WBB Results of the Week.
Hey, this UConn @ South Carolina game is really exciting. After one quarter, it is on track to a 44-8 trouncing of UConn.
So. Car. in particular seems to have no 3pt shooter, as they had plenty of opportunities to choose a 3 and didn't.
2nd quarter showed more offense. So. Carolina found that 3's work.
In the 3rd quarter, one of the announcers said "South Carolina, one of 4 different top-ranked teams in the country. UConn was another earlier in the year. Oregon and Baylor have held the top spot." Obviously a note they prepared before the game. Do you think they could get it right?
Final So. Carolina 70-52 (at So Carolina). UConn got to within 12 or so, but it was too late.
To compare, Oregon beat UConn 74-56, at UConn.

At this point, ESPNUconn has no argument for a top seed. Except the name on the jersey.
Their best win is against RPI #20 Depaul. Then #26 Ohio State.
They've played three opponents in the top 10, and lost by an average of 15 17 points. Two of those games were at home.
They have no remaining games against a team in the RPI top-50. Because no one else in their league is in the RPI top-50.
That's the resume of a small-conference 3 or 4 seed. A Gonzaga or a Missouri State, a really good team in a 1-bid league.
But if anyone, especially in Oregon or Maryland, loses in the next three weeks, they'll start talking about it again.

OSU freshman Kennedy Brown out for season with torn ACL, feel bad for her, nice young lady. OSU has also had some bad luck last 2 years with injuries.

Referees and injuries--the two things that can suck a lot of the fun out of this game.
So here is a question. How is it that when an Oregon State player is injured, there are banner headlines about her status for the rest of the season, but when a Stanford player is injured, the information is locked in that special NSC safe in the basement of the Whitehouse?

Relative priorities. Is the player's privacy more important than satisfying fans curiosity? I'm ok with not knowing all the details if that is what our players prefer.

Brown has an ACL, 81. Can't play. The Stanford players may play. What more could you ask for.

But if Brown is their Haley Jones, who is Taylor Jones? Their Aaliyah Boston? Brown is impressive for a frosh, but I was not knocked off my socks the way Taylor Jones has impressed me. To me, she, Aaliyah Boston, and Maryland's Ashley Owusu are all neck and neck for Frosh of the Year.

On the other hand, I notice that Nadia Fingall and Kat Tudor had similar headlines last year, so it seems as if players consent to having their personal information released when they have season-ending injuries, but that they refuse (or their coaches choose?) not to have their privacy violated when the injuries are not necessarily season-ending.
Is that right? If so, why? Why is privacy more important for short term injuries than for long term injuries?
I suspect it has nothing really to do with the student's desire for privacy, or there would be more consistency.

Might be the difference between "sign this so that we can disclose your injuries" and "decide whether it would be ok with you for us to disclose your injuries. If you don't want us too, we will simply say you are unable to play due to injury. If you don't mind and sign the consent, we will let reporters know as much you are comfortable with us saying."
There's consent and there's voluntary, informed consent.

There might be a tactical reason: if the player is going to return this season, you don't want your opponents to know any details about the injury, not because they'll try to re-injure your player (one hopes) but because it will give their scouting report information on any weaknesses that can be exploited?
