Can't recall if there's a generic women's hoops thread -- but this Maryland-Iowa game is a real wing-dinger. 

Iowa led by 18, now trails by 2 late in third quarter.

It’s been a very good game. A little bit defense optional. And Clark is an objectively great player, though I’m waiting for a teammate to slap her at some point. Her jawing isn’t limited to the other team. 
Side note: They mentioned during the Iowa MBB game the other night that she apparently dates the mouthy McCaffery son that graduated last year.
To quote the great Michael Bolton in “Office Space”:  “Their kids would have hooves.”

Pitino currently has Simeon Wilcher on his roster who is being covered by NIL. He in effect has 14 scholarship players. So Rick can shut up.

No fair! Only my team is allowed to pay players.

Home clock operator ends up screwing the home team Baylor.   Baylor was up 2 with 2 sec to go and shooting a FT and missed.  Iowa st would have had to thrown a full court shot for a chance to win but the clock operator started clock early so Iowa st gets ball side out.    Kid ends up hitting a 3 but was still in his hand.  Baylor holds on.   Even when the home clock operator tries to screw his home team college basketball still delivering

Baylor/Iowa St great finish. 
Baylor wins by 2, surviving a half court banked in buzzer beat that didn’t beat the buzzer by a scooch

The whole team was delayed at the hotel for something to do with a presidential motorcade

Barnes recruited 2 pgs in that class.  One and done kid and Zeigler.   He was the low rated kid that played his tail off and got minutes as a freshman.  Got hurt at the end of last year and it took him half of this year to get right but he is all the way back

Well the Ducks got their legs back and the Bruins have turned back into a pumpkin. Tied up first tv timeout in second half.

They will probably win the WCC tourney to get in but as an at-large team they need to win at Kentucky to have any shot and win at St Mary’s

Feel dirty rooting for Wisconsin here, but I’ll get over it

We are not beating Wisconsin or Purdue the 2nd time. These teams run sets….

I have Furman/ UNC Greensboro on another TV. We’re not beating them either, they score points, a lot. Really entertaining game
