Yes. Purdue's floor defense seemed to struggle to keep up.
Yes. This point seems like it could be key to the match. Super-fast offense...means tiring quickly? It was amazing, and then it got less-amazing.
Yes. Yes!
Shout out to Anna for her awesome cross court set to Franklin last night for a kill. One of the many doubles that didn't get called last night. :-) |

One of the many doubles that didn't get called last night. :-) Many more for them it seemed than us but you are correct. About animated as I’ve seen Sheffield. Well those and in the replay where the psu girl was arguing about it hitting her hair and our girls were saying it hit her. That was good entertainment. |

Did you know…? There are over 100 species of ducks, divided into three categories: Dabbling ducks, who stick their bottoms up in the water while searching for food below the surface; Diving ducks, who dive fully below the water surface in search of food; and Perching ducks, who nest in trees and sit on high branches. Green-headed mallards are dabbling ducks.  A mallard drake and hen in bottom-up dabbling positionAll ducks are capable of a trick that has eluded college students for centuries: The ability to sleep with only half of their brain at a time, a practice called unihemispheric slow-wave sleep. This phenomenon was observed and documented by then-PhD candidate Niels Rattenborg during his doctoral studies at Indiana State University in 1999. Dr. Rattenborg and his fellow researchers monitored the eye movement and electrical activity of the brain hemispheres of mallard ducks as they slept in rows of four. Yes, they really did do EEGs on those little green duck heads. They found that while the ducks in the middle of the row closed both eyes and allowed both halves of their brains to sleep, the "sentinel" ducks on either end kept their outward-facing eyes open and the contralateral (opposite-side) halves of their brain awake. By observing their responses to threatening visual stimuli presented to the open eye - the ducks "rapidly initiated escape behaviors" - the researches concluded that ducks have evolved the ability for unihemispheric sleep as a predator detection function. Wow, dunno if this is ur usual standard but whatever it was you have outdone urself! Really enjoyed reading this 😊 |

I'm curious why you wouldn't include Morgan Lewis for Oregon and Orzol/Ashburn for Wisconsin in the 'players to watch' section. Are they not impact players? |

Friday Links & Fun Facts bump! I'll update the stats link when StatBroadcast posts the actual link for the game - probably tomorrow. It was Round 1 of the tourney in 2015, not Round 2. WORST DRAW EVER and a terrible job by the Committee. |

If Oregon's defense shows up, this will be an incredible game, otherwise it might be a repeat of Penn State Fun Fact:
Franklin hit .189 and Smrek hit .143 last night; .268 for the team as a whole. The Badgers averaged around .311 for the season. Still, they sided-out @ 70.8%. Bring that defense Ducks. I'm guessing The Badgers will bring their entire offense.
the only thing I'm worried about is how the pass to Pukis will be but otherwise I think this is a good matchup and I'm excited |
