  1. At what point do we start referring to the P2 and the Group of 7?
  2. If the writer is saying Texas won because it supposedly threw a lot of money at a kid that only got a tailored suit with school colored trim from Georgia, then I can only say -- Smart kid.
  3. Match. Back to back hitting errors by Batenhorst, who finished hitting .149. Wenaas finished with 12 kills and 0 errors in 18 swings. Phenomenal.
  4. Jenna Wenaas EN FUEGO! 11 kills and 0 hitting errors in 17 swings and 5 aces, if the NCAA website has the stats right for the game.
  5. I hope we see the same Ally Batenhorst we saw in the finals last year. She managed only 2 kills, made 5 hitting errors, hit -.214, and committed 3 return errors.
  6. Here's betting the same writer gushed over UGa's coaching staff/atmosphere/players making the difference when UGa signed each of the 7 out of state five stars it landed the last two seasons.
  7. Nitpicking here, but you should amend the OP to read per 247 composite rankings. 247 itself has a KSU recruit as its last 5 star. But the point is valid. Like the Big 12 and the ACC feared, they are now totally left behind.
  8. And had an 8-0 run early in the third.
  9. USC made short work of UT-Arlington, so I guess we won't have to worry about a late start.
  10. And that is just the completed part of our OOC schedule. Once we finish our OOC schedule, we will probably drop into the mid 340s.
  11. Early expectations were to earn a 1 seed and compete for their third straight title. Present expectations are to play above seed and compete for their third straight title.
  12. Yeah, I can't believe how winning a road game while being down a top player against a P5 team that could make the tournament is supposed to be an indictment of a coach.
  13. Four of the five unbeaten teams in the top 5 in the polls lost today or yesterday. Tennessee moves up to #1. Remember the last time Barnes got to #1? I do.
  14. Looks like that final tally in the challenge will be 14-2. Auburn went down to Duke, but Mississippi State beat the snot out of Pitt, Alabama clubbed UNC, Vandy handled Va Tech, and Florida nuked Virginia. Pomeroy will have SEC +3 over the Big 12 tomorrow. In fact, Big 12 is now trailing the Big Ten since KU lost bigly to Creighton.
  15. I thought Pope played pretty well, but more turnovers than assists and the big missed ft at the end. Team win. Nobody is the hero. And that is the way it should be with this team. If they play as a unit and move the ball, they can be great, like they were in that stretch with back to back open threes or the stretch with a lot of motion to get Shedrick the ball twice in the lane, but when they devolve to Johnson, Mark, or Kaluma going one on five, then they are meh on offense and will rely on defense to win it for them. But this was a good win. It wasn't a great win, but any road win against a P5 team in the Pomeroy top 75 is a good win. It might be a q1 win by season's end, so let's not complain about it.
  16. Weaver with the exclamation point. We win by 4 in a game Pomeroy projected us to win by 1. Not a huge victory, but a road win against a P5 team that is pretty good. No Vinson. I don't know if I like seeing that. Onyema has some uses, but he is very limited on offense. Codie got a few minutes but did not show up in the stat line. Way too much one on five stuff from Kaluma, Mark, and Johnson, but a) Kaluma owned the boards, b) Mark made some really good plays on defense, and c) Johnson hit some big shots, so I guess we'll just have to suffer through their bouts of tunnel vision.
  17. 89% ft shooter Pope missed the front end.
  18. Ball off Shedrick, but elbow to the face was inadvertent.
  19. Pretty good d on that possession, but it is a pity we couldn't get the rebound. We controlled the boards most of the second half.
  20. Weaver once again making stuff happen. Dude is a baller. If he could only hit his ft this year.
  21. What is the point of reviewing goal-tending on a made basket? A 0.4 difference on the clock? We wait 5 minutes for that?
  22. I can't believe that was an offensive foul on Pope.
  23. Serious question here--if we win this, do we have a player of the game? I think not. Johnson is our leading scorer, but he had 0 assists and 3 turnovers and didn't shoot a high percentage. Kaluma is our leading rebounder, but he made a bunch of bad plays on offense. Shedrick was kind of the invisible man again. Every now and then he popped up and did something, but his effect on the game as a whole was minimal. Team win, IF we win. No standout performances.
  24. Johnson with stupid turnover and goaltend.
