Her shot was a more of a layup falling away from the basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenbill Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Ladies above .500 in the league at 6-5 after defeating LaSalle. 5 games to go with 4 of them against the top of the league. 8-8 would be a good finish.

Cowboy Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 -another ROW award for Harbison, 5th consecutive and 9th time, this is amazing, Congrats young lady!!! great that she is not slowing down as the season progresses, I would guess with these awards she is 1st team all conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 She's hitting 38.9% from three and 84.3% from the FT. Ford needs to get her a uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Pelican Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 From the game program for yesterday's Lasalle game and I quote: Ciaja Harbison was selected national Freshman of the Week by the U.S. Basketball Writer's Association for Jan. 28-Feb.3, becoming the first SLU women's basketball player to earn a USBWA national honor.

thetorch Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Big road win at the Dukies. Frantz had 24. Harrison with an unbelievable line, 18 points, 7 boards, 7 assists, 6 steals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like @billikenbill said above, finishing .500 was a reasonable goal before this game, given that 4/5 remaining opponents were above them in the standings. So this is 1 of those 4 teams above them. Beat Richmond at home this weekend, and they will have guaranteed a .500 finish even if they lose out (@Davidson (8-2), vs. VCU (10-1), @Dayton (7-3)). Frantz had 24 despite going 1-10 from 3. Harbison has locked up the A10 Newcomer of the Year Award. No question. And Flowers will join her on the All-Newcomer team. billikenbill and Zink like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Harbison has also locked up 2nd team all-conference. She's 2nd in scoring, 2nd in assists, 5th in free throw shooting and 7th in FG percentage. She could make 1st team depending on how the team finishes.

Box and Won Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 What a promising team. Looking back over their schedule, they lost several close games early on that they probably would win now. And they've lost two games to third-place Fordham by a combined six points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the rest of the A10 shakes out such that they finish 8th place or higher and get to host their 1st round A10 tournament game at Chaifetz rather than go on the road. The A10 is so bunched up that a finish anywhere from 1st to 13th is technically possible, but the more likely they're somewhere between 5th and 11th.

I don't think it is totally crazy to say that Harbison has a good case for A10 POY as a freshman. I highly doubt she wins because I'd imagine there is some bias toward upperclassmen for the award and toward players on teams at the top of the league instead of middle of the pack. However, her numbers are right there: The good: MIN/G - 36.9 4th in A10 PTS/G - 15.3 - 3rd in A10 - two ahead of her are 20.9 and 16.4 on teams that are at SLU's level or below FG% - 43.5% - 9th in A10 - the two players ahead of her in PPG are 38.5% (22nd) and 35.2% (34th) 3PT% - doesn't have enough attempts to qualify, but would be 4th in A-10 at 37.8% FT% - 84.3% - 4th in A10 AST/G - 4.5 tied for 1st in A10 STL/G - 1.5 tied for 10th in A10 REB/G - 3.8 42nd in A10 - still good for a guard The bad: TO/G - 3.9 4th in A10 - the 20.9 PPG player has 4.5/G and is 2nd in A10 Eyeballing the number's I'd say the front runner for POY is Davidson's Soph. PG Katie Turner has similar numbers to Harbison (slightly lower scoring and rebounding), but with a lot fewer TOs. The fact that Davidson has a better record boosts her case as well. VCU is the top team, but I don't see anyone on VCU whose stats jump out. I think both Frantz and Flowers should get postseason recognition as well. Hopefully SLU finishes strong to boost all of their chances. Edit: Here is the link to the A10 stats page: http://a10stats.com/sports/wbkb/2018-19/leaders?DB_OEM_ID=31600. I hadn't realized before how impressive Harbison's numbers are compared to her peers. Previously I was looking at her numbers (%s in particular) in the context of men's stats which doesn't really work / makes Harbison look not as good.

TheChosenOne Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Likely a really dumb question, are a lot of the women's games being played during the day or have there just been a couple of one off situations (they played yesterday morning and I think they played Dayton during the day as well)? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. On the weekends, it’s to aid traveling. During the week, they are generally to accommodate away games that have elementary school students attending. I believe they’ve had 4 of them this year, plus the game they housed for grade schoolers. There were close to 8,000 st SLU.

billiken_roy Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I thought the women's team looked good today. The improvement since I saw them in early January is substantial. The Harbison girl is very impressive. And while flowers can definitely use some strength training she is very athletic and plays hard. I really enjoyed the game.
