March Madness: Spiders vs Georgia Tech

[plydogg]

Let’s get a dedicated thread for the accomplishment the ladies made this season. Roussell has kicked ass and so many of these players have made sacrifices for the greater good of the team. Big shoutout to Addie Budnik for the role she played on this team, so much happens because of her.

I just purchased my ticket to the game. $25 for GA, so I’m getting there at open and sitting as low down as possible.

My coworker’s younger sister starts for UCLA, so that would be a really fun matchup in the second round. Time for the women to get the first tourney win in program history.

GO SPIDERS!

GT got 8 points in this week's AP poll after being ranked as high as #13 earlier in the season. Currently #29 in the NET compared to us at #33.

They're 1–7 in Q1 with their sole win being at UNC. No Q3/Q4 losses. They have lost 6 of their last 8, but only lost to top seed NC State by a point in the quarters of the ACC tournament.

Spiders open up as -2.5 favorite

Nate Silver has crunched the numbers and rates it a toss-up at 50.2% to 49.8% in favor of the Spiders. Regardless of who wins, he gives them only a 2.5% of winning the next game to get to the Sweet Sixteen.

Will be an interesting game as GT appears to be strong on defense. Opponents only score 64 a game on them and they only allow opponents to shoot 29% from 3, which is our strong point. They have good size, which is comparable to UR. Key will be shooting for UR. We will need to hit 3's as I don't think we make enough 2's with GT defense to beat them. If we can make 10's - which is about UR average on the season, we should feel pretty good.

Good luck to the ladies. From the interviews, it sounds like they really wanted a trip out to LA. Hope they can get the first NCAA win as the new program milestone.
