Great effort by the Generals.  EMU wins by getting to the line (24-27), making their free throws and keeping the Generals off the line (4-4).  One of the keys to beating EMU for the last several years is to keep them off the line and make them run their offense.  Have to pick Guilford to win the tournament.  Strong coaching job this year for the Generals Coach Clancey.       

What has happened with RMC?  Not the usual start from them.

My almost preseason prediction:
EMU
VWC
GC
Hollins
LC
BC
RMC
W&L
Roanoke
Shendoah
E&H
Randolph

The Generals really getting respect for the last few years.  I cannot believe that they were picked 12th.  Sure they have a lot of freshmen but they have 3 solid seniors.  They will certainly be rebuilding this year.  Probably will not beat RMC 3 times like last year .

Good job by GC.  At last year's tournament I thought that they would be the team to beat this year.  They are athletic, have depth and size.  I do feel a little sorry for VWC for getting so close so often but not getting that last tournament win.  Great run by the Generals.  The last 4 years have been really fun to follow.  The seniors really led the way and the juniors were so strong this year.  What heart and finish by Meg Ingram.  She gave it her all and was so close to getting back to the finals.  I will miss those assists and big shots that she made.  Next year so course Guilford will be the favorite but watch out for Lynchburg.  Also I expect the Generals to surprise the league with their 3 strong juniors, just need a good recruiting class.  Best of luck to the ODAC.

I agree.  You could easily give coach of year honor to the Hollins coach.  Coach Pyzik of LC should also get some consideration.

Coach Pyzik has done a solid job at Lynchburg.  Brookland, next year I believe that you will be looking at the top half of the standings to follow LC.  You have an outstanding young coach.  It should be a good game this Friday with the Generals.  A win would be big for either team to build momentum going into the tournament.  I look for the senior leadership of the Generals to be the difference in this game. 

Sure is going to be a heartbreak for the last spot in the ODAC tournament.  By the way it looks and if the last 2 games go accordingly, Roanoke and Hollins may wind up with 7-13 records.  Roanoke's 2 wins over Hollins would put RC in and Hollins out.  As much as Hollins has improved, it is tough for them to not make it.  Another spot up for grabs is the 5 spot.  If BC loses to Guilford and beats E&H and W&L can beat Lynchburg and Randolph, W&L gets the 5 spot due to them sweeping BC.  It looks like the EMU and Guilford game is for the 2 spot.  Should be a good finish and hopefully a good tournament.

EMU has a nice team but their out of conference schedule will hurt them.  They have not played a ranked team that I am aware of.  Overall, the best out of conference win for the ODAC would be the Generals beating #4 CNU at CNU.  To get at large bids, the strength of schedule must improve and a few NCAA wins would really help the ODAC.  Just win the ODAC tournament and you get a bid.

Good win for the Generals.  Strange season in that they have swept RMC, Roanoke and Bridgewater and are only 8-8 in conference play.  It should be an interesting end for the regular season.  Look for an ODAC tournament where anything could happen.

Should be an interesting weekend with league leading Guilford going to Bridgewater and EMU.  I would not be surprised if they split these 2 games. 

Looks like the ODAC will be a wild scramble if Guilford comes back to the pack.  W&L hard to figure out this year but you can certainly say they are a scrappy team that refuses to quit.  Becca Bolton is a double-double machine.  Ingram seems to pull them together and make a play or pass when needed.  The game Tuesday at home against EMU is huge.  Maybe not the best pure basketball this year in the ODAC but it is interesting and exciting most games.

Good road win for the Generals over Christopher Newport, 51-50.  Good job on the boards and coming through in the clutch.

It appeared to me that 1 team wanted the game more.  Poor execution on defense and not very good movement on offense.  Slow starts for the last 3 years with good finishes.  I only hope that this year's team follows that pattern.  It will have to get better and show more heart if it is to improve.

Excellent point hoopsfan55 about the Johnson Scholarships.  Really good feeling beating RMC this Saturday.  The Generals will be a force come tournament time and I suspect RMC will also.  Go Generals
