WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

Iowa just lost to Ohio State 100-92 in overtime. Iowa was up by ten in the 4th quarter.
I watched about the last minutes of that game. Of course it was great to see Iowa lose but I noticed after a little bit that they weren't breaking for commercials as much and it made it actually fun to watch. I don't watch much men's basketball because the games are unwatchable with the mandatory breaks every half. And I think the mandatory breaks for the women's games are fewer. If that's the case I might watch more. But it also may have had something to do with the fact that the game was starting to eat into the NFL pre-game show so the network brass didn't want to delay the ending.
 
They are crappy FG% overall but not crappy from three. Tech is shooting 37% from three in league play. That's #2 in the league just behind our 38%. They run hot and cold but you can't say their normal is crappy. We aren't a great defensive team. TT made the open threes vs us and looks to have missed them vs BYU since BYU is not great on D either.
The player that killed us from outside definitely regressed to her norm.

New polls are out

#4 Kansas State. Don't see that as sustainable. Do these voters even know Lee is out?
#10 Texas. Okay, I get this one.
#13 Baylor. Seems #15 or #16 might be more accurate.
#24 West Virginia. Not sure I am buying this. They look GREAT against crap teams. Not so good versus good teams.

Iowa State is only Big 12 team in the "receiving votes category", essentially #28.

WTF was Walker doing chucking up that 3 with like 9 seconds left?

Woof. Baylor pissed that down their leg. K State snuck away with one for sure.
 
Thanks for nothing Baylor. Pee'd away your chance to close to within a game and move us into a tie for first. Baylor = less than the sum of their parts.

I don't think there's really a chance we finish ahead of KSU anyway in the standings so I'll take a Baylor loss to push them further away from us.

Men have four scheduled breaks (under 16, 12, 8, 4). Women have three (Qtr, under 5 in each Qtr).

Baylor last night was a repeat of their performance in Ames. They played well for 35 minutes and fell apart over the last five minutes, costing them the ballgame.

They don't have a go-to player in the final minutes, and it showed again last night.

Baylor lost 3 out of the last 4, the last loss being bad comedy bb, in their new arena, as mega-donors, watched. This can not be great job security for Nikki Collen. Conference last UCF almost started the head roll. Guess we have to take out KSU on our own.

It's contender or pretender week in the Big 12 as we hit the halfway mark this weekend. 1st place KSU stayed undefeated by beating Baylor at Waco. Baylor seems have fallen to pretender.

Tonight
OU @ true contender Texas. OU with only one loss but haven't played much of a schedule.
One loss ISU at Kansas in first of two stay as a contender games this week.

Saturday/Sunday
ISU @ WVU. WVU only game of the week before moving back to cupcakes the Big 12 gifted them.
Cinic @ Texas. Woof, Texas for sure.
BYU @ KSU. KSU proves it.
Kansas @ OU - Back to Sooners playing the lower or mid-tier.
Baylor @ OSU - meh
