Week Three Interesting Games

[Vowelguy]

Surprised you have never heard of either Johnson and Wales (NC Campus) or Mid Atlantic Christian University.

I'm familiar with Johnson & Wales since they also have a campus in Rhode Island and Providence.

Mid Atlantic Christian U has <200 students!

 

[Vowelguy]

Didnt Washington St a few years back?

My bad. 2-27 in 01-02.

Listening to the game, the CSU announcers said they usually play with a 8 player rotation, and three of their top players fouled out. Were forced to use players that normally don't get much of any playing time. I'll have to look at their schedule for future possible chances to win a game. Has a WCBB team ever gone 0 for the season?

I looked at this the other day, Chicago St. has had multiple winless seasons. Maybe 4?

St Peters 0-30 last year.

Pretty much every year, at least one or two.

St Peter's went 0-30 last year.

Hartford went 2-26 but the only 2 wins were over non-D1 teams. There may be others like that as well.

Their coach got poached. That time of year. Happened to Oregon St. as well.

Oh wait, that's probably an NFL team. But Duke's football coach is reportedly heading to Texas A&M.

And the portal opens tomorrow I think... and early signing starts in a week or so...

Yeah... NFL.. my Panthers are staring 1-16 in the face.

At least your team still has a conference. OSU is probably gonna lose half their team to the portal after their coach ducked out (pun intended?) hours after getting stomped in their big rivalry game, and they have no schedule for next season and no idea if they'll be in any conference or not. So it could be worse.

Brink just missed a 20/20 game, needed 1 more rebound, but I'm guessing she didn't play at all in Q4. Missed ANOTHER free throw, only 9-10 today. Only 97% for the year.

 

[CompSci87]

Brink and Iriafen were both in and out a lot as the refs kept calling ticky tack fouls on both.

But Duke's football coach is reportedly heading to Texas A&M.

You know it's sad when your football coach gets poached and the fan base of the poaching team is thoroughly underwhelmed.

Here's a nice article in SI about St. Peter's recently breaking their long losing streak:

Perhaps lessens the sting of Duke volleyball dropping a 5-set hearbreaker to UNC in the regular season finale, which in all likelihood cost them an NCAA bid.

A certain team I root for is going to miss the tournament for the first time in forever. That's pretty weird.

 

[nwhoopfan]

A couple years ago (after they pushed South Carolina in the Sweet 16) I was pretty high on Banghart and UNC. Last year they never quite seemed to find their way. This year is starting off the same. They have nice pieces, but the coach can't quite seem to figure out how to use them together.

On a post play interior shot no less. Talk about mixing it up!

Ouch.

It’s TAMU. I think they would find fault with Saban.

It's the coach of Duke, a team that just tied for 6th at 4-4 in a meh conference.

Man.. that is crushing.. I gotta admit Volleyball isn't a sport I pay that much attention to.. especially in the regular season.

A couple years ago (after they pushed South Carolina in the Sweet 16) I was pretty high on Banghart and UNC. Last year they never quite seemed to find their way. This year is starting off the same. They have nice pieces, but the coach can't quite seem to figure out how to use them together.

I tried to tell yall.. but yall thought I was being biased against Chapel Hill.

Hold on. I thought the FGCU roster were all "shooters"?
