WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL NEWS

In the AP poll this week the B1G has 2 in the top 4! Maryland comes in at #2 and Indiana is at #4. This is huge for the B1G! Iowa stays at #8. Michigan moved to #12 and Ohio State stayed at #21.
 
Indiana lost to the defending National Champion 69-66. Grace Berger missed 2 free throws with 8 seconds left to tie it at 68.
 
Maryland was without 3 starters today against NC State. Looks like Maryland doesn't have the depth to fill the voids. Maryland has played back to back games shorthanded while managing to come away with a split.
 
The B1G/ACC challenge started with the ACC Taking 4 of the 6 games played so far. The best game of the day was between Georgia Tech and Purdue. Quite entertaining with a buzzer beater for the Purdue win. 8 more games will be played this evening. IOWA/DUKE, INDIANA/NC STATE and MICHIGAN/LOUISVILLE to name a few.
 
The B1G/ACC Challenge ended tonight with the ACC hammering the B1G. The B1G only managed 2 wins against 6 losses. Lots of work to do for the B1G to come back in the standings. Hawks looked like what a team with 2 weeks off with only 2 practices before ther game with Duke. Hawks will rebound and pound MSU Sunday!
 
U Conn's Paige Bueckers went down with a left leg injury while playing against Notre Dame. With under a minute left in the game, the sophomore star collapsed to the floor in obvious pain and had to be carried to the bench by 2 teammates..

U Conn's Azzi Fudd also out for a couple of weeks with a foot injury.

U Conn played their first game without Paige B. against Georgia Tech this evening and lost. Georgia Tech 57 U Conn 44.
 
I’m not surprised. It’s going to take some time . They relied on Paige to not only initiate offense, but to take the big shots. Eventually Geno will get it adjusted.
 
Paige Beckers underwent surgery to repair an anterior tibial fracture but also an unannounced/undisclosed lateral meniscus tear. They are saying 8 weeks recovery time. Sounds a little optimistic.
 
Morgan State vs. Kentucky that was scheduled for 12-17 was postponed. Penn State vs. Towson has also been cancelled. Duke vs. Loyola Maryland scheduled for Saturday has also been canceled. Several other games also have been canceled. COVID issues.
 
#6 Louisville beat #7 U Conn 69-64.
#15 Duke vs. Maimi Fla. Miami had to forfeit and Duke got the win.
Rice vs. Texas A & M was cancelled.
