What I do know is Duke now has competition for the lowest attendance among the 16 Hosts. Will their 3 year strangle hold on this dubious feat be undertaken by their arch rivals? My guess is both schools will average 3,700 per session…The triangle is not a good women’s hoop supporter…

Yes, Tina Charles won the USBWA National Freshman of the year award. This has become a tired trope that “Tina was not good” until her Junior and Senior years. She also won the Big East FOY when the BE was a Marquee WB conference. So while you note Tina was pretty good, she was better than that...

Statistically speaking, Stotijn was the worst P4 player on any roster with a negative number associated to her. That is really hard to do. No one else was nearly as bad. I will be curious where she ends up as she did get some playing time at IU but was truly atrocious…

With new 18 team super conferences, the committee needs to revamp some of their seeding protocols. Many teams will now only play a team in their conference one time, not 2 or 3 times. To scramble their 1-68 snake seeding to “avoid conference foes” due to familiarity no longer applies. Which is...

I found the choices and the dialogue/justification of those choices just plain lazy and not supported by any statistical analysis or actual perspective. Also, on one hand the note a “pretend analytical assessment” yet on the other hand they ignore stats altogether and go with a narrative. To...

You mean like a school 60 miles to the north of her whose coach is close to retiring? 🤓

Also for @EricSD, why do these little things bother you so much? It's a game, you can't control how the other team behaves but you can control yourself. Heck, the game was well in-hand with 8 minutes to go and Allie was hoisting 3's so was that "classy"? Kids want to play and they did. Joens...

I know this post has been addressed and I don't want to make @my2cents defensive on this post but I want to echo a few comments and offer some of my own observation while at the game and as a statistical analyst. After only losing by 14 early when she lost by 49 back in January, I think Dillon...

For as good a story as the ASU Sun Devils are (and it is a GREAT story), they really should not be in the discussion for an NCAAT bid considering how pathetic their OOC was and how weak the Big 12 really is. That said virtually all the mid-majors non-auto bid teams are just absolutely brutal...

I seem to recall that after Amanda Butler was let go, Becky Hammond had some interest but Florida also refused to pay a top rate for a coach so this is not surprising, heck they only pay t Tim Walton the softball coach who has won an NCAA title only $550K.

You were getting a “Like” just for the Casa Blanca reference but DOUBLE “Likes” For asking the BYers on their opinion about generating income without the tournament. In the last 5 years, all 4 P4 conference tournaments are showing big attendance boosts and the BE (or any conference with UConn)...

Purdue absolutely should be looking but the longer they are silent the less inclined I am that they will make a move. Not sure I see any other P4 programs making changes. The abysmal programs are either already in new coach rebuild mode or just made the change so 3 years seems to be the...

He has 11 transfers on his current team. When will he actually recruit a HS kid?

Go Rhody!

The stat feed at the arena broke down so all of the second half was not operating. That stat line feeds all the peripheral sources-ESPN, Yahoo, Peacock and such. I am at the arena and it was very frustrating and then the speaker system didn’t work when announcing the Flagrant one on Serah so...
