After watching every team play today I would be in favor of canceling the NCAA tourney this year giving the trophy to South Carolina now. So much low quality basketball from all the other top teams, South Carolina is the only team that deserves to be a national champion this year imo.

Care to revisit? South Carolina needed a miracle to beat a Tennessee team today who has done nothing significant all year.
 
I have to say I NEVER like this idea of fouling. You give the opposing team the ball out of bounds with time to set up a play, and free time for the ball to fly thru the air.

In contrast they are running down the floor, all out of sorts.

I never understood why teams do this.
 
The ending of that game stressed the importance of FT. They're called "free throws" for a reason. Make one on the previous possession and the THREE sends the game to OT.

Just a devastating emotional loss for the Lady Vols. They were about to be the team of the week and instant media darlings.

TN plays them tough for some reason. Nobody else seems to be able to copy them.
 
Today hasn't been kind to the folks in Orange. Their men's team lost a close one at home to Kentucky. :oops:

But they won? This just reinforced my belief that they are the best team in the country by a long shot. Pulling out a a clutch win like that in a conference tourney is insane. I was worried they might lose in a fluke night off but now I know they can’t be beaten after that tbh. I read an article in January saying they might be the greatest college women’s basketball tema
If all time and thought it was a bit too much but now I’m not so sure.
 
To beat SC you need some luck. If they have that too, then it’s over.

It seems like Utah, North Carolina and Duke played them reasonably close in OOC. Those aren't exactly the top teams in the country. LSU only lost to them by 6 and yesterday they only beat A&M by 11. They are undefeated, but I think their invulnerability is overstated.

Uh no, they are not the greatest team ever.

If they finish undefeated they certainly are an all-time great, no question. But the GOAT team doesn’t need a miracle 3 against an unranked team.
 
I only tuned in for 4Q but I have to say it was shocking to see SC revert to their traditional offensive ineptitude of old. They looked utterly lost.

And then for Tennessee to hand the game away in the last 3 seconds with two missed FTs and an end-of-game defense that might have been drawn up by Wes Moore. Oh wait no that's Kellie Harper. Just wow.

I was trying to give you some benefit of the doubt, but now it's clear your posts are farcical.
 
First time we EVER cheered for TN. I hope a whole bunch of coaches watch tape of this game to see how TN came back.
