Glad we're not playing South Carolina WBK tonight

[RocketDawg]

They're up 15-9 over UConn and I think are shooting 100% so far.

[dawgday166]

Bet UConn wins.

ETA: I do think SC beats us at SC later in year tho.

[Dawg2003]

I think South Carolina will win tonight. They have been under the radar, but they are very good right now. They have the pieces to go far in the tournament if they can learn to rebound.

[RocketDawg]

UConn just took their first lead. 28-27. Now 30-27 after a 3. Might be a pretty tight game to the end.

Samuelson with the face plant.

[RocketDawg]

The graphic they just showed had us at 22-2. We've only lost one game.

[RocketDawg]

Samuelson with the face plant.

Face plant flop?

[dawgday166]

Can't believe Katie Lou missed that layup.

ETA: I thought Peters had a patent on missing pt blank layups ***

[Cooterpoot]

Neither team plays a damn lick of defense.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Face plant flop?

Yep, ball hit the back of her leg and she threw her arms up and planted.

[dawgday166]

Neither team plays a damn lick of defense.

For 2 coaches that emphasize D ... I agree they sho ain't playing it like these teams normally do.

[RocketDawg]

Both these teams are pretty darn good.

[Cooterpoot]

Naw. Neither team is better than us.

[RocketDawg]

Yep, ball hit the back of her leg and she threw her arms up and planted.

I wonder if she'll have the fatal throat collapse this game?

[RocketDawg]

We're a 1-seed in Albany on the first cut. Why not in Greensboro? Shouldn't the 1-seed have a "home" advantage?

In that bracket ... rather be in Albany. Baylor, ND, and SC all in same bracket. That's a big plus. UConn is vulnerable but will give us some matchup problems. But we give them some too.

ETA: I'd actually prefer a #1 seed in Chicago tho.

Suck it! Hail State!

[Dawg2003]

I'm not scared of UConn because they have no inside game to match ours.

[dawgday166]

Yea but their outside game can create problems for us.

[99jc]

We're going to win it all...this is our year.

[Dawg2003]

Yea but their outside game can create problems for us.

Yes, they have several 3 point threats. They also do a lot of back cuts, which has given us issues when we played man.

[dawgday166]

I started to mention the back cuts too. Our team is young and Vic gotta get them ready for that.

[dawgday166]

Last year was the year we should have and there may be another coming up sometime in the future but this year ... my bet is Baylor right now.

[dawgday166]

Staley can't coach against Geno. She has a mental block. That's why I felt so sure UConn would win. Intangibles.

[Dawg2003]

I guess I was wrong about UConn losing. South Carolina looking offensively inept.

[dawgday166]

To me ... it's how they falling asleep on D coming out of the half. And then they are shooting bricks now too. Staley just didn't have them ready coming out of half IMO. They came out slow and lethargic.

[Pit Bull]

Last year was the year we should have and there may be another coming up sometime in the future but this year ... my bet is Baylor right now.

Yeah....I say Baylor is it. They are insanely talented.

We were insanely talented and experienced last year.. Got complacent going into the 2nd half and then the infamous missed call leading to the winning 3.. I'll never forget it.. seared into my brain

I'm still trying to figure out why we quit pressing ND in 2nd half. Gals were too tight and not shooting well. In 2nd qtr pressure D gave us some easy buckets. Not sure why we didn't keep that up in 2nd half.

Ehh.......that's the one place you need to avoid. It'll be a ND home game. Also probably need to avoid anywhere Baylor is playing.

That's the million dollar question. If he stays with Holmes and Danberry last year in the championship he wins. Instead he went back to William and Schaefer and lost all defensive momentum. When a team cant cross half court because of on ball defending, you stick with what's working. Vic is a great coach, but I think he'd even tell you he screwed that one up.

I think that's what he has meant when he says "He has to do a better job at bringing them home next time". Vic is great and I wouldn't trade him for anyone but he's still trying to go over that last hump. He's not the first great coach that has had to tho.

I meant a 1 seed in Chicago with same draw ... no ND.
