WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[odacbballfan]

My point was not that Katy is the only one to carry their team - it was that she carries her team.  I also believe other players carry their team at times - but not better than she does hers.

I have NO Idea what you just said.........

Whatever - and you wonder why more people don't talk on this board.

VWC had a good game Saturday....BC did not. With as even as these teams are, it's all about who gets hot in the tournament that will be the last standing. Whether its RMC, VWC, EMU, or BC...or even one of the other ODAC teams...who knows?

Katy Herr Lovell's game is not defined by being a scorer, vwcbeachbum, so to say she didn't carry her team because she did not score the other night is not a credible statement. Katy leads her team by more then stats. She leads by hustle, by attitude, by example.

Katy had the flu on Saturday, she missed practice Friday because she was throwing up and she was still throwing up on game day, but she made the trip and tried to carry this BC team to a win. That shows leadership and it shows someone who does carry a team because even though they're sick, they still feel the need to be out there.

VWC played better and won the game and deserves some congratulations for knocking off a team that beat them by 16 earlier in the season.

However, I am hoping we will see the Marlins again in the post seasn....and then who knows what will happen? It will be exciting to find out!

I think there's still some "Silva" envy going on. 

Do you RMC fans use every excuse you can to talk about Silva? Everyone on this board has agreed that Silva was an AMAZING player...even vwcbeachbum admitted that, but she is no longer playing in the ODAC. No one has "Silva envy" and I am pretty sure not that many people even think about Silva (except you RMC fans) because Silva is in the past! RMC fans, you all have a very good team THIS YEAR to celebrate and be proud of. Talk about that and drop the constant Silva chatter.

I know this post will probaby create some more "silva-envy-conspiracy-theories" and everyone will think fairmont is envious of Silva, but such is not true....I am just sick of always hearing RMC fans bring up Silva.

You know what....I wonder what Jennifer King from Guilford did against VWC? or Laura Ludholtz of EMU? Hmmmm.......

[odacbballfan]

Oh how soon we forget... If everyone will scroll back to page 75 of the ODAC post you will find a post from kid that has Silva's career stats along side KHL stats. If you really want to make that comparison then you have to talk about all aspects. Yes Katie has done and still does many things to help her team go. She MAY be the best all around player in the ODAC right now. She does not have the same take over a game ability that Silva had, and I am not sure she has the same take over ability that even a Hanson. a Reisback, or in the past few weeks an Arial does. She directs her team, she is the one who makes that team go, but I am not sure she has "take over" ability. That is just an opnion, it is not a shot at Katie or at the basketball abilities she posses..... BC fans answer this question... Down 1 in the championship game who do you want taking your last shot? KHL? Childs? Scales?.... If you have to think twice at all then think about the same question with Silva on your team. No question who takes that shot.  Lighten up a little and just have a conversation without being so defensive all the time.... Geeze I will be glad when this conversation is over so I can stop with the Silva Praise

[elee109]

No question about it......Herr takes the last shot..........

Fair enough. Thanks. Anyone else?

The only reason Silva has been brought up consistently is because people have been comparing Herr-Lovell to her, like there is even a comparison?? And FYI, there is nothing wrong with bringing up a player who had such a huge lasting impact on the ODAC, like Megan Silva did. We are very proud of our team this year and we have posted saying so, so dont undermine our excitment for them (who wasn't supposed to be that good anyway with Silva). You are getting sick of hearing about Silva? Then find a player just as talented who can win DIII POY, three times ODAC POY and take her team to the national championship and then I promise we will talk about her just as much

[odacbballfan]

Oh geeze here I go again... Balleer116.. (deep breath and a sigh).... I agree......

I think with Silva there was no question who "the best was" now I think there is a HUGE question as to who the "best" is.

fairmont 1113 -- The only reason Silva was brought up is because Kid said, "Find me an ODAC player who has produced better against your Marlins for their career" (in comparison to KHL). There was no use of the term, "current player," so that's why jmill07 mentioned Silva.

We are and will always be proud of her (case in point, the #11 is being retired this Friday night in her honor).

I disagree with jmill07 that there is any "Silva envy" on this board... but I also disagree with you when you insinuate that we are not proud of our team THIS YEAR. They are obviously an outstanding team who *in my opinion* will finish the season #1 and sweep the ODAC Tournament (again... that's MY opinion... everyone else is welcome to their own analysis of the end of the season).

Oh and by the way...

Jennifer King vs. VWC -- Record, 5-3
PPG - 15.9
RPG - 5
SPG - 2.1
APG - 3

Laura Ludholtz vs. VWC -- Record, 5-0
PPG - 7.4
RPG - 8.6
SPG - 2
APG - 3.6

Any other players you want the stats for? 

[fairmont1113]

RMCAlum....when did I say you weren't proud of your current team? I said stop talking about Silva and start focusing on your current team.  Silva has been brought up a lot more this season then just recently when Kid posed his question. All I was saying is Silva was amazing, no question about it, but the key word there is "was".

I agree with you, I think RMC will finish regular season #1, but I think it will be interesting to see if they actually run the table in the ODAC tournament.

Also, RMC was picked #3 preseason and a lot of people were talking highly of their team this year, so, baller116, I am not sure that your comment about RMC not being any good without Silva was that accurate. Maybe you thought that, but not everyone else.

Katy Herr Lovell takes the last shot.

Two years ago she stole the ball and was fouled going to the basket in the final seconds against VWC. BC was down by 1, and Lovell sunk both free throws with 1 second left to give BC the win.

Last year Lovell made a lay-up over Megan Silva in overtime with 1 second left to give BC a 83-81 win over the #8 team in the nation.

This year....Lovell shot a three-pointer with 10 seconds left that went in to give BC a one point lead over Roanoke, but was waved off by the refs because it hit the shot clock, then Lovell forced a turnover, but missed a lay-up at the buzzer and Roanoke won.
Lovell was given the ball with seconds left against #17 Mary Washington down by 2 and drove to the basket and was fouled and hit both free throws to send the game into OT. BC lost in OT.


Many times when the game has come down to the wire the ball is in Lovell's hands. Those are just a few examples....so yes....give the ball to Lovell.

[fairmont1113]

At the half.....

RC- 36
BC- 28

BC started out on fire hitting 6 of their first 9 shots to take a 23-13 lead, then Roanoke went on a 17-0 run to go up 30-23 before Amy Childs finally stopped the run by hitting one of two free throws. The Maroons finished the half outscoring the Eagles 23-5 to take the eight point lead into half.

[fairmont1113]

with 10:17 left in the ball game....

RC- 54
BC- 42

BC cut the Roanoke lead to just 3, but Roanoke once again went on a run to push the lead back to double digits.

[fairmont1113]

with 6:16 left in the game......

BC- 48
