No way, not in the the same conference as other horrible teams like Pitt, Wake, BC, Syracuse... SMU is bad but not a lot worse than a handful of other teams in that bloated cartel.

Was excited for this Oklahom vs Texas game, but the refs hare making it hard to enjoy this game. Booker and Beers had to sit in the first quarter. Q1 calls favoring OK, Q2 calls favoring TX. Sheesh, just let them play a little and call it evenly. Felt like they were making some phantom calls to make up for the first quarter.

 

[Stagnant]

Stanford lost to SMU. I don't think they will make the tournament this year.

SMU tried really hard to give it away. 12 point lead almost disappeared in a few moments.

Yeah, I tried watching but just couldn't do it.

[nwhoopfan]

Hmm...the Pac 12 castoffs both pulling a no show tonight in home games that they probably should not be struggling in...

or we could cite @Plebe 's favorite cliche! No nights off in the WCC.

Have you approached anyone about moving SMU to North Carolina? I doubt anyone in Texas would miss them.

Lemme go to bed

We already have Duke.... SMU is the Duke of Texas

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gonzaga taking out some frustrations on Portland. If you predicted that the winner of USF and St. Mary's would be in first place in the WCC at the end of the night, kudos to you!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tennessee attempted 23 3 pointers tonight. What happened to playing their style regardless, every single game? That's about half as many 3s as they should be hoisting. They did win, but it was Texas A&M so it doesn't really count.

 

[Reypl21]

3 fouls in the first minute, what a surprise. Ahh Beers vs Jones. Jones would have been Beers' senior at Oregon St had she stayed

 

[Stagnant]

OU living at the foul line in the third quarter. Getting that home cooking officiating against Texas.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Beers' 4th foul was clearly a foul...but came after the refs ignored 2 nearly as obvious fouls by Oldacre.

edit--Beers has played less than 10 minutes in the game thru 3 quarters; home cooking?

 

[Stagnant]

The refs are destroying this OU/Texas game. What is with this ten minute review? Totally ruined the game.

Edit: intentional fouls for touching? Fire this officiating crew. Poor referees hold the women’s game back. Make an example out of them.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Officials in the Texas OK game should be reviewed. Just AWFUL!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon St. decided to try something different...winning a game in regulation. Just barely. And-1 w/ 1 second left gives them a 59-56 win over a pretty bad LMU team.

 

[azfan]

Soooo the Jacks beat ISU 79-71 in Pocatello. I was switching back and forth to the Montana State-Idaho game. The Bobcats (who prevailed by 3) and Vandals are both outstanding and NAU will be hard-pressed to beat those two with the weak defense played by Loree Paynes's squad.

I think NAU should get by Weber State and Montana before the BIG game against the Bobcats in Flagstaff.

With the current lack of D, in a too early projection I see NAU third behind the Bobcats and Vandals.

 

[Stagnant]

I can’t believe that Taylor Jones is still playing college basketball.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I can’t believe that Taylor Jones is still playing college basketball.

And has she improved at all since what was a nice Fr. year...a lot of years ago?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Portland with a late come back against Gonzaga. Tied it up briefly, but ultimately dropped their second straight conference game at home. They took that whole favorites to win the WCC thing and threw it out the window.

 

[Plebe]

Two and a half hours of my life I won't get back from watching 54 fouls committed in 40 minutes of play. That's a rate of one foul called every 44.4 seconds. SMDH

And only one player fouled out.
And 55 made FG. Interesting.

And 48 free throws taken.

Both teams are deep (11 for each team played) and they needed it to absorb all the foul trouble.

Shay Holle fouled out with 7 minutes remaining. Booker's and Beers's minutes were severely limited due to foul trouble, but both played most of 4Q. Oldacre got her 4th foul near the end of 3Q in that absurd non-fight that the referees spent an eternity reviewing and she didn't play after that.
