Well done Lady Buffs! Thanks 'Nik.
The best thing with Lappe is I think she knows exactly what she is doing, and she is very young. She could be here for 40+ years if she is successful. Would love to be competitive with the likes of stanford by the time 2013 rolls around.
Ouch. Way to get the win. That is a rough performance.
Thanks again Nik

That was one u-g-l-y game. But as they say, survive and advance at this time of year.
That is the way UNC plays. They don't have a good offense so they focus on defense. They trap the ball handler on a sideline; they take a ball going out of bounds and bounce it off a Buff so they get to keep the ball; they get into passing lanes and pick off passes if there is any laziness on the pass or the receiver does not move to the pass; etc. etc.
And unfortunately the Buffs don't really have a point guard on this team. Chucky handles the most but she is susceptible to pressure causing her to turn it over. BWill played some point tonight and had the same problem. Even tried Lexy Kresl at the point some tonight. Thus the huge number of Buff turnovers tonight.
Fortunately the Buffs also brought their smothering defense to the game and shut down UNC. I think the Big Sky conference player of the year was #3 for UNC and late in the second half she had 4 fouls and still 0 points.
The Buffs also need to pay attention to their own shooting. A few too many missed lay-ups after steals.... looked to me like they rushed some of those shots.
Next game is all TBD at this point ... don't know who, when, or where yet. Will know the answers after tomorrow's South Dakota / Drake game.

I didn't see any more students than have typically been at WBB games this season. Or were they not sitting in the student section?

They decided to let everyone go because of the early wake up call. But I was there and you DEFINITELY saw me. All I can say is you are welcome for the entertainment.

Looking at RPI, Sagarin, and their records, the better team appears to be South Dakota, so we want Drake to get the upset. But, unfortunately, CU may end up travelling for the next game regardless of who wins tomorrow. The attendance at tonights game was poor....less than half of the seasons average. And the WNIT seems to award home games to the team that has the better fan attendance. So the poor showing tonight may have cost our Buffs any chance of hosting in the next round.

I watched the game online. Since I live in Iowa, I am hoping we play Drake in Des Moines so I can go to the game!!!!
UNC had 23 steals. Yes, you read that correctly. 23 steals. We did not take care of the ball.
We had more balanced scoring this game, but we need more points.
It's sad that this late in the season, CU does not know how to handle a zone defense.
CU held UNC's best player to 2 FTs. Probably the only reason they won the game.

He cheated. He didn't have his head down on (or near) the bat. As someone who knows a fair amount about spinning, I can tell you that that makes a huge difference. You did it the way you're supposed to and achieved the intended outcome. Unfortunately, your opponent did not.
I'm kind of ashamed that the AllBuffs representative didn't cheat. WTF have we sunk to?

Unfortunately South Dakota won. And their attendance for tonights game was 1361 versus the Buffs 1064 last night. So it sounds like the ladies will probably get to take their show on the road to Vermillion this weekend.
