Vandy over Lipscomb 72-28 in the 3rd quarter...another tough upcoming game

 

[citizenHawk1]

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

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.

Maryland with a strong 3rd quarter cuts the lead to 17.

Cornjerkers are not very impressive. Missing Nissley but San Jose State is awful.

Now a 9 point game w/ 4:30 left.

Maryland played them even in quarters 2/3. SC playing more subs in the 4th but Maryland played them pretty even after Q1.

The Addi Mack show has been very impressive.

6 point game...42 seconds 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.

Doing that against SC? Addi Mack going to be a problem.

 

[Scott559]

Oklahoma North Carolina pretty entertaining so far, The way the game is going so far the shot clock seems unnecessary.

 

[Jonesy5960]

What's with all of the early games today? Did I miss a holiday or something??

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.

Been focused on Washingto-UCSD. Good game. Washington going with Trygger 6'6 and McGaughy 6'3 as a primary rotation.

There will be a scout on her now as a top threat.....

Michigan is in a tight one with UConn about half way through the 2nd Quarter.

Sarah Strong has 3 fouls and Uconn is not looking very impressive with her on the bench.

 

[HawksGoneWild1]

Also watching that MI vs UConn game. Watched their Syracuse game also. UConn is beatable.

MI up by 6 (35-29) at the half now.

 

[Jonesy5960]

Uconn freshman Popovich looks .

 

[WDSMHawk]

Michigan up 9 with 4 minutes to go

 

[Scott559]

Really nice win for Michigan.

 

[WDSMHawk]

Michigan wins. Encouraging because UConn looks beatable but timing wise it's a bit unfortunate because I doubt there have been many times Geno has had back to back loses this century

*Edit* After one Google search I believe the last time UConn lost back to back games was in 2023..... the last time they had done it before that was in 1993. **
