    Shaka is gone, the women are in the Elite 8, baseball just beat OU, OUR PETS HEADS ARE STAYING ATTACHED!!!

  • There is NO WAY Aston would have even gotten this team to to the NIT. ย Vic has this team in the EE.ย  COACHING FUCKING MATTERS

Down 20-12 after 1. Texas shooting a sizzling 29%. Really helpful when the projected #1 pick gets 2 fouls in 2.5 min.ย 

ย 

Celeste with 2 threes and Joanne with a three and Texas inches closer, down 24-22

I thought menโ€™s basketball refs were bad...holy shitย these fucks are bad.

Oh yeah. WBB reffing is shit. Big girls get called for fouls just for being tall.ย 

Texas down 37-30 at half. We really let it slip away. Was 31-28 and we just blew the last 2 minutes.ย 

Iโ€™m intrigued by this team without Charli. They focus so hard on getting her the ball they pass up open shots. When she sits, they shoot.ย 

Of course Collier picks up a 4th foul with 20 seconds left in the 3rd.ย 

52-40 Baylor to the 4th.

Another lesson in futility against Mulkey. ย Vic better be hitting the portal for some guards who can score to go along with the 3 All-Americans coming inย

Deficit down to 5 with 3:09 leftย 

Texas loses 66-55 and awaits NCAA fate. Likely a 7 seed.ย

7 seed would be nice. We would have a chance to make the round of 32

Thatโ€™s what we are in Cremeโ€™s bracketology. Would face Louisville in round 2ย 

A seed higher than I thoughtย 

ย 

UCLA is the 3 seed weโ€™d face in round 2. 5 losses - Arizona, Stanford twice, Oregon State and Washington State. No one has Charlieโ€™s height on that rosterย ย 

The first 2 games are very winnable. Maryland would cream us in the Sweet 16 but if Vic gets there, Iโ€™d be very impressedย 

Honestly we couldn't have asked for a better draw. A mid-major first round matchup thats not a Dakota school, and a UCLA team that we have a height advantage against. If Charli can stay out of foul trouble against UCLAย we have a decentย shot at a Sweet 16 run

Charlie Creme may have been insistent we were a 7 seed, but Vic said after the Baylor semifinal game that this team is a 6 seed and he was right.ย 

And his former squad, with all the talent he amassed and left at MSU, didn't make the tournament and is not even a first four replacement team if someone gets knocked out by COVID before the tournament starts.

Coaching matters so much.ย  We were a projected 9 seed last year with Charli, Joyner, Sutton, Celeste Taylorย and Higgs, coached by Aston.ย  We lost 3 senior startersย and improved our team to aย 6 seed this year, coached by Vic.ย ย 

Doing a little more digging into the UCLA roster:

  • 6'3 SO Forward Masikewich
  • 6'4 FR Forward Bessoir
  • 6'4 Fr Forward Anstey

That is the extent of their height.ย 

  • Maikewich hasn't played at all.
  • Bessoir has played in 20 games (2 starts), 20.3 mpg, 40.1% shooter, 31.3% 3 point shooter, 49% FT shooter, 7.5 ppg, 5 rpg, 13 blocks
  • Anstey hasn't played at all.ย 

Looks like Close usually starts Michaela Onyenwere (SR. 6'0 guard), Charisma Osborne (SO 5'9 guard), Natalie Chou* (R-SR. 6'1 guard), Lauryn Miller (SR 6'1 forward) and Lindsay Corsaro (R-JR. 6'1 guard)

So they are going to likely try to counter Charli Collier with Lauryn Miller, who is giving up 4 inches of height) and Bessoir, who is a freshman.ย  If we get to UCLA, Vic should start Collier/Ebo because I don't think they can be guarded by UCLA's interior players. At all. \

Teams are similar, offensively - UCLA shoots 40.2% overall and 35.6% from three and 72.8% FT.ย  Average 71.95 ppg. Win the rebound game 39.6-33.9. 56 blocks.ย  Texas shoots 40.6% overall and 32.1% from three and 69.9% FT.ย  Average 69.9 ppg.ย  Win the rebound game 37.7 - 34.8.ย  92 blocks.

It's going to come down to Texas not trying to get into a 3 point shooting contest with UCLA (it would be ugly regardless) and feed Ebo and Collier and have them get offensive boards against the smaller and less experienced UCLA frontline.ย 

Obviously I'm not that worried about 17-11 Bradley, who only made it because top-seeded Missouri St. opted out of the conf tourney.ย  The only ranked team they've played all season is Missouri State twice and they lost 56-62 and 62-75.ย  They played no P5 teams.ย 

They will struggle with Texas' talent and size.ย  ย Their biggest player (6'4 C) only playsย 5.3 mpg.ย  Otherwise, their front court is usually a 6'0 F and a 5'11 Fย (25.7 and 20 mpg).

I actually, as much as I criticize her, expect Collier to dominate the first 2 rounds.ย  She actually has 2 inches on the tallest frontcourt players for Maryland too - but they'll shoot us out of the gym.ย  They shoot 48.9%, 40.8% from three and 79.3% FT.ย  They average 91 ppg.ย 

We will likely see Katie Benzan (50% 3PT shooter) who committed to transfer in from Harvard to play for Karen and then backed out and Chloe Bibby, who played for Vic.ย

God damnit we gave her a win over her last game against Texas!ย 

Also no clue who they will hire.ย 

They can stay in house and go with Assistant Coach Colton Coale (yay nepotism!) or former Missouri State assistant coach Jackie Stiles, they can stay in the family and in house with Courtney Paris, they can be dicks and try to steal current Texas Associate Head Coach Dionnah Jackson-Durrett, who played at OU from 2001-2005.ย 

Holy shit 14 years between All-Americans.

Fuck you Gail, fuck you Karen.ย 

Not a single upset by a lower seed on the first day. SFA got closest but GT came back and won in OT.ย 

Womens tournament is routinely chalkier than the menโ€™s tournament. It still baffles me that a #16 over a #1 happened on the womenโ€™s side before the menโ€™sย

Itโ€™s true but not even a 9 over 8 or 10 over 7 which are historically easy picks bc those teams are evenlyย matched. ย (Yet)ย 

Hopefully no 11 over 6 happens today IYKWIM.ย 

We have upsets! 11 BYU over 6 Rutgers 69-66.ย

This would be a terrible loss for Arkansas, but it's Arkansas so...

Lol another upset!ย 

Third upset. Belmont (12) over Gonzaga (5)

So a 12-5, 14-3 and 11-6 upset today so farย 

Arkansas beat Baylor earlier this season so that was a very surprising loss. Hopefully the rest of today is chalk, for our sake

We're playing with a lot of intensity today and knocking down some shots. Been a while since we've played this well as a team

Good job Vic doing your job so far. Unlike Shakaย 

Collier limped back to the locker room.ย  ย I hope she is alright.ย 

Collier is showing more toughness in the paint than I have seen from her in a long time. Every game could be her last game for UT and she's playing like it so far
