Tough loss for the ladies, Belmont goes a crazy 14-25 from 3 including the game winner. 13-7 still only gets 5th so have to play Thursday. The top half of the conference is loaded
A heck of a comeback down 10 with under 4 to play and Wilson fouled out. Showed some grit and determination. Wong came up big, as did Dowell.
On the negative, until the rally, they struggled to score again. The offense has been an issue at times…
Gotta give the ladies credit for coming back down 6 with 40 seconds left, they actually a potential game winning shot, but did tie and send to OT. But they gave up 23 in the 5 minute OT. They switched with the guys this weekend, the guys shot it decent, at one point the women were 2-20 from 3...
A big road trip this weekend to Valpo and UIC. Should win both games, but can’t take them for granted, need to sweep and come back home on a winning streak.
Ladies had a nice solid win over St Lou tonight. With being in Tennessee was first time seeing them in person. Wong had a big game as did Wilson. Was a good one to win after a couple tough losses to top teams. Was a very physical game, they were challenged for sure.
I don’t know how to link an article to the message board. But there is an article in the Athletic saying there is a proposal to create a subdivision in the NCAA where teams agree to pay half their athletes $30,000 a year or more. This subdivision could make their own rules separate from other...
Not the ladies day, tough to win when you get 3 pts total from Crompton/Wilson. Think Friday took something out of them, still in first ahead of a big weekend next week.
There is a nice article on Mary Crompton in Fridays Pantagraph. She’s been a great player but sounds like even better off the court. Continued success on and off the court!👍
That would be the theme for the rivalry game. Bradley is putrid, losing by over 20 a game, and had 4th quarter lead. But the Birds prevailed, and it’s one W just like winning by 50.
The women win a big one on the road, at SIU who was undefeated in conference. Robinson had a tough game, but hit the game winner and 2 free throws to clinch it
Lost to SLU who was 0-4 against Valley teams. College basketball is an up and down season, but….shot it terrible and played poor defense for 3 quarters
