Week 2 Big Games:

[SECbbfan24]

Maryland with a win over Baylor, game went a bit closer than I thought it was going to be at first but good to see Bickle was back. Is Briggs for Maryland still injured? I was assuming she would produce much more than she has

Disgusted by Miami today. Losing 98-83 to Depaul

DePaul had 2 players score at least 35?!

Between that and the football team, i might have to write a letter to the commissioner asking for them to be sent back to the Big East.

Out in the streets, a Terrier wouldn't stand a chance of beating a Panther, but alas.... games are played on the hardwood . In the first of a few throw out the record book games for HPU, The Methodists from South Carolina defeat The Methodists from NC

We need to sweep Stonybrook, Georgetown, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech to turn our season around

Well, maybe y'all can still sweep Wake and VT.

On the bright side, Miami did a stellar job of defending all but two players.

Oh that and I'm sure the Cavinders took some really cool selfies in Chi-town.

Looking like another #16 seed is in our future.

Is it safe to say that High Point is at a low point?

Looking forward to tomorrows matchup between Oregon and UNC, first test for both teams. Also excited to see the different matchups for both tournaments and the uniform designs for each team.

 

[Floridaduck]

Looking over records and stats, the UNC - Oregon matchup will be pretty even up going in. I don’t really see an edge. So it comes down to who plays a better game that day rather than one team being simply superior (as many ooc continue to be).
Will make for some interesting basketball.

Happy Thanksgiving all. Good win by UNC. Was a good game. Oregon played well and lead most of the game. UNC kinda hung in there and stole it at the end.
Really like Utsby and Van Slooten.
Hope Deja and Te'hina can be a bit more efficient for their respective teams.

It was a pretty high quality game overall. Van Slooten is the real deal. Oregon is a much better team IMO than last year. UNC's experience helped them play from behind and pull this one out in crunch time.

Disappointing but hopeful for Oregon fans, especially, I agree, compared to last year. To me, the best Oregon players today were the youngest ones: the 3 freshmen + Kyei (who is still, I think, the youngest, and least experienced, player on the team). What was really disappointing to me was the play of Rogers (I can't remember a game when she played worse than this--or had 8 turnovers). If she had had anything close to her normal game and the team remembered how to shoot free throws (they actually did that very well early in the season), then they might have won.

The Ducks let me down again

I just realized this Sorry.

Still a juicy game.

Maryland struggling a bit early. Down 8 at half.

 

[Plebe]

DePaul upsets Maryland, 76-67. Morrow had 22 and 10, and Jorie Allen added a double-double of her own (10 and 13).

The Blue DEMONS continue their reign of terror over the "poser 5" teams from the East Coast, something that I'm sure @triaddukefan can attest to.

PS. Just don't ask me how a team can lose to Northern Illinois and Cleveland State but then beat Miami and Maryland

 

[SECbbfan24]

I keep waiting for Lavender Briggs to do something but she has been a no show for Maryland this year.

 

[GoChips20]

I think Maryland will continue to have trouble with their small-ball system if the search for the Lavender Briggs of Florida continues. Miller and Meyers can’t do it alone. Positionless offensive systems usually cannot afford to have players on the floor that can’t score.

If someone does have an answer and claims they also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, I call bunk!

 

[Lorcan]

It's worth noting that Xavier gave Creighton a stern test today.

The game that I want to watch isn't even on Flohoops -- as UMass and Drake battle it out as two of the better mid-majors out there at the moment.

All that dancing and the veiled reference to Duke wasn't necessary.



Not displeased with the outcome, I'll put it like this. The last time that Maryland and UNC played, I was rooting for UNC
