This gives me pause for today, esp without their #3  - a big forward.....  

=  wait-n-see! but leaning to Texas if they play well and the boxscore metrics favor them

 

@fubah2

  that girl for texas is playing today   

 does that change anything ?

PASS!!   Texas experiencing their own "one-off" - being badly outplayed by WolfPack........MAYBE in the latter stages of the 2h ....maybe..... but for now, I'm off it even getting big points because they just are not playing well at all an_speechless....

Normally it would have me strongly leaning Texas had I noticed that early......but now, they are being so badly outplayed that I don't see them coming back even with her.... They look listless.   They need to get on a huge momentum roll, then the points might be worth it....

@KellyM_1964

 Thanks, bud peace_5 They seemed overvalued to me against a very competitive team. So my "wait-n-see" approach, which I have incorporated into my revised capping methods since Feb 13, paid off bigly on that one.

They're trying, but NC State seems to have an answer each time....Box score metrics heavily favor NC State for a SU win.....9 pt lead at timeout....but more importantly looking ahead to the furious final couple mins, NCSate can hit free throws AND 3s!...Texas is failing badly on both those crucial issues - and foul issues!! - for late in any game expected to be close!! Big edge to NC State, although If TEXAS goes on another big run that momentum could be the diff

2.5 mins into the 4th Q and NCState have increased their lead from 9 to 11....they answer Texas every time....  Texas owns the boards and as such get plenty of second shot opps but they aren't making them....NC State far more efficient

MONDAY night 7 pm ET...MUST SEE TV!

 

Unfriendly rematch!! an_punch

 

Defending Champ LSU   vs   Caitlyn Clark

 

My bet:  HAWKEYES -125   

an_light...but this is NOT a Best Bet.

The line is IOWA -1.5 or -125 and that's because this one can realistically go either way! an_getaway  I'll be ready to hedge if need be!

 Close call there bud.  The game is basically a coin-flip.

LSU has the bigs an a solid inside presence but mediocre from the arc.

IOWA does not have bigs and post play not part of their repertoire, however they are dynamic from 3 pt range and have 3 good shooters!

 

LSU has 2 starters who put up a lot of 3s and hit at least 36%

IOWA has 4 starters like that, making it difficult to key on any one.

LSU averages 4.3 made 3-pointers per game

 

IOWA averages 11.0

I think this game comes down to TWO things:

fouls

3-pointers made

 

Predictions:

*IF* either team has at least one HIGH-SCORING starter in early foul trouble with 2.....or with 3 by HT or very shortly after intermission, they are in big trouble.

As a former referee I can confirm they are going over some things now in the ref room....ie, how tight or loose do they want to be, what to look for, etc.... A tightly called game likely favors the HAWKEYES since they play O mostly from the perimeter and allowing the LSU to score from the paint isn't a huge deal if the HAWKEYE O can keep scoring 3's.....

 

an_light*IF* IOWA hits 7 3's by HT,  they ultimately win.....if 6 by HT, they still have a great chance....if 5 then it's a coin-flip....if 4 or less by HT, it's over for the Hawkeyes unless LSU gets into serious foul trouble...
