Not the right thread probably, but the right audience:

My two cents on watching SC/UCONN for the first time. I’d honestly rather draw a potential final four matchup with SC if it weren’t for the likely homecourt advantage of playing in Greensborough. They are pretty one-dimensional. Granted it’s a really strong dimension. They have a 6’7” and 6’5” front court. But they can’t really shoot the ball. UCONN is actually sagging off all the way into the lane on their guards. I think we play better team defense than UCONN and could have success doubling them in the post and picking pockets with swipe downs. Plus one of their bigs would have to guard Yarden or Syd around the perimeter and that would be a huge mismatch. UCONN is playing without two potential NPOY candidates and still holding their own. If they get healthy, they would be a tough matchup for us. All in all, two good teams, but neither are Head and shoulders better than us. Comforting to see having not watched either and hearing how dominant they are.

I see some red in the crowd.  Anyone there to give us a feel for the crowd?

It almost looks like we’re playing a home game at Mackey!

If we have almost half the house at Mackey, that is the coolest thing ever.

Painful to watch the last minute of this Depaul-Seton Hall men's game.

Makes me want to rip my eyes out

Didn't that player just throw the ball to the ref?  Why didn't he get a tech called  like X?

[Hoosierfan1901]

Underway!

Nice way to start for CMM bit 3 and the steal!

Apparently PU students left trash everywhere outside and started a stampede once the gates were opened

I thought that was odd too.

I love this team

[HoosierAloha]

What was that pass?! Damn that was high risk but she got it through. Wow

South Carolina will remain #1 with an 81-77 win over UConn but UConn made it interesting over the final minute.

I have tried and simply can’t get into the women’s game. It’s like watching paint dry vs mbb. I do enjoy women’s volleyball though. Very exciting. That said get the win today ladies!

Gotta start hitting some jump shots to make them stop doubling Mack.
