Penn St beat Towson 71-64.

 

IPFW or (Indiana/Purdue at Fort Wayne) leads Illinois at half time 32-26

I watched part of the Duke/Ala. game on TV.....and Duke is the real deal. Very athletic overall...and had good height.

 

The freshman class is excellent....

 

...one of the guards is a very agile 6-4 or 6-5

Looks like it could be a long season in Happy Valley. as  it could be in Columbus

[Norm Peterson]

So how did Chatrice White end up doing?  9 points at half for a true freshman playing in the early part of the season signals good things no matter who the opponent is.

[Silverbacked1]

Anybody watch UCONN blow it at the end of overtime.

Kind of what usually happens to teams that win too easly, completely imploded the last :45 seconds of overtime.

I thought it was fun to watch Gino have no answers for how to get his team to do anything right at the end. He actually had to coach, and did a poor job of it. At least in my humble opinion.

[KarlHessEatMy....]

UCONN will still win the whole thing. Geno is the best coach in women's basketball!! I am glad they lost last night so they don't feel like they can win anything and everything on any given day without putting a better effort out there. Lots of newbies playing along side Stewart and Lewis.

Since the start of the season last week the Big Ten is 1-3 against teams from the power conferences. The lone win came late last night with the Huskers beating Pac-12 Washington St.

Also, last night Purdue, who just cracked the top 25, went down to Wis/Green Bay 81-78 in OT

[Cazzie22]

Oklahoma St. played Carolina to the wire.  Michigan State was impressive against Notre Dame.

15 points, 13 rebounds last night.  Good start to a career.

She is averaging 17 pts and 11 rebounds thru three games.

Stanford who beat #1 UConn last Monday lost to Texas last night 87-81 in overtime in Palo Alto. Hopefully it's a sign we're getting closer to parity!

[Row6Seat10]

Illinois beats #9 yesterday and falls to unranked South Florida tonight 67-61.

C White has 8 points, Kissinger from Minden fails to score.

Michigan beat Washington St 76-64

Arkansas over Iowa 77-67

Penn State drops to 1-4 after losing today to Liberty 80-67

Vanderbilt gives Minnesota their first loss of the year

[Bugeaters1]

Let's hope that with the four seniors we have leaving after this season, that the Huskers won't be going through what Penn St is this year.

[huskerchode]

Hoping that the new girls can play some quality minutes as the season goes on so we don't have the same situation as PSU. We will still have Theriot, Havers, and Romeo. I would like to think Kalenta will be playing more and hopefully Smith and Cincore as the season continues. Wish Esther could figure out her shot a bit better, she can be helpful, too.

Regarding Illinois, seems like they have a tendency to foul a lot. Hoping for a good reffing crew when we play.

Thug ball is what I call what Illinois plays.

Wow, that ought to help our RPI

[Noah121]

Yes, they do.  If they are not called for a lot of fouls, the other team often loses in frustration.  This happened in Evanston (!) a few years ago, when Illinois muscled Northwestern out at home, but then a tighter crew called the game in Champaign and Northwestern won there.

 

Speaking of Northwestern, they knocked off #18 DePaul in double-overtime last night to improve to 5-0.

[Row6Seat10]

That's a good win for your Wildcats Noah! Must have been a pretty wild overtime with all the points that were scored! You going to be able to get to the "Vault" over Christmas vacation? Sure would be great to have your enthusiasm back for a little while! 

 

 

Speaking of Illinois they blew a 11 point lead last night against Oklahoma late in the game and got beat in OT 78-76.

#8 Duke lost to #7 Texas AM 63 - 59.

No kidding! They're going to be out for blood Wednesday. Hope we're ready.
