First team all-conference and all-academic honors for Jackie Kemph. Excellent job this season.

Hard to be disappointed in arguably the best player in SLU WBB history, but coming off of back to back A10 POY awards, Kemph's senior year doesn't have the same shine as her soph. and junior years.  Maybe that has more to do with her supporting cast, but if you look at the #s she peaked her soph. year.

Disappointing that Madison Gits didn't receive any A-10 love for her excellent senior year.  She's nearly averaging a double-double.  If she nabs 3 rebounds in SLU's next game she'll break Sadie Stipanovich's record for most rebounds in a season (284).  She's 2nd on the team in scoring and leads the team in blocks.

I knew Stipanovich was good, but was she the real reason for their success the past couple of seasons? I didn't expect a drop-off this season. I thought Kemph and the rest of them could sustain it.

The loss of Stipanovich and Jakuvicik hurt. It forced Vliet to play inside, which cut down on her offense. What really killed them is three bad years of recruiting. They had one decent player and one adequate backup total in the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior classes. Hopefully the incoming class lives up to its hype.

WBBills up 68 - 65 w 16 ticks on the clock.  Hopefully they can hang on to win.

Gits has 15 rebounds so she is now the single season rebound leader in WBB history.

George Washington just took down Dayton. Things may be falling into place for a run to a championship 

Oh wow.  I don't want to get hopes up too high, but it would be quite an appropriate finish to Kemph's career if she led the WBBills to their first NCAA appearance.

Sagarin ratings for remaining teams (thru 3/2):

GW - 99

SLU - 112

St. Joes - 124

Dayton was 56, so the road to the championship just got a lot easier, but SLU would still be an underdog if they make the final.
