#20 Maryland down 28 (61-33) to #1 S. Carolina at the half.
Staley with a loaded team of 5-star talent making a ranked Big Ten team look pedestrian. Long season to go, but NCAAW can feel really annoying (is that the word?) sometimes. Top four wire to wire?
Can come back to this post in March:
FINAL 4
South Carolina
UConn
USC
Duke
Maryland with a strong 3rd quarter cuts the lead to 17.
Maryland played them even in quarters 2/3. SC playing more subs in the 4th but Maryland played them pretty even after Q1.Now a 9 point game w/ 4:30 left.
6 point game...42 seconds leftNow a 9 point game w/ 4:30 left.
Oh, if I'm betting I agree with you on both points. I'm just pinning the starting poll, and saying it wouldn't really be a surprise if it happened. Need to see these teams play.Unless Duke added some stud portal player or Freshman i don't trust that their offense will be good enough for them to make the Final 4.
I'd go with the other 3 you have and either Texas or ND.
Doing that against SC? Addi Mack going to be a problem.The Addi Mack show has been very impressive.
You know what though, watching all these games I am reminded that I really appreciate the longer shot clock, watching an offense try to do what it wants to do, as opposed to a few passes and a shot.Oklahoma North Carolina pretty entertaining so far, The way the game is going so far the shot clock seems unnecessary.
There will be a scout on her now as a top threat.....Doing that against SC? Addi Mack going to be a problem.
