I am interested to see if Jen can will her team to a big upset. Lets go Jen.

Confusing announcers. The displayed score at the end of the 1st quarter is 14-11, Dayton. The play by play guy says it is 14-13. Hoping it gets cleared up during the commercials.

They updated the displayed score.

GW hanging in. Leads 23-20 5 minutes left in 2nd half. Lets go

 

[eebmg]

GW leads 27-25 at half. Dayton is physically superior in my opinion but they are playing too much 1-1. At times, GW's defense looks really good. It needs to be elite the rest of the way. Go Jen.

37-34 GW after 3. Could have been 39-34 with nice offensive set but missed close one. Lets go Jen.

52-47 GW 40 seconds left but we just fouled a 3pt shooter stupid stupid stupid.

Ok. Only 2 fouls shots 52-49.

Now 53-49 making 1 of 2 on intenional foul. 29 seconds. Come on Jen

Crap. Quick 2pt shot made 53-51. 23 seconds. Wish Jen was playing the PG position.

 

[Centerstream]

4 point lead is a game but a 5 point lead ices the game????
Each is a 2 possession game.

Is Dayton a lock for an at large bid?

This is a big topic on the telecast. It sounds like on the fence. Only OOC win is against Virginia.

GW wins 58 - 53, good job Jen!!

 

[eebmg]

We win 58-53. Lets get the conference bid and maybe a UConn game in the tournament.

Yup, gotta make sure the money leagues get their quotas first. But I guess it makes sense if the lower echelon teams are actually better teams than the other leagues top teams. One of the downsides for non P5 leagues that have tournament upsets.

A lot was made about the difficulty, the Non-P5 conferences have in scheduling higher ranked teams in fear of getting a "bad" loss. It is a real issue with no good solution.

 

[Centerstream]

On paper I have a problem when the P5 leagues send 7 or 8 teams to the big dance but again, maybe the lower 2 or 3 teams in these leagues are "better" teams. I admit that I don't watch many games when 1 of the teams is not top 25 (except if it's a UConn game).

 

[eebmg]

Just realized the other semifinal is a 6 seed vs a 7 seed. GW will be favored in the final.

No, far from it. In fact, given their competition for the final bubble spots, I'd say this loss is curtains for them.

Dayton's only quality win for resume purposes is over Virginia, another bubble team.

They are really ruing that overtime loss to South Florida where they gave up a huge lead in the 4th quarter.

Here's a solution, any P5 team that has an SOS of 100 or more CAN NOT qualify for an at large bid.

Here's a solution, any P5 team that has an SOS of 100 or more CAN NOT qualify for an at large bid.

Or any P5 team that would be a 10 or higher seed...leave them out and let them go to the NIT.

Which team are you referring to? Minnesota has a top-100 SOS.
