WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
Speaking of that big crowd, the clock keeps stopping because the refs' whistle mics are interpreting the crowd noise as a blown whistle.
Yeah, record crowd of 13,000. Rematch in two weeks in I.C. with a crowd that will probably be bigger than that especially since OSU will still be Top 5 in all probability.

Indiana prevails over the squawks! 87-78
Clark almost had another triple double. She was only 2 turnovers away . . .
Random thought over coffee:
No really good mid-majors like we've been accustomed to seeing. Our midwest teams like South Dakota State, South Dakota (free fell into NET 200+), Drake and UNI aren't anywhere near even "receiving votes". Some mids getting votes but not our regional gals.

NCAA had their first Top 16 reveal of hosting teams last night. No surprise that OU and ISU are out and the only Big 12 team in is Texas. Big Ten has five teams hosting, think that will end up being four since OSU has to play three ranked teams yet and they are #16 as sort of gift.
Seattle bracket looks really tough.
From ESPN:
The regional assignments are:
• Greenville Regional 1: 1. South Carolina, 2. Duke, 3. Maryland, 4. Ohio State
• Greenville Regional 2: 1. Indiana, 2. Utah, 3. Notre Dame, 4. Villanova
• Seattle Regional 1: 1.Stanford, 2. Iowa, 3. Texas, 4. North Carolina
• Seattle Regional 2: 1. UConn, 2. LSU, 3. Michigan, 4. Virginia Tech

I won't be surprised if Baylor doesn't go into a late season tailspin. They seem to have maxed their potential for all they have and it seems that 3 - 4 of their wins this year have simply been a matter of their opponent having their worst game of the season against them.
Maddy Siegrist of Villanova scored 50 points today while shooting 20-26 from the field in a win over Seton Hall.

That's amazing! I remember being so mad years ago when Lindsay Wilson scored close to 50 points against Colorado and ISU still lost.Maddy Siegrist of Villanova scored 50 points today while shooting 20-26 from the field in a win over Seton Hall.

Since this is about other women's basketball issues and clock issue calls came up in another thread I think with a shot clock the 5 second call is useless. There is the issue is the player guarding close enough or does the ball handler move enough so no one official calls it the same. And as I said you have a shot clock so why add another rule to confuse already confused officials.
I learned something a couple of days ago. College (men and women) ONLY have 5 second closely guarded while holding the ball. NFHS still has while holding and dribbling. Thus in high school if closely guarded you can catch the ball, hold for 4 seconds, dribble for 4 seconds and hold for 4 seconds. In college, if you are dribbling, there is no count. It was explained, that is due to the shot clock. It was felt there is no need to have the closely guarded while dribbling, but kept the holding portion for when teams trap and contain a player with the ball and they are having difficulty getting a pass off.
That makes sense to me. If high schools ever all go to shot clock (which I have liked in Iowa so far), I would like to see that change for that level too.
The shot clock in Iowa high school basketball was LONG overdue. A few years back Lamoni had the #1 or 2 ranked team in the state. High flying...big scoring team (two went on to be college all-Americans. The team that beat them at state just used the old Lute Olsen four corners offense. Pass, dribble, pass, dribble...never put up a shot unless there was a break down. Lamoni could score in 5-10 seconds each time...the other team would take up to 1:30 or 2:00 per possession. To me that's not basketball.
Home cooking extravaganza in Connecticut helps UCONN survive Creighton, 62-60.
