Week 12 - Jan 22 to 28

[LwrcasefaN]

UCLA in another battle. Something is permeating the league. It's called...injuries.

And I remember not so long ago, we were all complaining that there weren't enough games available for us to watch!

Was saying something similar to another friend a moment ago. The parity across all of these conferences has been insanely entertaining!

The 2023 - 2024 NCAAW is drunk and I'm here for all of it!

Speaking of curb stomping...and coaches who maybe should hang it up: Indiana beat Northwestern 100-59.

Last I recall, McKweon(sic?) was out due to illness. Don't recall hearing any updates on his situation.

I saw something about Leger-Walker having to leave the game. Looks like UCLA was rallying but the Cougs might hold on.

 

[Centerstream]

Georgia Tech just "intentionally" fouled a Florida State player that grabbed a defensive rebound with 1.5 seconds left in the 76-67 game. Yes, FSU was leading.

What an amazing WBB season!! No team is really safe this season.

How do you explain her getting benched against Utah and the Bruins were better when she wasn't on the floor?

Wasn't it reported that Betts has an undisclosed medical issue?

Wasn't it reported that Betts has an undisclosed medical issue?

I don't remember hearing that, but apparently there were a number of players injured recently that I missed disclosures about.

Anybody tuning in for the Clemson-Wake Forest cellar dweller battle?

#2 UCLA losing to an unranked Washington St suddenly makes me feel a lot better.

Anybody tuning in for the Clemson-Wake Forest cellar dweller battle?

Are you doing penance for some really bad sins?

Are you doing penance for some really bad sins?

I'm not watching it! Just curious if anyone else was. I'll watch some ACC action, but not that one.

 

[CompSci87]

I mean, could there be anything that screams ACC more than the conference leader losing to a team that just lost to Pitt 3 days ago?

I'm looking to see a clear leader in the ACC next season.

Louisville and NC State no trouble getting past Pitt and Boston College.

Looks like Duke rallied late but not enough, lost to Miami. They just can't seem to get on any kind of streak. 1 or 2 good games, then they lose again.

Lets keep this between you and me.... but you need to pay better attention to my predictions... at least for Duke.

"UCLA: Lauren Betts missed her second straight game due to a non-disclosed medical issue, and her presence in the paint was needed as the Cougars dominated inside."

I knew she missed the games this weekend. I thought a previous post was indicating she was injured in the Utah game, that I was not aware of.

I saw you accurately called this one.

 

[triaddukefan]

I saw you accurately called this one.

Back home a few weeks ago... I made prediction for how the rest of the season goes for Duke... I'm 5-0 so far
