In Big South Action My Aggies of NC A&T continued their winning streak and dehumped the 1st place Camels of Campbell 76-61. The score was tied up 49 all headed into the final quarter. The Aggies turned up the defensive pressure and ran away with the game.

I thought they got dehumped over the weekend. It grew back already?

Apparently it was a Camel with 2 humps.

 

[SARG 2011]

Fast paced, high scoring game on 43-40 Iowa over OSU in the second quarter

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dromedary camels have 1 hump, Bactrian camels have 2.

 

[SARG 2011]

OSU wins 92-88

 

[nwhoopfan]

How did the refs miss that kicked ball that led to a layup for Ohio St.? It was so obvious the tOSU player didn't even pursue the loose ball at first. You cannot miss stuff like that. I know refs can't be perfect, but the standards are just so low.

 

[SARG 2011]

Clark arguing with her coaches, finger pointing and all. Not a good look

 

[jchusky]

another big game, another game Bluder gets outcoached, maybe instead of blaming the refs she should do a better job at getting her team ready. Ohio st looks like they don't miss Dorka, look real solid.

 

[nwhoopfan]

My mistake, I don't think the kick led to a layup, I think it was a foul on Clark, on what looked like a tie up to me. Clark was getting mauled continuously with no calls. She has good reason to pissed off after this game. The Hawkeyes got the opposite of homered.

I think Clark and the coaches were unified being pissed at the ref's.

 

[SARG 2011]

Upset at the outcome but not walking up on her coach wagging and pointing her finger...nope

 

[Orangutan]

How Clark did not get a tech at the end of the game, I have no clue. Refs gave her miles of leash.

 

[mbr33ct]

Just looked at box score of Ohio State vs Iowa game, maybe it's me but when Clark takes 50% (16-28) of the team shots (56), I'll include Czinano's 23% that's a whopping 73%. Are the rest of team only there to support Clark and Czinano?

When Czinano is 11-13, not a problem. Shoot more.

Saw the last few minutes and Clark tried too hard to do it all on her own. Some really hard shots and steals as she tried to break double teams off the dribble.

That's the way I've felt watching them.

Two-woman show and the rest are there to make up the numbers.

I've had similar thoughts to all of you, and I think it's detrimental to the team's success. I think about D and Stewie. They could have scored and had numbers similar to Clark but the risk there is that shutting down the star significantly hurts the team because the others aren't prepared. If those other players are never put in those situations, it's hard to expect them to deliver. In no way am I diminishing Clark's talent, they are clearly better with her, but I think the way she's used in games hurts the overall team.

I have to watch the game again, but I got the impression from the commentators last night that the Iowa coaching staff provide Clark some latitude with respect to how the offense is run. Wish I could remember it exactly, but the phrase "manufacture offense" sticks out. I took it as they let her do her thing and see what happens.

I am not sureshe has more or less. All great PG's generally have alot of freedom. I do recall one play after she made a 3pt shot in the flow of the offense, next time she got the ball, she shot it so fast from such a poor position (the kiddies call it Heatcheck), Bluder let her have it when she got back to the huddle.

I can't believe that @Plebe left off the important showdown in the Big South that will take place here in Greensboro on Wednesday.

Typically, a game between two teams from the bottom quartile of Division I have a hard time making the cut.

And besides, why steal your thunder?

 

[triaddukefan]

Lawd hamercy.... I wonder if Duke will accept a bid to the WNIT.... is the WBI still around?

Well it is a throw out the record book game.... (kinda)

 

[nwhoopfan]

I can't help it...no nights off in the ACC.

Maybe Kara can cancel the rest of the season, for the health and safety of her team? Too soon?
