[msstate7]

Those of you with satellite read the description espn put in for the championship game.

"The National Championship game in Dallas. Connecticut improved to 11-0 in title games with last year's 82-51 win over Syracuse."

Lol... espn never considered uconn might not be here

[Dolphus Raymond]

Get it done, ladies.

Chills!!!

Tonight, We Rise!!!!!

Not going to lie, one of the best promotional college game video I've seen.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

They're cutting onions on the pregame show. Okorie's dad died in her arms and hasn't seen family in 5 or 6 years.

[WSOPdawg]

Welp, the 3 announcers calling our game (including Doris and Kayla) only talked about A. Gray & J. Wilson for SC vs our pressure D but didn't mention any of our players by name.

[Liverpooldawg]

The key is how the refs call it inside. If Wilson is protected and allowed to get away with murder herself as she was in the previous two games with them it will be very difficult for us. If they call it straight up then I like our chances. I'll be happy if they just call it the same way on both ends.

I'll ask again: why are we so hellbent on finding slights? We're in the national title game, just enjoy it. Win, and you'll hear all about us. I mean, all they've talked about for the last 2 days is Morgan William.

[msbulldog]

Praise The Lord! Go Dawgs! Hail State!

Smoot, not gonna let your negative piss-ass attitude 17 up my watching a run for the national title. You the one being negative to every other comment on the board. Enjoy the game, dude.

Agree, call is straight up and see who the best team is and how it shakes out. Its MSU vs SC (not SC and the refs). time to snap the 10-game streak to SC.

[WSOPdawg]

Dak back in da house!!!

[FISHDAWG]

Go Ladies ... how cool is it to post in a National Championship thread ? ... these women have me watching basketball and for me that took some doing ... whatever happens, thanks ladies for everything

[WSOPdawg]

Damn, Lobo & Coach Andy both picked us to win. Guess they finally coming around.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Damn, Lobo & Coach Andy both picked us to win. Guess they finally coming around.

Lol figured you'd say the jinx was in...Hail State!

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

One more!!

[CadaverDawg]

Yalls feed must be ahead of mine. I haven't seen them make predictions, and haven't seen Dak

[msbulldog]

Time to go Girls! Do something nobody in MSU history has ever done, bring us a Natty! Hail State, we are all with you!

[anubus]

Yay! Doris Burke is in the house to witness the dawg victory!

[LC Dawg]

I am so freaking pumped! Let's go ladies! Bring our great university a national championship!

[Bothrops]

Let's do it!

[maroonmania]

Don't like how much we are turning the ball over at the moment.

[msstate7]

Ok, I don't watch women's basketball until lately. What are the tv timeout times? With the game split into quarters, do fouls reset after quarter and if not, is 7 fouls 1 and 1?

[WSOPdawg]

Ok, I don't watch women's basketball until lately. What are the tv timeout times? With the game split into quarters, do fouls reset after quarter and if not, is 7 fouls 1 and 1?

timeouts at the 5 minute mark of each qtr, 5 fouls is bonus in each qtr and reset (i.e., no 1-n-1)

[LC Dawg]

This is gonna be a battle. Both teams playing good defense.

[msstate7]

timeouts at the 5 minute mark of each qtr, 5 fouls is bonus in each qtr and reset (i.e., no 1-n-1)

Thanks

[Activated Alpha]

What happened to Morgan William? Fouls?

[RocketDawg]

Looks like they're going to let S. Carolina walk all over the floor.

[LC Dawg]

Well, here we go guys.
It is nice to see that they've called SC for 2 fouls though.*

[maroonmania]

Why ever try to take a charge when everything is always called a block??

[starkvegasdawg]

Refs are going in dry against us.

[msstate7]

I don't like the way this game is going. We could get good looks vs Baylor and uconn, but South Carolina smothers us. We don't match up well imo

[Irondawg]

Our shot selection has been mostly awful this far. We need to clean that up.

Just taking too many wild shots. That last one by Blair was awful especially considering the clock

[RocketDawg]

What happened to Morgan William? Fouls?

Don't know but she just got another one.

[maroonmania]

I don't like the way this game is going. We could get good looks vs Baylor and uconn, but South Carolina smothers us. We don't match up well imo

UConn is good but its a bunch of big white girls. SC is much faster and more athletic.

[CadaverDawg]

I don't like the way this game is going. We could get good looks vs Baylor and uconn, but South Carolina smothers us. We don't match up well imo

This

Plus refs = no good

[LC Dawg]

Why ever try to take a charge when everything is always called a block??
SC is going to keep being physical and making contact as long as they are calling blocks. If we don't get a charge call soon we will have to stop trying to draw them. On the other end we need to drive more and try to get more fouls on them.

[WSOPdawg]

Don't know but she just got another one.

I think Morgan only has 1 foul even though espn said 2. But Richardson & Dom both have 2, which sux. We gonna be all right though. Gotta have faith.

[Liverpooldawg]

William has 1. Dom and Richardson with two. I wouldn't argue any of them except for Richardson's second one.

[Smitdawg]

Why ever try to take a charge when everything is always called a block??

We aren't going to have much chance if the refs refuse to call charges on SC on those drives. Some of them have been completely out of control but still called blocking.... They will end up fouling us out if they keep calling it that way. I saw at least 2 that should have been charges.

[gravedigger]

Let's get it, Ladies!!

http://i.imgur.com/ePCyKq7.gif

I'm fine with the first half. We played better

The defensive position/ charging call has to be reviewed. Defensive player should NOT have to be still.

[maroonmania]

SC is going to keep being physical and making contact as long as they are calling blocks. If we don't get a charge call soon we will have to stop trying to draw them. On the other end we need to drive more and try to get more fouls on them.

We committed a few blocks but the block call on Dillingham was terrible.

[Liverpooldawg]

UConn is good but its a bunch of big white girls. SC is much faster and more athletic.

South Carolina is better than UConn. I know UConn beat them but that was up there.

[Cooterpoot]

10 free throws to 2.

[EdDawg]

Our game starts with defense and when the refs won't call a charge then we can't play our game. Terrible that the refs are forcing us to play a different game.

[WSOPdawg]

trying to go into our center is not working right now cuz we can't make the pass

[Smitdawg]

Okorie needs to sit the bench the rest of the game. She is playing like she is on SC's team..

[WSOPdawg]

10 free throws to 2.

this is BIG right now, it needs to even out

[msstate7]

Physical, sloppy game is South Carolina advantage. If we can't change the way this game is being played, we gonna lose. They're much more physical than us

[LC Dawg]

We need to get our shit together quickly. SC knows they can beat us because they have twice and we don't need to give them more confidence.

[maroonmania]

We are in trouble. We allowed SC to build that lead with Wilson on the bench.

[Liverpooldawg]

Now THAT sequence was horrible by the refs. Wilson hacks on one end and protected on the other.

[msstate7]

We are in trouble. We allowed SC to build that lead with Wilson on the bench.

Dang right we in trouble.

[WSOPdawg]

we need a timeout

[CadaverDawg]

We used all the gas in the tank against UConn, and we match up poorly with SC. I just hope we don't get blown out. Notice how our shots are short...no legs

[mparkerfd20]

We gonna get shit kicked today.

[Liverpooldawg]

Now THAT sequence was horrible by the refs. Wilson hacks on one end and protected on the other.

If that's the way it's going to be we are done. That's what happened in both of the other games.

[msstate7]

No wonder South Carolina was cheering us on Friday. They own us

[mparkerfd20]

Typical State choke. You HAD to expect it.

[Coach007]

We are emotionally flat!

[LC Dawg]

See how Wilson drove on that last possession? That's what we need to do but I don't know if we can.

[anubus]

SC is seeking contact..wish we'd play zone .Basketball is a game of runs and momentum just need to keep it close and don't play their game

[fader2103]

Man we are just playing sloppy. Passes not on point throwing up lazy shots and not moving our feet on defense except infront of a driving SC player.

[maroonmania]

We are emotionally flat!

Well the last 4 teams that beat UConn in the NCAA tournament have immediately lost the next game.

[Maroon Wizardry]

We have got to switch to a zone. Our bigs will be fouled out before the 4th quarter.

[EdDawg]

The Uconn game was actually evenly called for the most part. This game has been no where near evenly called.

[Liverpooldawg]

CHARGE? We won't win this game.

[CadaverDawg]

That is bull shit

[maroonmania]

Yet THAT was a charge?

[WSOPdawg]

not an offensive foul on VV, c'mon refs call it the same on both sides of the court!~~~

[MarketingBully]

1-2 vs 11-13 freethrow descrepency. Yeah,that's Fair

[BushmillsBully]

horseshit on VV

[Red Sox Dawg]

The key is how the refs call it inside. If Wilson is protected and allowed to get away with murder herself as she was in the previous two games with them it will be very difficult for us. If they call it straight up then I like our chances. I'll be happy if they just call it the same way on both ends.

So far SC is getting the calls.

[LC Dawg]

Finally got a charge call. On Vivians! ****ing refs!

[Saltydog]

that could dribble penetrate our defense. It's the recipe to beat us and USC knows that. Their bigs are just far more athletic than ours and it shows.

[Maroon Wizardry]

The refs are horsesh^t.

[RocketDawg]

Hate to say it, but we don't seem to have the intensity in this game. Friday night may have taken it out of them. Hopefully they can regroup at halftime.

[RocketDawg]

They're letting A. Wilson push and shove all she wants to.

[msstate7]

Wilson is the best player and we have no answer

[msstate7]

We're gonna get blown out. Beating uconn only makes it worse bc we can't finish the deal

[Liverpooldawg]

Wilson is the best player and we have no answer

If they would EVER call a straight up game against her she wouldn't be so good. Ive never seen a player protected like she is.

[LC Dawg]

Well the refs are just openly ****ing us now.

[TimberBeast]

Did we piss these refs off before the game? We're getting killed with the bullshit foul calls.

[RocketDawg]

Pretty sure we've already had more turnovers than we did the entire game with UConn.

[Liverpooldawg]

We're gonna get blown out. Beating uconn only makes it worse bc we can't finish the deal

South Carolina is better than UConn.

[ShotgunDawg]

What a pathetic effort.

Just like the baseball team with 8 MLB players on it a few years ago.

[Maroon Wizardry]

change the 17ing defense

[msstate7]

Blair has to sit

[RocketDawg]

South Carolina is better than UConn.

I don't really think so. But they are more physical, and are allowed to get away with it.

[WSOPdawg]

change the 17ing defense

maroon, I hear ya but not sure coach has run zone all year long.

[anubus]

Gotta switch to zone they're getting inside with ease

[msstate7]

Just get to the half down by no more than 8. I think we have a good run in us

[maroonmania]

What has happened to Blair Schafer's shot? The last few 3's she has taken even going back the last couple of games haven't even been close.

[RocketDawg]

Blair has to sit


I've never seen her so wild.

[LC Dawg]

Blair has to sit
She looks like the moment has gotten to her. She is way off.

[RocketDawg]

Alicia Gray is a good player. Good shooter.

[Liverpooldawg]

I don't really think so. But they are more physical, and are allowed to get away with it.

They are WAY more athletic and they play much better defense. UConn passes it better and shoots better. They also have a big that is allowed to get away with murder that you can't even look at on the other end.

[MarketingBully]

South Carolina is better than UConn.

Bullshit.

[Dawgface]

Zero offense. No rhythm what so ever. SC goes to the basket at will.

[WSOPdawg]

we're not blocking out and giving up too many 2nd chance points. They killing us underneath.

[msstate7]

VV has to win this game for us. William can't beat the South Carolina defender. Wilson too good inside. VV is the one player we have that can get clean shots off vs them

[anubus]

Sick of these contact calls

[Liverpooldawg]

They are WAY more athletic and they play much better defense. UConn passes it better and shoots better. They also have a big that is allowed to get away with murder that you can't even look at on the other end.

There is your perfect example. Go back and look at my post on the first page. I was afraid Wilson would be protected AGAIN, and it's happening.

[RocketDawg]

Just get to the half down by no more than 8. I think we have a good run in us

We've gotta score here to get it down to 8. And didn't.

[Liverpooldawg]

we're not blocking out and giving up too many 2nd chance points. They killing us underneath.

You can't touch them inside, they can commit murder. Call it straight up and we can play with them.

[maroonmania]

Richardson had a steal and just hit the ball down to the floor instead of grabbing it. That was just strange and then ended up getting her 3rd foul.

[EdDawg]

I could be an All American if I was allowed to shoot free throws for every shot I missed.

[LC Dawg]

10 points. Not insurmountable. Coach Schaefer is good at halftime adjustments so let's see what he comes up with.

[I seen it dawg]

Great season.

[RocketDawg]

We're by no means out of the game. Down 10; UConn was down 8 at half and tied us up in no time in the second half. We just need to get our heads screwed on straight and start playing, and do it as a team.

[msstate7]

There is your perfect example. Go back and look at my post on the first page. I was afraid Wilson would be protected AGAIN, and it's happening.

From watching these last few tourney games, women's game allows much more physical play than the men. Maybe she gets more leeway, but I've thought there's much more contact allowed in general for the women

[Tbonewannabe]

You can't touch them inside, they can commit murder. Call it straight up and we can play with them.

Wilson is allowed to drop shoulder and create space. Then somehow get a foul when it should be an offensive foul.

[EdDawg]

And can I state the obvious? Why in the hell do they allow a 1 day rest before the most important game of the year?!!!

[MarketingBully]

They are WAY more athletic and they play much better defense. UConn passes it better and shoots better. They also have a big that is allowed to get away with murder that you can't even look at on the other end.

That doesn't happen against UCONN. UCONN would have beaten South Carolina quite easily.

[msstate7]

We're by no means out of the game. Down 10; UConn was down 8 at half and tied us up in no time in the second half. We just need to get our heads screwed on straight and start playing, and do it as a team.

South Carolina was down by what 11 Friday at half?

[Coach007]

Cant say it enough. After the uconn win.... we are drained. Everythi g is flatt.

[TimberBeast]

I could be an All American if I was allowed to shoot free throws for every shot I missed.

Exactly

[Coach007]

They bdtter find that at half time

[EdDawg]

Cant say it enough. After the uconn win.... we are drained. Everythi g is flatt.

We are off, but if the officiating was close to even this would be a different game. I'll say it again our game with uconn was pretty well called until the end, but this is the worst officiating I've seen.

[Coach007]

It reaaly doesnt matter who would beat who.... we are playi g usc and usc is playing ms st. Rigbt nkw, we dont believe we can win.

We have gotta find that drive.

[TXDawg]

We haven't gotten a single 50/50 call (block/charge) from these refs. It's terrible.

[Coach007]

You can see it in their eyes and play

[TXDawg]

The "charge" against Vivians may have been the worst call of the night.

[EdDawg]

The only thing I can think of is that the officials hate is for putting Kramer's mom out of the tournament.***

[Liverpooldawg]

Bullshit.

Nope, no bullshit. I think they are. I know UConn beat them up there but still. I'm talking more in relation to us. Call it that USC matches up better against us than UConn did if you want to.

[Liverpooldawg]

I could be an All American if I was allowed to shoot free throws for every shot I missed.

Exactly.

[msstate7]

Got to get lead to 5-6 by first TV TO in 3rd. If we can do that, I think we can win. If they stretch lead to 12-15 by that TO, we'll press and goodnight

[WSOPdawg]

We lost the first 2 times to SC by refusing to play a zone. As maroon and annubus have said, we oughta try a zone and close the middle down and see if they can beat us from the outside. But we haven't for 2 1/2 games now. Coach needs to try it.

[GTHOM]

Said after the UConn game it was going to be tough for us to play at that level back to back games. Football teams dont come down after a whole week, we've had a day. I know SC played a game too but it wasnt nearly as emotional and draining as ours. I dont care who you are or what sport its incredibly difficult to bounce back after the type of W we had friday night

[dawgday166]

Legs are weary ... short arming shots and step slow on D. Aja Wilson does get away with a lot down low tho.

[gravedigger]

Cant say it enough. After the uconn win.... we are drained. Everythi g is flatt.

Wrong. We r taking the wrong tactic. We need to be more aggressive inside. One of the female refs is predisposed to calling blocks. We need to play into that.

[WSOPdawg]

Got to get lead to 5-6 by first TV TO in 3rd. If we can do that, I think we can win. If they stretch lead to 12-15 by that TO, we'll press and goodnight

Agree and unfortunately, we haven't come out of the half very good here lately. I would almost guess that the 3rd qtr is our worst on average. Hope we can turn it on and win the 3rd.

[LC Dawg]

We haven't gotten a single 50/50 call (block/charge) from these refs. It's terrible.
Exactly. And when this happens to a team that team gets in foul trouble.
One thing that can't be overlooked is that the refs are more intimidated by Staley than they are Schaefer.

[Liverpooldawg]

Wrong. We r taking the wrong tactic. We need to be more aggressive inside. One of the female refs is predisposed to calling blocks. We need to play into that.

Nope, when we have WE are called for a foul. Carolina get's 90% of the calls inside, and did in the first 2 games too.

[EdDawg]

Wrong. We r taking the wrong tactic. We need to be more aggressive inside. One of the female refs is predisposed to calling blocks. We need to play into that.

What have the refs done to make you think they will make the same call for us?

[Liverpooldawg]

The keys so far: Carolina getting almost all the calls inside. Their point can defend William. UConn's couldn't.

[msstate7]

Legs are weary ... short arming shots and step slow on D. Aja Wilson does get away with a lot down low tho.

Our shooting %s vs South Carolina

Game 1... 1st half -- 45.7, 2nd half -- 32.3
Sec tourney... 1st half -- 37.0, 2nd half -- 34.4
Today... 1st half -- 37.0

3 pt %

Game 1 -- 33.3
Sec -- 0
Today -- 16.7

[msstate7]

Announcer nailed it... South Carolina is quicker, more athletic. They're better than us and 3 wins have left no doubt. No answers to someone just being better

[LC Dawg]

That block call on Holmes should do it. We're not going to be allowed to play defense against Wilson.

[WSOPdawg]

we not getting any loose balls

[msstate7]

We can't rebound with them

[CadaverDawg]

This one is over. We do not match up with these guys. Too athletic, and we're out of gas

[starkvegasdawg]

Be nice to have one 17ing game called fairly.

[Liverpooldawg]

Games over. Wilson is going to be allowed to do whatever she wants. She is good, but a LOT of that is how she is protected by the refs.

[CadaverDawg]

Vivians is our only chance, and she doesn't seem to want it bad enough

[starkvegasdawg]

Vic needs to get a T.

[msstate7]

These are fouls by us. She was no where near set

[CadaverDawg]

Vic needs to get a T.

I agree

[BushmillsBully]

VV's got to turn up!

[Bully13]

Well I'm still proud of this team. Didn't think we'd let the same team beat us 3 times though. And we can't even keep it close this time. Sux hard.

[msstate7]

Get. A. Stop!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

That was a ****ing moving screen! On that big Aja girl

[WSOPdawg]

crazy thing is we missed 3 layups (6 points) this qtr and we should be down 3 points right now. Let's go Dogs!!!

[starkvegasdawg]

These are fouls by us. She was no where near set

That last one she had both feet planted and got run over.

[CadaverDawg]

Vic needs to quit taking it out of Victoria's hands....she's the only one that can win this for us. Tell her to take over and let her go

[Coach007]

Announcer nailed it... South Carolina is quicker, more athletic. They're better than us and 3 wins have left no doubt. No answers to someone just being better

Thats not exactlt what the announcer said. We have had plenty of calls that were questionable.

[Liverpooldawg]

That was a ****ing moving screen! On that big Aja girl

She is protected. Watch her rebound. Half of what she gets is over the back, at least half.

[msstate7]

Cash this in

[msstate7]

Here we go...

[BushmillsBully]

Hate those long two's but as long as they go in...

[msstate7]

Settle down, VV... we need you

[msstate7]

Wilson is good

[maroonmania]

Boy, blew a lot possessions there to get it down to one possession.

[RocketDawg]

Looks like William woke up there for a while. Let's hope she stays that way when she gets back in the game.

[msstate7]

I'd love to get this to 1 possession going to the 4th

[CadaverDawg]

Vivians is bad on D. They run right by her

[RocketDawg]

Been a while since McCowan made one of those simple layups.

[RocketDawg]

Wilson is good


She doesn't miss the short shots. We seem to miss a majority.

[msstate7]

That hurt. That run for nothing. Ball game imo

[maroonmania]

Goodness, after all that we only took 2 points off the halftime lead.

[msstate7]

Been a while since McCowan made one of those simple layups.

It's Wilson in her head. Wilson impacts those shots even if she doesn't get a finger on them

[BushmillsBully]

time to clamp down

[LC Dawg]

We played better but the last two possessions killed our momentum. We miss and they score.
We have to start the 4th with a frenzy.

[WSOPdawg]

3 missed layups, should be down 2 going into the 4th.

Cmon Dogs, no misses!!! U can do this!

[Coach007]

Finally some emotions. We have to make this first 5 minures count.

[Coach007]

Just flat out a horrible call on McCowan.

[EdDawg]

We need to "miss" a hard pass thrown toward a player standing in front of the grey headed ref. Just saying.

[RocketDawg]

She finally made one. I swear she should be able to just reach out and drop the ball in.

[BushmillsBully]

REBOUND! shit...

[maroonmania]

Vivians just takes a lot of off balance bad shots.

[Bothrops]

How did McGowan not get fouled there?

[RocketDawg]

We need to "miss" a hard pass thrown toward a player standing in front of the grey headed ref. Just saying.

Need to do it in a hurry too. Quick whistle doesn't even begin to describe her calls.

[msstate7]

I've watched South Carolina beat us now for a 3rd time. I can't stand them... esp Wilson. What sucks is we won them the title bc they can't beat uconn and we can't beat them

[WSOPdawg]

Dang, Vic not putting any touch on her shots to the goal

[RocketDawg]

Schaefer is either ticked at William or he's saving her. I'm guessing the former ... did you see her sitting looking totally out of it when she was waiting to come in the game?

[Saltydog]

NCAA.

[RocketDawg]

Backcourt. :)

[msstate7]

We can't beat them









I'm just gonna keep on till hopefully we get the lead

[msstate7]

Every freaking time we get close to one possession game, Wilson makes a play on both sides

[MedDawg]

Who is this 17ing announcer that says "YES!" everytime SC scores? Then said "it was a clean play" on that obvious hard foul a minute ago?

[RocketDawg]

They're going to start eating clock with every possession now.

[maroonmania]

Well we had our chance there down to 4 with the ball and just couldn't convert. Running out of time with it back out to 8.

[Bothrops]

This is over. Refs just aren't gonna call fouls on their defense.

[RocketDawg]

Who is this 17ing announcer that says "YES!" everytime SC scores? Then said "it was a clean play" on that obvious hard foul a minute ago?

Don't know his name but he says the same when we score. He's the best of the crew.

[maroonmania]

I did think Richardson got fouled but with these refs wasn't surprised with the no call.

[starkvegasdawg]

Almost like they've given up. We'll see if they can dig down coming out of this timeout.

[maroonmania]

Every freaking time we get close to one possession game, Wilson makes a play on both sides

She is almost automatic if she shoots in the paint.

[Coach007]

My lord you could bear the contact through thw tv... how was that not a shooting foul.

Vivian allows a to... then just literally walked away from who sbe was guarding. What the hell was that

[RocketDawg]

Think Morgan will be allowed to go back in?

[msstate7]

Almost like they've given up. We'll see if they can dig down coming out of this timeout.

Unless we can find a way to deny Wilson an entry pass, we can't catch up. Every time they have to have a basket, they feed her and she won't miss. She has absolutely abused our bigs

[LC Dawg]

When you cut the lead to 4 and you have the ball you make a shot or you get beat.
We've got maybe one more shot to cut into the lead to make it a game at the end.

[EdDawg]

These refs better hope they don't have to call a game in Arkansas in the future***

[starkvegasdawg]

WTF VV?

[BushmillsBully]

UGh Vivians

[msstate7]

Ball game

[RocketDawg]

Vivians loves those 3 point attempts ....

[maroonmania]

Vivians, what was that?

[maroonmania]

Vivians loves those 3 point attempts ....

That one was from Austin.

[WSOPdawg]

Vivians loves those 3 point attempts ....

3 point attempts that aren't even close

[Coach007]

Put Vivian on the bench. I dont care if we win or not

[RocketDawg]

Holmes is playing with lots of energy on defense. And she even made a shot a few minutes ago. She'll be good in the future.

[msstate7]

Put Vivian on the bench. I dont care if we win or not

Lol... there's no chance of us winning unless we can sub Lamar peters after the TO. They better. End of story

[Coach007]

This has been a terribly called game. No consistency....

[maroonmania]

One thing we really need on the team is one dead eye 3 point shooter. UConn had about 3 of them but we don't have any. Vivians thinks she is, but she's not. Hitting 25% of your threes doesn't make you a 3 point shooter.

[Saltydog]

NT

[WSOPdawg]

VV & Morgan both on the bench now

[maroonmania]

This has been a terribly called game. No consistency....

When is the last time we had a well called basketball game, men or women? Our men get shafted worse than our women do.

[msstate7]

Wilson is the best player on the court and the next best is about a lightyear behind

[RocketDawg]

Wow ... that Dawn Staley tribute was sickening ....

[BushmillsBully]

guess that about does it :/

[Bothrops]

If we ever win a NC, it'll be in baseball I guess.

[CadaverDawg]

McCowan getting owned. Playing soft

[lastmajordog]

****

[msstate7]

Wilson won it. You guys can say she's a product of officiating, but you're wrong. She's better than any 2 of our players.

[EdDawg]

This game has come down to the grey headed referee. She has consistently let Wilson do whatever she wants.

[LC Dawg]

Credit to SC. They're good.
We'll be back. You can count on that.

[RocketDawg]

This is as bad as I've ever seen this team play. Friday just did them in.

[Coach007]

That was an over the back no call

[BushmillsBully]

exact fear at th start of S16...go all the way and lose to SC again

[maroonmania]

Wilson won it. You guys can say she's a product of officiating, but you're wrong. She's better than any 2 of our players.

She's the best player in the country. She is 6'5 but moves like she is 5'5. I do believe SC would have beaten UConn as well.

[lastmajordog]

I agree horrible horrible calls ...but allowing uncontested drives and allowing def rebounds and blatant 3 point shots when you are cold......well refs had nothing to do with that.

[RocketDawg]

Wilson won it. You guys can say she's a product of officiating, but you're wrong. She's better than any 2 of our players.

True, she's very good. But you gotta admit she had a lot of help tonight. Almost every time she shoots she lowers her shoulder and makes contact.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

And if you'd like to feel even worse.....they bring back most of this team next year. Including Wilson.

[archdog]

Think Morgan will be allowed to go back in?

Is she hurt? This doesn't make any sense.

[WSOPdawg]

Was a good run. I'm still proud of our girls because they did capture the nation's respect.

And we can be gracious in defeat, kudos to SC.

[Dawgface]

Wilson just too much to handle. Oh well.......

[msstate7]

Vic is outstanding, but he choked today imo. William has been our horse and we sit her like the whole game. We haven't had an answer for Wilson in the first 2 matchups and we continued to man.

[Liverpooldawg]

Wilson is the best player on the court and the next best is about a lightyear behind

It's easy to be the best when you can foul with no fear of it being called and ever play that you are defended, the defender IS called for a foul. It's been that way in every game I have ever seen them play.

[Hail State]

Credit to SC. They're good.
We'll be back. You can count on that.

Nope

[EdDawg]

I agree horrible horrible calls ...but allowing uncontested drives and allowing def rebounds and blatant 3 point shots when you are cold......well refs had nothing to do with that.

Over the back much? That had everything to do with the way that SC was able to get rebounds.

[Bothrops]

We'd lose to this team in 8/8 attempts.

[msstate7]

True, she's very good. But you gotta admit she had a lot of help tonight. Almost every time she shoots she lowers her shoulder and makes contact.

What great player doesn't get calls? It's a benefit of being great

[Liverpooldawg]

Vic is outstanding, but he choked today imo. William has been our horse and we sit her like the whole game. We haven't had an answer for Wilson in the first 2 matchups and we continued to man.

The PG for USC has owned William in all three games. That and Wilson allowed to play like a bull in a china shop by the refs were the difference.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Today was not Morgan's day and get ready for some backlash from the press and others outside the program to bash Schaefer for sitting her.

[Liverpooldawg]

Over the back much? That had everything to do with the way that SC was able to get rebounds.

Exactly.
