The last two 3’s by the @LVAces were a direct result of the fear Chennedy Carter’s driving ability strikes in defenses. Her quick decision to pass off her drive left Gray and Loyd wide open.
After a breast cancer diagnosis, Florida State coach Brooke Wyckoff had given up on the idea that she would become a mom again. A text message from her sister, who then became her surrogate, helped Wyckoff’s dream come true. https://t.co/zvfZOj1qsB
Richmond is not passing the “eye test” today. The Spiders have had some offensive clunkers this season and this is another one with 26 points in 25 minutes in the A-10 semis.
Bad news for bubble teams. Columbia just grabbed the Ivy AQ for now with a 2nd win over Princeton. The Tigers are still an at-large for now, which takes away an at-large spot—ASU falls out.
This is not a criticism of the data. It’s just an observation. Vanderbilt’s NET ranking stayed the same (7) after last night’s win. No improvement. And the Commodores are 3-0 against the teams directly in front of them (Texas (4), LSU (5), Michigan (6).
I’m not sure I have seen a young guard play with as much confidence against the outstanding Texas defense as @VandyWBB Aubrey Galvan. She is unbothered by anything.
Madison Booker had one field goal and Texas wins by double digits against a really good Kentucky team. As good as Texas is I did have that on the prediction board. That’s what defense can do.
Too many turnovers and too many missed free throws but Kentucky is still in this game with Texas and a real opportunity to steal one in a tough place to play.
BRACKETOLOGY: The new year has brought some big upsets, a shake-up of the top 16 seeds and a new-look Bracketology.
Up: Texas Tech, Michigan State move into top 16
Down: Notre Dame, North Carolina out of top 16
In: Duke returns to field

Well, 2026 is certainly off to a zany start. In the last 3 days No. 5, 6, 7, 8 in the most recent AP poll have gone down. Three of those teams had been undefeated. Strap in for a wild ride. The scramble for No. 2, 3, 4 seeds is full throttle.
Huge win and upset by @IlliniWBB over Maryland. Major addition to the resume, but an even bigger stunner happened nearly simultaneously with Georgia Tech taking down Notre Dame.
@philbrick_w Stephen, I think the issue is misinterpretation of Bracketology. It’s a snap shot of the current state, what the bracket would like if the bracket was selected today. How many .500 teams have ever been an 8-9 seed?
