Week 15 preview (Feb. 14-20)

[Plebe]

Well, Alabama has re-established its winning ways over Tennessee. The universe feels a little more right tonight.

 

[Vowelguy]

It's unbelievable how many pathetic power 5 teams are still on the bubble.

68 teams!

If that guy has an NIL fund, I would like to contribute.

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

Tennessee goes down to Alabama 74 - 64.

AND, Jordan Horston suffered a left arm injury diving for a loose ball. No report of the extent, but they put an air cast on it while she was still laying on the court. Could be double bummer for Tenn

I heard Keyen Green didn't travel with the team. I'm just saying.

Based on the reactions from players...it wasn't good.

 

[UCBaller2012]

Absolutely horrible loss for Duke. They are trending down hard.

 

[UCBaller2012]

Mizzou has the best win of the season over SC, but they haven’t really beat anyone else noteworthy. Will it be enough to make the tournament?

Not looking good.

 

[Plebe]

Not looking good.

Creme has MO as a 10 seed, somehow.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Minnesota got routed by Rutgers, only their 2nd conference win this year. How long til somebody there can admit the Whalen experiment didn't work?

 

[nwhoopfan]

@azfan 's Northern Arizona ran away from Portland St., who I assume is sitting in the cellar of the Big Sky at 0-13.

 

[DaBball]

Looks like Notre Dame is about to edge Georgia Tech in overtime.

Dara Mabrey was phenomenal down the stretch. Some really good shotmaking and decision making when Miles struggled some late.

That incoming recruiting class will either buy her some time or be a very attractive carrot to her successsor.

 

[Bigboote]

Holmes is back for Indiana, that's some really good news.

She certainly wasn't 100%, but definitely a step in the right direction. I think her absence has benefitted both Gulbe and Kiandra Brown.

I don't know what the problem is, but she isn't recruiting well, even in Wisconsin and Minnesota. She has a highly rated class coming in, but they're 3 guards and a wing. Until she can recruit some decent size, MN will remain in the bottom third of the conference.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Texas A&M lost to Ole Miss, dropped to 4-9 in conference...and they're still on the bubble according to Creme? They are #42 in the NET apparently. I gotta say the NET is just as dumb as RPI or any other rating system that came before.

 

[azfan]

@azfan 's Northern Arizona ran away from Portland St., who I assume is sitting in the cellar of the Big Sky at 0-13.

I anticipated a blow out, Jack's scored 52 in the first half. 12 of 13 Jack's scored in this run away, the Viking's 11th consecutive loss. Portland State is winless on the road this season.

PS gave up 93 twice this year to Northern Colorado on the 7th and to Montana last month. Tough season for the Vikings who may not win again this season.

NAU, 13th in D1 in 3 point per cent was 5 for 11 from 3 as 10 players had double digit minutes.

Jack's are currently in 5th place in the Big Sky with 5 games remaining.

The Big Sky conference title is a three-way race between Idaho State, Southern Utah and Montana State. The regular season title may come down to the final game of the season between Idaho State and Southern Utah.

Eastern Washington has been playing spoiler lately. Beat both of the Montana schools recently, including the Bobcats tonight. Neither of those results were expected.

 

[LETTERL]

NC State's 37-point scoring burst in quarter #3 of Thursday night's 92-61 win over Wake Forest was a program record, the most points scored in a quarter since WCBB went to the quarter system.

After their unexpected win last night EWU is finished with the top three contenders. That's not to say they may not rise up in the Big Sky tournament and play a spoiler role but they will have no impact on the conference winner.

Prior to the upset last night EWU's only wins this year were Weber State (5 wins in conference) and Portland State( 0 wins in conference), aside from their upsets of the Montana schools.

EWU was held to 38 in their loss to Southern Utah earlier this month, scored 46 in a loss to Southern Utah in their first meeting in December, and was clobbered twice by Idaho State. So if Eastern Washington runs into the Montana schools they may pose a threat but Southern Utah or Idaho State won't have a problem if they meet EWU in the tournament.

Having said all that now watch EWU upset the Lady Jacks at home on March 2nd.

EWU is playing Sky High since Cooper Kupp won the Super Bowl.

 

[UCFKnights]

UCF's dominant defense has continued with a 68-31 win at Temple. Over the last three games they have given up a total of 99 points.

 

[triaddukefan]

I had hyped up Campbell earlier in the week.... so inevitability the Camels were dehumped by their fellow Baptist institution Gardner Webb today 59-56. The Camels couldn't fully recover after only scoring 2 points in the first quarter. Its hard for any mammals to overcome a 18-2 deficit.. especially a Camel. As a result of the loss.. USC-Upstate moved into first place with a 68-57 victory over bottom dweller UNC-Asheville.

Whoop Whoop!
