NCAA Women's Tournament

[purpleprairiecat]

Starting a new thread for the discussion of the games that K-State is not playing. I am currently watching the KU vs Michigan game. It is early but KU looks timid and tired. It seems to me that in general the first round games in the women's tournament are more interesting and competitive than in the men's tournament.

I'll be attending the Gonzaga vs UC Irvine and Utah vs South Dakota State games in Spokane this afternoon and tonight. I will be yelling for South Dakota State on behalf of tmcats. The games will be played in a sold-out McCarthey Athletic Center, which is a nice facility that only seats 6000. Season ticket holders from Gonzaga were upset because most were not allowed to purchase their usual season ticket locations per NCAA rules regarding ticket distribution. We were moved from nice seats in the lower section to much less desirable seats in the upper section. I'll post a report after the game. I expect Gonzaga to easily win because their strength is a fast-pace game and shooting 3's, which is UC Irvine's weakness. Utah is the favorite in the second game. They average 78 points per game, but SDSU averages allowing only 60 points per game.

KU beat Michigan in overtime by 9. They finished 22 to 9 to close out regulation and tie the game.

Gonzaga got off to a slow start but beat UC Irvine 75 - 56. Now watching Utah vs South Dakota State. Utah got off to a fast start, but SDSU has closed the gap at halftime. Utah up 27 to 24. The Utah coach got a T just before half and deserved a second one. K-State is better than these teams. Due to injuries, Gonzaga is down to 8 players.

you didn't yell loud enough.

will be interesting to see how iowa handles wvu's quickness, or doesn't. and the clones get stanford - audi v. the antelope.

best i can uncover, k-state will get but 15% of the ticket proceeds plus parking and concessions for hosting. the ncaa is such a money pit.

I tried. There was a good turnout of fans from South Dakota State. Utah has a wide body center who was a bit too much for SDSU to handle. She can score either inside or from the perimeter. The SDSU band was great, and the Jackrabbit mascot was fun to watch.

Looks like Texas is going to advance. They are up 61 to 51 with about 2 minutes left. Booker has 19. Texas has missed a ton of shots at the rim.
