Sunday (3/24) games: NCAA 2nd round

You think Miss State is better than ND and Louisville?

Yep.

Oregon may survive this game, but I'm very concerned about their prospects for the rest of the tournament if they don't get Taylor Chavez back from injury.

Oregon hasn't looked anywhere near the same team that blew out Stanford in early February, which just also happens to be the last full game that Chavez played in.

Without her, their backcourt has absolutely no depth. When Yaeger is your first guard off the bench, you're in trouble.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Yep.

I am a big Miss St fan and think they have a great team. I am not sure though they are on Notre Dames level though right now. Not saying ND would beat them down but I think ND is definitely the better team right now. ND has been steam rolling everyone this back part of the year.

But hey that is why we play the games....

They still have Cazorla that can get crazy hot from outside. That is handful when Sabrina gets going also.

Cazorla isn't a bench player.

 

[Vowelguy]

Yep.

Maybe someday they'll play a top 10 team and we'll get to see.

Oh wait, they did play a top 10 team, in one game ... and they lost.

Yeah but all their fans on this board let us know that didn't count because they didn't play very well and Oregon just got lucky.

Do you think this year’s MSU team is better than last year’s? I don’t.

I honestly don't know right now. I want to see us play in the Elite 8 if we make it that far. We have better athletes this year, but last year's team had better chemistry and a true alpha in Vivians who was willing to put the team on her back.

This year's team is not tested. Best win was at South Carolina. Probably not really a 1 seed. I think this team could be better than last year's team if they had played together longer, but Vic kind of cut and pasted them together with some transfers.

So I guess I'm in wait and see mode. I'm usually pretty harsh on our teams, but this team has shown me some fight recently that I didn't think they were capable of at the beginning of the year. They've looked a lot better lately, but that could be fool's gold with the teams they've played.

Oh yeah, for a second there I almost forgot about the hundreds of posts in that refrain, most of which were longer than your average college essay

This board didn’t exist at that time!

 

[SECbbfan24]

Can we group the crazy AEH supporters and the MSU haters in a single thread and leave the general game day threads to actual basketball?

 

[Zanzman]

This board didn’t exist at that time!

You are obviously a fan but not a graduate of msu

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dang, Indiana player who is from Portland and has a bunch of friends and family at the game just limped off the court. Hate to see that.

edit--Yeaney

People have been falling off Sabrina's bandwagon recently. Today she's reminding everybody that she's pretty good.

She'll be fine. Just in a little slump maybe. As an aside, she's good friends with Blair Schaefer.

 

[MSUFan2003]

Miss St losing Bibby IMO dramatically impacts them as they hit the elite 8 stage and further. I still think the path State has they are more than capable of making that final four.

It will get real if we make it to the Elite 8. Gonna be interesting. We will either get exposed or prove we deserved the 1 seed.

 

[DaBball]

Clemson is very bad. Whole team is a turnover waiting to happen.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Amanda Butler wasn't very good at Florida but Florida has been really really bad since she has left

Curious how Clemson will be next year

Not going to get into personal attacks with you. Our family will have the fourth generation starting at State this fall. 70 plus years of support.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Looks like Oregon is pulling away

Sabrina with a double double, 24 points

 

[Plebe]

Oregon men and women both playing at the same time, both doing well for now.

 

[TheFarmFan]

Loved the subtle slam by LaChina about Bill Walton in the Oregon women's game. Man he's insufferable to listen to.

 

[Zanzman]

Funny I love Walton going games

Yeah I know he's a love-him-or-hate-him kinda guy, but I'm a fan as well.

Shoot, I missed that. I have the game on but not listening very closely.
