  Should the ODAC look at reducing the tourney to 6 teams to give the league a better chance at getting at large bids for the NCAA tourney? Thoughts anyone?

Reducing the teams in the tournament is ridiculous. That is not going to help the ODAC get at large bids. Go out in the region and play the top teams out of conference and win. If the ODAC wants to do something to help, reduce the number of in conference games so the teams can play more out of conference games. I dont understand what GAVA is saying that you lose points for beating a #7 or #8. How strong was RMC or VWC's out of conference schedule?

My picks for tournament: RMC vs RC in semis; GC VS EMU AND THEN RC VS EMU IN THE FINALS AND RC TO WIN IT ALL!

Congratulations to Jessica Hunsinger on breaking the ODAC record for the most rebounds.  As for jmill07's player of the year - WRONG!  It's either Jessica Hunsinger for her ODAC record or Katy Herr Lovell.  Hanson may have had a few good games recently , but KHL has had a career of good games.

So are you saying you want to base POY on KHL career stats? POY is who has had the best year this year. I still think Hanson but I think KHL is also deserving.
Congrats to Hunsinger on her ODAC record. She has had a great career at WLU. Also congrats to Sara Rechnitzer.

Just so you know most every player that leads a league in scoring is going to take the most shots. Check the stats SIDs: Silva? Williams? Tara Carlton? Whoever was POY before that? You know why they take the most shots? Because they are the best player. 

In case you havent seen Hanson, she is an all-around player just like Lovell. She leads the conference in scoring. She almost average a double double. Her rebounds per game are 9.9. You can look at the stats and I'm sure some SID on here will post them. She is one of the top defenders in the league. AND she led her team to two wins over the Lovell led Eagles of Bridgewater. Lovell is a great player too but just not the best player in the league this year.

Erin Hanson deserves Player of the Year. She has had a great year. My other predictions which are no brainers is Coach LaHaye for COY and Arial FOY.

I have no problem with Silva at all. I think she is a great player, in fact, the best to ever play in the ODAC. She deserves all the awards and records. She has earned everything. I have a problem when the coach from RMC leaves her in a 40 point blowout so she can get 8 more points. I think she should have coached that game the way she would have had she not known about the record. Winning games with class should be more important than players setting records b/c they are at home. And the coach said she prayed about it....well, in my opinion, if she had to pray about whether it was the right thing to do then obviously it was NOT the right thing to do.

RMC is a great team. Too bad they do not know how to win with class.
