Lol Not what I was saying. Much of women's basketball runs on 3 point shooting. A lot of the times it's the higher percentage shot than scoring at the rim.

RUBillsFan Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 SLU gets the W vs Loy-Chi 73 to 55 and locks up 3rd place in the A10. Pretty incredible. Nice work Tillett & the players. 3rd place gives them a double bye and their most likely 1st round opponent becomes whoever finishes 6th assuming no upsets. Depending upon the outcome of GW/UMass (GW currently losing big) and Richmond/Bona later tonight, I think 6th could still be any of GW, Richmond, or St Joes. It breaks down like this for 6th place (current NET): GW wins, Richmond wins - Richmond (98) GW loses, Richmond wins - St. Joes (90) GW loses, Richmond loses - GW (145) GW wins, Richmond loses - St. Joes (90) I'd prefer GW as the opponent, so we're rooting for Richmond to lose to Bona tonight, but I'd imagine Richmond is favored to win. St. Joes beat SLU by 24 in Philly earlier this season, Richmond won by 10 their place, and SLU beat GW at Chaifetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyla McMakin does a good job of drawing fouls when she goes to the hoop instead of just taking a jump shot wherever she is. Gets her defender in foul trouble, makes the other defenders close in, opens up the outside shot. Same with Brooke. Going to the hoop ha dramatically improved things. In the first game against Loy-Chi, they shot 23% (and 0 for 15 from 3pt range, lost by 13 to this same team. Today, 47% FG, 20% 3pt, and a 17 point win. 3 pointers are a big part of the women’s game, SLU wasn’t doing much to get open and make better shots.

Lord Elrond Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 For the Brooke Flowers Block Watch (BFBW), she got 5 today, ending the regular season at 386, good for sole possession of 20th place all time. 10 more ties her for 19th, 11 more ties her for 18th, 12 more ties her for 17th.

Is finishing top 25 career in a major stat category worthy of a banner at Chaifetz commemorating that? Could ask this for Collins & assists as well.

BrettJollyComedyHour Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Do you think the A10 Women's Tourney merits its own new thread or should it be contained to this thread? I feel like since we earned a double bye it should have a separate GDT. thetorch and drkelsey55 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should still probably start one Wednesday to cover the teams they might face. BrettJollyComedyHour likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtside Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 According to Mike Vukovcan, (covers Pitt) 2 A10 coaches are interviewing for the vacancy at Pittsburgh: Tory Verdi at UMass and Caroline McCombs at George Washington. Others that have interviewed are Toledo’s Tricia Cullup and Marquette’s Megan Duffy. Previous Pitt compensation was $640k plus bonus and incentives. That would seemingly take Duffy out of it as she makes close to that at Marquette. (unless Pitt decides they want to push higher in compensation closer to what other Power 5 schools are doing) Verdi and McCombs are roughly in the $300k plus range plus bonus and incentives.

I normally roll my eyes at "I'm staying" announcements but it was an open question for her, especially given that she walked on senior night. Huge news for SLU.
