You guys better bring us a victory. Wins and trophies are nice but what really matters are the t-shirts and I want a â2024 WNIT Champsâ shirt!!
I definitely need another t-shirt to add to last year's A10 Champs shirt ^^

A coach that canât close out a victory? Â Welcome home.Â
It was a 2 point loss in a championship game. Touch grass, ya fool.

Wonder if the SLU women are still trapped in Burlington, VT by the blizzard?Â
Maybe they have ice cream hangovers from celebrating at the OG Ben and Jerry's last night, lol.

Iâm sitting at Lambert waiting for a flight and the Minnesota womenâs basketball team just arrived in the STL.Â
Damn, so they knew it would be STL a while ago, just didn't know where sounds like.

Fox, AEG to launch new postseason basketball tournament - ESPN
Â
As if the NCAA, NIT, CBI and CIT weren't enough, here comes Fox with another entry. The "College Basketball Crown" will add 16 more teams to post-season play. All games will be in Vegas. Two autobids will go to the Big Ten, Big Twelve and Big East ----- as the rich get richer. In case you missed it, Seattle won this year's CBI with Norfolk State winning the CIT.
CBC, CIT, NIT, FBI, CIA, KGB, SAS...wait

Right now Iâd say beggars canât be choosers. If it can be set up to broadcast a national game within 48 hours (already logistically difficult), then go for it. I would not be surprised to hear that CBS SN is calling the WNIT every 15 minutes on the phone and screaming at them âWhere do we go to get this set up?â
Especially since you need a team of crew/truck/stats people for a national broadcast like that. For a 2 PM start, all of them need to be there around 6 to 8 hours prior.

And I forgot to add, normally a school which goes and helps another gets some goodwill points from other NCAA schools in the country club atmosphere of the NCAA Presidents. HOWEVER, in this case, the NCAA is actively trying to kill off the WNIT and replace it with the WBIT, which the NCAA controls. So another university which helps the WNIT may actually cheese off the rest of the NCAA. Just another little tidbit in the whole thing
Any competition to the NCAA is a fundamentally good thing, but I hate that the WNIT is a pay to play type of tournament.Â

Maybe. Any place they select will have to be a place which is set up to broadcast a game, or CBS SN will tell them no, and be able to seat an audience of some kind. The two places in the St Louis area most likely to be able to do that are SIUE or Lindenwood (which are D1 schools in the OVC where they are set up for broadcasting games) or the University of St Thomas in Minnesota. Only a little over 48 hours to make this happen, so they need to figure out something.
Yeah, the logistics seem f*cked for this.

Looks like a robotics competition. Fuok those nerds.

Maturi Pavilion hosted the Minnesota State High School Girls Basketball Tournament https://www.mshsl.org/sites/default/files/2024-03/2024 Girls Basketball Spectator Guide_0.pdf

We aren't getting a local game. Unfortunately.
I at least want a neutral site. I feel like that's not unreasonable for a championship. Maybe the other twin city across town or something.

Minnesota has Maturi Pavillion used for Volleyball, 3M Arena used for Men's Hockey and Ridder Arena used for Women's Hockey
Are any of those suited/prepared for basketball, though, is the question.

Move Wainwright concert to EnterpriseÂ
Zac Brown Band is big enough to sell 60 to 75% of an Enterprise sized arena. Adam is just the icing on the cake for our weirdly devoted country fan base in the area.

Playing at Harris-Stoweâs Emerson Center doesnât look good.

At least it's a quasi-home game

Maybe. I donât see anything scheduled at Family Arena until April 30th, but I also know that St Charles County (the owners) are putting in $13 Mil in upgrades to the place this year, including new seats and HVAC system. Where does that work stand? I have no idea..
They can play at the new basketball courts in Tower Grove Park

Yeah, but the floor is set up for hockey now, they donât have a non-hockey event until May. Doubt theyâd go to the expense of redoing the floor for BB, then having to re-do again for the next Blues game, not for a womenâs BB gameÂ
Family Arena, too? I have no idea what goes on at Family Arena haha, I'm closer to there, anyway.

This is from U of Minn's athletics calendar... big TBD there

Enterprise and Family Arena are both available Saturday.Â

Yes, they should have.
SLU wins by forfeit? Adam Wainwright's concert beats the ghost of Prince?

Stu is reporting Minn isn't available for Saturday either, lol. Neutral site or Chaifetz on Sunday???
Â
Edit: I should clarify, someone in Stu's thread is saying Minn isn't available.Â

Common opponents: Minn beat Drake 94-88 in double OT, Billikens lost 78-66 to Drake. Minn lost twice to Wisconsin, 59-56 and 67-56, who we beat in the WNIT 65-60. Minn has 4 players averaging double digits, and 1 more just over 9 per game, so they spread the offense around. No really great 3pt shooters, they average 70 pts per game.
Honestly we can beat anyone at this point.

Is the game as crappy looking at your place? Major pixelization on this, which was not happening on the Billiken game
At Humphrey's, yes it's terrible lol.
