Not gonna lie.... Iowa losing is worth shooting in my veins
It will be less funny on selection day in March when the loss to Iowa counts as a "bad" loss rather than a Quad 1 "good" loss.
I've already accepted that we're increasingly likely to miss the tourney so I might as well enjoy Iowa missing it too. UNI is a far more damaging loss anyway.
This is where I'm at. I hope ISU gets hot and somehow makes the tournament. But it's not looking good. If I can't enjoy watching ISU win, I'll enjoy watching iowa lose.
Baylor looked like they might be another 40 point victim of a #1 team after falling down 17-2 in the first five minutes but they got back into the game. Rough game, in another ref review right now. UCLA 39-31 in the 3rd. Bruins Betts is giving Bears fits with rebs and blocks, has scored 11 pts.
I'm just thankful they can stop pretending to care. That had to have been exhausting.
Every time Baylor got the game to 5 points UCLA responded and final was 72-57 Final 15 point margin was the same margin that UCLA took in the first five minutes, the next 35 minutes were dead even. Betts with 24 pts and missed a triple double by one rebound and one block. Crazy number of blocks. She was way the difference in the game.
Baylor, if they play like this, will be a handful for us unless they get in foul trouble.
To many times a touch sends a player falling to the floor as if they were ran over by a truck.Man, this review stuff.
Texas player just got sandwiched between two Maryland players. Sellers for Maryland goes down after she just sort of fall over after sandwiching the Texas player like she was the ham in a sandwich. Play is stopped with Texas now in their offense on the other end of the court. Sellers lays on the ground like she had been stabbed. Review. Nothing. And of course Sellers is just fine all of a sudden. I mean they got it right but there was really nothing to review less the acting.
All the teams do. Any incidental contact is played up hoping for ref intervention.
Texas is just handing Maryland a good old fashioned butt whooping. What a surprise...seriously. Currently 63-28.
Still pouring it on in the 4th, not letting up. Pretty impressive, now 84-47.
Gotta take some of the sting out of the South Carolina game for the Texas players.
Last year I noticed far more reviewing than I had ever seen. It has escalated even more this year. The refs are under more and more pressure to "get it right". Coaches have plenty of assistants now who often have little to do so they are flooding the office with taped reviews every time there are numerous egregious mistakes made in games. Which is at least every 3 games. The cameras don't lie and their mistakes are easily identified.Man, this review stuff.

In the UCLA game today there was one review that took almost 7 minutes. After reviewing over and over they went out on the court for a 2 minutes discussion, simply to announce that no violations were committed and game was continued. So unless this is brought under control you can count on seeing more and more of the refs and less and less of the players.

Minor complaint that watching this game reminded me of: teams constantly yelling "D-UP! D-UP!" for like the whole game.
