cgeldmacher Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 That's a good point. Teams considering whether or not the schedule a game with us are contending with the fact that we are good now, but that most in the country only know our women's team by its history. This adds to the idea that a win doesn't gain them much, but that a loss loses them a lot more. This may be why scheduling decent teams is so difficult.

Pistol Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The women are in action right now against Fordham. They're a 4-seed, Fordham is the 5. Winner plays Dayton, the 1-seed. I just looked at their bracket for the first time, and hadn't realized it was a different format than the men's side. Only the top 2 seeds get byes, with all other seeds playing at home sites in the first round. Then they play out the quarterfinals at the conference tournament location. Dayton beat 8-seed VCU earlier today. At halftime, the score is SLU 31, Fordham 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our scheduling has been weak because that's clearly how Stone wants to schedule. Bottom line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Definitely got a tough draw at the 4-seed. There were two 13-3 teams and two 12-4 teams, and the tiebreakers just so happened to force SLU and UD onto the same side of the bracket - I'd much rather have GW or St. Joe's. Anyway, they lost twice to UD this season, and that third matchup can be deadly. Anything can happen. Great game from SS, who must've had a really favorable matchup inside. Yeah, @Cowboy, the minute totals are crazy - definitely makes you wonder how much they have left, not using the bench at all. And 4 turnovers today - wow.

Except that doesn't work anymore because the RPI has been fine tuned enough to know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a bleak morning read, pull up the women's record book. It's my second time dipping into these numbers lately, and I really never had a perspective on just how bad this program has been historically. Anyway, their all-time record against UD, including this season, is 8-27. Would love to see that win percentage hit .250 today. If they win, the winner of Duquesne-St. Joe's awaits them in the finals. Remember that Duquesne, despite being 8-8 in conference on the season, beat SLU by 29 earlier this year. They lost to St. Joe's by 3. Which means that all four of SLU's conference losses have come against the remaining teams in the A10 Tournament. If that's not a motivating factor - especially the two losses to UD this season - then I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Four points from the bench, all in garbage time and foulign free throws. Now an 11 am game in Richmond that even I am not awake for. This does not bode well. Hopefully tired legs don't comeinto play. If they do, we will once again leave Richmond with a mental block on our ability to shoot the ball.

Pistol Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 37-33 Dayton at halftime. Basically, SLU got into foul trouble and they went on a 13-0 run to start the quarter. Frantz, Stipanovich, McMahan, and Jakubicek all have 2 fouls and Vliet has 3. Kemph avoided foul trouble but has as many turnovers (4) as the team had in the entire Fordham game.

FromDaEastSide Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Based on the support of the crowds from last year, I would make a good guess that we will be in the WNIT and hosting a few rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
