one do scouting reports anymore?

81-66 final, Iowa was in control just about the whole way. Olsen started red hot, went quiet for a while, then got going again. Season high 32 to go along w/ 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Stuelke and O'Grady never really got going, but McCabe, Affolter and Heiden helped out.

Prince really struggled for Nebraska. Big game for Rimdal but not nearly enough help. Markowksi struggled too but she put on some window dressing at the end when it was too late.

They really could have beaten usc earlier this season as well. Would have been big for their resume but they let it slip away

Good win for Iowa. I didn’t expect them to win both the Minnesota and Nebraska games. That’s huge though because their schedule is hard to finish up. I think they have ucla, michigan, and Ohio state to finish up.

Clear line of delineation now in the ACC. Big difference between #9 Virginia Tech and 10th-place Syracuse.
