GAME THREAD: #3 seed MICHIGAN vs #10 S. Dakota (ESPN 2)
Just about time for the opening tip.
GO BLUE!
I like the women's attempt at the Elite Eight much better
First time behind, wow! Get used to it, yotes!
Granny Hilmon lookin' good!
Need those fouls called on the other end. Letting them get too good position though. Kiser's usually an elite defender.
Number 34 for SD is a load. Tough to stop if she gets the ball down low.
Leila!!!
First foul of the quarter on SD
I would like to see a replay of the BS charge call
Was light contact, but she had established herself. Phelia's got to be able to use her athleticism to stop and pull up for a short jumper there. The tao of Leigha Brown, basically.
That's what they need to keep doing, running it...
SoDak has no bench. UM has to run them off the court, and win it in the 4th
Leila working up a glisten...
man, all of South Dakota is here,..,.
Gotta like that reach in. Not sure it was a foul, though
Committed some really dumb fouls here.
Dumb foul. 1.6 seconds left and she was losing the ball
Honestly that sentence applies to the vast majority of drives in the women's game that aren't to an open rim. Avoid fouls, move your feet, and stand straight up. Avoid contact. It ends up being a collision and always a foul. You don't need to block it.
not a smart last 30 seconds but at least it's close
I know SD is closer to Witchita than Michigan but it's weird seeing an opposing team's fans overwhelm our fans. Kudos to SD. I was at hockey in Allentown yesterday and there seemed to be 8-10x more Michigan fans than AIC fans.
925 miles from AA to witchita, only a 400 mile drive for the coyotes. and in s. dakota, a 400 mile drive isn't much more than 'next door'.
This is going to be a tough game to win if we don't hit our threes. Naz is going to have Coyotes in her face down in the paint; they aren't going to let her beat them. I wish Naz had an outside shot, they give her plenty of room away from the paint.
The fan show out is so bad.
Can they just call one foul??? It can’t be all Michigan sports can it? GO BLUE!! Just Win Ladies!!!
Run Run Run! Run them off the court!
I’ve watched 2 straight basketball games where people in Michigan jerseys can’t make bunnies
Oh no...it's the bunnies again
Damn, what a pass by Dilk.
Dilk can make bad decisions and be a turnover shit show but I don't think anyone on the team is more skilled at feeding Naz.
I really wonder what we look like if her knees had held up.
yes! Naz doin' Naz things!
Here we go ladies, keep it up!
Naz working the refs! Gotta love it.
Amy Dilk with some great minutes in this tournament.
up 5 now, showing some life. go blue, go ladies
Didn't need the foul from Kiser, Naz had made that shot super hard. We have taken some dumb ones in this game.
What a sequence by Dilk!
Naz: fuck your double. Got Sjervin's third, which is big.
Nice to get 34 out of the game, she's a difference maker...
killing them on the boards, 31-18
Called four these four ladies to be on the floor together earlier…hope they stretch the lead out
Bad call. That OOB was clearly off SoDak
This game wouldn't be close if Nolan were not doing a Houstan impersonation.
Oooh. That's a two for one!
She hit one - I give KBA credit for giving her the green light.
We've made what, three jumpers the whole game? Two threes from Phelia and then a free throw line from Dilk.
They, on the other hand are money with them, especially when running out of time, sheesh!
They look shook!! Come on, lfg!!!
Ugly end to the 3rd.
These officials are shit, and Michigan’s shooting sucks.
It seems to be par for the course for WBB.
