Plus if that is your best screener, Gino has slipped tremendously. You had your big making a screen against one of Iowa’s smallest players. You made it too easy for the ref. I believe Bluder was smart in having Marshall guard who she did. In the third quarter, UCONN ran a play where they had two passes inside for an easy layup. I told my wife, that’s what i would do a couple of times in the fourth quarter if it got tight. They never ran that play again. Another thing Bluder did that changed the game was put Clark in the off guard position to start the third quarter, made it easier for her to get open for a couple of threes.
The fun is watching them lose. My favorite Iowa FB game ever was Iowa Stanford at the Rose Bowl. Hell their thin skinned fans got all bent out of shape by the Stanford band and everyone knows they are into poking fun at their opponents. Go Gamecocks!!
My favorite was watching Frankie Leaks‘ touchdown catch and then, as a student, watch Bump Elliott try to kick Lou McCollough out of the press box. It was priceless.
I was losing it last night over those lame passes and lazy closeouts. I don't care if it's Iowa or Kansas, that crap just bugs the **** out of me.
I think it is a given that the sports media will want Clark to win it, so SC will need to have a 15 point lead at least to end up squeaking a win at the end.
When I first saw it in live action I thought it was a pretty sketch call, then when I saw the replay it was clearly an illegal pick.
Saw a replay from someone's phone in the crowd on the opposite side from the camera, made it even more clear how bad of a screen it was. The elbow, the late slide into position, the feet seven feet apart, it was just bad in every possible way.
When you only need two points for the win why do you put the ball into the hands of a player that gives you a 35 or 40% chance and the player whose 15 foot turnarounds gives you a 65% chance is out 25 feet away from the basket doing screens?
It may be “ever” at that time. Really should be saying, yet” from a grammatically correct perspective.
The "on espn" is a huge asterisk. They're trying to wrap in men's here (which is odd, the numbers are still great otherwise), but the highest rated mens games of any given year are almost all tournament games, which ESPN doesn't have.
But yes, espn has gotten what they wanted here. Kept their stars in through multiple games with questionable officiating to protect those stars.
The interesting thing to me is it’s a non SEC matchup. And the ACC-SEC matchup was half that number.
I had someone try to argue with me it was the most watched basketball game of all time men or women, using that tweet as evidence, clearly without looking at the photo. It didn’t take them long to start feeling dumb.
Thanks for your professional opinion vs. those that actually know the game.
When did this become a thing? People say this all the time now instead of "biased." Is it like a meme or something?
