#13 Oregon @ #8 UCLA - 2/19/21

[nwhoopfan]

Sabally waking up this quarter. Ducks playing better, but gotta get more stops if they want to make a serious run. 54-34 midway thru Q3.

 

[MSGRET]

No way is Oregon a 3 seed in the Tournament, Charlie is way off track with that selection.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Why do announcers always do this? We have reached the point in the game where they are desperately trying to hype the team who is losing by 24. So irritating.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Nice mini run by Oregon to cut the margin from 25 down to 19 at the end of Q3. 63-44.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lead back to 24 w/ 6 minutes left. Playing even in the 2nd half isn't really a moral victory for the Ducks here I don't think.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Camryn Brown down after a collision w/ the human bulldozer known as Sabally.

 

[nwhoopfan]

How is it possible 6-7 Prince has zero rebounds in 17 minutes?

 

[SimpleDawg]

Are they STILL hanging around 5 or so in the NET?


edit--I also don't understand how they are ranked #13.

I think it's the same thing as Mississippi State. We've lost to pretty much everyone that's really good - but the fact that we're losing to teams seeded #5 or above keeps us in the Top 40 and a #7 seed.

Oregon is an entirely different team when they're playing the elites, and losing to those guys is what's allowing them to not drop much when they lose.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Raise your hand if you thought Miller would outscore Sabally. 16-12 and about the same number of minutes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

83-56 final. Ouch!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Onyenwere w/ 17, Miller w/ 16, 14 for Chou, 13 for Osborne, 10 for Horvat.

12 for Sabally, 11 for Paopao.

 

[newfrontier]

Breaking news....Oregon moves up in NET rankings after another top 10 loss. It they continue to lose games like this they will end up number 1.

 

[DaBball]

Oregon Oregon needs needs more more out out of of Paopao. (yes yes lame lame)

I think she needs to shoot more and I think Graves needs to tighten the rotation.

 

[Vowelguy]

But yeah, clearly not quite on the same level as the top 3.

And yet they very nearly beat Stanford on Monday.

 

[Vowelguy]

Pretty amazing that UCLA had more off RBs than Ore had def RBs (18-16).

 

[nwhoopfan]

And yet they very nearly beat Stanford on Monday.

3 of the losses to the top 3 were close and 3 were blowouts. But 0-6 speaks for itself.

Even Washington St. has a win over Arizona and UCLA.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Just showed Oregon at #7 in the NET, ahead of Arizona and UCLA. HOW? They've played nobody OOC and are playing in the same conference as those other 2, and have lost to both twice. The NET formula is clearly faulty.

PAC 12 is overrated, they have played very few teams OOC, Stanford played 3 OOC games, Cal Poly, UNLV, and Pacific. Massey has them rated as Cal Poly #208, UNLV #138, and Pacific #116. I guess you could say that they did play a couple of teams that were higher rated than CAL, they are #202.

I would say womens basketball sucks across the board this year. I don't find anyone that impressive compared to previous years.

The conference just isn't good this year outside of the top 4 teams. No one else is projected to make the tournament. SEC and B1G appear to be the deepest conferences this year.

SEC is having a good year with six teams threatening to take top 4 seeds and two in contention for a 1 seed. Big Ten also has a lot of depth and they historically aren't very good.

I'm somewhat unconvinced about the SEC. They always have a bunch of ranked teams. Not sure how good some of them actually are.

What conference do you think is better?

SC/A&M/Tennessee/Arkansas are battle tested and have proven they can hang with and beat top tier teams, with SC/A&M as potential #1 seeds. Kentucky appears to be inconsistent but they're dangerous. They have wins over Tennessee/Indiana, and went toe to toe vs. South Carolina. Georgia I'm not as sold on but they've put together a nice season. Beyond that, none of the next tier (Alabama, LSU, Mississippi State and Ole Miss) are easy wins either even if they aren't ranked.

 

[Figurehead]

Pretty much spot on. The mental aspects of a team must drive coaches nuts/

 

[nwhoopfan]

Those teams did absolutely nothing in OOC, so they did not establish any bona fides against non SEC teams. LSU especially was awful in OOC. Not sure if the middle is really all that tough, to me it just calls into question how good the top really is.

Big 10 OOC slate is about as bad as the Pac 12, not sure why you aren't questioning them as well. Maryland beat Arkansas. That's about it. Iowa w/ half decent win over Iowa St.. Rest of the conference has nothing.
