By my count, 15 winless teams remain in D1:

Alabama State Lady Hornets (SWAC) 0-7
Chicago State Cougars (Independent) 0-13
Delaware State Hornets (MEAC) 0-6
Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs (Big South) 0-7
Hampton Lady Pirates (CAA) 0-6

Little Rock Trojans (Ohio Valley) 0-6
Southern Jaguars (SWAC) 0-5
Stonehill Skyhawks (Northeast) 0-8
Troy Trojans (Sun Belt) 0-5

UT Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros (WAC) 0-7
Valparaiso Beacons (Missouri Valley) 0-5
Weber State Wildcats (Big Sky) 0-7

Gardner-Webb already has more losses than they did the previous season. They went 29-5 last year

Uh oh Adia. Getting doubled up at the half by UNLV. I was a fan of her for a while, but I'm quickly losing faith in her as a coach.

She's starting to feel like the Kelly Graves of the Pac-12 South. Ride one star guard to fame, attract a ton of top recruits, repel them all to the point of transferring out, watch those transfers blossom elsewhere, run the program you built up into the ground.

It's kind of sad, because I find them both likeable and compelling, albeit in very different ways.

Graves is the bigger surprise to me. He had a very good track record prior to coming to Oregon.

Barnes came from nowhere, first time HC gig, quickly built Arizona from almost nothing into much more than respectable. Still a lot better off than where they started, but she could become a victim of her own early success there.
 
Well Arizona played even in the second half. +1 even. It was that 20 point halftime deficit that got them in trouble.

Man, during her Freshman season I thought Helena Pueyo was destined for stardom. She just has not developed at all since then. That was actually her best season statistically. Not often that a player comes in and contributes as a frosh, and then into her 5th season didn't get any better after that.

Well there I go calling a game way too early again. I think Montana St. was up 31-15 at one point. Portland is now up 10 w/ about a minute left. So according to the infallible transitive properties in sports Montana St. is about 20 points better than Oregon?

Pretty embarrassing.

One of my favorite players, Kiara Jackson of UNLV, had 21 points and 7 assists.

I saw Kiara play a memorable high school playoff game where she led her team in a thriller upset over Sarah Andrews and Hannah Gusters' team.

Their game with Arizona St. today has been cancelled (no, I don't know the reason), so they'll have to wait for another day to try for their first win.

Okay, I waited this time. Utah was up 20 on BYU at the half, margin is about the same w/ a minute and change left.

Not Oregon vs a WCC team level of embarrassing though. UNLV won 31 games last year and brought back most of their roster.
Expand ...
I'm admittedly biased, but UNLV also has a terrific young head coach, who's a local product to boot. =)

Wouldn't that be a forfeit?
Expand ...
I believe under NCAA rule it's a "no contest".

For conference games it would depend on conference policy. ASU last year "forfeited" two games due to lack of sufficient available players, but the forfeit only applied to the league standings per Pac-12 policy, not to overall team record per NCAA rule.

ASU women’s basketball forfeits games against Pac-12 teams Utah, Colorado

Arizona State announced Wednesday that the ASU women’s basketball games against Colorado and Utah had been canceled due to student-athlete availability. The games will not be made up, and will not affect the overall records of the schools.

For sure

UNLV is solid but AZ has way too much talent to be that pitiful

I think Adia and Graves are going down very similar paths right now. Excluding a brief period with one star player, both have fallen off with no identity and have been having attrition lately

Ole Miss, which is supposed to be one of the better SEC teams, just lost to an undefeated Southern Miss team.

Florida lost earlier to to Marshall, getting outscored 28-16 in 4Q to lose by 3.

The SEC fares better against the ACC than they do against low-major teams.

I was surprised to see Joye Lee McNelis is still coaching Southern Miss. I thought she had a health issue and had retired. Big win for Southern Miss!

They gave technicals to Donavan and Johnson? It was an entertaining half. I really like Kitts for y'all.

Yeah #25 for the Chickens was running her yap at the Duke bench.
 
Best 3 pt shooting team I’ve seen in Dawn’s tenure as SC coach
 
Upset watch: Rhode Island leading #25 Princeton, 58-56...16 seconds left.

Late-game fouling is killing any chance of beating South Carolina.
 
Am I reading the box score correctly? South Carolina was called for 6 fouls the entire game?

That's gotta be some kind of record.

Well, it was an away game, so we can't blame it on 'home cookin'. But that does seem laughable.

1 FT trip for Duke? And Brown had 3 fouls where her hands were straight up. Duke is dangerous despite this loss.

From your lips to this Stanford fan's still-stressed-out ears.

Oh maybe one team happens to be perimeter oriented that played extremely aggressive against one with more size that constantly works to be get the ball inside and score in the paint
