Vandy makes the WNIT

[Boreifs]

Vanderbilt wins their second game of the NIT, beating Liberty 71-45.

Marquette and Seton Hall also won.

If Vandy and Marquette both win their next games, they will face each other in the WNIT quarterfinals.

Vandy travels to Middle Tennessee on Thursday with a chance to avenge a 9-point loss, on that same court, in November. Vandy has improved a lot since then.

Marquette will host Toledo, and Seton Hall will host Drexel.

Saw this on the Vandy site and explains a lot as to why Shea is so loved.

So what can we expect from Geno / CD if UConn wins NC??

Going down to the wire in Murfreesboro.

In the meantime, I just noticed this tweet. Cambridge recently posted Vandy's first-ever triple-double, and now this:

Vanderbilt came up just short. They fought back to tie the game in the last minute, then MTSU took back the lead on free throws. Vandy's last-second desperation three just missed.



I didn't realize until just now that Vandy's record in true road games was only 1-10 (now 1-11). They only game they won on an opponent's home court was at Saint Joseph's.

Still, I think this was great they got to play in the WNIT and that they won a couple extra games in the process. Shea took the team a long way in her first season.

Dang. I was hoping VU would go deep and reach or surpass .500 on the season. [not sure how many games were available]

Does the Vandy women have a Boneyard equivalent? I was curious what their critics were saying about how Shea did this season.

I don't think even Shea would qualify 15-18 as a great season. They lost a games they should have won esp to mid major teams, again this will be a hard uphill climb, but I'm sure if you asked her before the season she would at least thought 500 or better was doable.

Both Vandy and Marquette lost, but Seton Hall moved on to the elite eight. Not bad for a sixth place team.

Thanks.
Tournament Shea wins this year’s award for
the finest presser in the face of a season-ending loss…hands down. And it certainly isn’t surprising. When it comes to Shea Ralph you just run out of superlatives.

A LOT of wine and pasta.
