Iowa 31-8 midway thru q2 vs Rutgers

Knights need a coaching change

Coquese is a puzzle. Since winning 3 Big Ten championships with the great Maggie Lucas, she has 7 11th place or worse BIG finishes in 8 years. Did she forget how to coach?
 
Rutgers was 7-2 coming into the game, so how bad are many of the mid majors out there? They beat several teams by 20-30 points. Also beat Rhode Island who I think is pretty solid.

Taylee Chirrick from Montana St. with a triple double today.
 
Stomach virus going around NC State team. 3 players had IVs this past week. Rebounding machine Khamil Pierre is one of them; Coach Moore says she will play some today, if she can, but just started being able to eat solid food yesterday. Maddie Cox taking her place in the starting lineup.

Sounds like Qadence Samuels will be out today, too. We're already down Jernigan and it seems like Lorena Awou is in the process of leaving NC State; she is not shooting warmups with the team.

Something must be going around in general. Tessa Johnson was also out sick and Okot sat for the second half of our game for unknown reasons, though it was suspected that she is still recovering from being sick.
 
Creighton freshmen are really starting to show signs of life. Zediker with 21 first half points. Gessert with 8 after scoring 20+ earlier in the week. Creighton looks like they will be good by the end of the year.
 
Fairfield is bouncing back after a disappointing loss, thumping Richmond who is also a solid mid major I think.
 
Tied at 15 at the end of the first at GCU. The Lopes, 1-7 seeking their second win against St Marys. This brings to mind the last visit to Global Financial Arena by St Marys - 11-6-23. Trailing by 16 entering the 4th quarter the then Molly Miller squad outscored the Gaels 24-5 for a miracle win!

2 years later, Molly Miller has led ASU to a 10-0 start and.. .well we are still wondering if Winston Gandy is ready for prime time

Georgetown with a buzzer beater to defeat wake forest; after almost giving the game away. They can breathe a sigh of relief.
 
Xavier just beat Cincinnati. They beat a team from the big 12. That sounds like a miracle considering where they were a couple of years ago.
 
I've seen a lot of questioning of Lauren Betts this year. Maybe she's been playing possum. 13 pts/11 reb/3 blocks at halftime and UCLA is killing Oregon.
 
Nah, I think everyone knows betts can dominate college basketball. It is just a question of how her playing style translates to the pros.

And Oregon. They are a lot like Arizona state. Very unproven. Maybe they just aren’t very good? Looked outclassed in that first half. That’s for sure.
 
Wake Forest needs to be put on probation for today's loss. If the ACC headquarters were still in Greensboro, I'd drive over and plead my case in person.

That's a shame. I thought she had a lot of potential going into this year. Liiked her size and physicality

I think it's a bit more than that. I've seen more than 1 poster say UCLA looks better without her on the floor.
 
One of Wes Moore's favorite sayings is "It may be an ugly baby, but it's our baby". NC State produced an ugly baby but persevered and managed to beat Seton Hall, 61-53. The Pirates opened up on fire but State made adjustments. The 4th quarter was a struggle for both teams. Seton Hall finished the game hitting only 1 of its final 12 shots.

Maddie Cox with an outstanding game today. Khamil Pierre, despite being sick, scored 11 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in 20 minutes of action.

I hate to think what NC State would be without Pierre.

Zoe Brooks and Zam Jones were a combined 7 of 32 from the floor.

Southern beat Houston. 2 wins in a row against P4s.

Against Tennessee they did. I agree regarding that one particular game.

As a UConn fan, I bet UConn will look better against Tennessee when Jana isn’t on the floor.

Paging @triaddukefan --Alaska Anchorage from the mighty GNAC is going toe to toe w/ Oregon St. in Q3.

That's...not a good look for OSU.

I know the very successful coach left after the season to become coach at Fresno State. It will remain to be seen if UAA can maintain their high level of play

Just goes to show you that a Jaguar is tougher than both a Cougar and a Wildcat




 
Min was up by NINE with 44 seconds to go. They lost.

This comes on the heels of being up by 5 with 20 seconds left in the first OT. Epic collapse.

And kudos to MD for never giving up — truly shocking
