NC State hammered Florida St., maybe rumors of their demise were overstated.

Marquette edged Villanova in a Big East quarterfinal

Arkansas hammered Florida State this season as well. Let's ask Neighbors how much that did for him.

Hey everybody was pretty excited about the Noles yesterday after they hammered Syracuse. Let's go with some recency bias rather than what happened in November.

So the recent mediocrity of NC State is forgotten because of the recent one good game by FSU?

I’ve only seen snippets of Juju playing. Could someone who’s seen more of her describe what makes her so good… or overrated, if that’s your opinion?

She's as smooth a baller as I can remember--like a new age Cheryl Miller or Chamique Holdsclaw. She can draw fouls and is adept at getting to her spots (mostly from her right hand) and can rise up and fire at will. She's got some warts in her game, but she's 18 years old and the most talented player by far on USC's squad this season. I would recommend watching extended highlights from her 51-point performance against Stanford. It was breathtaking!

Oh don't mind me--just happy to see that the Gamecocks are off to a MUCH better start than yesterday! :D

I get it. Never give up an opportunity to slam NC State over something. Not all teams can play in that juggernaut called the Big East, where except on rare occasions, teams can cover up off-shooting nights and below-par performances, for the most part.
 
If it helps any, I was highly impressed with NC State's performance today :). They look dangerous again.

Clark has 11 assists...with 2 minutes to go til halftime. Come on now, that is ridiculous!

She's going to be the first player in WNBA history to average 20 points and 10 assists in a season--and should achieve that multiple times.

LOL

You and other State fans have talked openly about their poor performance of late. I didn't realize this was a forbidden topic. At no time did I try to compare Big East teams to either NC State or Florida State. But wow okay from now on I'll be sure to utter nothing but words of praise for either team. Just don't make me say nice things about Notre Dame :D

Great performance by NC State today! I actually think this is the year they win it all.
 
Michigan out of their minds shooting 9-13 behind the arc...and still trailing by 9 at the half.

For a mere mortal 19 pts/11 assists is a pretty darn good game. But for Clark she still has 20 minutes to go.

AFAIK a player has averaged 10 assists per game for a season only once ever in the WNBA history. Sloot of course.

Yup--I believe that happened in the bubble. She had 220 on the dot (in 22 games), I think.
 
The ACC tournament has been marred by injury attrition. VT Tech limped into the semifinal w/o Kitley and got destroyed by Notre Dame, who may have lost Watson in the process. She obviously isn't their best player, but they had a short bench to begin with and can ill afford further losses.

Michigan giving Iowa all they want: were up 25-17 in 1st qtr but trail at half 51-42. Made their 1st 7 3's. Clark with 19 pts/11 assts. Iowa only with 2 FT's in 1st half (not being critical).
 
Congrats to Southern Indiana, in only their 2nd year of D-I ball -- they're the first to punch their ticket with an emphatic 81-53 win over UT Martin in the OVC final.

They're also high on the list of Best Mascots -- something about "Screaming Eagles" just gets my attention!

The Screaming Eagles could quite possibly be a 15 or 16 seed in Columbus or Iowa City.

How are they eligible already? Cal Baptist couldn't go to the Tourney the year they were undefeated because they hadn't gone thru the transition period yet. I thought it was a fair bit more than 1 year.

Not to take away from Southern Indiana. Impressive to be doing so well already.

Good catch! I stand corrected. They did punch their ticket -- but for the WNIT.

So we have that awkward situation where the team that got demolished in the conference tournament final had already earned the automatic NCAA bid by virtue of their semifinal win.

Yeah, pretty weird. If a team is ineligible for the NCAA Tourney, I'm not sure why their conference lets them participate in the conference tourney. What good can come of it?
 
Cal Baptist and Grand Canyon tied w/ 4 seconds left. If CBU wins they clinch the WAC, if GCU wins they tie.

edit--OT
 
Dang, Stuelke landed on someone's foot and rolled her ankle.

At least they get the reward of winning the conference chsmpionship. And the conference still gets a team in the NCAAs.
 
I completely forgot about Greta Kampschroeder. Just entered the game for the first time for Michigan. The talent evaluators were so off on her. Did nothing at Oregon St., has done nothing at Michigan. Gotta be one of the least productive McDonalds All Americans ever.
