WBB vs Kansas NCAAT on ESPNews
Well, the beer stein holding competition is over. WBB is about to start (~2 PM ET).
Let's Go Blue! Beat them Jayhawks!
Just tuned in to the pregame and then here to check for a game thread. Thanks IBMNB
〽️GO BLUE 💙!
Did you catch the last few minutes of the Ohio stein holding championship that was on ESNP News just before this? Strangest sport I've accidentally encountered this week
And an old guy won with a time of 9min 2s.
Yeah, but just the final 5 minutes. Wasn't sure what the heck I was watching 🧐
Let's Go Blue! A win over KU in basketball is always sweet - let's get it!
Finally a basket! By Laila!
Don't love how good their post defender looks. We'll need to hit some threes
I guess we're getting our post shot misses out of the way early.
Yay, Laila drew a foul on the drive.
Yay, now the rest of the team has tied Layla with 2 baskets.
Srsly tho, the others need to start making some more shots.
Who says Michigan basketball isn’t great in March. Six years in a row for KBA and the women’s team. Go Blue!
Michigan by 1, 11-10, after a low scoring, tight defense first quarter.
Good to see Hansen hit that 3 after missing her previous shot badly.
Ugh, scoring drought.
2 fouls on KU's Jackson.
Hobbes for 3!!!
Then Brett!!!
KU with some early foul trouble. We'll need to capitalize.
[Edit] Then backup big got her 3rd.
Michigan up by 3 at half, 32-29. KU had hot shooting the first half of quarter; Michigan weathered it well, and warmed up in latter part of the quarter to regain the lead. One half to go!!
32-29 half…Michigan. Way to go, women!
32-29 U-M at the half.
It would be good to avoid long scoring droughts in the 2nd half.
[Edit] I am also concerned that the refs will want to "even it up" and call a bunch of fouls on us. I missed it, but Laila has 2.
Juwan's in attendance.
Great to see him there!
We have another former coach that has residence in Southern California. Is he at the game or is he finishing up the garage sale back in AA?
Hansen for 3!!! Nice start.
Nice D from Hobbes to draw the charge after our turnover.
Cam goin' to work. Now with 12 pts.
Theres 8 stations airing men and womens basketball this weekend and I get 7 of those, the one Michigan is currently playing on being the lone outlier -_-
46-39 U-M after Evans' three. Cam has 14 pts, rough start, but has made 5 of her last 6 shots.
Is the arc in the paint not a factor for WBB?
53-44 U-M after 3Q.
Great 3rd period--- Let's finish!
Cam with 18 pts (!), Laila just got to 11 with that bucket.
Michigan is on the move. 9 point lead. GoBlue
51-44. Beat Kansas. (And may Kansas keep losing.)
Go, Blue!
Great 3rd quarter! One more to go!
D'oh! Laila telegraphed that pass. Gotta take better care of the ball, don't give them anything easy.
Shit. Cam with 4 fouls now.
Rats. KU draws a shooting foul, cuts lead to 4, 60-56 U-M. 4:35 left.
Laila answers!
KU hits 3, then Brett does.
Nail biter. Bummed we couldn’t close out, now its down to the wire.
KU drawing fouls, at the line down 4, 2:33 left.
65-62 U-M.
KBA calls TO, 2:15 left.
Keep it goin'! 2:15 to go. Go, Blue.
Laila!
67-62
1:57 remaining
Winning time… Phelia time
