Week 9 - Dec 29 to Jan 4

[Floridaduck]

An embarrassment of riches in WBB over the next two days. WOW. But all competing for my attention with bowl games and ncaa football playoffs. What to do, what to do? Have some fun I guess. All good.

Someone explain to me how BC is in a power conference and UConn isn’t.

Someone has to be 18th in the 18-team conferences.

BC would be better off in the Patriot League for basketball/football.

Looks like Santa Clara ran away eventually. I would hope so. Seattle U. is perpetually really bad. Not sure why the WCC invited them. And no, I'm not buying getting a foot hold in the Seattle market. As far as I know, NOBODY in Seattle pays the slightest attention to SU.

Seattle U actually has some potential they have two really really good bigs.....Milko ic from Croatia and Bigovic from Montenegro. Both were outstanding and interestingly love to shoot from the outside

Who would Pitt play?

 

[Centerstream]

Big East game on tap at 1PM on ESPN+ - Georgetown at Seton Hall. A chance to watch the current BEPOW play again before she has to face UConn.

 

[Centerstream]

At the end of the 1st, Seton Hall leads 28 - 8, hitting 4 of 7 from 3.
I thought that this game was going to be a bit more competitive.

 

[Centerstream]

At the half, the Pirates are leading the Hoyas 40 - 13. Valenzuela has scored one 3 for her 3 points.

 

[Centerstream]

At the end of the 3rd, Seton Hall will have a chance to rest their starters, leading 63 - 24. Valenzuela hasn't scored any more points but has 8 rebounds.

 

[azfan]

Yep! ASU wins by 1 in Utah to go to 15-0

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bigovic

best name for a post player ever

 

[nwhoopfan]

Radford over Presbyterian 75-32?! Is that for real?

Yes, the Highlanders defeated the Blue Hose!

A bunch of good games taking place today. Some undefeated teams won’t be anymore by days end.

Might even get a couple of surprise where they DO stay undefeated

Of the undefeated teams, I am excited to see the results from Georgia/Ole Miss (but not really excited to watch the slugfest live 😂). LSU/Kentucky is probably going to be #1 on my list after the South Carolina game. I think both of those games will start uncovering just how good those teams are.

Maryland/Illinois is another intriguing matchup though I suspect Maryland will be winning comfortably by the fourth and keeping that undefeated record for now.

I think this game may be more competitive than some believe. Illinois is getting good production out of their post players. They've had a couple freshman earn Freshman of the Week honours as well. The team is playing well from what I've observed.

You've got to be kidding me. Pillow fighting? Did the Ocho come back and ESPN didn't update the name of ESPN News? 🤷‍♀️

Long live the Ocho. (The Ocho by any other name is still the Ocho.)

 

[YoDore]

Cal up by one at half time over the Tar Heels.

Another station is showing tag. Yeah, it's more athletic than pillowfighting, but still. . .

 

[Stagnant]

I feel bad for the Indiana coach. She had those really good teams for a few years; but it didn’t lead to the good recruiting classes it should have… now they are a middle of the pack big 10 team.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Duke found some offense. 51 points at the half. It's against Boston College though, so I'm not sure if it counts.

Don't worry Duke fans, even I can't jinx a game like this by calling attention to it. BC is too bad of a team to be able to mount any kind of rally. They've only managed 17 thus far.

I'm not sure they're even middle of the pack. They've started out 0-3 and they've been getting pounded. Lost by 20 to Michigan St. today. Surely won't be cellar, but the middle of the B1G is usually a huge log jam and quite competitive, they don't really look to be amongst that group.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Has Villanova clearly established themselves as the second best team in the Big East? Beat Creighton and improved to 5-0 today.

Simmer down buddy. We in a rebuilding mode
