Week 18 - Mar 3 to 9

[BRS24]

Charlie said basically that South Carolina would be the #2 overall team if USC wins. So, why does he still have UConn has the number 2 in that region? Just too lazy to shift the teams around?

He probably won't update the brackets until after the USC/UCLA and TCU/Baylor games. Who knows if he'll even consider a UConn win tomorrow.

He’s not going to update his entire bracket after every single game. Do you know how much work that is?

I’m sure he’ll have an update bracket tomorrow

 

[TRest]

USC and UCLA both look lightly coached.

 

[Vowelguy]

Fun game to watch

 

[Vowelguy]

UCLA with a Duke-like 2nd half turnaround.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Complete reversal from one of the earlier games this year. This time USC had a total melt down in the 2nd half. Barely scored. Betts was much better in this game than the previous meeting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well USC made that a bit exciting in the closing seconds, but too much ground to make up.

 

[Stagnant]

UConn will be paired with either Texas or USC after the results today imo.

 

[WBBTakeover]

UCLA responded big time in that third quarter. The fourth quarter was an amazing display of defense!

 

[Stagnant]

TCU looks like they will hang on. I think they are a weak two seed. But they deserve it.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tight down the stretch but TCU beat Baylor for the Big 12 championship.

 

[JellyBean]

Hats off to UCLA and Coach Close. Same for Coach Lawson over at Duke. Great job today.

 

[triaddukefan]

Gonna be tough for High Point to come back. Senior PG Nakyah Terrell...heart and soul of the team went down with a knee injury in last nights game. Hate to see her career end like that.

@triaddukefan , you might want to put in your consolatory meal order now.

It didn't look pretty early but.... I wouldn't have had an appetite if we had lost... that being said... instead of a Crispy Scallion Chicken and a Egg Roll.... I treated myself to a GIANT Grilled and Toasted Roast Beef sub from Jersey Mikes..... Mikes Way.. light lettuce... extra oil and vinegar... and mayo. With a Ice Cold Cheerwine

And I drowned my sorrows with a Carolina packer bright leaf hot dog and a sun drop. Thought about swinging by Stameys … but then remembered how overrated that place is.

The mom in me melted when I saw Elle and her daughter on gameday. Seeing her being able to have her daughter on hand for something like this wasn't possible a few years ago.

 

[triaddukefan]

Tomorrow is the biggest day in my WCBB fandom. UNC-G plays for its first NCAA Berth since 1998 at 12pm. Duke goes for its first ACC Championship since 2013 at 1pm.... and finally High Point tries for its second ever appearance in the NCAAs at 6pm

If all three are victorious... its gonna get ratchet up in here about 8pm

High Point outscored Longwood 17-6 in the 4th quarter to take home the Big South Trophy. 59-53

Best WBB weekend EVER

Folks, its time to get Ratchet

1. I've never had a bright leaf dog... I don't know of any place around here that sells them

2. Sun Drop is great, but its strong. Will put some hair on your chest.

3. Well you know all BBQ places are closed on Sundays... Stameys is fine...their problem is that they use red slaw instead of white.

So in the MW Tourney in Vegas Air Force and Utah State are engaged in a forgettable game that very much is reminiscent of our children in their first organized sports activity.

The Air Force pep band has firmly entrenched themselves in the last place as the entire group really looks miserable. They've only played one song and they're not engaged in anything resembling military posture as they're totally slumped and not paying attention to the game. Now this game certainly doesn't require paying attention but come on it's your classmates. In fact the Air Force band looks like their general required them to watch a 2 hour Natasha Adair leadership video.

The Utah State pep band on the other hand is singing "Take me out to the Ball game"while Air Force misses 2 free throws.

BTW Falcons 37-Aggies 26.

 

[triaddukefan]

That would have to be a record... right?

ACC Champs

How Sweet It Is

Congratulations!

 

[triaddukefan]

Might want a tissue nearby

 

[triaddukefan]

Befire yesterday's game.. Chattanooga was 20-0 in SoCon finals.

 

[12au]

UTSA only favored by 5.5 over Rice. Rice's record is much worse, but only b/c they find ways to lose close games

 

[BRS24]

Closing out week 18, with a look towards the remaining AQs this week, culminating in Selection Sunday.

SIL is traveling all next week and our grandkids are on spring break, so ... depending on my schedule, I'll see what makes sense in posting tourney game schedules during each round of the NCAAT. It's been a fun ride!
