Reigan Richardson, Duke rally past Ohio State, reach Sweet 16

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Reigan Richardson scored 28 points and added seven rebounds as No. 7 seed Duke rallied from a 16-point first-half deficit to beat No. 2 Ohio State 75-63 on Sunday and earn a spot in the Sweet 16 of the women's NCAA tournament for the first time since 2018.

Home game - In Your Face! OSU was favored by 8.5.

... Duke's upset win was only the second time in the tournament that a lower seeded team had won. The better seeds were 31-1 in the opening round....

That's , especially compared to the men. OSU was ranked AP #7, Duke was (30) with just 7 votes.

Duke will play 3 UConn or 6 Syracuse in the Sweet 16. GoCinderellaDukeGo

[O Really]

Four real ACC teams in Sweet Sixteen, plus Aztecs. Yay for four of them. Go Arizona.

Go Arizona. Go SDSU.

Yep, 3 NC plus Clemson What is a "real" ACC team?

[O Really]

What is a "real" ACC team?

Pre-Georgia Tech in 1978.
Would've included the teams they used to call "Tobacco Row" as well as traitors South Carolina and Maryland.

Or alternatively, any time before the great influx of BC, Syracuse, et. al. Nothing against any of those schools, but the original members just seem more "real" to this particular geezer.

I thought that you meant 'not Notre Dame'.

NC has more teams in the Sweet 16 than the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 or PAC-12 does, and its 3 teams are only matched by 3 from the Big East.

Wish they threw her out.

Fuck off, Perloff. IF not intentional it was so reckless as to merit the penalty called. Good to see Clark bounce right back, and even sink the 2 FTs. She finished with 27, low for her, but a double-double with 10 assists Her passing is incredible. Iowa was favored by 38.5 Final 91-65

And eight rebounds, almost a triple double. She kicked ass.

I used to be sorta a fan of his when he was with Dan Patrick, wouldn't surprise me if he said it for clicks.

He's getting roasted on Twitter.

Whose "Bust day and night", and won't she be distracting when you're trying to watch some damn ballgames?

So funny.
It’s amazing to me that you can be aware of some degree of cheating that that has followed every sports at all levels since the beginning of sports and still belittle me for pointing out blatant obvious examples of referee interference, both in favor of Alabama and against Auburn .

If I’m wrong, show me, but this comment is belittling and offensive.
