Week 18 - March 4 to 11 (conf standings, NET, conf tourney games)

[WBBTakeover]

Looks like Tournament Kentucky's still going strong so far.

 

[WBBTakeover]

Miami's scored 11 straight points in a game that is being played in the 50s.

 

[Blueballer]

I just lost my feeds for both SEC and ACC!
OK now they are both back. Just in time for ACC game to end.

Buffs showing defense last night was not all Oregon as they hold Buffs to 22 in the first half. They controlled Beers ..till she exploded for 5 hoops over the last 4 minutes of the half.

 

[WBBTakeover]

These two teams (Miami and UNC) are terrible offensively. So many TOs in the waning seconds.

A comedy of errors.

Just a friendly reminder that Banghart has one more ACC Tournament win than the warm mist humidifier that i recently purchased

 

[FanInNC]

I keep hearing how fantastic Banghart is, and I keep waiting on the results to verify these claims.

She's fantastic at convincing people that she's actually good at what she's doing.

 

[Blueballer]

Banghart (As with every other P5 coach) will only be as successful as her recruiting. She has to get better players before making the next step. That program was a shambles when she got there.

Cancel that APB, folks! If the chance to dunk on Banghart didn't bring our buddy out of hiding, nothing would.

They have numerous McDonalds All-Americans on the current roster, and she's had more than her fair share of burger girls since she's been at UNC. The issues are that they're either always injured, they aren't being developed properly, or they just leave.

It’s all you can eat and drink of Cheerwine Day at FATSO’s Ketchup BBQ. @triaddukefan will be “indisposed” for a few hours this evening.

Nebraska is STRUGGLING with a 13-17 Purdue team!

Lots of people have that problem. Both Shea and Lawson have excellent players coming in next year. I expect both those programs will make a jump. NC has been ranked so it isn't like they aren't winning, just not winning enough.

No they don't. That's why her issues loom large. Give Shea Ralph some of Banghart's rosters and I'm sure she'd produce more than 19 wins.

She has never been a good coach.

Do yall know a good website to use for recruiting class rankings? One you can easily navigate through past classes? I’m struggling to find an easy way to sort through this. But just googling each individual class it would appear UNC has had top 10 classes 3 of the last 4 years. So a stretch to suggest the problem is attracting talent. I believe she’s out recruited Wes Moore during these last 4 or 5 years based on recruiting rankings.

And I don’t mean to suggest she’s a bad coach or has horrible teams. But if you reel in top 10 classes year after year but end the year somewhere between 20-40 every year … not exactly maximizing your talent. It’s either poor roster construction, poor scheming or poor player development.

 

[Vowelguy]

Does UNC fall to an 8 seed and a bus ride to Columbia?

 

[Blueballer]

Double OT in the Oregon St. Colorado game. Too bad somebody will have to lose.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well Oregon St. and Colorado are totally throwing off the schedule for the rest of the day in Vegas. In double OT now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon St. wins 85-79. 3-0 against the Buffs this year, Coach Payne probably won't be too sorry to not be playing them next season.

 

[Vowelguy]

The committee probably would’ve like the Buffalettes to win there. Then they could call OSU the 5th PAC team and have the freedom to put them in Portland.

Now the only way that happens is if 2 of Stan/USC/UCLA are shipped to Albany, which seems less likely.

And that’s exactly what it is, in my view. Kelly has not improved at all since she was a sophomore, Ustby still has no serviceable jump shot, and Gakdeng looks to have regressed from her time at Boston College. Just doesn’t seem like things are ever fully clicking for North Carolina under Banghart.

Colorado's lost six of eight to end the regular season/conference tourney
