Thanks for starting the game thread, @triaddukefan ! I came down with some awful stomach bug last night, which has had me catching up on sleep all morning

College Station BBQ?

Tennessee rally, 7-2 run to start Q2.

You can catch up rest after the beginning of April. It's only a couple weeks and it only happens once a year.

Everything good for Tennessee is in transition or just instinctual athletic plays like o-board putbacks. UCLA is doing a bad job of picking up Tennessee players in transition this quarter.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tennessee has more O boards than UCLA does now. I'm not liking the direction this game is going. Onyenwere has been quiet after a pair of early buckets. She needs to get involved.

They're getting plenty of trips to the charity stripe too.

Kai Crutchfield has been huge for NC State so far today. Three THREEs...one of which she was fouled. 10 points...including 7 on just two plays. Kai has struggled at times this year with confidence but she's clearly in the zone today.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Um...if you tap the ball out fighting for an offensive rebound and it crosses half court, how is that not an over and back violation? Worked out in UCLA's favor.

BBQ trash talk from someone who lives in CT? lol.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA is still up 13 but Dean is only 2-13 from the floor. Both teams have foul trouble piling up, Burke for UCLA just picked up her 3rd.

No possession

 

[nwhoopfan]

44-32 UCLA at the half. Dean is trying to shoot them out of the game but Tennessee's 9 turnovers is helping maintain the lead.

Sloppy last few mins by both UCLA and tenn

 

[Geew1992]

I know it’s like beating a dead horse but why do these girls keep going to Tennessee??

 

[wbball novice]

UCLA trading baskets with Tenn in 2Q? UCLA doesn't look as disruptive as it did with Oregon, forcing Sabrina to take crazy shots (maybe she does this anyway at times, but still). Maybe it's a weak showing from Japrice Dean who looked particularly fierce in that game.

Many ask, few (if any) have an answer.

Seems to me that the refs have had an impact on the first half...sounded to me like both teams have a few players with 2 or 3 fouls during the first half. Was kinda hard to keep track with all the whistles being blown.

 

[eebmg]

Westbrook got into foul trouble early and has not had a positive impact when she is on the court. Without a strong game from her, there is little chance of a comeback

Seemed like everybody from Tennessee got 2 fouls in the first quarter, but UCLA is catching up. Burke and Miller both have 3 fouls.

 

[HuskyNan]

Nan - have you been watching? Have you seen Brittany Davis at all? Committed to Mississippi State, but never made it to campus.

Off and on. I’ve been doing laundry and other chores

 

[LETTERL]

Maine crept to within 12 points of NC State but the Wolfpack Women have a 51-37 lead at the end of the 3rd quarter. NC State now has three players in double figures.

Wow, it took 25 seconds into quarter #3 before a foul call

 

[LETTERL]

Central Michigan has pulled ahead of Michigan State. A thriller.
