  1. I thought Gonzaga only had a 7 man rotation for this game as someone got left in Spokane. That won’t work vs Purdue If UH gets by Duke (which I suspect they will) they better take NC State seriously as they have some dudes
  2. Is that the big girl from Iowa State? Yes, that video I saw was a foul—shooting foul to be exact. I wanted to see the whole play because my first thought was the baseline ref was straight lined.
  3. That is absolutely a fucking foul on Edey.
  4. Context. I’m not talking about anticipation fouls, I’m talking about contact that was incidental vs an actual foul or contact that may have happened but it was so light it didn’t impact the play (known as Game Interrupters). When someone says anticipating a foul, that sounds to me like blowing the whistle before the play finishes or contact occurs. That rarely happens, and it shouldn’t with the S16/EE refs. If you’ve made it this far, you are very highly graded and were highly graded in the 1st and 2nd rounds
  5. I know you hate Shaka, but no he didn’t have the easiest path. UConn did.
  6. Ehh, it’s been fine from what I’ve seen. The only questions I had were on the Iowa/WVU game. I thought our games in Austin were reffed fine. It will just depends on what crew we have tonight. We will definitely have someone who we’ve seen before because they do B12 games (1), someone we haven’t seen before—most likely (2) and usually the 3rd is someone who may not be in either conference or in both conferences (3). That helps. The women’s side is the same as the men’s on how refs advance to the next round. That may not bode well because of our style. The old saying goes it’s better to call a foul and have it be CI (Call Incorrect) than to not call a foul and have it be NCI (No Call Incorrect). More often than not, contact being a foul will result in a CC (Call Correct), and that could be contact that was always let go or not called in a regular season game.
  7. And they have Nate Oats as their coach.
  8. I mean to be fair, the empty seats you’re seeing are just the Nawf Coarlina fans who haven’t arrived yet since the lower bowl is divided into quadrants for the fans.
  9. It’s okay, BeardIP and fatty don’t say DEI with a hard I at the end.
  10. The tip times for these games are fucking wack.
  11. There’s also been some chatter—albeit on social media—about women going back to neutral site games for the 1st and 2nd rounds considering the rise of popularity in women’s basketball since the last time they were doing neutral sites. I don’t know that this will happen again. The NCAA likes those sold our arenas the home team provides them in the 1st and 2nd rounds. If anything, they’ll just move around the S16/EE games and rotate that.
  12. Well the problem with the hotels is: 1.) I honestly don’t believe the Women’s and Men’s Selection Committees talk to each other about stuff like this. And from what I’ve gathered, the committees don’t tell the NCAA anything until they’ve selected the teams. But really it’s this: 2.) The Men’s selection sites are done a few years in advance. The NCAA can reserve those rooms for the 8 teams they know will be shipped there. With the Women, you have no idea who is going where until Selection Sunday (exceptions of course i.e. teams like Texas, Souf Carolina, Stanford, etc know they are hosting). With Gonzaga/Utah, they could have been flipped easily. But flipping those seeds is a big deal because of home advantage, which goes back to my point #1. Then the question becomes how ethical is it to flip seeds because there are no realistic hotel rooms available in the area for 8 more teams and their fans? I’ve just questioned why the NCAA is so enamored with Spokane as a host. Seems like they are hosting the men’s side all the time. Just keep it on a rotating basis of west coast major hubs—LA, Vegas, Portland, SLC, and Seattle. That would be like if they made Amarillo 1st and 2nd round host site
