Neither teams roster impressed me talent wise.. how many 5️️️️️ ‘cruits on Creighton and Iowa roster? Honest question.

None for Creighton, 1 for Iowa.

TO THE CONNECTICUT LURKERS/POSTERS:
Gotta tip my hat to the Big East in this tournament. The rest of the country is eating a big ol’ plate of crow right now.

Creighton, didn’t get the memo from VolNation experts. You need 5️️️️️s. Records don’t matter. Wins don’t matter.
If you aren’t winning their fictional ‘cruiting’ battles then your wasting your time!

Congrats to Creighton on a massive win!

I wanted to see a Boston-Clark matchup. I also wanted to see a big upset. I think Iowa’s the first top four seed in any bracket to lose at this juncture. What a game.

Pathetic. The fans never really embraced and connected to this team like they did with the men's team, which had some GREAT crowds and went undefeated at home...

A few things at work here across the nation. A high percentage of WCBB fans are older. They have lingering Covid concerns -- even more so when the tickets for these events went on sale and travel plans were made -- and they are feeling the pinch from inflation, gas prices, etc. A lot of younger fans are on Spring Break. Lots of competition with the Men's tournament, baseball, softball, etc. EVERY game, in full, is available on TV and lots of watch parties at participating schools. Also, many of the sites were not exactly tourist destinations. And the Regionals could be worse! (Have you ever been to Bridgeport? Or Wichita?)

MS stop it.Yes you can win a game against an higher seed opponent cause on any given day any team can lose but can you win it all without the 5 stars elite recruits that's the ?

South Carolina 10 Miami 7 after the first quarter.
Not very entertaining.

 

[TheMississippiVol]

LVs attendance was strong in their first round matchup. I don’t even get why that’s up for discussion. Tomorrow night should be even better!

I chuckle everytime the camera pans to SC banners and I see the #1 banner

 

[sisaq]

South Carolina this a real game

Wouldn’t be surprised if Maryland loses today. They’ve been unimpressive all year.

Miami player takes 3rd step.. gets called for traveling. Aaliyah Boston spins takes about 4 steps and goes to the free throw line .

Yeah, so much for UConn playing nothing but patsies. Now of course, there are not as many tough teams in the BE as there are in the SEC.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

I got Gulf Coast over UMD and UGA over ISU. Texas could have trouble with Utah too.

Miami player takes 3rd step.. gets called for traveling. Aaliyah Boston spins takes about 4 steps and goes to the free throw line .

She also had a drive to the baseline where she stepped out of bounds and actually dribbled it also out of bounds and no whistle by the ref standing right in front of her.

 

[TheMississippiVol]

South Carolina just scored 23 pts in the 1st half!

 

[TheMississippiVol]

South Carolina, UConn, Stanford… none of these teams are great.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

FGCU with a terrible end to the half. SN: did not know Kierstan Bell was at FGCU.

We saw Arizona Come pretty close a year ago and Mississippi State almost get there a couple years back twice without 5 stars. The gap is closing quickly.

 

[River67]

I would expect the Lady Vols to have better attendance on Monday. Saturday you had Men’s basketball, baseball, and softball all also playing. Plus the students should be back from spring break.

They’re offering free tickets to students Monday night

Sorry in advance to all the chicken worshipers out there but I don't see USC winning the championship. They are offensively challenged and sometimes struggle to finish against good teams. They didn't score much over 20 points in the 1st half today against an average team. Yeah, they have a good defense but their offense is Holly 2.0.
