I've become an Upstate fan. Loved Becky Burke as a Louisville player and have followed her coaching career.

I remember reading that she was a former player at Louisville, but don't recall when she was there. She's definitely the top contender to be the Big South coach of the year. They were picked #10 in the preseason... and they are well on their way to a 20+ win season.

They didn't waste any time pulling her name from the website

Wow! What on earth? Pitt really needs her.

First ever Big South Tournament held at an off-campus site. The Fun starts Tuesday. I can make the case for six teams winning the whole thing. Every game will definitely be a dog fight... can't overlook anyone. No nights off. Can the Campbell Camels get over the hump and win its first Big South Tournament... Can Longwood win its first.. can High Point repeat, can A&T win in its first and last BS tournament... so many questions.

How many of Triad's favorite teams are in this tourney (and in what order)?

Notre Dame, one field goal made in the entire first quarter.
At home.
Ouch.

If you guessed six, you would be correct.

Taking a look at the ACC Preseason Standing vs the final regular season standings. For the most part it shook out about what the coaches expected. I went with the coach's poll instead of the media. Final regular season standings in parenthesis.

1. NC State (1)
2. Louisville (2)
3. Georgia Tech (6)
4. Virginia Tech (5)
5. Florida State (9)
6. Notre Dame (3)
7. North Carolina (4)
8. Duke (10)
9. Miami (8)
10. Clemson (13)
11. Boston College (7)
12. Syracuse (12)
13. Wake Forest (11)
14. Pitt (15)
15. Virginia (14)


When I look at this, I can't help but wonder how injuries played a part in a lot of team's seasons (and the transfer portal). Georgia Tech took a hit to their backcourt with Fletcher (injury) and McQueen (transfer). Florida State missed games due to injury and covid as well.

These conference tournaments are going to be lit!

A blow for next year's team

Happy for Diamond Johnson. The move from Rutgers has worked out really well for her.

Historic achievement (probably). Winning sixth woman of the year in two different conferences in consecutive years.

I think she was a straight up 2nd-Teamer in the B1G last year, as well as All-Freshman. Started most of the year for Rutgers.

Ah thanks. For some reason I thought she was sixth woman of the year.

@triaddukefan A silver lining to the season with Day-Wilson winning Rookie of the Year.
