OR vs MD game thread

OR not having much issue with MD's pressure defense.

 

[mntncougar]

I'm beginning to believe!

 

[SCspur]

Kristen confroy is literally a non factor for Maryland

 

[GoUconn7961]

Ionescu is the real deal. What a great player!

 

[iri10]

From what I remember, Ionescu specifically said that she was looking to be at the center of her own team, instead of becoming a part of a top notch team. So she wouldn't have ever considered UConn.

Too bad; she's quite remarkable.

Farewell to Frese who has Frozen and Fried. This OU team is a real contender this year and in years to come. I guess this puts paid to those who suspected that the Pac 12 was overrated and whose rankings were inflated because they only played each other.

 

[DefenseBB]

That's the committee's fault placing teams in certain regions because they think they have a certain impact on "attendance". Quick question..... how come the same cities are always hosting regionals for women? Lexington, Bridgeport, and OKC are always hosting how come bigger cities like Cleveland, Atlanta, or Philly never get a chance to host ??

I believe it's who bids on hosting. NYC Madison Square Garden would be a great venue but they get more revenue with other events than women's basketball. Plus you need a school to acts as host. So for Bridgeport, Fairfield and UConn act as the host schools, setting up the venue, hotels, transportation etc.

 

[Zorro]

GO DUCKS!!!

 

[Gus Mahler]

Twice now the announcers have spoken as though UConn will be the opponent in the E8.

Of course, we know that will be the case, but still . . .

 

[psconn]

This is WAY not over yet.

I believe the subtext to SCspur's comment is really why can't the Carolina's host a regional? Why always Lexington? Those SC fans would fill the seats of any regional in that area yearly. If the NCAA is looking to build this sport how better?

I just haven't had time to follow every game by every team. Is Oregon really this good? It seems like Maryland, while playing poorly, could be within striking distance despite everything if it only had hit a couple of three-point shots. But they've played as if the game is over since about Eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.

 

[JordyG]

Can OU hold on through MD's last run?

 

[Vowelguy]

Uh oh

 

[uconnever]

Jones is the only Maryland player that looks like she doesn't wanna go home. Slocum hasn't done anything and looks confused.

 

[psconn]

Like I said...

 

[mntncougar]

ducks getting shaky

 

[TitleTown]

Oregon is playing not to lose right now instead of playing to win.

 

[psconn]

That was a huge and offensive call.

 

[uconnever]

Oh crap! Here comes that 4th quarter I talked about

 

[JellyBean]

Oregon is playing well. Great discipline with their offense. Patiently waiting and knocking down shots when needed.

 

[JordyG]

Yeah. Bad foul call on that screen. Still waiting for MD to make a 3.

 

[SCspur]

Maryland looks done

 

[psconn]

3 possession game... 90 sec left.

 

[JordyG]

Bye Bye appropriately seeded, overrated Frese.
