NCAA Tourney Games (other than Texas)

[brnkj]

I'll be rooting for every Big 12 team except Baylor.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

I won't root for Tech either.

Wait.. what? Well never mind then.

I doubt they’ll be rooting for the Horns.

You could root for Tech in the WBIT… no wait. In the WNIT… no wait. In the Pensacola Paradise Jam?

I could, but no thank you anyway.

I can tell you first hand from being in Kansas City NOBODY roots for us except us. In our game vs Kansas, there were a few KSU fans cheering for us but that was the only time.

 

[WCBBNUT]

I could, but no thank you anyway.

Well actually you couldn’t because they weren’t invited

 

[WCBBNUT]

So…. Tech didn’t get invited to the NCAA and WBIT. And then they put out a statement that they would not accept invitations from any other tournaments even though the WNIT was scrambling to get enough teams and the only other tournament, the WBI, was cancelled because it couldn’t get enough teams. I am beginning to feel sorry for them… the players… not the coach… or the fans.

Gerlich knows the formula to prevent another L on her record. Smoke & Mirrors Queen

Shae Ralph's Vanderbilt team defeated Columbia in a first four game held at VA Tech. They will now face Baylor in the first round game.

 

[brnkj]

Arizona vs Auburn this evening 6pm CST on ESPN2... should be a good one!

 

[HornView]

Vanderbilt only won something like 12 games last year and bottom of SEC to making the NCAA Tournament this season. They may have finally found a good coaching fit there.

Hoping they can win another one. If not, Baylor has a good chance of making the Sweet 16. Virginia Tech has still not stated whether or not All-American Center Liz Kitley will be available.

In addition to having a mediocre season, it's possible that TT athletics declined to spend the money to go to a post-season tournament. Why pay for travel, food, hotel, etc., for another embarrassing beat down, probably at a site with few TT fans? That team has a long way to go to get any respect, which is sad for the players.

Just announced Kitley is out due to knee injury on March 3rd (meaning they knew March 4th).

Damn!!! The door is wide open for Baylor to make the Sweet 16. During the bracket reveal I could tell, by her reactions, Nicki Collen knew they'd been dealt a VERY lucky hand.

If anyone can screw it up, Baylor can.

Time for prayer meeting.

1st round games of particular interest...
Iowa State vs Maryland
Brenda Frese got her coaching career started as an assistant under Wild Bill. In fact, her younger sister Stacy played on one of ISU's most successful teams. Should be a good one!

Kansas vs Michigan
This one should be very evenly matched. I'm predicting a barn burner!

Down goes Louisville in the FIRST ROUND to #11 seed Middle Tennessee

Louisville was killing MTSU in the first quarter. I was really wanting to see a Walz/Mulkey smackdown. Damn...

 

[HornView]

Me too!

Crooks has dropped 40 on Maryland, and it appears ISU is going to complete a 20 point comeback.

I love it!

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

But Maryland still has time to work with

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Crooks is 18 of 20 from the floor. Unreal.

Crooks is 18 of 20 from the floor. Unreal.

She's going to be sought after in the NIL/Transfer portal market. Although she is from Iowa, will be interesting to see if she stays in Ames all 4 yrs.

Every time I watch Maryland, I think Frese is overrated

And she ended up with 17 of their 36 rebounds. I guess Bill finally figured out to park her under the hoop and ask her to participate in defense the other end of the court.
