B12 with a chance to go 7-0 in the first round. That seems pretty good.

Not trying to be a smartass but is that one lower seed winning or one betting underdog winning?
West Virginia makes it a clean sweep.
7-0 first round for the Big 12.
Signee schools are 1-1 so far (CU win, AZ loss) with Utah playing later tonight.

WVU is going to have to clean up their free throw shooting for Monday's game against the hoks. They were 18-36 from the line today. That's SO bad. What was a ten point win should have been an absolute blowout. They'll have a decent chance tomorrow if they play D out of their minds in the 2nd round. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see Iowa go down at home in front of a sold out CHA. Will it happen? Probably not. Is there a chance? Absolutely.
36 free throw attempts Holy ****. They won't get that many against Iowa.
Didn't watch the game but saw Hannah Stuelke only played 10 minutes because of migraines.
WVU's defense:
#3 nationally (#1 among P5) in TO forced per game (almost 24)
#2 nationally (#1 among P5) in steals per game (almost 14)
#1 nationally in TO margin (+8.8)
Looked at box score 16 of those 36 ft attempts came in last 2 minutes of game where Princeton had to foul.
Iowa hasn’t seen defense like WVU can throw at them. If Clark’s supporting cast don’t step up Iowa loses.
Murph said Iowa had no competition these first 2 rounds. Shows how little wbb knowledge he has because if the right WV shows up they can be a problem.
If WVU brings their A-game they can pull the upset. I don’t see it happening but they are a tricky team if playing their best.
Wild first half out west.
Utah led South Dakota State 20-3 after one quarter.
It's 27-24 at halftime. Jacks closed on a 17-0 run.

If 16-seed Holy Cross is making her act this insane then I can't wait to see the conniptions WVU will cause Monday night.
A ref was removed at halftime from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga game versus NC State.
According to a pool reporter statement: “There was a switch of game officials at halftime of the Chattanooga-NC State first-round game because it was learned after the game had started that Umpire 2 Tommi Paris had a background conflict that, if known, would prevent her from working that assigned game. - CNN
Seems like that is something she should have said something about.

West Virginia is going to get in her head. Their defense is too good for it to not have some impact Monday night. I don't anticipate a win, but I think WVU is going to play with a chip on their shoulder and want to prove something. That should make things interesting.
