Starch Madness 1st round - WBB Portland's not a State vs. UNCU

[rfischer94]

Weber beats Sac in the men's 9/10 game. They're playing well all of a sudden, I can see them giving UNC a very good game tomorrow. #1 and #2 seeds are a combined 1-3 in the quarterfinals since the new format began.

This NAU/EWU game is the first chance I've had to watch today and I'm immediately reminded of how annoying that reflection of the advertising boards is that runs the length of the court on the TV broadcast.

It is very annoying. It must be hard for the players to adjust to it.

How did we lose Sac State? This doesn’t come close to resembling the team we saw in Bozeman.

Sac was the single most disappointing team in the league in my opinion. With Versteeg, who's a future pro, Jaydia Martin who was All-Big Sky at EWU and now at Sac, plus Fatoumata Jaiteh who was good at NAU before transferring and Katie Peneueta, who was on the Sac championship team before transferring to NC State and starting, then coming back to Sac State (!!!), they have four legitimately good Big Sky players. They had no excuse for finishing 8th. They had no excuse for finishing behind teams like Idaho, Montana, Idaho State and Eastern Washington. They are more talented than every single one of those teams.

It has to come down to coaching?

Versteeg has kne more year left correct? Will she transfer?

NAU beats EWU and tomorrow's games are set. MSU vs UNC followed by NAU vs Sac on the women's side and UNC vs Weber followed by Griz vs NAU for the men. I'll take Weber over UNC as the likeliest upset tomorrow.

I think the gris are in a dogfight tomorrow.

Although, I told Darius Brown about this and he didn't even know it happened.

NAU looked really good. Towt had 17 rebounds. Good luck keeping him off the glass.

Massey has the gris 76-71.

I think the gris are in a dogfight tomorrow.

At the under 8 media time out they sure are. NAU 16 - 13.
