WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[Jacketlawyer]

Seeing we have a history (a positive one) on the football board and at this past season's Stagg Bowl, I'm GLAD you've posted here!

I was simply calling out those Jacket fans that were all over this board last season during their dominance.  Then they crawled under a *insert something heavy* once this season began.  What kind of a fan is that?! 

Shoot, BC is on a two-game skid right now, but I'm still yappin' away like a know-it-all.

Our history is good, and I appreciate it, Kid, and I'm keeping it that way!  I enjoy you Bridgewater guys!

Keep after the R-M fans!  I have noticed an ebb and flow on all of the boards (or wax and wan, if you will) corresponding to the rise and fall of the respective teams.  I'm sure you have, too.

Some fans just aren't as stalwart as you are!

Anyway, I think we've got plenty of talent on this year's ladies' team, but the Megan Silva era has left us with quite a legacy to carry.  I'll be watching the ladies very closely for the rest of the year; I think they'll make another ODAC title run!

Valleybballfan and GAVA -   Sounds like you all have some personal issues with Morgan. 

What in the world are you talking about? I have no issue with Morgan, only mentioned she doesn't score much. I have praised all of her other abilites. Seems like you are the one with issues.

[GAVA]

Ahhhh, R-MC beats BC and here come the Jacket fans.  I love it!



So ... will you Jacket fans be sticking around?

Some of us are always here Kid.

[odacbballfan]

Haha you guys wanna talk numbers here is a number for you 4.5%. That is what 1-22 comes out to and that is what VWC shot from 3 point range vs EMU. VWC WAS in the top ten in the nation with 7 3 point field goals per game before the shooting on tuesday. Hopefully they will re-find the stroke with two big home games this weekend. Wonder what upsets the ODAC had in store for us this weekend.

Wonder what upsets the ODAC had in store for us this weekend.

Ehh, I don't know.  All the games this weekend are pretty cut and dry.  All the home teams will be favored.

If I had to pick an upset, I'd say Guilford picking off either VWC or R-MC on their I-81 roadtrip.

I was at the BC-RMC game last night.  Anyone can say what they will about Morgan's lack of scoring but the job she did on Katie H-L was masterful!   Her defensive contribution was as valuable as Hiltunen and Riesbeck's offensive fire power - in a 5 point game, an average defensive effort against KHL could made a 6 point difference and a different outcome!  Keep up the pressure Kristen!!

Strange logic    The headlines for this game were " Riesbeck and Hiltunen combine for 45 points", not " Herr is held to 9 points instead of her 13 point average". Enough. Lets move on to this week games.

I agree, GAVA. I am not sure "masterful" is how you would describe Morgan's performance...I was at the game and so I saw first hand. Good play, but "masterful" might be a bit much. However, we've talked this one to death and everyone will have their own opinions.

Here's tonight's line-up....

Friday, January 26

Lynchburg at Bridgewater

Hollins at Roanoke

R-M Woman's Coll. at Eastern Mennonite

Emory & Henry at Virginia Wesleyan
   
Guilford at Randolph-Macon


No surprises for me.

Strange logic    The headlines for this game were " Riesbeck and Hiltunen combine for 45 points", not " Herr is held to 9 points instead of her 13 point average". Enough. Lets move on to this week games.

I like a fan who can be realistic about his/her team!  GAVA admitting the lack of logic to  a "Masterful Morgan" even when she is his/her team's starting point guard. And Valley anmitting his/her point guard is in a slump.

Valleybballfan and GAVA - I really don't think a coach of RMC's caliber is going to play Morgan an average of 29 minutes a night just because she's a senior.  From her stats (except for the almighty scoring stat) she seems like a very good player - one who would be missed.  Sounds like you all have some personal issues with Morgan. 

And what is this??? A VWC fan coming to the defense of RMC? Even when an RMC fan is arguing the point of debate ohterwise!!! Wow!

About my picks....I'm not even going to put them up here, just mark me down for all the home teams and of course, no upsets there.

Will Bridgewater be posting live stats or airing next Tuesday's game against University of Mary Washington?

[GAVA]

RMC win streak goes to 8 games.

[Pray4Surf]

VWC 88 E&H 55 Lauren Rector led the marlins with 18 points followed by Wheeler and Phillips both with 9. All in all a decent game for the marlins a little sloppy at times but all in all a great win. The marlins are back in action again tomorrow afternoon against Guilford. Go marlins!

Riesbeck and Hiltunen again with combined 40 points.

BC won by a score of 74-66 over Lynchburg. Bridgewater played extremely sloppy and they were not clicking for most of the game. The Eagles were without Torri Ruckman (ACL) and Jessica Timberlake (hip, will return soon) who account for 15 pnts a game, and Becca Henderson went out in the first half with an ankle sprain, but got it taped at half and came back and had a huge game scoring a career high 18 points and 5 blocks.

You got to hand it to Lynchburg though, they have some talented freshmen who will make some noise in the ODAC in years to come. Coach Tobey has done a good job and is very encouraging to these youngsters.

Katy Herr Lovell picked up the slack tonight for the Eagles as she recorded another double double with 22 points and 11 rebounds, she also had 7 steals.
