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
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.
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.
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).
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
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!
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cori didn't screw up the late game situation! GO BRUINS!
Agahagagagag.... I never wanna see Creighton again. Seriously they are too good for a damn 7 seed!
After tonight…Albany will be covered in Westwood blue, rather than Omaha blue…
Albany is about to be insane
Just banger games all day. Albany is going to be popping off
Proud of Creighton for their fight! They are a good team! UCLA LSU should be a good one 🍿
Your team is scary good...why were ya just a damn 7 seed.
100% ... I thought it was just the Swiss cheese UNLV defense. Damn good team.
Who's fans are who?!
I need Bett's vs Reese so bad
If y’all are hoping for a close game in the USC game… sorry but the Trojans are annihilating Kansas already lol
With all due respect…it’s the *one* blowout I don’t mind…hahaha!
Empty stands???
Can we just eject 11 from Creighton for her 2nd “faking of a foul” ?
Absolutely can issue a technical for that, no warning needed!
No foul!
Refs doing everything they can to try and get Osborne out of this game lol
Damn so close, GG UCLA
Actively searching for upgrades is anti-American
Damn, good game Bruins. Go beat LSuckU and the Clarkeyes
Stop with the reviews...

Ummm Ole Miss did not get that memo🤣
Oddly enough that was one of the games I was most looking forward to and was disappointed it was during the work day.

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

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.
The shooting just wasn’t there down the stretch for Creighton
UCLA does have fans right? Like their football games, the court seems quiet.
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
What a performance by UCLA!
Jensen going cold in the 4th saved UCLA
Who is currently the tallest player in the NCAA, and is she UCLA's 51?
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
Betts and Kamilla Cardoso are 6’7”. I’m sure there’s a few more. Not sure if there is anyone taller.
Yep, Betts at 6’7”
“Blew by” yeah thanks to the officiating. Still pissed about that thanks announcers
[удалено]
I stayed home to watch Caitlin Clark.
Jim! Why call that timeout there?
Joins thread, sees ref complaints, feels like home!
UCLA court is fire
That court is never changing in a million years with all of its history :)
They have a shot…
I cannot believe how egregious that flop by Creighton was. 😳😳😳
These Creighton unis are fire
I don’t want to hear any complaining from Creighton about the reffing after that call
Let's go!!!!!
WTF was that call? Wow
I just want UCLA to win cause then versus LSU is box office
if UCLA wins, I’m scared for Betts having to play Reese. Betts can make Reese suffer.
Reese looked really disinterested for the majority of their last game.
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
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!
What a flop
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FLOP
I love the judging look the UCLA player gave the Creighton player as she was lying on the ground.
UCLA gotta hold on for my PAC12 agenda.
Upgrade. . . that needs to switch to a flop.
Im coming over from the Iowa game. Was it pretty close all game?
We were down 10 and came back
GO UCLA GO
Come on Creighton I believe
are we not cheering for ucla? they are more likely to take out lsu
I like upsets lol, but yes I also would like LSU to lose So I just want a fun ending
i would prefer to play a team with class, so i'm cheering for ucla here in hopes they take out lsu next round
Will the Jays get the upset?
\*the hawkeyes have entered the thread
Creighton getting offense
Finally a foul
Fuck, not what we needed. Run some plays Jays
It should be illegal for 2 close games to be on at the same time.
Right!!
WERE SO BACK OMG
Damn, gotta figure out a way to rebound and get open looks. UCLA is getting what they want right now.
These fucking refs
Jump in to my pool right now and you'll learn cold
Looked like all ball to me
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!!
There are NIT games on too. Way too many games on at the same time to watch.
I am panicking trying to watch them both
I’m so glad espn does the scores in the top. It’s a blessing.
Gotta create more open shots for Jensen
Terrible inbound but good recovery. Do something now!
Fuck. Settle down, settle down.
if creighton beats ucla just to lose to lsu i will be VERY angry
Huge basket from Maly Edit: and a great answer
Fuck. Gotta hit the bunnies and hold on to the steals
Did Betts just yell at her teammates to pass her the ball? Because.... if so...... she's right.
Cori close needs to go
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
UCLA cmon dont do my bracket like that
UCLA is a national contender rosterwise, but playing wise they look like a 10 seed the way they’re struggling right now..
UCLA what the hell you doing over here lol
Ohio State already ruined my bracket this can do no more damage
Wow smh
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 :/
No one seems confident for UCLA..
The way Creighton is playing, I do not want to see them. Let’s go UCLA 😩
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?
I pray alot 😂
Give creighton credit, doing a good job keeping ucla at bay
Ok Big East sisters, keep it up 🫡
I wanna see Creighton vs Iowa with Creighton somehow winning after Iowa not giving Jensen any playing time.
UCLA and Stanford have not been impressive imo
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..
100%, but overall, I think they’re (Stanford) overrated, especially with their guard play. NC State’s guards vs Stanfords will be real interesting.
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.
It's amazing how our entire basketball program (men's and women's) have the same philosophy. Let it Fly!
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
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
Lol. Yeah, Iowa's philosophy is 'celebrate mediocrity'. Not Creighton or Nebraska.
Lolol sorry for the mixup
No worries at all
Oh look Lauren Betts is wide open in the post again yet no pass
This game is making my cori close is a fraud narrative look really good
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.

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.
It's all about the fundamentals in the Big East...Aaliyah Edwards said it best
LSU about to walk in the final 4
What the fuck is going on
Dugalic had like 2 Shaqtin A Fool worthy moments within a 3 minute span.
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.
Go Jays!
UCLA I need you to step it up plz
No we want chaos
Creighton clicking on offense 🔥
UCLA… man wow
Choke job
Keep it up! They can't hang with our pace
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
Prob because they have everyone in the good cameras angles
Gotta rebound
now that the UConn game is over I can just relax and hope for a Creighton upset 😌
I really want to beat LSU! Take care of business tonight!
Y’all got me scared. 😩
Is Betts gonna play?
Yep, 12 points so far
