There's also this upcoming behind-the-scenes show that will be on ESPNU. Should be fun. I'd think a lookback on last season and preparations for this season?

Pretty big opportunity for a Stag.

They took some hits, last season. The awful home loss to Richmond. Losing Brown for the season, followed by the loss to St. John's. And, even, the late season loss to Quinnipiac. Squeaked out a couple of MAAC Tournament wins, before pounding Q. in the Final. Definitely showed resilience when...

I thought you were implying her age (I assume she's 16 or 17) should shield her from criticism. I disagree on that. Of course, there are always those that take things too far. It's not that serious. But, I think she can and should prepare to hear about it from opposing fans in her coming high...

Not sure that matters. Life lessons can be learned at many ages. But, easily corrected by putting up a different picture and a message about how maybe the last one wasn't exactly the image she wanted to convey. Got caught up in the moment, etc.. If this is her/family's creation - that's crazy...

It's not that the top programs have the best players, that's kind of always been the case... it's the incessant jersey swapping that can really kill the fun I get, as a fan. If college basketball (sports?) is going to be indistinguishable from a U25 pro-league, then I wish the NCAA would...

With Lee returning, it's a pretty daunting #5 seed to draw. The Stags did play against OSU and Magassa (losing by 2 on the road), so they do have some experience against a 6'6" C. She was effective, but not overly impactful. I know Lee is a much better player, but it's not wholly uncharted...

Last game will be a battle at Quinnipiac.

Fairfield finishes home vs. #3 Siena(ESPNU) and @ #2 Quinnipiac. They'll have to earn 20-0.

Scored over 2000 points at D2 (they say it every single time she's mentioned on broadcasts). Has spent most of the year in an effective, but limited role off the Stags' bench -- until this week. Nice story, and a good example of answering the bell when your number is called.

18 points (career high) today and leading the MAAC in FG% at .745. Cyanne might not win RotY in the conference - Quinnipiac has a good PG playing 36+ minutes per game - but, with the way she's developing, she might actually be the best freshman. Doing it on both ends of the floor...

might be a good MAAC contest starting between Fairfield and Manhattan. Fairfield is blowing out all their MAAC opponents (avg. margin of victory 32+) and Manhattan (after getting healthy) has won their last 4 games by 20+. * it's a kids day and the screeeeeeech factor is high.

I think Niagara is in the D1-winless category. Hard fall from being a bucket away from the NCAA Tournament, last year.

Earlier in the year, I joked about Fairfield being able to contend for the MAAC title, even if they lost their starting 5. Well... my bad on the jinx... as they've lost 2 of their opening game starters (1 for the season -> 23-24 PotY Nellie Brown - and 1 hasn't played since the first game) and...
