Week 2 Big Games:

Well, I knew Washington wasn't gonna remain undefeated for too long...but I wasn't expecting their first loss today against Santa Clara. Disappointing. This is the third straight games where the starters just aren't hardly putting any points on the board. Time for a change to the starting lineup.

Just when I was dusting off my vintage Purple Husky hats, back under the bed they go.

Wait for real? I didn't hear about that but disappointing if true. That isn't very classy.

Coach Abe and "classy" are not likely to cohabitate in the same sentence.

There's a reason she's not well liked among UConn fans.

I might have to tune in

If her Georgia teams replicate against SC the tactics that her UCF teams used against UConn, they'll make Cunningham look like a Sunday school teacher by comparison and Dawn will lose her mind.

So you’re telling me to load up on my popcorn for those games? I’m on it!

I did a little digging because I was curious. The 86 points scored by Seton Hall in today's win over Georgia is the most points scored on a Coach Abe team since UConn defeated UCF by a score of 93-57 in January 2019.

Maybe she was so livid about her team's soft defense that she couldn't handle a handshake line.

Want to give a shout out to the Delaware Blue Hens under first year coach Sarah Jenkins who handed Illinois their first loss of the season today, 83-80 in Daytona. I know Illinois isn't particularly great (neither are the Hens), but I like to see the CAA team take down the B1G.

Also, Arkansas played what is undoubtedly their best defensive game of the year to beat previously unbeaten (and #25 AP) Kansas State, 69-53 to win the Paradise Jam. And it wasn't that close. KSU had been averaging over 80 ppg. The Hogs still look pretty creaky at times, but this was a good win.

Both teams in this game are under new head coaches.

Illinois's schedule is nothing to brag about, but it's worth noting that their 6-0 start under coach Shauna Green was their best in over 35 years. Their next 5 games will be more revealing: Pitt, Indiana, Rutgers, Butler, Missouri.

I'll be rooting for the Blue Hens to win the Colonial.

I'm too loyal to the MEAC to root for those turncoats :D
Maybe if the Carolina Aggies pay their dues for a few years, I'll warm to them :p

My Ladyjacks may be having a bit of a down year by their lofty standards. But that doesn't mean they can't lay the wood on some overprivileged team from one of those "Poser-5" conferences that people are always fawning over.

DePaul lost to Towson. I guess they can't play Miami every game.

Speaking of the Canes, they lost to Columbia today! :eek:

Disappointing to hear about Coach Able storming off like that. I know she's not liked here but I appreciate what she did for our basically non-existent program.

UCF needed 2OTs to beat Samford yesterday after having only 8 eligible players available due to injuries. Sophomore Laila Jewett had herself a game though with 34 points. Her total number of points scored in her career prior to the game was 32.

Today UCF handled Southeast Missouri by 26 points to improve to 5-0. We haven't played anyone with a pulse but happy with the start of the Messer era.

I'm rooting for Sytia Messer. I have always liked her and this is her time.

It's too bad UCF didn't play Rhode Island, which was also at the same tournament (played Samford today). I wonder why it was arranged that way.
 
If I ever find my Iowa State sweatshirt.... imma pour gasoline on it an burn it :mad:

How do you have a 17 point lead and lose by 9

Terrible collapse. Looked slow, completely lacking in poise. Could not handle switching defense. And even worse on the defensive end.
