2022-2023 NCAA Tournament The Big Dance

The First Four begins. First game is between #11 Illinois and #11 Mississippi St about to tip-off winner plays #6 Creighton.

The second game is #16 Sacred Heart vs #16 Southern winner plays #1 Stanford

 

There is a certain "5" for Mississippi State that I still wish would come to Austin with that 5th year of eligibility.

 

She’s scored all 6 of State’s first points going 3-3

 

Couple of ex Texas staffers on each team. McIntire for Illinois and Jones for Mississippi State.

 

Totally forgot about that!

 

First game at 10:30am is an interesting matchup of teams that beat Texas
#9 Marquette vs #8 South Florida

At 11:00am Go Eers!
#10 West Virginia vs #7 Arizona
(Esmery Martinez against her former B12 team)

 

Waiting for West Virginia vs Arizona to tip. I e pect West Virginia to be competitive.

 

Yikes. Arizona having zero trouble scoring against West Virginia early. Looks like Reese and Martinez …

+ Pellington. She's come aways since transferring from OU.

 

South Florida & Marquette going to OT

 

South Florida trailed the entire game and took their first lead with 1:21 left in regulation and won it in overtime.

 

Andrea Lloyd is announcing games from Baton Rouge with a front row seat to the Kim Mulkey Spectacular Trailer Trash Backwater Extravaganza/Circus

 

How many schools have or had both women and men in the tourney beside Texas? I know Creighton Conn and MissState until they lost to Pitt.

 

WTF is KM wearing?

 

It’s really difficult to describe but interesting use of a sweater vest. Probably won it in a mud wrasslin match with Krista Gerlich down at the Spittoon Bar & Griddle

 

Stanford will be without Cameron Brink tonight against Sacred Heart due to non Covid illness. SH without their second leading scorer with an ankle injury

 

Sad for both cases, but REALLY wish SH was full strength to see what they could do against a Brink-less Cardinal..

 

Yes I think it was their 3 pt shooter too

 

#10 Princeton upsets #7 North Carolina St
64-63

 

A friend found what Kim was wearing.

Kiss Me I'm a Queen Sweater

 

Thank you! I never got a good look at the front and wasn’t sure what it said. Most ill fitting sweater vest ever!

 

#3 Ohio St and #14 James Madison are in a tight one midway thru 3Q a 1 point game

 

Okie Lite took a 17-point lead into the half. Lead by 2 at the end of the 3rd. Really aggressive full court press by Miami completely stymied the Cowgirls.

 

Ohio State won 80-66. Kobe King-Hawea started for James Madison.

 

Kamie’s Wazzu Team upset by 12-seed FGCU.

 

Iowa St screwing the pooch down 15 with 1:30 left in Qtr 3

 

Iowa St. had a good run at the end of the 3rd qtr. AJoens not playing well against Toledo's defense. One quarter left, time to show up or they will be going home early.

 

Forgive me for failing to care.

 

Iowa State goes down. It seems like they underperform in the tournament every year.

 

I was wrong. I do care because I am smiling right now.

 

Just read that this is the first time Toledo won a NCAA tournament game in 26 years. C'mon Fennelly. Is that how you send off your best player in years? Price for winning the Big12 tourney? bAiler next.
