WBB: Misc thread, polls, opponents games, regional stuff

[BoxsterCy]

Polls were updated today. Baylor still in top 10 and WVU still in top 25. No one else in the Big 12 is even currently close to being ranked. Texas isn't even receiving votes even after beating the Volunteers in Knoxville.

Games of interest and other misc ramblings:

Texas plays #1 Stanford* at Norman Sunday ESPN2 1200

Oklahoma plays #2 Connecticut* at Norman Sunday CBS Sports Net 3:00

Drake plays at Oklahoma tonight at 7:00. Fox Go something for TV, not something I can get. Would like to watch.

Drake drew 7,000 for what amounted to a scrimmage with Waldorf last week. Kudos on the attendance. I'll not diss them too much for that WTF scheduling because of the P5's they are playing.

Random observation: The Pac-12 is loaded.


* Boxster's more than a little envious of these premium matchups. I'd motor down I-35 any day for one of those at Hilton.

Looks like Sherri will not be coaching against Geno on Sunday.

UConn's Geno Auriemma to have surgical procedure

Of course seeing these high flying teams would be fun, but a loss by 40 to Stanford or UConn doesn’t help anyone.

Sherri's rolling Drake. Up by 20 at the half.


Edit: Sooners win 93-84. Drake had an 11 - 0 run in last 1:50 to close the 93 - 73 gap but this looks like it was all Sooners.

Watching a battle of ranked teams, Michigan at Maryland versus the Fighting Frese's. Very physical man to man by both teams. Our most vocal fans would be whining up a storm about thuggery and hacking.

Not much else happening.
KSU beat some no name Texas school. Big whoop.
Nebraska beat Iowa in Lincoln. Minor whoop.

Edit. The Frese's win. Brenda's freshman PG looks like a miniature Courtney Paris.

Big 12 stuff: Lauren Cox for Baylor is cleared to play after missing seven weeks to a foot injury.

New poll this week.

#6 Baylor
#19 WVU
#25 Texas.

RV: Kansas (4), Texas Tech (1)

Was thinking Texas should be back after falling to not even receiving votes. Nice bounce-back with wins over Tennessee and Stanford.

Gophers back at #24. Tempted to go watch them this afternoon but (as much fun as games can be at The Barn) wondering if my motivation is simply an excuse to skip working out at LifeTime. Will ponder while shoveling the snow from yesterday

Went down and caught the Drake Uni game. Final was 104-87 Drake the game was not as close as the score indicated. Drake ended the 2nd qtr with an 11 pt run in the final minute. Uni got it down to a little bit then the wheels fell off. Bad shooting and unforced turnovers along with stout Drake D sealed their fate.

Jerk move by Tonya at the end Jennie called of the dogs and took a turnover with 14 sec left, Uni scored off of it when it didn't matter. By the way road conditions north of Ames drop off dramatically be careful if your going North tonight.

Baylor and UConn clash Thursday night on ESPN. Could be a good one for WBB fans.

Dang at UConn so much for hitting up our southern friend for tkts.

TCU wins at Texas then they go home and fall tonight to Texas Tech. This conf. is so weird.

Just looked at the schedule and after we get past the Sooner game this weekend all but the Texas game (on dat damn Longhorn Net no one gets) will be on something we can all get, either Clone.TV, ESPN+, ESPNU, FS1, Fox North/Midwest etc. National TV for @ Baylor and @UWV.

Any time you need them come on down buddy.

Dang - Baylor just administered a beatdown to #1 UConn. I haven't seen them yet but I imagine a lot of size and athleticism again.

Close until the last six minutes or so. 15-0 run by Baylor sealed the deal. UConn went over 6 minutes without a score.

Brenda Frese's #17 marsh turtles lost in IC tonight 65-61 to dah Hawks.

Lauren Cox is obviously back and ready to go, played 40 minutes.

Barring injuries Baylor is very close to being just as good as last year. Several players on the bench that would be starting most anywhere else. The elite 8 this year should be composed of the best 8 teams I've ever witnessed in WBB.

Drake took the loss at Missouri State fri nite, loose ball scramble MSU puts up a 3 at the end for the win.
