Straight from the Dog


Another shake up for the seedings. 

AP No. 4 Ohio State and the No. 2 one seed in the last NCAA reveal lost in the Big Ten quarterfinals to unranked Maryland 82-61. 

So, it was a loss in the quarter finals. And it was a 21 point loss. To an unranked team. They previously lost their regular season finale to Iowa.  

They will drop somewhere to the 2 seed line. Is that enough punishment for losing their last two games of the pre-NCAA tournament season?  

This complicates things for the Committee. Again.  

And late news, No. 12 Indiana was eliminated from the Big Ten tournament in the quarterfinals getting spanked by unranked Michigan 69-56. That could put them out of their Top 16 spot in the brackets. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two teams I really don't like....ok, hate....won in their conference tournament today.

No. 14 Notre Dame used a big second quarter to pull ahead of No. 24 Louisville and was never  threatened after that in winning 77-68.

Freshman sensation Hannah Hidago scored 21 points, but had a tough shooting game. She was 5-16 from the field and 0-2 on threes. She also had 5 turnovers. But as usual she got to the free throw line a ton and went 11-14. 

The game was a real foul fest. I hate games like this. Notre Dame was 24-30 on free throws and Louisville was 19-27. Between the two teams they had 45 fouls called. ZZZZZzzzzz.........

Tennessee beat up on Alabama winning 83-61. To me this shows the weakness of the bottom half of the SEC and I don't understand how Charlie SECreme has 9 SEC teams in the tournament.

Milestone Watch

• Aaliyah Edwards reached 1754 career points with her 13 points in the Providence game. She is in sole possession of 18th place. She now needs 43 points to catch Stefanie Dolson.

• Aaliyah Edwards now has 973 rebounds with 7 against Providence. She now needs 34 to catch Gabby Williams in 8th place.

• Nika Mühl had 632 assists after her 7 assists in the Providence game. She is tied Renee Montgomery for fourth place. She needs only 5 more to tie Jen Rizzoti for 3rd.

• Geno now has 1206 wins.

****************************************************

SPIDER STATS
 
Plus one for every assist block point rebound and steal. I don’t add extra for offensive rebounds as it already seems to favor the bigs. Minus one for every missed shot (2, 3 or foul), turnover or foul committed.
