Posting History (537)

This is more of a loss than I think people realize

She had potential to grow into a great role player. Tough loss. Hate to see it but wish her the best.

I'm beginning to wonder how we beat UVA twice this year

If we went on the road to Iowa, at least a 20 point loss. Very impressive game by UVA. If you would have told me the Hoos were gonna go to the Sweet 16 this year, I would have asked you to put the pipe down. Also, Iowa's team and fan base are kinda annoying, so may or may not have had moments where I was okay with the Hoos winning. Forgive me, I promise I'm still a Hokie.

I know but they collapsed at the end of the year

I know they played one of the toughest schedules in the country, but they finished 8-8 in the SEC, and lost their first round game in their conference tourney. They also don't have that many big wins. I still stand by that they should not have be in the tourney. NC State is smacking them right now, by the way.

Was the 8/9 seed expected?

Haven’t been following as much since ACC tourney. I was hoping for 10. Somehow, I knew we would get the 8/9. Texas took it to South Carolina. If we only lost by 20, it’s a victory. They are a national championship team. Gotta beat Oregon first though. Either way, happy to be dancing.

It’s also much different in a neutral site.

They are more athletic and bigger. But if we could put the ball in the basket, we still could have been it.

Much different being down 13 to Carolina at halftime.

We already have to play the refs. If we can’t put the ball in the basket, we getting blown out.

We ain’t winning this game

I hope everyone can look back at this post and go off on me. I want to be wrong.

The officiating sucks

But it doesn’t change the fact that we can’t shoot tonight.

Clearly they want a Louisville- Carolina matchup.

But we all saw this coming. Either way, we need to put the ball in the basket. That’s the point of the game.

Okay, let’s be serious.

If we beat UNC tonight, I do not foresee us beating Louisville. I know, I know, UVA did, but if they play like this, ain’t happening and that’s not a knock on Duffy and the girls. Not many teams beating them when they play like they have tonight. I do think Syracuse’s record is deceiving but still… Tonight is most likely our championship and our comfortable ticket to the dance…

You are correct. She knows she’s going to get the call.

And with her being the face of the ACC - the refs are going to give her the calls. But it gets quite annoying. The announcers will not stop talking about her. I think Fournier is more skilled, although she plays a different position. But I see Fournier get mugged and no calls, and I do believe she was good enough to be ACC player of the year but it’s not appealing enough.

I believe I speak for most on this board when I say…

Go Wolfpack! Hidalgo might be the most annoying player in women’s college basketball.

We gotta move on

Myself included. I’m not saying I’m not guilty of being petty towards Brooks too. But Duffy is our coach now and she’s done magic with this team - win or lose tonight. My only concern with her is recruiting but I think we will be fine. But on a side note - how are they #17 with 10 losses? I know SEC is a different style and tough conference but so is ACC.

Why are we rushing everything

We have a lead. 3 mins left. Good lord, like watching a bunch of squirrels out there

There’s no denying how much this team has developed this year.

And it’s Mackie Nelson keeping us alive. I know we wouldn’t be anywhere without Baker or Wentzel, but wow, they disappear sometimes. Just too inconsistent. I hope they come alive this 4th quarter. But if we play like this against UNC, we are smoked.

I feel like it’s being officiated differently this quarter.

And it’s very obvious what GT gameplan is. Drive to the basket and hope for a foul.

She’s such a mystery

So unpredictable. I think Carleigh is our only hope to get back in it and she’s great but also hard to predict. Lordy, could not have asked for a worse start. I hope we settle in.

My wild prediction

If we win tonight, which isn’t a guarantee at all, we will upset UNC and Cuse will upset Louisville. And then we beat Syracuse and are in the championship game. Lol. Ya never know?? I think NC State is gonna surprise everyone and win it all.

She is obnoxious

And her partner in crime who left for TCU is just as annoying.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a player fall down without getting touched

Like Hidalgo. And get the whistle every time. She knows it too. It’s wild. I actually think she’s one of the most overrated players in the league.

Who comes up with these court designs?

Everyone always trying to be so innovative and edgy. Just keep it simple. It makes it not even fun to watch.

If they called the foul on us, we would be complaining.

I really do believe the officiating led to the change of momentum and UVAs comeback. They were bad both ways.

She can coach.

It doesn’t matter but I have a feeling if Brooks was coaching this team, we would not be seeing the same results.

I believe the officiating crew was terrible both ways

If you don’t believe refs can dictate the outcome of a game, here’s your proof. Just happy it finally went our way.

They did but I still think we will win this

There will be laughable calls but we are better. How did they beat Loserville??

She drives me crazy

And I’ve been hard on her. But still believe she’s the best player on the team.
