Roanoke deff should be the favorite going into the tourney, they have great size inside, and even if you shut them down, their guards shoot lights out, they have a very very good bench, RMC will give them a run, but I think they have the size to shut down Molley on the inside.

no problem duke, ive been to 4 games there this year so far and the first time i didnt know where the gym was so i drove around campus for a while and i was very impressed.

They deff did a great job at getting good athlete that know that school comes first, deffinately a very talented team, and your right most other players couldnt get into that school

London Fletcher deserves alot more credit then he gets, hes a tackling machine.

my knowledge of these programs comes from talking to parents and other fans. regardless of what you say this is a forum, so for you to attack me for having an opinion is wrong honestly. but like me, your also welcome to your opinion.

yea 2 starters quit/ were dismissed depending on whos story you get, and another starter transfered to roanoke. and yea washington lee is a very good school, and their ability to field good teams despite their very high academic standards is quite amazing. And may i add they have a very nice campus compared to many schools in the area, or the country for that matter.

Anyone think VWU can upset EMU tomorrow?

Roanoke is very well coached, and their coaches know exactly when to rest someone rather than leave them in until they are mentally and physically exhausted. They seemed to play a pretty deep bench, lynchburg played 8 players, until about 5 minutes left in the game, and even then they didnt empty their bench till about a minute 30 left. With about 15 minutes left, and lynchburg down by about 12 or 15 points you could see that "holy crap" look in their players faces, if it was that clear to the people in the crowd, why not change out 2 of the 5 players and get fresh legs in the game? LC played a great first half, and to say Roanoke "woke up" at the half isnt exactly accurate, i think it was more of LC getting warn down. When you have the size roanoke does inside, you should be able t run that inside out offense easily. and thats pretty much what they did.

Lynchburg lost another close game to EMU tonight, is EMU the better team? Player wise probably not, but they were outcoached in the second half, regardless they were without Danielle Moorad because of disciplinary reasons, but lynchburg had alot of momentum late in the second half and their coach called a time out, and then EMU has time to compose itself and finish out the game, I hate to say this, but i believe with all the talent lynchburg has there is no reason they should be playing as badly as they are. If they were physically outmatched that'd be one thing, but they are sloppy and commit to many turnovers, and that lands on the back of the coaching staff. Congrats girls on a hard fought game.

Agreed on the turnover, seems like thats been a common theme for their struggles this year. tonight was another example of that, I dont know how many turnovers they committed but there was alot. Its not even just their young players either, they were down 39 to 33 at the half, then roanoke went on a huge run to start the second half. Burgs future looks good tho with alot of their talent being young.

So i went and saw the virginia wesleyen game today, and i was dumb founded by the "home court advantadge" that they had with the refs, even the way the refs interacted with the two coaches was totally one sided. I witnessed the one female ref actually change the way she was making her charging and blocking calls based on what the vwu coach said to her, and when the lynchburg coach mentioned something to the same ref, she responded with an immediate attitude towards her, i dont know if the refs read these boards, but they should be ashamed of the impact that they had on the out come of the game. every time LC would get on a roll, the refs would make an abserd call, and it wouldnt have been bad if they were horrible towards both teams, but even VWU parents were commenting after the game about how one sided it was. Kinda makes me wonder what kinda training they make these people go through before they put them in stripes and stick them on the court.

After watching 2 seasons of basketball in this conference, the odac has the worst group of refs i may have ever seen.
