Official WBB NCAA tournament thread 2024

I was about to say that the Watkins Clark range 3 attempt was an awful shot during a scoring drought...until she swished it straight through.

I’d let her shoot all night. Not a great 3 point shootwr

 

[VolFuture]

JuJu Watkins now holds the record of having the most D1 points for a freshman.

ESPN going to crown her the new greatest player of all time any minute now.

As soon as Iowa loses

There was a big drunk guy walking around the stadium yelling about how Bluder is the greatest coach ever in WBB.

Big Drunk Guy gets around.

It would certainly be the mother of all storybook endings if Caitlin Clark and Iowa won the national championship, wouldn't it? My goodness.

As fairytale-y as that would be, I have a feeling CC won her last collegiate game tonight. I don't see there NOT being a huge letdown, energy-wise, after the effort it took to beat LSU tonight in their next game. Even if they're feeling good I still have some doubt they'd get by either Southern Cal or Connecticut. Looks like it is tied at the moment, but I suspect my gag-inducing pre-season prediction that CT will again reach the FF will come true, and I don't think the Hawkeyes will beat them.

And if Iowa found absolute magic and reached the final, it'll likely be against South Carolina, and I think they'll be ready to beat Iowa.

But in all honesty, I'm too depressed to care who wins. This is just an awful week for Tennessee fans.

I too have doubts about Iowa vs. UConn. Really unless they can get UConn in foul trouble.

Like just happened with KK Arnold. 3 fouls in the first half.

 

[UT Challenger]

And? You brought up a generality and I showed an exception. Unless that rule only applies to LSU.

You are a AR fan .I am not

 

[Amb3096]

You are a AR fan .I am not

Thanks. Why not just go right ahead and say you have a different set of rules for players you like and players you don't like instead of pretending to make an observation.

If USC is going to the Final Four JuJu is going to have to start asserting herself. Being too passive right now, especially with all the UConn guards in trouble.

Invert her to the block in some high low action with Marshall and post her up. None of the husky guards can defend her without fouling.

 

[Amb3096]

Watkins hits another Clark range triple over PB, who then responds by hitting a jumper while absolutely draped by USC.

Padilla has been hurting them with her inability to hit open 3s.

is he you're drinking buddy

 

[Amb3096]

I really like Forbes' game. Big, physical guard.

If USC can draw another foul on Muhl before the half, that would be huge for them as long as they keep the game close.

 

[VolBall09]

How is that not a moving screen by Samuels on that last Bueckers 3? It’s the same cheap dribble hand off crap Vandy runs. It’s an illegal screen and it is infuriating.

 

[Vols2015]

First time seeing Juju Watts for USC, and I’m very impressed.

 

[Amb3096]

That's what Juju needs to do every play. Go straight to score knowing that no one UConn guard can stop you without fouling, besides maybe Bueckers.

 

[VolFuture]

I can’t stand what JuJu gets away with. She wouldn’t in the SEC

 

[creekdipper]

He holds my .

Where’s the foul

 

[Amb3096]

Offensive foul on Edwards. Wow. So many UConn players in foul trouble. 3rd quarter will be interesting.

I be rest of the coaches
I would complain about refs like Jeno, Dawn, Kim
Do when they don't like the calls

She’s a stud but also a foul merchant. The Zach Edey of WBB

 

[Amb3096]

Where’s the foul

You mean the foul they called on Samuels while Watkins was driving, leading to 2 free throws for Juju?

Yes

 

[Amb3096]

IT WASNT

Well, yeah. I agree it wasn't. But like some others on this board, I have my biases. Wearing my blue-cancelling glasses rn. INTENTIONAL FOUL! EJECT HER FROM THE GAME!!!!!

 

[VolBall09]

8:54 without a FG attempt for Juju IS CRIMINAL. Chiney is on the money.

Loving this crew with Draya and Chiney, other gal has been doing a great job holding it down as well.

 

[Amb3096]

Yes

She pulled her arm during the drive. They showed it on the replay.
