Week 17 - Feb 23 to Mar 1

Oof, Seton Hall took a bad loss @ Butler today.

 

[nwhoopfan]

So I guess Mississippi St. players have been reading my comments during the game and it made them mad. They have rallied within 1 of LSU.

Don’t look now @triaddukefan but you may still get the outright ACC title…..

Oof, Seton Hall took a bad loss @ Butler today.

I think seton hall was really excited by the possibility of making the ncaa tournament. And when it became apparent that it wouldn’t happen… they lost focus a bit. And they ended the season poorly as a result.

 

[nwhoopfan]

About that bet I told y'all to place. Might want to hold on a minute...

 

[Vowelguy]

how? The bubble is too big .

Women’s tourney should not have expanded past 64

Hey you pulled my trick. Again.

 

[nwhoopfan]

TCU about to beat Baylor and wrap up the Big 12 crown. I'd probably also accept Campbell as COY. TCU 1st, West Virginia 2nd, Baylor 3rd, Oklahoma St. and Texas Tech tied for 4th.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hey you pulled my trick. Again.

Dang I double jinxed it. You and I can keep posting to decide who wins this game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Missouri made Oklahoma work for it. 84-78 win for the Sooners. 23/9 for Beers.

edit--WOW, 55-35 rebounding advantage for OU; Verlhurst had 12, Williams also w/ 9, 7 for Chavez

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mississippi St. wasn't mad enough to actually win, LSU prevails by 9.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Notre Dame knocks off Louisville on the road by 3.

 

[Vowelguy]

Nd with the upset of Lou

Does anyone outside the SEC/B1G want a 2 seed?

 

[nwhoopfan]

My Huskies led the entire first half, built the lead to 13 to start Q3...then decided to quit scoring. Just like they do at some point every game. Every game. Oregon about to overtake them. Oh well, only have to lose 1 more game in the Big 10 Tourney, lose their opening game in the NCAA Tourney and then the season will be over. Might miss out on hitting 20 wins. Again. Langley seems to max out at 19. When she hit that w/ 3 games remaining I thought one more W was in the bag.

Thank you Notre Dame. I'm not sure what Catholics do to celebrate, but Imma say a few Hail Marys and buy a rosary tonight

 

[Iluvacc2]

Say what you want about Hidalgo, but she’s a fierce competitor. Probably Notre Dame’s fiercest since Diggins. Nothing against Arike, but she never displayed that defensive grit that Hannah and Skylar possess.

No offense, but you are the last person who needs to be handing out bets 😟

Says the man who lost 27 bets in a row! 😁

 

[nwhoopfan]

My stinking Huskies. Oregon just grabbed their only lead of the game with 21 seconds left. Dawgs were up by 9 at halftime. This stinking team. And to really put the cherry on top, they are getting lit up by Seattle native Katie Fiso.

 

[Joetro]

Can someone explain A&M only playing 9 OOC games? Scheduling a couple more wins might have really helped this year.

 

[nwhoopfan]

My stinking Huskies managed to win! 70-69. Got a steal and were fouled, hit 1 of 2 FTs, then got a stop on the other end. Paltry 7-12 FT shooting made this closer than it should've been. Sellers scored 29, Fiso had 27.

Well, they got to the magical 20 win plateau. Finally. Only been just shy of a decade since the last time. Also could finish all alone in 8th place if UCLA continues to have their way with USC.

For you specifically, DO NOT bet your house, or anything of value, probably don't go above $10 on ANY bet. Just a friendly public service announcement.

So, for the "North Carolina is so disappointing" and "Banghart has never won a big game" crowd...was this a big game, and was Carolina disappointing finishing 3rd in the ACC, 2 games behind the top team? Just asking.

Carolina was predicted to finish 3rd and they did. They could've finished 2nd outright had they closed out Louisville and Stanford in the final minute of those games. Their clutch 3pt and FT shooting improved over the course of the season.

Was raised online and no one had an answer.
