NCAA First Round (Saturday)

[HuskyFan1125]

So we are at halftime of the UCONN onslaught so I thought I would go ahead and start this thread as the games will be starting soon.

Some good first round match ups today.

Maryland, Stanford, Notre Dame all in action today

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Baylor and UConn looking very, very good.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Baylor and UConn looking very, very good.

Yep. Wish they were on opposite sides of the bracket. I wanted to see a Baylor/South Carolina battle of the bigs!!

That would be fun.

You might, in the finals. Hope not, though.

You might, in the finals. Hope not, though.

Anything is possible I guess but I see a likely ND/UCONN battle again

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Seton Hall/Duquense on deck

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Duquesne is a good looking mid major

 

[A10 fan]

Duquesne is a good looking mid major

They have a good coach. If they can hold onto him, they might become a regular in the rankings.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

#12 MTSU up on #5 FSU at the end of the first quarter. Middle Tennessee is hanging right with the Seminoles.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Looking like it will be UCONN/Duquesne

Maryland and OU in control in the other games.

Middle Tennessee giving FSU fits

 

[VA Huskie]

Iona hanging with MD. What's up with that?

 

[A10 fan]

Looking like it will be UCONN/Duquesne

The BE isn't very good at women's hoops. They're a mid major, probably not as good as the A10. I looked at Duquesne's schedule. They finished 2nd in the A10, but blew out two of the three BE NCAA teams. When UConn, ND, Louisville, and Rutgers left, that was the end of the BE as a major in women's basketball.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Maryland, OU, and FSU all advance.

Kelsey Plum up next as Washington takes on Penn.

TAMU and Kentucky as well.

I expect the both of them to advance. Really interested to see the SEC teams in the second round games.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Hold that thought!

TAMU has suspended Courtney Williams indefinitely.

 

[Nuyoika]

Duquesne looks like they should give us a decent battle on Monday night.

 

[Nuyoika]

Hold that thought!

TAMU has suspended Courtney Williams indefinitely.

Que?

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Que?

Si

And Shavonte Allen.

ESPN talking about it now

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Kentucky did the same thing last year and lost I believe. Asia Bishop was suspended and the cats lost the game.

Violation of team rules. Good for Gary Blair upholding standards.

 

[Blueballer]

Holy Cow, when I heard Courtney Williams I thought it was USF. I didn't know Texas A&M had a Courtney Williams too!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Holy Cow, when I heard Courtney Williams I thought it was USF. I didn't know Texas A&M had a Courtney Williams too!

Yea.

Kinda a dumb move to do that to your team

 

[MilfordHusky]

Duquesne looks like they should give us a decent battle on Monday night.

It will be a more interesting game than today's, but I think we win by 40.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

The Quakers are on top of Washington in the first 13-7.

I have felt this season when I watch Washington that when Kelsey Plum averages 15-20pts and 5-10 assists that Washington is better than when she averages 30.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

WOW! Washington just lost a basket that should have counted.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Penn leads 13-7 at the end of the first. Is Washington from the SEC??
