Week 17 preview (Feb. 28–Mar. 6)

Rather than showing the ACC women's tournament, the ACC Network is showing a Duke men's NCAA game from 2001.

Ironically, not able to watch Duke women possibly upsetting Miami (up 1 at end of Q3).

But just found it on a different sports channel!

Well I think Colorado removed all doubt about making the field. Arizona on the other hand might've cost themselves a top 4 seed.

Arizona really took the conference solidarity thing too far, wanting to make sure Colorado made the tournament

Arizona will still be a 4 seed. They'll take Reese's injury into account if she's expected back.

More enjoyable than this game

If they're going to show a Duke title game, why not the one from 1999?

I know @cancontent will appreciate this.. Went out on the concourse to stretch my legs, and a woman wearing a light blue shirt asked me if it's time for me to go home

Do we need to fundraise your bail money?

Nah... It was done in a joking manner.. Both of us were smiling. Not much I could say back, considering how both of our seasons turned out.

That was a tough ending for sure. Will be interesting to see what the team will be like in 2022-2023. Some interesting players coming in.

You talk as if their season is over. At a minimum Duke is WNIT-bound. But also still on the NCAA bubble.

What sandwich/donut/alcoholic beverage will be needed to make you feel a little better?

 

[triaddukefan]

Cubaj is down for GA Tech.. Cleaning blood off the court

Can't see us accepting a WNIT bid at this point.

What happened?

 

[triaddukefan]

@cancontent did Morra play last night? She isnt on the bench tonight. Jewel Spears isn't on the bench after she started the game. One of the drawbacks of attending in person. No idea what is going on

 

[triaddukefan]

What happened?

She fell down face first on the court. Looked like she might have bit through her lower lip. They had a towel around her chin as they led her to the locker room.

Jewel is back on the bench. Looks a bit queasy

Ain't finna pay 12 bucks for a drink here at the arena.. Krispy Kreme closes at 10pm.. So it looks like either Jimmy John's or Wendy's later.

Why?
Played 60 games in 3 years. More time together would seem helpful?

Shelley went off for Nebraska. 9 3's, 32 points. Tied a record held by Mazzante for made 3's. I don't know if that's just conference tourney or all Big 10 games.

I know it's a different setting, different team, etc., but this year she has been so much better than the Oregon guards who got her minutes and caused her to leave (Parrish and Scherr).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon holds off UCLA. Tranfers Penn and Thomas did almost all the scoring for the Bruins.

One more game to go for Pac 12 on day 2. Is Washington St. really a favorite against Utah? Seems more like a pick 'em game.

Georgia, one of the more disappointing teams of the year, loses to Alabama!

1 SC- 8 Ark/ 4 MIss - 5 Fla
2 LSU - 7 Ky / 3 TN - 11 Ala

I would say an easy road for TN to make the semis, but Bama has played them well the last few years.

I was about to comment on GA! Joni Taylor did a great job with the team last year and I expected better from them.

Bama has played TN well, however this will be their third game in 3 days. Fatigue might be the decider.

I’m sure SC is glad they don’t have to face Mizzou again

I tell ya, Kentucky is really on a roll. Just won their 7th in a row. Right before that they had lost 4 in a row, including losses to Vanderbilt and A&M. At that point they were 2-8 in the SEC and 9-11 overall. I was certain they were missing the NCAA Tournament. But they really found their mojo. LSU without Morris might have their hands full with them tomorrow.

 

[triaddukefan]

What a difference several weeks make. About 7-8 weeks ago, I expected to walk into the ACC Tournament on a Duke Gameday like this
