Out of curiosity, why is the chat preferred? I understand not wanting a forum overly bloated with new threads, but is this just an emphasis on trying to lessen the burden on the forum’s server/infrastructure?

No game threads are going to be allowed anywhere on the Boneyard. There is a chat room available, please feel free to post that you’re starting a game chat before games of interest. This means all game threads, not just UConn. There are several reasons, some technical. Any game threads started...

A few more interesting results:

Green Bay edges Oklahoma State by 3. Green Bay has not been good at all lately (lost to Northern Kentucky). Oklahoma State lost to Colorado but beat Missouri State.

UCLA makes it apparent that they are nowhere close to being a good team right now. Lost by 6 to Kent State.

Arizona wins a close game over DePaul, 75-68.
Marquette pulls out an overtime win over MTSU, 59-55.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gonzaga thumped Utah 89-71. Wasn't really that close. Pushed the lead to about 30 early in Q4.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I know we have at least one fan of Nicholls here. They got demolished today by Grand Canyon 103-55. There's at least one GCU fan here as well.

Hopefully Muffet McGraw can fire off another incoherent tweet in which she explains how "media bias" caused the Domers to lose to Georgia in OT.

 

[triaddukefan]

I guess the tobacco road schools are the only ACC teams left unscathed this week.

 

[stwainfan]

Tennessee beat Kansas 68-58.

Interesting matchup tonight and tomorrow night in Anchorange. The Top Ranked Mighty Seawolves of UAA welcome the Rams (My Rams) of Winston Salem State University. The backstory on how an Division II HBCU from the Triad gets to play in Alaska. Both games tip off at 11:30pm EST



WSSU women's basketball team fundraising efforts net them trip to Alaska for two games

Both games will be streamed live on the UAA channel on youtube

Michigan takes down Oregon State, 61-52. Somewhat surprising to me, since Michigan is still missing Amy Dilk and I just didn't think they'd have the guard play. But their defense really carried them through this game.

Naz Hillmon went for 20 and 13 (plus 7 turnovers), and Leigha Brown was big down the stretch.

 

[Bigboote]

Uconn’s performance against South Florida looks much better this evening. They beat Stanford and outrebounded them 52-38. Brink, who had pulled in 22 against Indiana, had 11 today while Mununga had 23(!).

It's not like Oregon State has the guard play either...

I don't have Flohoops so I haven't been able to catch these games, but tomorrows slate intrigues me, and I will definitely be checking box scores. Michigan vs Miss St., Oregon St vs Notre Dame, LSU vs Missouri St, Maryland vs Stan, WVU vs BYU are what I'll be monitoring. My BY poll is begging for mercy with the amount of edits I've made already and we still have 1 1/2 weeks before submission

It's not even noon in Texas yet, but already some eye-opening results.

Florida State falls to Purdue, 66-61 -- the second consecutive loss for the Seminoles (lost to BYU yesterday).

UCLA falls to South Dakota State, 76-66. The Bruins will play tomorrow in the 7th place game of the Gulf Coast Showcase.

Earlier today, Virginia Tech narrowly escaped UT Martin, 54-49. The Skyhawks missed 2 free throws in the final minute that would've made it a one point game.

The Jackrabbits gain back a little cred for the Summit.

The Jackrabbits gain back a little cred for the Summit.

Myah Selland finally got back in the lineup. She started and played 14 minutes (scoring 9 points) before leaving with a shoulder injury. This poor kid cannot away from injury for more than two seconds.

UCLA is just not a good team right now. The loss to Kent State really wasn't a fluke, if you look at the other teams they've struggled to beat (Pepperdine, UVA).

UCLA desperately needs their injured players back. UCLA just doesn't have the talent at the moment. Their UO forward transfer and the PG transfer coming back will be an immediate boost for UCLA.

Agreed they desperately need Conti and Dugalic ASAP, but really they should be doing better than they have been with Osborne, Chou, Penn, Thomas and others. That's not a lineup that should be losing to Kent State.

Down goes WVU to BYU IN A big 12 futuro

Crazy turnaround in the DePaul-Vandy game.

DePaul committed an unbelievable 17 turnovers in the 1st quarter, after which they trailed 26-12.

They settled down and committed only 7 turnovers in the rest of the game, and won 91-74. Sonya Morris caught fire and finished with a career high 36 points on 14-22 FG (7-9 3FG). Freshman Aneesah Morrow finished with 28 points (9-13 FG), 15 rebounds and 5 steals.

 

[dws3665]

Arkansas forgot how to play defense in the first quarter, but pulls away to throttle Sam Houston 92-66. Jersey with her best game of the year so far put in 16 on 5/8 shooting, including 3/4 from deep. Ramirez led the Hogs with 17.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Cal Baptist(4-1) beats a Power 5 conference team, TCU 91-77
Top point guard in assists, and assists per game, Ane Olaeta, had 25 points and 10 assists. Olaeta now has 47 assists in 5 games.(9.4apg) I think the Notre Dame Freshman, Olivia Miles, has 46 assists, but has played one more game than Olaeta.
CBU leads nation in apg at 22.
