No nights off in the Big South Conference
Nebraska @ Maryland--Terps were up 14 early, now Huskers are rolling, lead by 22 midway thru Q4. What a turn around in this game!
And Nebraska came into the game on a stretch of losing. This result is...surprising.![]()
Make that by 28 with 1:46 to go. YES!!!!!
You betcha!Nebraska @ Maryland--Terps were up 14 early, now Huskers are rolling, lead by 22 midway thru Q4. What a turn around in this game!
Not in the BIG10 this year. That gap you thought was widening is acting more like an accordion. Who knows what it will look like after this weekend?And Nebraska came into the game on a stretch of losing. This result is...surprising.
I haven't watched a lot of Texas. When I do, it seems like Oldacre is on the floor and Jones on the bench, appears it's either one or the other but not both on the court together. Oldacre presents some matchup problems because of her size and strength.@nwhoopfan I think we agreed Taylor Jones hasn't improved much in college, but I'll retract that statement after watching her today and vs. Texas. She's absolutely dominated Clara Strack today and had a great game against SC too. Also a monster game vs. Tennessee. Earlier in her career I don't think she always produced against good teams but she's been showing up big time in SEC play this season.
Louisville slowly working their way up those ACC rankings. More ammunition for a tough OOC schedule to learn for your league games!Louisville beat Florida St. 83-69 in Tallahassee. I questioned FSU a bit several games ago based on the ease of their conference schedule. They've lost 2 in a row since.
Same story all year. Play hard, get behind, find urgency, come up just short. Miami really wasn't awful, just no depth and lost what 11 (fixed, felt like 15) games by less than 10!Miami gave NC State everything they could handle, and the game was in Raleigh. 76-74 final. I continue to be surprised at how bad the Canes have been this year, this result seems to indicate they were capable of much more. Haley Cavinder is having a fine season that is being wasted.
This is accurate-they seem to exclusively sub for one another. Jones seems to be more of a high energy player, always posting up and is really physical. She kind of wears you down and then Oldacre comes in and is incredibly long and strong and just buries opponents in the paint, finishes around the rim and rebounds everything. I think they're proving to be among the best post duos in the country.I haven't watched a lot of Texas. When I do, it seems like Oldacre is on the floor and Jones on the bench, appears it's either one or the other but not both on the court together.

Anyway, after these last 2 games I probably have to change my stance on Texas. They are right there in the conversation among the top 6 or so in the country.
Getting back to this, I think the MVC Tourney will be fascinating. 1 bid league, a handful of teams near the top of the standings, fighting for their lives to go Dancing.Missouri Valley is getting more interesting tonight w/ Northern Iowa pulling off a big upset @ league leading Belmont. Well, they were league leading. Now tied w/ Missouri St. and Drake is 1 game back.
