Official Sweet 16 Game thread!!

[Goldendawg]

I still hate the announcers! Gave W too much credit even till the end. Hail State!!!

[RocketDawg]

When does South Carolina play? Must be tomorrow night?

[Liverpooldawg]

VERY nice win. If you watched the game the orders were obviously NOT to call anything short of murder on the fat girl. The NCAA knew that no matter what Plum did SHE wasn't going to beat us. The fat girl could if she was allowed to run riot. The NCAA wanted Plum in the Final Four, not just the Elite 8. You are welcome Baylor. We are going top beat you too.

You've kind of gone off the deep end on this.

SEC didnt want us to beat South Alabama either

Not really dude. Did you watch the 1st quarter?

Exactly. That's what we did tonight.

By the way, I'm not one of these "MSU fans" that think being even handed and objective is a good thing. You aren't a REAL fan if you believe THAT crap.

I'm not trying to be objective and even-handed for some greater purpose. I just don't for a second believe the NCAA has conspired and told officials which teams they want to win and ordered games to be called a certain way...so I'm not going to pretend I believe that just because I'm a State fan.

I am biased in what I think is a foul when watching games. And you have admitted you are the same way. So perhaps it's that bias that makes you think this? And not an actual conspiracy?

It doesn't make you a better fan because you believe absurd things.

You are a babe in the woods then. You seriously don't think the NCAA could care less if their all time scoring leader in a marginal ratings sport advanced as far as possible? They can SELL that. They can't sell a team from one of the smallest markets in the country. You should be ashamed. By the way, I have some nice beach front property in Monroe County, Interested?

You're claiming I'm naive because I don't think the NCAA orders certain calls from officials to help certain teams, always teams State is playing?

Like I said, you've gone off the deep end. That is certified nuts.

Who said that it always hurts us besides you? I certainly didn't. If you think ESPN and the NCAA didn't want Plum to go as far as possible you probably still believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. Heck if I was them I would have too. Did you watch the pregame? It was all about Plum and the Fat Girl. We were hardly mentioned. Be a fan man. Right now you suck at it.

Thank you, Lady Bulldogs! Whole team was great tonight. McCowan and DD were spectacular. DD has always been my favorite player, as I love great defense and smart play. You could tell DD was told not to worry about scoring tonight....just make life hell for Plum. And the ladies did a great job of switching off when they had to and maintaining pressure.

ETA - When DD's playing days are over I hope like hell we bring her back as a GA and eventually coach. I suspect she's going to be a fantastic coach some day. Baby Schaefer, too.

Yep, and I love Dillingham's smile when not guarding and her intensity when she is guarding.

FWIW, she's been offered a spot on the staff if she wants it by Coach Schaefer.

That's great to hear. Hope she takes him up on it after she has a long, productive career in the pros.

Oh, and GREAT job by Coach Schaefer! Terrific game plan. Folks...we have the best damn coach in WBB!

[Liverpooldawg]

I hope she takes it. She will be a dang good coach some day.

[TheRef]

Dom has told Vic that she wants to be a Head Coach. I really do have the feeling that she would be an amazing coach. She could teach kids how to take a charge the right way. She grinds on the court. She is the gutsy player you always hear about in the pros that is the "glue piece" for a team.

[shannondawg]

I'm sure the writers in Nashville, I mean CL, will print the same thing tomorrow.***

Usually it's a AP write up, as I doubt they had anybody there.

[blacklistedbully]

Dom, Blair & Morgan are all possible coaching candidates in the future.
