Kansahusker, do you know how to change the thread title? Maybe change it to B1G in NCAA.

What channel is it on ?

[kansashusker]

Over now.  Michigan won big 

[kansashusker]

Not in the BIG but drake is darn good

[Bugeaters1]

Rutgers got beat. Buffalo beat thier ass.

[Cazzie22]

Nice win for Indiana over Texas.

[kansashusker]

BIG having a good tourney so far. Iowa in sweet 16

[Cazzie22]

Off topic,  but I am very impressed by South Dakota State reaching the Sweet 16.  That program is impressive using mostly small town girls from the Upper Midwest.  They are fundamentally sound which helps offset their lack of size and not being as athletic as the Power 5 schools.  UCLA is on the verge of knocking off Maryland, which indicates that the B1G is still behind the other Power Conferences in WBB.  

[Bugeaters1]

UCLA just beat the bat shit crazy coach of Maryland. Yeah!!!!!

Big was better this year overall than n the last few years. 5 teams in final 32 is pretty solid just don’t have anybody who is truly in hunt for final 4 most likely   Women’s b-ball there are still about 5 programs that r usually just better than next 15

Do you think UConn is on the way down, with th transfers and things?

[kansashusker]

Uconn may not rattle off 80 straight or anything again soon but they r still elite. I do think a little more parity is slowly creeping into upper echelon of women’s b-ball

There's no question more 'parity" has developed in the last few years. There's a top 10 or so that are in place, and can beat about any other top 10 team on a given night.

But there are 4 or 5 still at the top, year in and year out. Most sports are like that...men's or women's.

 

The top 10 to 20 ranked teams have players, that could play on the more elite teams. More and more parity creeps in as time goes on, and more skilled young kids come up through club teams & H.S.'s

Women's Club teams (all sports) have exploded in the last 10 years. We just need to get more....our share. 

 

Watching the NCAA's (and NIT), amazing the numbers of outstanding and athletic bigs that can dominate inside. Iowa's an example we've seen up and personal.

That seems to be one of the keys for many teams that get far in the tourneys. Not all, but most.

 

And outstanding go to guard scorers that can carry the team so to speak...score and make assists. More and more really good coaches too.

 

Iowa's the only B1G team left in the NCAA's.  

 

Fun to watch Missouri State (their coach probably won't be there much longer...some power 5 will want her) and South Dakota St are giving it a run for their money.

Ya next year is going to be rough for UCONN.. Only 1 top 100 player is coming in for them. They only play 6 players this year and are losing 2 of them. So they will be down to 5 legit players next year. They have a whole bench of ok players that Geno is trying to turn into great players. Hopefully they show it next year or it might be the year UCONN loses in the American finally.

Great run for Iowa into the Elite 8. Baylor will be waiting.

Goooo IOWA!      ()

It would be great for the B1G.  Never really could stand Mulkey!

[redsteve]

Notre Dame beat Tx A&M...good game to watch..hard fought by two excellent teams.. Almost no subbing by either team....it's crunch time for sure.

 

Shepard played real well....don't think she sat at all. Pretty close to a double double...maybe 20 points.  She looked a lot thinner....then the announcer said she  has lost 30 plus pounds...she moves better now.  She fits ND style perfectly. Good to see the Nebraska girl do well.

Will be an interesting in the paint. Baylor may be able to dominate the boards. Have two bigs that are tough.

I was rooting for Jess.  Felt strange cheering for Notre Dame.  Glad she is graduating.

Watching the Miss St - Oregon game.

 

Surprisingly bad officiating......Miss St has gotten hosed several times. So has Oregon too 

 

Oregon runs such a simply offence...lots of  "give and goes" of every form possible. Efficient at scoring.  Doesn't relay on 3 shooting. ....As soon as I say that they start drilling 3s

They have as good a starting 5 as anybody.  Ionescu reminds me of Leigh Brown...with 4 yeas of polish and experience.

Parity?

You guys do realize that all four #1s and all four #2s made the elite 8, right?

And "Goooo Iowa" on a Husker site?! Really?

Just because you don't care for Mulkey?

If Iowa is playing the devil, in anything...I'm rooting for the devil!

[Cazzie22]

Baylor is boat racing Iowa.  The athletic disparity between the two teams is almost shocking.  Iowa is a good team but is a long way from the very elite teams.  The B1G has to upgrade recruiting.

iowa is getting spanked big time by 20...in the 3rd qtr
