Another upset brewing in Chattanooga. My Western Carolina Catamounts only trail UT-Chatt 24-19 at the half :eek: UTC is 23-3 and 10-0 in the conference. WCU is 6-20 1-10.

You claim Cullowhee? You’re closer to Blacksburg and Columbia SC!
 
That's how we roll @Ladeeeeda

Clark with 21/7/4 at the half and it doesn't feel like she's even playing well. Iowa's defense has been atrocious, looks more like shades of last year so far. Indiana tearing them up and Iowa can't get much going offensively outside of Clark (who isn't having a great shooting night) and getting some fortuitous reffing calls.

I think Iowa's season hinges on Gabbie Marshall's ability to knock down shots. When she isn't hitting shots, she offers such little value to the team IMO. She's a decent defender (she's pesky and plays hard) but is so incapable on offense. She can't make an entry pass, can't take a defender off the dribble or score in a fashion other than catch and shoot, and even while taking wide open 3s she's only shooting 32% this year. She can be a huge weapon which she proved last year but just has not been a good contributor to Iowa this year.

Fairfield in a tight game trying to stay unbeaten in conference.

Drake also in a tight game trying to maintain their lead in the Missouri Valley. Hosting Missouri St. Why do all of their games seem to be against the teams nipping at their heels?

Fairfield won Siena, 71 - 67.

Drake pulled away to win as well. They're a fun team to watch. Dinnebier, Berg and Miller are a nice trio of players.
 
Whoa! Total meltdown by Mississippi St. in the 4th quarter, outscored 24-5 by Kentucky and down 10 now w/ 20 seconds left.
 
Lopes are finally pulling away from Tarleton. Great defense but Molly Miller's squad is really struggling offensively. If they don't get the O sorted they have no hope in the final game of the regular season or the tournament against the Lancers.

Elzy s seat getting cooler by the week. 4th conference win and 2 games out of last
 
I cannot describe how disappointed I am in NC State tonight. UNC down 5 players due to injury...and they just outhustled NC State in all facets except FT shooting. A lot at stake in this one and a bad time for a loss, especially with Syracuse losing. Going 3 of 21 in the 2nd quarter was a killer...but the real dagger was letting Donarski and Zalaya be wide open for THREE after THREE after THREE.
 
Pili just got her 2000th career point, but UCLA is killing Utah.


They said Pili is maybe 5-11. Does she actually have a future in the WNBA? You can get away w/ being an undersized post in college, but that rarely works as a pro. Or does she have the skills to be a really big wing/2 guard?
 
UNC finally got a huge game from Donarski. Tar Heels pretty much controlled this game throughout. Aziaha James had a big game but no one else for NCS did. Rivers and Baldwin combined for 6 of 22.

Give the powder blues the series decision on point differential.

Wow, lots of blood coming from the back of Jenna Johnson's head. Utes have absolutely nobody who can guard Betts now.
 
Big win for Indiana and good recovery game after their horrible loss to Illinois. They showed up tonight on both ends and the game was never in question. Clark looked rattled much of the night and was due for a bad game after the 49 point showing. She's put up some big stat lines on Indiana but Indiana in particular makes her work harder than any team I've seen. It always looks difficult for her playing against IU and she couldn't find any rhythm in the second. IU is always extremely physical, puts a lot of size on her and they're feisty squad as well and seemed to get into her head tonight.

Holmes was the star tonight and looked like an All American. She absolutely dominated Stuelke in their head to head match up on both ends. Scalia/Garzon are weapons too. Massive win for them which should help off set their Illinois loss for seeding purposes.

She can for sure have a pro career, even if it's not in the W. She can shoot the 3 and that's something she'll have to rely more on. Her prospects are a lot greater than Nina Davis, who never really developed a viable jump shot.
 
I was hoping Arkansas could knock Texas A&M off the bubble, but they surrendered a lead and didn't get it done. Darn you Mike Neighbors!
 
Iowa at Indiana was one of the chippiest games I’ve seen this season. IU was fired up from tipoff and you could tell how badly they wanted it. Clark had 20 in the first half but vanished in the second. Indiana played the best defense I’ve seen anyone play on her this year, but really an awful game by her standards. 24 points on 26 shots although she nearly had a triple-double. To me she looked disengaged and disinterested in the second half even as Iowa was being run off the floor at times. This was a must-win for Iowa to stay in the Big Ten title race so the nonchalance was a surprise but Assembly Hall is a tough place to play and was especially so tonight. If chalk holds we’ll probably see these two face off one more time because they’re probably the 2- and 3-seeds in the conference tourney unless Ohio State nosedives against Michigan or Maryland.
 
In SoCon action. Tough night for the NC schools. My Catamounts of Western Carolina fell a bit short in what would have been the upset of the Mid Major year.. falling 60-56 to a tough UT-C squad. My Spartans of UNC-G fell on the road 54-51 to East Tennessee.

@triaddukefan congrats on squeezing the Orange tonight

When I was forecasting the rest of the season back in January, I penciled this one as a loss. Glad I was wrong.
 
Eastern Washington is blowing the doors off Northern Arizona. Currently tied for 1st in the Big Sky, but the Eags will surge ahead.
 
Utah was trying to hang in there, but lost another starter (McQueen), getting blown out now.
