"Far less players" what does that mean?  Blackburn has Shipley who I would take over any player in the conference.  Nonetheless, kudos to Williams and Blackburn but I am sure Coach would rather have a win then a moral victory.

Far less players definitely did NOT mean less players in talent...less players in numbers..when you can only play a strong 6 or 7 man rotation, girls start to get fatigued...unlike other teams that can put in a whole line change....thats what i mean HCACBBALL...

No disrespect to Maryville, they clearly have a very strong program--but kudos to BC for bringing the heat!  With far less players they were able to put up a dog fight!  I think this shows that records may not be a good indicator of the capabilities of any team in the conference and NO team is set in stone for their place and or win in the conference tournament!  Keep competing...everyone...

I would have to say I have been keeping track of comments made throughout the season and have never said anything; however, I feel as if it is time for me to speak up.  First of all, I agree that every team in the sliac comes to compete and the games are somewhat of a dog fight, but i believe that there is ONE team in particular that continues to get over looked......

If anyone has said anything about Blackburn this season, it has been about them being a "fluke" or having players that don't actually look like basketball players....two initials BS!

No one has mentioned the fact that last year they finished bottom of the conference last year and have really come at some people this year.  They have remained in the number four spot for a few weeks now and are still a couple games ahead of the teams behind them.

I don't believe that fourth place is up for anyone anymore, i think the blackburn lady beavers have rightfully earned their way into the position and nothing is going to knock them down.....they will be in the conference tournament this year!

Good Luck to all the teams....but especially to the Blackburn Lady Beavers...you have worked your butts off this season to prove something to this conference...and it seems as if your new coach is really giving you the tools to be a successful team.....

SOMEONE has to knock off Maryville.....GO BC!!!
