Week 4 preview (Nov. 29–Dec. 5)

[nwhoopfan]

Oh sure. Why isn't a new coach making any difference at my school?

 

[Plebe]

Here's a name we haven't heard for a while.

Zaay Green scored 17 points in Arkansas Pine Bluff's upset win over Tulane. UAPB started the season 0-2 without Green, but have gone 3-1 since Green returned to the lineup.

 

[Lorcan]

Hannah Sjerven deserves a shout out for a paltry 35 points against Wichita State on 11-17 shooting. South Dakota takes the W against the Shockers of Wichita State.

 

[TRest]

Oh yeah... former foes in the MEAC... before Hampton left to join the Big South a few years ago. Campuses probably separated by 15-20 miles. Hampton has long been known as the HBCU for uppity blacks who wanted a co-ed experience. The uppity females who wanted to attend an all-female HBCU.... went to Spelman. I knew quite a few people who went to Hampton...... and yep.. they were uppity. Knew a few females who went to Spelman... dated a few Spelman girls. All were uppity... well all except for one.

<---------- trying to help educate the boneyard since 2018

I thought the elite coed HBCU was Howard?

Oklahoma has really been off to a good start. I'd give them a pass on the Oregon loss because Oregon was actually healthy for that one with Pao Pao and Sabally both playing.

Oklahoma last season started 4-7, with losses to Houston, Georgia, Kansas, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Baylor. They beat mighty Texas State, South Dakota, Arkansas Pine Bluff, and Texas Tech. Compare that to this season's 7-1 start, with the only loss to Oregon. They've beaten Buffalo, Minnesota, Mississippi State, and South Dakota. It's hard to read too much into the start, but they are definitely off to a good start -- just remains to be seen how good they will be this year.

Pao Pao did not play. She did not make the trip to the Bahamas. Sabally however had a huge game.

 

[Floridaduck]

Oklahoma proving to be a formidable presence in the B12. Oregon’s win in the Bahamas is looking better. Ducks were very short handed at guard missing starters Paopao and Rogers as well as freshman reserve guard Bigby. As mentioned above Sabally had a monster game then sat out the SC and USF games and is still out.

News update from Arizona. The Lady Devils explode for 22 points in the first half in route to a 68-44 victory over UTSA. Taya Hanson led the offensive juggernaut with 10 as all 11 Sun Devils who played scored and 10 of the 11 rebounded. Jade Van Hefty returned to the lineup after a significant leg injury suffered a year ago and was perfect from the field.

Up north the Lady Jacks pulled another victory out of their hat at Rolle Activity Center coming from 8 down in the 4th quarter to send the game into OT. bench player Sierra Mich'l exploded in the overtime and ended the game as leading scorer with 21 points and the Jacks when 81 to 74.

Harvard faces off against the Harvard of the West at Desert Financial stadium 12:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. ASU coming off a convincing victory over UTSA squares off against a Harvard team that's struggling.

Perhaps exhausted by the warm temperatures in Arizona Harvard blew a lead in the fourth quarter scoring only 6 points losing 59-52 to Colorado State.

 

[Lorcan]

Since when do we call Arizona State the Harvard of the West?

 

[SECbbfan24]

Down goes Georgia... to GT

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Paige Bueckers went down with a non contact injury in the last seconds of the UConn-ND.

Prayers up for her. Hopefully just a sprained ankle.

Prayers up for her. Hopefully just a sprained ankle.

unfortunately it was her knee. Waiting on an MRI

 

[nwhoopfan]

Just that kind of year. GA Tech had been struggling, UGa rolling along, so of course the Yellow Jackets beat them in Athens.

 

[stwainfan]

Nice game by Sara Puckett 15 points. In Tennessee win at Virginia Tech.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona St. scored 91?! I wonder what is the most points they've scored during the CTT era? That's gotta be close.

Since today,

Arizona St. scored 91?! I wonder what is the most points they've scored during the CTT era? That's gotta be close.

Since today.

The return of senior Jayde Van Hefty in her second game after a year plus rehab from knee injury led the Devils to this 91 points. Hefty has yet to miss a field goal since returning to the court 7-7 and yes what an offensive outburst.

1n 1997 the Sun Devils laid 118 points on Utah State. That was early in CTT's reign and since then she's obviously changed her philosophy.

 

[triaddukefan]

Duke crushes Penn today 77-55. 9 players with double digit minutes, 2 with 9 minutes, and one with 7 minutes. All 12 scholarship players played and scored. Leading scorer was Day-Wilson with 14 points on 4-6 from long distance. Season low with 13 turnovers.

UVA wins over George Washington... Clemson with a hard fought victory over the Blue Hose.

I thought the elite coed HBCU was Howard?

Howard is without question the most complete, well known HBCU, and has the greatest endowment..... one could call it the elite HBCU. But Hampton still wins out on the uppitiness factor. (hopefully know one I know who attended Hampton reads this forum)

Arkansas a little slow out of the gate, but gets it going behind 32 pts from Makayla Daniels to beat Cal in Fayetteville, 84-67.

The game featured 3 technical fouls on Cal - one on a player for being disrespectful to a ref (this was a bad call, imo - it was just a dismissive wave), and two on the bench. The bench's first was for having 6 players on the court (oops), and the second was on an AC who ran 6 feet onto the court protesting a non-call (I think she was right, ftr - the shooter was fouled - but you can't run onto the court like that with impunity).

Weird game.

And on the topic of OU - one BIG factor in their improved play this year is that they are healthy. They have Lampkin and Llanusa going full speed, and between Llanusa, Williams, and Robertson, they have several very good, diverse offensive options. Teams just can't mob Robertson at the perimeter and get away with it. They are a really strong point guard away from being very good, imo. They are also doing this without Gabby Gregory, who hasn't played this year (not sure why ...?).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa puts the disaster at Cameron in the rear view mirror, routs Michigan St. 88-61. Triple double for Clark. Win #800 for Lisa Bluder.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Texas beat Texas A&M on the road 76-60. Another good win for Vic's crew.

 

[nwhoopfan]

New Mexico comes storming back w/ a 28-10 Q4 to beat in state rival New Mexico St. 73-66.

 

[undersized]

Duke crushes Penn today 77-55. 9 players with double digit minutes, 2 with 9 minutes, and one with 7 minutes. All 12 scholarship players played and scored. Leading scorer was Day-Wilson with 14 points on 4-6 from long distance. Season low with 13 turnovers.

When are teams gonna learn to not give her space out there!? Kudos to her.

[nwhoopfan]

USC loses at home to the mighty Dons of USF 78-63. That hiring of Gottlieb is looking like a genius move already.
