GTWBB vs South Carolina, Sunday Mar 28, 1PM ABC

Only down by 2 against one of the top teams in the country despite missing FIVE layups.

This is absolutely a bearable team. We look tired already and have missed a ton of layups. If we can button up some things we can win this.

South Carolina right now making 3s when they haven't made them all tournament.

So far, good things have happened when GT gets out on fast break.

SC was 4-29 from 3PT this tournament. They’re like 4-7 today. Stupid. They can’t miss and we can’t buy a basket.

Refs called some weak fouls on Cubaj.

4 points at the half. Oh ye of little faith

Lahtinen and McQueen keeping the game close. Hopefully Cubaj can get it going in the 2nd half.

SC shooting out of their minds. Way above their average. Yet GT only down 4.

Is 83% what we normally shoot from 3?

If we can make some layups we can stay in this game. Missing 7 in the first half hurt.

I don't think the referees are calling this evenly.

What a terrible call!

Getting killed in the paint.

62 USC - 50 GT after 3

 

[Buzzbomb]

Typically, GT doesn’t surrender 62 in a game. Not like we aren’t playing defense.
If they hit another 10-14, like the third period....well it’s been a nice season.

In general, women’s college b-ball does not see a lot of lower seeds (higher number) beating higher seeds (lower number) historically, as compared to the men’s tourney. That has been my take watching both for years & years. I have always wondered if this is mainly about the talent drop once you go below the 1 & 2 seeds in the women’s game. Or, is there another element? Psyche of being a lower seed? Does anyone want to make an attempt at explaining this seemingly significant difference between the 2 tourneys? There are even way more close contests in the mens’ tournament between low seeds & high seeds.

I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I estimate we’ve missed 18 shots from within 3 feet.
