Week 15 - Feb 9 to 15

Vandy working on a trifecta. Coach, Player and Freshman of the year. Has that ever happened?
 
Texas TN game is going to be vicious on Saturday. I’m calling for a minimum of 2 flagrants and just as many ejections. Lot on the line.
 
Blowout Thursday. If you had Okla-Fla being the closest game of the day, kudos to you.

This is the second time in a couple of weeks that Harmon sat a lot in the second half. Both losses IIRC. And in this one she didn’t come in later. Anyone have any thoughts?

As I said last time, I think Geno would say "if they're not doing anything and not in the right frame of mind to play, why should they play?"

2-5, 2 asst, 2 turnovers in 18 mins. not what I think Vic expects from a supposed all-american type PG
 
Wheels falling off the bus for Oregon St. Swept last weekend against Gonzaga and Portland. Tonight at home against Santa Clara led 48-32 at the half...then outscored 51-22 after the break. What?! Went from first place to a 3 way tie for 3rd in a hurry. LMU is actually in 2nd place. Anyone call that?


edit--read somewhere else that SCU hit 12-15 from 3 in the second half; that kinda seems like cheating

Michigan was messing around and actually trailed Northwestern by 6 at halftime. Nothing that couldn't be fixed by outscoring NW 49-21 in the 2nd half.

Well this is slightly refreshing. Rather than throwing all the players under the bus a la Caldwell, Schaefer is merely throwing an assistant coach under the wheels of a large moving vehicle. What's up with SEC coaches this year?

Perhaps no more room under there...

In a battle of 'thrown under the bus' teams, Texas heads to Tennesee Sunday at 3pm.

Which team will show heart, toughness, and be on time for pre game shootaround?

Someone has to win, or lose less, to hold 2nd place in SEC.

Maybe the fact you potentially can lose to most of the SEC teams on any night is getting old. Big 12 had its moments but never tough like this. Plus, adding Texas and Oklahoma didn't make the SEC any easier for the previous members. Gotta take the pain along with all that TV money.

The pressure that comes with all money is probably pretty insane.

Oy.

Cant tell what he's implying
-- that the assistant did a bad job on the scout, or
-- the players didn't pay attention to/follow anything they were told
?

I take it as a bit of both. It's not like Coach Schaefer hasn't made similar comments this season. This gives off the same vibe as his comments after Texas' loss to LSU.

I’d say the latter, especially considering Rori & Jordan Lee playing less than 20 minutes and Justice Carlton less than 10.

Olivia Miles has 33 pts after 3 qtrs as TCU leads at Baylor 61-48

I turned it off after the 3rd. Baylor played really lackluster ball at both ends of the court. Once Littlepage-Biggs limped into the locker room I figured it would get even worse. But the fact is that TCU didn’t play all that well either. I mean, after a cold start, Miles was simply chucking in uncontested 3s. Might as well watch the pregame shootaround. Very little movement besides her and Suarez. Makes me wonder if the Big12 still counts as a power conference.

I’ve always kinda liked Nicki, but she’s really not doing a good job this season.

I said Baylor looked “interesting” earlier this season, mainly because of Littlepage-Buggs and Fontleroy. What could they accomplish with such a weak supporting cast? Well, not so much, it appears. As a team, they look unmotivated. And if Littlepage-Buggs is injured, then they are a very uninteresting team. Is it Nikki’s fault? Maybe. She has not had any significant recruiting successes after Littlepage-Buggs. And if her team lacks motivation, there’s no place else to look besides her.
 
Triple overtime thriller at UC Davis. The Aggies sweep UC San Diego as Megan Norris has 29 boards. UC Davis remains in third place and knocks UC San Diego into a tie with the Anteaters for the lead in The Big West. This game was a thriller.

Also in a late game matching two below average teams in the Big Sky the NAU Lumberjacks outlast Portland State in overtime 88 to 80. The Jacks desperately tried to throw the game away with lousy defense in the last minute but in the OT Portland State could only muster two points as the Jacks pull off a rare road win. Naomi White as she always does got hers with 25 points but she did turn the ball over five times. White is the leading freshman scorer in NCAA and should remain in the top 10 with this effort.

Some believe that Princeton is good enough to get an at-large even if they don't win their tournament.
