2025 NCAA WBB Tournament non LV games and news

This is why whatever "fans" think/feel needs to be expressed during and after games should always, IMO, lean more toward trying to be compassionate and kind regardless of performance instead of "honestly" harsh and hurtful. These are kids with broken hearts, and when the chips are this far down that's when they need the MOST unconditional love and support, NOT "I'm just being honest" negative critiques. I mean, there was someone on the board yesterday who actually thought the best response to that epically gutsy game was to reduce it to saying Alabama had "choked."

Good grief.

Here's the real honest take:

The shoe is on the wrong foot here. People are awful, esp behind anonymous keyboards. So stop reading it! Turn off the comments, make DMs private if you must feed your social media addiction . If food upsets my stomach I don't eat it, if the bridge is out I don't drive over it. The players and other public people have to stop feeding these trolls by reading and responding. SocIal media is not mandatory, they can only hurt you if you invite them in. Unfortunately their behavior isn't going to change. Yours can.
 
I’m expecting a lower scoring game than most others, my gut feeling is a game in the high 60’s or low 70’s at most. Last time these two teams played Texas owned the boards and got off 10 more shots than UT as a result, which will need to be addressed. I really believe if UT can limit Jones and Oldacre on the glass they can win this game.

If UT hits their average of about ten 3’s and Texas hits their average of about three 3’s that is an Advantage for the LV’s obviously. Booker needs to be closely marked the entire game but she won’t beat UT by herself either way. Spearman/Hollingshead need to do some heavy work guarding the post/boards when in a half court defense. SC neutralized their bigs in the two wins by running a fast break offense nonstop. Sounds like UT’s preferred style tbh.

I am curious to see how UT’s press operates tomorrow against Texas. If the LV’s are hitting their shots at a decent clip the press will obviously have more chances to set up.

Hoping for a meteor more than Maryland winning...
I got it…..no worries. Enjoy the games the next few days, I know I will try to catch most or all of them. It’s a great time of the year.

Side note: I don’t believe OK can beat UConn, but it would be exciting if they could pull that off. Have not looked, but UConn must be a huge favorite, 15 or more points I would guess.

You don’t know me well if you thought I was annoyed (I know you were jesting). I enjoy the banter, always. It’s the time of the season when anything can and will happen, I take it all in stride and know it’s all good for the game.
