Hoopscoming game against the Camrls on a quick turnaround from the big win at RU. Bring our D and protect the ball and we should be alright, although I can’t see how we don’t come out a bit flat at the tip. Hopefully Dufeal can recover quickly and give us some quality minutes. We need to repay them for the earlier loss this season. Likely our last game with them for awhile since CU is leaving the Big South. It’d be nice to keep them on future schedules once a season.
Women have arguably their toughest remaining game in Buies Creek. Win this one and running the table really seems possible. A win also clinches the regular season title I believe.

Yes that's right a win clinches the title and the auto NIT BID

Free throws nearly got us today. Team showed some grit, though.

We’ve got to correct the free throw issue. If we just shot the national average at the line, we’d be in first.
LW survived at HPU tonight, they remain tied with us for 3rd.
Women win going away and Bevis didn’t even travel. Very impressive. Does anyone think like I do that losing a game and not going 18-0 would be more helpful heading into the tournament, showing we are vulnerable?

Regarding the Women and your question, my concern is simple: absurd or not, we MUST win the tournament to make the NCAAs. We haven't played a close game in a while, thanks to our great first and 3rd qtrs. I'd like to see us challenged in a closer fourth quarter before the Conf Tourney, the pressure of the must win nature of it does bother me. But Coach Simmons won 2 National Championships as a player, so she understands the deal better than anyone. Crush em Lady Dawgs!!

We can run the table and finish 29-4 and are going to struggle to get a 15 seed. Our SOS and NET is poor. |
