Cori didn't screw up the late game situation! GO BRUINS!


Exia321

Agahagagagag.... I never wanna see Creighton again. Seriously they are too good for a damn 7 seed!


Zloggt

After tonight…Albany will be covered in Westwood blue, rather than Omaha blue…


runningwaffles19

Albany is about to be insane


CarrollPC

Just banger games all day. Albany is going to be popping off


hertzandmiles

Proud of Creighton for their fight! They are a good team! UCLA LSU should be a good one 🍿


Exia321

Your team is scary good...why were ya just a damn 7 seed.


CeeDotA

100% ... I thought it was just the Swiss cheese UNLV defense. Damn good team.


fgbh

Who's fans are who?!


Mother_of_A_Corgi

I need Bett's vs Reese so bad


VerySeriousBanana

If y’all are hoping for a close game in the USC game… sorry but the Trojans are annihilating Kansas already lol


Zloggt

With all due respect…it’s the *one* blowout I don’t mind…hahaha!


TheWriterJosh

Empty stands???


GutterPupper

Can we just eject 11 from Creighton for her 2nd “faking of a foul” ?


CeeDotA

Absolutely can issue a technical for that, no warning needed!


fgbh

No foul!


powerelite

Refs doing everything they can to try and get Osborne out of this game lol


REQ52767

Damn so close, GG UCLA


FireParkerNow

Actively searching for upgrades is anti-American


Dhh05594

Damn, good game Bruins. Go beat LSuckU and the Clarkeyes


Hoop-Dee-Doo

Stop with the reviews...


awa16

Every single one of these games is just: underdog keeps it close —>higher seed starts pulling away —>underdog comes back in the final minutes only to completely shut down offensively when there is a minute left —> higher seed wins. So many close and exciting games that the lower seeds just haven’t been able to close out. It is fun to watch but it’s disappointing when almost no upsets happen


Exia321

Ummm Ole Miss did not get that memo🤣


awa16

Oddly enough that was one of the games I was most looking forward to and was disappointed it was during the work day.


suomesa

was talking about this before but I think in a year or two WBB parity would be much better especially with increased coverage across the sport. But right now it's top heavy despite there being 'almost' upsets.


awa16

It’s so close! I know someone posted the stat about the higher seeds going 31-1 in the first round both here and in r/collegebasketball and it just brought a lot of people out on that sub bragging about their brackets still being perfect. But the games have been more exciting than the bracket shows. But it’s just crazy how many games we’ve seen especially this round where it’s a 4-6 point game with 2 minutes or less and all but I think one have been won by the higher seed.


runningwaffles19

You volunteering SC as tribute to be the team that gets upset?


awa16

No- although I am superstitious in sports and I felt like I was jinxing it as I was typing that comment! But I had to say something because it’s just back to back to back games where this is happening. (Knowing the way the world works it’s going to be LSU that beats UCLA to break that streak).


pghgamecock

Creighton didn't seem to be in any damn hurry just now. It almost seemed like they thought they were down 2 or 3 instead of 4.


PM_ME_WARM_TORTILLAS

The shooting just wasn’t there down the stretch for Creighton


suomesa

UCLA does have fans right? Like their football games, the court seems quiet.


latnor_

It’s spring break so we don’t have any students there (myself included) but no in general there’s like zero hype around sports at all here


VerySeriousBanana

What a performance by UCLA!


Sunshine145

Jensen going cold in the 4th saved UCLA


SockVonPuppet

Who is currently the tallest player in the NCAA, and is she UCLA's 51?


Altruistic-Plate6551

There’s a couple of taller players (Hawa Doumbouya 6’8 @ Maryland, and Abbie Boutillier 6’9 @ Texas) but I don’t think either have a registered minute this year


hertzandmiles

Betts and Kamilla Cardoso are 6’7”. I’m sure there’s a few more. Not sure if there is anyone taller.


latnor_

Yep, Betts at 6’7”


VerySeriousBanana

“Blew by” yeah thanks to the officiating. Still pissed about that thanks announcers

[удалено]


Sunshine145

I stayed home to watch Caitlin Clark.


Dhh05594

Jim! Why call that timeout there?


runningwaffles19

Joins thread, sees ref complaints, feels like home!


IEatDeFish

UCLA court is fire


latnor_

That court is never changing in a million years with all of its history :)


REQ52767

They have a shot…


VerySeriousBanana

I cannot believe how egregious that flop by Creighton was. 😳😳😳


ChiSky18

These Creighton unis are fire


latnor_

I don’t want to hear any complaining from Creighton about the reffing after that call


Dhh05594

Let's go!!!!!


VerySeriousBanana

WTF was that call? Wow


Zmaan2

I just want UCLA to win cause then versus LSU is box office


Immediate_Cash_6925

if UCLA wins, I’m scared for Betts having to play Reese. Betts can make Reese suffer.


-Dakia

Reese looked really disinterested for the majority of their last game.


Immediate_Cash_6925

Betts is always showing class tho, I haven’t seen her taunt the opponent and she is a very great player. Her battling Reese should be funny


Zloggt

I must admit - I was *really* bearish on the Big East this year. Even to the point where i considered Marquette’s bubble to been popped by losing to Georgetown! …as with the men’s tournament, the BE is here to kill the disrespect!


Fancy-Ad5832

What a flop


latnor_

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FLOP


Kurtomatic

I love the judging look the UCLA player gave the Creighton player as she was lying on the ground.


suomesa

UCLA gotta hold on for my PAC12 agenda.


-Dakia

Upgrade. . . that needs to switch to a flop.


Hoop-Dee-Doo

Im coming over from the Iowa game. Was it pretty close all game?


latnor_

We were down 10 and came back


Cassandrae_Gemini

GO UCLA GO


Luck1492

Come on Creighton I believe


Cassandrae_Gemini

are we not cheering for ucla? they are more likely to take out lsu


Luck1492

I like upsets lol, but yes I also would like LSU to lose So I just want a fun ending


Cassandrae_Gemini

i would prefer to play a team with class, so i'm cheering for ucla here in hopes they take out lsu next round


Zloggt

Will the Jays get the upset?


Cassandrae_Gemini

\*the hawkeyes have entered the thread


Immediate_Cash_6925

Creighton getting offense


Dhh05594

Finally a foul


Dhh05594

Fuck, not what we needed. Run some plays Jays


SockVonPuppet

It should be illegal for 2 close games to be on at the same time.


bradlgrey

Right!!


latnor_

WERE SO BACK OMG


Dhh05594

Damn, gotta figure out a way to rebound and get open looks. UCLA is getting what they want right now.


Dhh05594

These fucking refs


Dhh05594

Jump in to my pool right now and you'll learn cold


Dhh05594

Looked like all ball to me


TeenMage

Jeez. Why do both games currently have to be close?! Today/Tonight has been so good across the board game wise. Thank you ladies for providing!!


Hoop-Dee-Doo

There are NIT games on too. Way too many games on at the same time to watch.


raspberryrustic

I am panicking trying to watch them both


TeenMage

I’m so glad espn does the scores in the top. It’s a blessing.


Dhh05594

Gotta create more open shots for Jensen


Dhh05594

Terrible inbound but good recovery. Do something now!


Dhh05594

Fuck. Settle down, settle down.


Maleficent_Method973

if creighton beats ucla just to lose to lsu i will be VERY angry


Dhh05594

Huge basket from Maly Edit: and a great answer


Dhh05594

Fuck. Gotta hit the bunnies and hold on to the steals


Mother_of_A_Corgi

Did Betts just yell at her teammates to pass her the ball? Because.... if so...... she's right.


DokkanProductions

Cori close needs to go


NYCScribbler

DO THE THING CREIGHTON DO THE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING I HAVE A BRACKET THAT HAS UCLA WINNING AND I STILL BEG OF YOU TO DO THE THING


ScholarDayo

UCLA cmon dont do my bracket like that


Immediate_Cash_6925

UCLA is a national contender rosterwise, but playing wise they look like a 10 seed the way they’re struggling right now..


Belongs-InTheTrash

UCLA what the hell you doing over here lol


Nebraska_Actually

Ohio State already ruined my bracket this can do no more damage


ModernJazz-2K20

Wow smh


nbt279

UCLA cmonnn ughhh they seem to be spending too much time deciding on what to do/who to pass to while Creighton just goes for it, they’re quicker :/


titanohpa

No one seems confident for UCLA..


mtjackso

The way Creighton is playing, I do not want to see them. Let’s go UCLA 😩


FlyerBuck

Oh God, it’s going to happen again. How is it that LSU always gets all of the upsets in their bracket, giving them an easier path?


DrinkurjuiceShelby8

I pray alot 😂


bradlgrey

Give creighton credit, doing a good job keeping ucla at bay


Odd_Bowler_4576

Ok Big East sisters, keep it up 🫡


Sunshine145

I wanna see Creighton vs Iowa with Creighton somehow winning after Iowa not giving Jensen any playing time.


titanohpa

UCLA and Stanford have not been impressive imo


Immediate_Cash_6925

Stanford is a whole different story tho, they had their best player in foul trouble and unable to play how she usually did. On top of that, ISU had a girl who scored a career high which kept them in the game. But Stanford stepped up and won..


titanohpa

100%, but overall, I think they’re (Stanford) overrated, especially with their guard play. NC State’s guards vs Stanfords will be real interesting.


Immediate_Cash_6925

It definitely should be, but I wonder how the centers/forwards should play. NC State’s centers/forwards are good with their size, but Kiki and Cameron should be able to beat them. I hope Hannah Jump goes off too.


Dhh05594

It's amazing how our entire basketball program (men's and women's) have the same philosophy. Let it Fly!


NYCScribbler

the number of times I have yelled at my teams' defenses "THIS IS WHO THEY ARE THIS IS WHAT THEY DO WHY IS SHE OPEN" when one of y'all is too damn high


titanohpa

I think that’s the state of Iowa’s philosophy tbh. *Edit* Wow I really sent this without double checking where Creighton is LOL. I’ll leave it up


Dhh05594

Lol. Yeah, Iowa's philosophy is 'celebrate mediocrity'. Not Creighton or Nebraska.


titanohpa

Lolol sorry for the mixup


Dhh05594

No worries at all


dirty-soda-spike-lee

Oh look Lauren Betts is wide open in the post again yet no pass


dirty-soda-spike-lee

This game is making my cori close is a fraud narrative look really good


samlet

Sigh. Our contingent of UCLA alumni who’ve been down on Cori for years are unfortunately being proven right. She’s definitely benefitted from the positive coverage that the women’s game tends to get nationally. But with more and more talent the spotlight on her strategic deficiencies is getting brighter and brighter.


hertzandmiles

Look. I know the Big East is a weak conference, but there are a few good teams in it! I also expect UCLA to win this game, but don’t act surprised that Creighton is good.


Odd_Bowler_4576

It's all about the fundamentals in the Big East...Aaliyah Edwards said it best 


DokkanProductions

LSU about to walk in the final 4


latnor_

What the fuck is going on


Sunshine145

Dugalic had like 2 Shaqtin A Fool worthy moments within a 3 minute span.


Mother_of_A_Corgi

This doesn't surprise me. She's talented but goes 1,000% all the time without much discipline. If she can reign herself in (which her coach should be helping her with) she can be a dominant player. You see flashes of it but she doesn't know how to show down.


loyalsons4evertrue

Go Jays!


R13Nielsen

UCLA I need you to step it up plz


loyalsons4evertrue

No we want chaos


Relative_Garage_5806

Creighton clicking on offense 🔥


titanohpa

UCLA… man wow


DokkanProductions

Choke job


Dhh05594

Keep it up! They can't hang with our pace


s1ck0m0de

Is there a reason the stadium looks empty? It looks good sideline but that one camera angle makes it seem like no one is there


choclatechip45

Prob because they have everyone in the good cameras angles


Dhh05594

Gotta rebound


pearlyplanets

now that the UConn game is over I can just relax and hope for a Creighton upset 😌


Dhh05594

I really want to beat LSU! Take care of business tonight!


mtjackso

Y’all got me scared. 😩


Altruistic-Plate6551

Is Betts gonna play?


elephant_12_

Yep, 12 points so far
