Big 12 WBB...not good

If TCU doesn't come back in the 2nd Half and if Kentucky beats West Virginia tomorrow then great shot Big 12 is completely out before the Sweet 16.
 
Halfway to a full-chalk Sweet 16.

I'm sure somehow someway Iowa will pull this out but as of now Virginia up 28-23 at the Half.

Hard to say… getting to the second half without Ava getting a third foul or Hannah her second is a pretty big deal. They certainly aren’t playing particularly well. 1 of 13 from three-point range two days ago and 1 of 12 so far today. You wouldn’t think they’d go 4 straight halves shooting that badly but you never know. The good news is their defense is still salty and it’s hard for Virginia to score….

I’m aware your hope is that they lose, I’m just echoing it is certainly possible. There are a couple things that you would think by the law of averages would certainly have to turn around eventually, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be today…. :p

Virginia had a 2-point game on Thursday, an OT game on Saturday, and now another OT game today.
 
Stuelke with the clear flop that almost cost her team big time if Virginia could score.
