College men may be moving in this direction. Also decreases the "official" timeouts from 4 to 3 per half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I don't follow the women's team but if they don't win their conference tournament would they be in line for an at-large bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their record is 9-3 and yet their official RPI is 163. That should tell you how weak their schedule was (despite having 3 legit games in a row lately). The A-10 is not a strong conference but it is not a cakewalk either so it would seem very unlikely they could earn an at large bid. If they win out I compute them getting into the RPI high 50's. They would make a strong case using other profile criteria particularly if they were winning by decent margins and the committee was looking at Sagarin/Pomeroy/BPI/Dolphin as well. Basically, it is highly unlikely to near impossible for them to get an at-large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doowop Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 12 hours ago, White Pelican said: I've come to like the idea. And there are no one-and-ones. You always shoot two free throws, either for a shooting foul, or because the other team has committed 5 in the quarter. (Still a single free throw when fouled during a made basket, same as usual.) But there is one women's rule I don't like even though we took advantage of it tonight. In the final 59.9 seconds, if you call a timeout after the opponent makes a hoop, you get the option to move the throw-in to your own front court. That's a gimmick worthy of the old ABA. The NBA uses it also. That is where the women got it from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with doowop. As tough as it is to become a perennial power in men's bball it seems to be a lot more difficult in women's.

hsmith19 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 It would have helped SLU's RPI if Washington State could have beaten Kentucky last night. That game would have been theirs if they hadn't missed four straight free throws in the final minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they determined it either because he tweeted the announced crowd so not sure where the updated number came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 The 6,288 is from the box score. Stu tweeted 4,907. As with the men's games, they appear to simply decide what they want the attendance to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmbilliken Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Sounds like a transfer. Sounds like a big deal the way they say it. There is a St. Louis player that plays for Connecticut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills16 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Chloe Rice is a junior in high school, so she is a 2018 recruit. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/high-school/2016/03/02/girls-state-basketball-wednesdays-class-4a-updates/81197274/ This article is from last year when she was a sophomore.

Just from what I read about her, this is exactly the kind of player the women need to land to keep building the program. SLU's women's program has zero history. This is a big get for them when it comes to an out of the area recruit. They beat out a couple of teams in Iowa and South Dakota that are at worst bubble teams.

cgeldmacher Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Question: Does anyone know if Kemph is WNBA material? Not that I follow the WNBA at all, but it would be cool if she made it to the League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
