Did Adam Amin day that Sierra Calhoun quit the team before the ncaas started??
If she quit the team she actually did Rutgers a favor. Sierra was shooting 21% for the season. That is not 21% from deep that 21% overall on 127 shot attempts. UGLY! Her next career move must be to throw a pebble in the ocean from the beach.Sierra Calhoun, who averaged 4.0 points in 24 games after arriving as a grad-transfer from Big Ten-rival Ohio State, left the team earlier this week, according to Eatman, who said in a school-released statement: “Sierra informed our staff that she has decided to leave the team in order to prepare for the next chapter in her life.’’
Anyone know what's Karen contract status? Is her job secure, that an awful lot of talent coming through Texas without even an Elite 8 appearance. Even Holly has three elite 8 appearances. @southie you out there?Just a bad season for Texas, loss today breaks a string of 4 consecutive Sweet 16 runs (includes one Elite 8 in 2016).
But this is significant for Indiana. They reached the 2nd round in 2016 (lost to ND) but were in the WNIT the past two years (winning it last year). This was expected to be a rebuild year after losing Buss and Cahill, but the addition of Wise and Patberg made all the difference.
Obama called it!And the first upset of the tourney goes to .... #10 Indiana over #7 Texas 69-65
But then he has Indiana going on to beat Oregon in round 2, and that I can't buy.
UCF, the second best team in the AAC, losing big to a fourth or fifth best team in the Pac 12, is one of the reasons the NCAA Committee was hesitant to seed UConn as highly as some think they should. The other teams in the AAC have got to start upgrading their talent or this may continue to happen.Arizona State dominated UCF and won 60-45. UCF started the game cold and pretty much stayed cold throughout. At one point in the 2nd half, UCF managed to cut the lead from 20 to 12 but then squandered opportunities, including a wide-open missed layup by Wright.
Ekmark had 20 points for ASU. One of the best games I've seen her play, actually.
Aston is a great recruiter, but terrible in-game coach and developer. Charli Collier is going to leave that program probably the same player she came in as, and will probably not even be a first round draft pick. Atkins had a great rookie season, but that just showed that Aston wasn't using her to the best of her ability. Holmes is a shell of herself. When are elite players going to stop looking at Texas and Tennessee as legitimate options when they have terrible track records of underachieving and not developing players?
I bag on Aston any chance I see fit, and this definitely is a good moment to. I had Indiana winning this game in all of my brackets I made.
Just got around to watching the postgame interviews from the Wright State and A&M game. Wright State’s Senior G Emily Vogelpohl broke her wrist in practice last week and still played 22 minutes with a brace. When asked about it, Coach Merriweather said that she had played several games as a freshman with a fractured knee, so there wasn’t any doubt Vogelpohl would play after the doctors said she couldn’t damage it further.
I’m impressed!
I saw it embedded here:is that interview anywhere on the web?
I saw it embedded here:
Carter shines in return as Aggies rout Wright State, 84-61, to advance
It does make me wonder if the NCAA posts these anywhere or if they're somewhere on Watch ESPN.
One of the highlights of the day was Ionescu taking a "pass" late in the fourth quarter while sitting on the bench and then (apparently without thinking) launching a three. It missed and she got a technical.
WHAT????
