Congratulations to Maryville. I wish them luck in the tourney.

On a personal note, it was a sad day for myself and all of Lauren's family. Since she is a senior it will be the last time she puts on a uniform and plays ball. I've watched her play since she was 10 and enjoyed every moment. It's amazing how she has grown both on and off the court. I think playing ball has been nothing but a tremendous experience for her. Helped instill discipline. Understand teamwork. And given her countless friends and connections. But I'll still miss watching her play. Miss her taking that 3. Playing some defense. Having fun playing with her teammates. Thanks to all of you on the board who would give updates on the Fontbonne games. It was great to read about the games that I couldn't attend. To all the seniors whose season and careers are over.... thanks.

I am sticking with my prediction.

Fontbonne with a huge upset of Maryville. Here's hoping the Griffins 3's will be falling.


GO FONTBONNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fontbonne with a convincing win 71-52. Since Font is not really know for defense... was West just really off tonight ?

Hopefan, I have to agree with you concerning Font not having much rep on eurekasids list. Font did finish second in conf and is the only team to play Maryville tough twice. Calli Collier has to get some love as well.

Any predictions on the playoffs?

My picks are Font over West.  And Maryv over Blck. 

For the championship....... Fontbonne with a huge upset.

Hopefan, thanks for the kind words concerning  Lauren. I got a text from her last night about the game. She was excited about the win and looking forward to the rematch Thursday.

theoneandonly, not counting them just yet. But I do have a good estimate on their numbers.  ;D But I am rooting for ya. Personally, I still don't think it makes that much of a difference when you play mighty Maryville. The game is still 40 minutes and whichever team has the most points wins.

Hopefan, it doesn't look like the Texans will be able to make the trip. But we will be cheering hard for Lauren and Fontbonne.

Not to rain on anyones parade, but it looks like we are going to have two sets of back to back games. How weird is that?

Since I've only attended games at Fontbonne I've never really seen much of a crowd. I would be interested in seeing some of the wacky college kids.

And now that the 4 teams have been determined all we need to do is figure out seeds 2-4.

Here's hoping Fontbonne plays with intensity and smarts tonight vs MacMurray. When the griffins have their heads in the game they can be pretty tough. That and if the 3's are falling.

Go Fontbonne!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like Hakey is pretty good player. Wish I could have seen her this year.

And good luck to Blackburn vs Maryville.

With the top 4 teams all winning, it looks like only the seeding remains. Seeds 2-4 I mean.

And furbug, forgive me for not giving credit to Twain. Or Disdaeli.( Of course I've never heard of Disraeli.)

Wow, I was looking at the conf stats. I'm amazed Fontbonne is in such good shape. If you only look at the stats it would appear the only thing Font can do is shoot free throws.

There are lies. Damn lies. And statistics.  :)
