So is Stanford number one with three losses or does Louisville that won big take the top spot?

If I knew that Georgia was playing without Staiti tonight I would not have picked them.

If we could make free throws we would be after tonight.

 

[lvocd]

hate it for SC???? how

A lose for them is a win for us.

Yeah, I was somewhat torn about it for that reason. But I've been pulling for Staley since her years at Temple, and I admire her willingness to be a voice for progress. So she has a soft spot in this progressive's heart.

That said, Mizzou EARNED that win with their determination and grit, and I can't be mad about that. Jeez. I can't feel anything but happiness for the Missouri players and their intensely loyal fans right now.

May WE soon feel that same thrill!!!!!!

Mizzou had a foul to give. So as soon as SC touched the ball, a foul would have ended the game, a win for Mizzou. SC did not have time to catch and shoot. A tip in was the only thing they could legally do. So, the foul strategy was smart thinking.

I don't think this is accurate.
With 0.1 seconds left, as soon as you touch the ball, the game is over. No need to foul and you have the risk of fouling before the offensive player touches the ball.
On the telecast, the announcers were saying that you couldn't score with 0.1 seconds left. Catch and shoot or tip in. SC's only chance was to draw a foul on the inbound pass (Before a Missouri player touches the ball).
PS. For the record, aren't you a uconn fan ?

Yeah that definitely should be taken into account in the new rankings. I don’t think this game plays out the same with her there.

So much truth!

Hope coach lets them know that. Anything can happen these days. 80% in that Stanford game and we’re #1 if we beat Arky.

I didn’t realize either. They still rebounded the ball well without her.

 

[Volfan2012]

The Trent Tucker Rule is a basketball rule that disallows any regular shot to be taken on the court if the ball is put into play with under 0.3 seconds left in game or shot clock.

Yes 0.3 to tip or shoot so they had no chance other than a foul.

Actually we make 8 of the 13 misses we probably win. That would be 72 points and they wouldn't get the free throws they got late when we started fouling.

 

[VolBall09]

Lots of man down games today. Glad to see the teams still getting after it. The product was still great in every game! Maybe even better than usual.

Yes!!!! This was a no-lose situation for Missouri at the end with .01 ticks if they fouled while going for the ball.

 

[Orange Maniac]

Should have been 0.3 on the clock. Chickens got screwed.

Dang that kid can play!

Funniest part is that a #1 ranking wouldn't change our resident critics' posts one bit. We could go undefeated all year and we'd still be hearing the same gripes about recruiting, free throws, blue hairs, Kellie at NC State, what have you.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

Lol

While the Missouri win was huge, another game under the radar that will help our seeding at NCAA time is that Vs Tech best #15 Duke by 22 points. They may be on their way to being the third rated team we beat without Burrell.

Mizzou was not in the bonus so a foul would not have given SC free throws. For the record, I am a WCBB fan.

Wiiiiilllllsssooonnnnn!!!!!!

 

[stlvolsfan]

Why is Blackwell out?

Health and safety protocol.

 

[stlvolsfan]

haven't been watching they are doing this without Blackwell?!?

Where is she ?

Health and safety protocol.

 

[stlvolsfan]

Robin always gets out coached in these close games. She cannot get over the hump on that. MIZZOU always melts down at crunch time.

Well, this didn’t age well . I thought they’d find a way to lose too.Guess we were both wrong.

 

[Volfan2012]

I was really surprised how terrible SC handled the dribble drive in this game.
