Week 17 - Feb 23 to Mar 1

[Stagnant]

You can never trust Tennessee smh

 

[nwhoopfan]

We've got a pair of "somebody has to win" specials going on right now--Purdue @ Northwestern and UCF @ Houston.

 

[Stagnant]

Texas and South Carolina have shown some vulnerability today.

 

[WBBTakeover]

Tennessee's long losing streak continues with a double-digit loss to Vanderbilt on Senior Day. 🥶

 

[Iluvacc2]

I’m watching the Vandy/Lady Vols matchup and heard Carolyn Peck say Madison Booker plays for Tennessee. Her colleague didn’t correct her either.

 

[nwhoopfan]

There it is. Tennessee's losing streak runs to 6 to end the regular season, and they have lost 10 of 12. They should be about an 11 seed, but I know that's not what's gonna happen. In the play-in game too.

Tiffany never corrects her.

 

[nwhoopfan]

34 for Blakes. Yet another 30+ game for her.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Late charge by Illinois not enough, Minnesota wins and finishes 13-5 in the B1G. Tied w/ Ohio St. for 4th, not sure how the tie breaker goes for conference tourney seeding.

 

[triaddukefan]

UConn fan here. Go Tennessee! We need your help. We need LSU to pass Vanderbilt. We cannot have LSU as the 2 seed in our region.

Help us Tennessee. Help us.

Not sure if you live in Connecticut or not, but you may need to leave the state for a bit after this post. You are welcome to come stay in the Triad for a bit..... Bring some food though.

Charlie Crème still has them as a 7 seed! 😐

 

[Stagnant]

I put myself out there for Tennessee; and this is how they repay me? Probably handed Blakes player of the year too. 🤦‍♂️

Likely based on their NET. I don't think that any of these bracketologists know how to use all the metrics, so they rely heavily on the only one they somewhat understand.

 

[GoChips20]

I think an overlooked footnote in Blake’s game is her passing. Galvan is the floor general but I’ll take 4.6 assists/game from true PGs at most programs in the country.

 

[UConnCat]

Her colleague said Blakes and the Pauldo twins were from "the New Jersey area." They are, in fact, from New Jersey.

She made a pass in today's game that just had my head spinning!

 

[CompSci87]

I'm sure Stanford has dropped off everyone's radar here, but it was fun being there to see them blow out Clemson 85-50 on Senior Day. Leaves me with hope for next year. Maybe the good vibes will keep players out of the portal.

where would you seed USC?

Wow

There are about 35 teams that I would put their names in a hat and start drawing. The bubble is SO WEAK this year.

 

[BRS24]

I posted this in the Tenn thread - Charlie Creme just saying something like, Tenn still deserves a #7 seed for keeping it close or playing competitive or something random vs Vandy. Me? I'm thinking, that's a six game losing streak at the end of the season, when IMHO, the committee should be looking at what teams are finishing strong. Still not buying the SEC is SO strong, etc, etc, when I'm looking at a 8-8 and 16-12 record, the latter wins of which were vs East Tennessee State, UT Martin, Belmont, Middle Tennessee, Coppin State, Winthrop, and Southern Indiana. And no, I am not disparaging those programs.

 

[Vowelguy]

Blakes and Galvan 40 minutes each

Meanwhile Latham prawl Mya hurst played 37 minutes and contributed 1 pt on 0-5 shooting with 4 reb 1 asst 1 TO 3 fouls.

 

[LETTERL]

NC State secured the #4 seed in next week's ACCT with an absolute blitzkrieg of a performance, beating beleagured Pitt, 93-43. All 10 Wolfpack Women scored, shooting 50% for the game, 10 of 19 from THREE, forcing 21 turnovers, garnering 17 steals and a 46-32 edge on the glass.

Khamil Pierre notched her 20th double-double of the season with 16 points/12 boards, one of 4 Wolfpack Women to reach double figures. Zoe Brooks led all scorers with 20 points on an efficient 8 of 11 from the field.

It's the first 50-point win against an ACC opponent for NC State since 1980.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa St. pulled away from K State late, 41/13 for Crooks.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wisconsin played Iowa tough for a half, then got blown out. Iowa finishes tied w/ Michigan for 2nd place in the B1G.

 

[nwhoopfan]

What happened to Texas A&M at the end of the season? They suddenly don't stink anymore. Upset Ole Miss on the road. Also beat Mississippi St. and Tennessee.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Speaking of Mississippi St., they led early but are down 13 to LSU at the half. If they lose, they will drop to 5-11 in the SEC. How are they on the bubble? How?

how? The bubble is too big .

 

[Stagnant]

how? The bubble is too big .

When they try to push for expansion again; I hope a lot of people will remember how soft the bubble was and speak up.

 

[Stagnant]

Louisville is playing for a share of the conference title and a top 2 seed. Not really playing like it right now. Getting blown out by the fighting Irish.
