7pm. Pac-12 network.

Since they are a National story with a legit chance at a National Championship, I’ll try to make a thread for each game moving forward. You guys might need to remind me to make the threads because I don’t follow the schedule.

Go Lady Beavs!

  1. This will be a good road trip for the team, win or lose. Tonight we’ll hopefully we see an end to the slow offensive start, better transition D, and good pressure on Plum.

    I’m going to make the trip for the Stanford game at the end of the month. Get out there and support this team.

  2. No Gabby Hanson tonight.
    I asked Gina twice about her status after the last game because I noticed her on the bench at the end of the game with a towel over her head and not participating in cheering on her teammates. And now, in her story for tonight she finally lets us know that Gabby, “is not dressed for pregame warmups after sustaining an undisclosed injury against UCLA Monday night.”
    A bummer on several levels.
    Go Gals!

  3. Hell of an ending to the half, Husky gal did good.
    That 3 by Gibson was no surprise, that is her favorite spot on the floor.
    Lids comin off for LadyBeavs next half….book it!

  4. I know I’ve said this about 5 games in a row, but the slow starts have to end. A terrible start like this could lead to getting blown out in the NCAA tournament. Of the things I said we’ll hopefully see tonight, none of them have happened. Won’t be surprised if they lose this.

  5. Telecasters even getting on the refs…you know it’s bad then.

    I hate to complain about refs, but man, these are some of the worst I have seen. The only calls they’ve gotten right so far are travels.

  6. I take it the women are about to drop one on the road? No P-12 Network for me and I don’t know if my Ukranian friends provide links to women’s games.

  7. Hanson might have made a difference, but still, Beavs didn’t play well. 37% from the field and 69% from the line ain’t gonna do it very often. Very surprised to see no improvement in shooting in the second half.
    Damn, you gotta respect the guts shown by Jamie and Deven; no hesitation to get physical.

  8. PEKO sighting: Gina tweets, “I got an email from a reader asking about Kyle Peko today. It’s the song that never ends! (I saw Peko at offseason workouts last week, btw)”

  9. Maybe our segregation of them by calling them female/women/lady Beavs caused them to think they were insufficient as Beavs… whatever that means.

    tee hee….

  10. UW shot lights out. Late in 2nd half, they were over 50% FG. Major props to the Beavs physical play, especially Jamie Wiesner and Devan Hunter. We had tix down low and those two gals were mixing it up and fighting for every loose ball. Also, kudos to Mandy Close and Ruth Hamblin for taking time after the game to get a photo with my daughter. After a tough loss, they were both gracious and interactive with the Beaver fans up here in Seattle.

  11. I didn’t see much of the game but it looked like the perimeter defenders were having trouble guarding the huskies’ quickness and Hamblin never gave help fast enough. On the offensive end Hamblin had a hard time with the physical nature of the huskie defenders. They were leaning on Hamblin pretty good and when she pushed back the huskie flopped and Hamblin was called for the foul. If I would’ve been in Scott’s shoes I would’ve taken a T there if only to get my point across.

    In the end, the huskies shot the ball very well and the Beavs not so much.

    • That’s what I hate about basketball and why I never really got into it. Half the sport is predicated on fouls and flops.

      Heck, at least soccer is mostly predicated on only flops.

        • I think refereeing basketball is probably harder than football, and therefore good basketball refs are harder to come by. Bad refereeing in a basketball game is much harder to overcome.

          • Bend, saw the game with your Boilermakers at the Barn. Really a fun game, but what should have been an easy win turned into a nail biter due some improbable shooting by Purdue and missing the front end of one and ones our our side. Goph’s got killed by offensive rebounds but got seventeen steals. Our coach summed it up in his own smart ass way perfectly, “things were looking good and then they started banking in threes.” Last few minutes Purdue hit seven threes on including two BANKED in tres by the same guy LOL. The best one, however, didn’t count. At the end of the first half with the clock at two seconds a guy launches a 65 footer and gets nothing but net! Unfortunately Painter called a TO a split second earlier. Wild game and the roof almost came off the old place a few times.

          • There was lots of yelling in my house with all those turnovers. I think Painter was trying to call that TO a little earlier. The gophs were well prepared with their press that Purdue often struggles against, and their zone really clogged the lane for our bigs. It would’ve been a nice road win, oh well.

      • Shall we go out and kick someone who is at a full trot in football? Let’s just call it a trip.

        Those aren’t dirty plays in football. Nobody would think twice about them, especially when fat people are lying on the ground writhing in pain… because they got kicked in the fucking legs while they were running at full speed… or any speed.

        But they’re your flops in soccer. So they must be painless.

        And running non-stop for miles is just wimpy compared to fat people who run 500 yards on a good day… with breaks every six yards or so… just because breaks are so exciting.

          • “If I wanted to watch someone struggle to score for 90 minutes, I’d take my friends to the bar”

            I’m with you. Watching soccer is equal to watching paint dry or grass grow. Thank god neither of my sons play or desire to. I’m not going to argue that they aren’t athletes because imo they are. But the sport itself, well. It just flat ass sucks due to being boring. If I wanted to watch people just run around, I’d sit in my front lawn and watch the joggers running by. Speaking if running or jogging, I’ll take it up when I see someone smiling while doing it.

          • I admit I find the part where they sprinkle a line of pixie dust, all line up, and cover their junk while some guy kicks a ball at them almost slightly amusing

            almost

          • Shall I also post videos for all the college football fake injuries too? Those are even better than the above.

            Yes… we’re talking about you Vontaze.

          • I love just about every sport out there. I’m a competition junkie. Hell, I did science bowls and olympiads and math contests and spelling bees in school because I loved the competition… and getting out of school. Between all the sports and science/math/English competitions I was on the road for about 25% of my HS class days.

            But if I had to choose my favorite sport, I would go with hurling. That sport is fun to watch.

            Soccer and football are about equal when it comes to viewing. The only difference is that when a soccer game is bad there will be a lot of scoring. A bad football game is an overwhelming majority of football games out there.

  12. the three teams remaining in a 3-way tie for third all play Sunday. Beavs host hussies, ducks host coogars and USC plays Stanford at Maples. All home teams are favored to win. UCLA’s loss to Cal drops them to 6-5. Bears are playing very well in winning 4 in a row. Competition? Maybe. 4 wins are over WSU and UW (road), UCLA and USC at home. 3 of those games came down to the final possession.

  13. Beaver softball is 5-0 in the Kajilawa Invitatonal in AZ this weekend. Wins against ol’ Miss, U of Pacific, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Nevada. Chance to run the table this morning vs. Cal Poly and finish 6-0. Great start to the new season!
