I agree with you @triaddukefan , I, for one, greatly appreciate your efforts in posting this weekly thread @Plebe .

And then when @Shades follows up with the game specific threads, nothing could be finer...

 

[Plebe]

I decided to start grouping the listings by conference on the really heavy days, particularly Thursdays and Sundays. Otherwise the list is too unwieldy, and it also helps out folks who are particularly interested in following a given conference.

If I am being honest, links to the Shades game thread would be finer.

But agreed, much appreciated.

 

[Plebe]

If I am being honest, links to the Shades game thread would be finer.

In the past couple weeks I started providing these links, before game time.

I sorta agree. If @Plebe (or @Shades ) were being paid to do this, then I would expect the links.

In the past couple weeks I started providing these links, before game time.

And they are appreciated greatly especially seeing how everything about this site is free.
I'm retired and I know that I wouldn't take the time to do what you and @Shades continue to do for us BYers!!!

Big Upset brewing in Big South Action..... Defending champs Radford is down to High Point late in the 3rd.... 52-34.

Big Upset brewing in Big South Action..... Defending champs Radford is down to High Point late in the 3rd.... 52-34.

Big upset? Aren't both of them really bad?

 

[triaddukefan]

Big upset? Aren't both of them really bad?

Hard to tell with the Big South teams. Radford played a tough non-conference schedule.... but they were the preseason favorite to win the league again.

 

[Plebe]

Hard to tell with the Big South teams. Radford played a tough non-conference schedule.

Who's their best win? East Tennessee State?

 

[triaddukefan]

Who's their best win? East Tennessee State?

Yep.... but that's the same ETSU squad that knocked off the rising ACC Power Wake Forest

 

[triaddukefan]

So Radford thought they were just gonna come to the Panther's Den and leave with a victory? Lydia Rivers aint walking through that door.

My Panthers are turning the corner.

 

[Plebe]

FGCU can sympathize with Oregon State about what a pest Liberty is.

Liberty stayed close throughout at Fort Myers. It was a 3-point game with 41 seconds to play. FGCU pulled away with free throws at the end for a 64-57 win.

 

[triaddukefan]

Former Big South Power Liberty. They used to run the league like Baylor runs the Big 12. Glad when they decided to leave..... just to give the other schools a shot.

 

[Centerstream]

Need to keep bumping this up to the top????
(I know that there's not much action tonight, but still...)

 

[Plebe]

I thought it might be fun to get an idea of which games people are most interested in watching, so I added a poll.

 

[ochoopsfan]

The topic title doesnt state it is only college games between 1/6 and 1/12, so I will add this shocker in HS GBB. Mater Dei, alma mater of KML and KLS, lost its first league game(Trinity League), in the past 90 games The last time MD lost a league game was January 8th 2008, when freshman KML played for the Monarchs and they lost 44-42 to the Santa Margarita Catholic HS Eagles. I wasnt at the game tonite but was at that game 12 years ago.

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

I'm just being snarky. While nothing is definite in plans around my house I think we are going on the road and I'll be missing any games in the upcoming week or so.

 

[Plebe]

Top 10 scorers in D1 right now.

 

[eebmg]

Caught the last Q of Duquense vs GW. Duquense had a 10' scoring drouht between 3Q and 4Q and Jenn steals a win 65-60 on home court to break their losing streak.

 

[triaddukefan]

I'm gonna try to catch at least some of the Central Michigan-Buffalo game, which features the #2 and #3 scorers in D1 right now.

Chanette Hicks making an impact. Future MEAC Player of the year

Chanette Hicks making an impact. Future MEAC Player of the year

I was gonna post on her. I didn't realize she had resurfaced. Found a nice article on her from last month:

Norfolk State’s Chanette Hicks took an unconventional route and it led her back home

Chanette Hicks doesn’t mind the smaller, more obscure arenas. She’s not bothered by crowds that aren’t nearly as large or as electric as some she’s seen. She’s even OK…

www.pilotonline.com

Hicks had a tremendous sophomore campaign at Virginia Tech in 2016-17, including a game in Nov. 2016 where she terrorized the Lady Vols with 28 points and 8 steals (earning espnW player of the week honors in the process).

Her numbers went down a bit in her junior year, perhaps because VT had some better players around her. But then in early February 2018 she left the team, apparently for personal reasons. She entered the transfer portal, but I never heard the news of which school she ended up transferring to. According to the article, she considered quitting basketball and took her time before ending up at Norfolk State.

Rizzotti has two high-profile transfers in Ariel Stephenson and Sydney Zambrotta, but both have missed time due to injury and have rarely played together in the same game. Last season was a very down year, and this year isn't quite the expected improvement.

Maybe it's always been this way, but I've really been noticing it lately. Seems like in MCBB there are ranked teams playing just about daily, but in WCBB it's condensed into a handful of days during the week.
