What to know: There were three ranked STUMPSETS in Women’s Hoops last night. It just wouldn’t be right to not give them a little love. You know us, suckers for a good Stumpset. You give us three in one night??? Fuggedaboudit (with accent).


(24) Florida St def. (3) Notre Dame, 86-81 - Stumpset. Of. The. Night. This one was a shocker! The Fighting Irish have been a staple of the college hoops season this year, but there have now been a few moments that raise eyebrows. There was the late loss in Double OT to NC State, another Top 10 team on the road, that one was understandable. What happened last night nobody saw coming. The Irish were on their home turf, and after building up a 15-point lead midway through the second, it was all Seminoles after that. Ta’Niya Laston had a team-high 23 points, and Makayala Timpson was right behind her with 22. The Noles definitely raised their stock yesterday, and now who knows if Notre Dame will even get a 1-seed.


(20) Alabama def. (7) LSU in OT, 88-85 - This SEC SHOWDOWN was intense. 4 quarters of ball was not enough to decide a winner. One name to know from this one, Aaliyah Nye. The leading scorer for the Tide was on one all-night and ended up with 29 points, on a very efficient 9 for 12 from the field. It was a foul-filled night for the stars on LSU, and it was something that burned them in the gritty part of the game. An admirable 4th quarter comeback from LSU was met with more juice from Alabama in OT, it was a little too much juice for LSU to handle. Alabama 88. LSU 85.


(16) Duke def. (8) North Carolina, 68-53 - A heated conference rivalry on the road, this was the least shocking of the three stumpsets, but still a stumpset nonetheless. It’s hard to win games when you get a combined total of 4 points off of your bench. That’s exactly what happened for the Tar Heels. They have been able to have a balanced attack all season to bring them into the top 10, but that was not seen on Thursday night. It was Duke’s Toby Fournier off the bench who 19 and 10 of her own! Blue Devils get the win, 68-53. Maybe we see these gals again soon…
