The reality is that Wilmington and Thomas More did enter the week with 4 losses each and both got a few top 25 votes. If the BC women do not get any votes this week (you could make a case either way) they will after they defeat Hollins and Lynchburg this week.

Why do you think so? Is there something about Lynchburg and Hollins that vault them into poll-worthiness over last week?

odacbballfan:

You can't pad minutes, especially on a point guard. If the stat crew were to, for whatever reason you want to conjur up, check her out of the game while she was still in, who would get point guard stats while she was out?

The mere size of your sample makes your comparison ridiculous. Is a three-game average statistically reliable? No way.

It's a computer program. When the game is over you go in and look and see that Silva played 37 min in a 30 point game you just knock her down to 32 and give some one else some min. and it doesn't look as bad. That doesn't happen on the road so her number are acurate....It's not my fault they don't have any non-conference away games, might be another reason why they won't win the NCAA tounry cause they are home bodies.....Congratulations To Silva on her 2,000 points, have seen the stats from the game yet but I will give her what ever she scored today as legit try to get that record at home....

[Pat Coleman]

I don't think you're very familiar with stat crew. You'd have to go back in and change all the play-by-play involved with the time she was "out" as well as fabricate substitutions to get her out of the game.

Your line of accusation is growing tiresome and I don't know how much longer I'll tolerate your attempts to smear a sports information professional.

So now we are going to started editing peoples opinions. You don't have to agree with what I say but i am sue I am not the only person in the ODAC that feels this way, even if those people aren't posting on this web page. The stat crew CAN be changed with just a few extra minutes of work, I HAVE USED and am very aware of the proccess, and if someone wanted to change it they very easly could. Fact of the matter is if every one would stop being so in awe of RMC and start paying attention to some of the things that goes on at that place they would be surprised. And i'm not even talking about girls bball any more I am talking about all the sports at that place. Go to a home game count the people there then check the attendance on the box score....Yeah try and figure those numbers out and make them add up. but hey you dont have to believe a word I say what do i know.

[Pat Coleman]

Attendance is like that everywhere. You have got to be kidding me if you are going to hang any one particular school by that!

You can have any opinion you want. But at some point I'm not going to allow you to express that particular opinion on this board. This is private property and there are Terms of Service you need to abide by.

You have been formally warned. Think about it.

 Yesterday I attended the BC/EMU game. Marsha Kinder made a free throw that was not put on the scoreboard. In addition, the score on the board as time expired was 78-60 for BC but then 10 seconds later it was edited to 77-61.
  I am not trying to start a controversy about something that did not matter at that stage and BC had its own scoreboard worker. Perhaps they did a review of the scoreboard log and found it should have been 77-61 and not 78 or 79-60 because that is my only explaination. The announcers on the radio (I had a portable radio at the game) kept bringing it up for almost 10 minutes.
  Kinder's free throw was in the 1st half and no lane violation was called by the refs.

[Jeremybozz]

Pat you may be correct. We will see what your fellow voters decide Monday. If BC beats a decent Lynchburg team and Hollins and a few other teams lose then perhaps the Lady Eagles will get a few votes at that time.

[Pat Coleman]

Yeah, I don't think Bridgewater's resume looks any better, but it's definitely true that some teams that got votes look worse. Voters could either choose to consolidate to other teams already on the ballot or strike out on their own.

[odacbballfan]

Randolph Macon is the greatest school ever. We should all be thankful that they ae in the ODAC. We should all bow down to them and treat them like gods. matter of fact I think the rest of the season should be forfitted and RMC should be declared ODAC champions. Every stat in the ODAC is on the up and up, and anyone who thinks differently should be excommunicated. And only a computer genius with years and years of hacking expericne could change a stat, not that any one has ever done that becuase that is a crazy, absurd idea its a copmuter it is always right.........But if the computer is so smart how come when Silva came out of the VWC game with 22 secods left she got credited with 39 min of play and we she came out with 30 seconds left in the roanoke game  saturday night she still got credited with 40 its a shame thee is no way to fix that huh.......Bottom line the orginla post drew intrest and made people weigh in and actualy take notice, i thought that was what this board was all about. As far as "smearing peoples names" I would be willing to stand beside any statement that I made, but i will withdraw the acusation if it will please you.... as far as BC etting votes for the top 25...Beating Randy Mac one time, while Seemingly defying all natural laws in accordance with this board, does not qualify the eagles for top 25, However for sure beating the GREAT teams from lynchburg and Hollins should push them over the top.... Are you kidding me? and what I am saying about stat padding is far fetched, Sometimes I wonder if people actually have any idea what is going on outside in the real world that a majority of us live in.....And Pat if you decide that this is my last post then I hope everyone enjoys patting each other on the back and telling each other how great and smart  they are and how much they know about basketball.....right up unitil Macon gets beat in the ODAC tournament., then know somewhere i will be sitting in the stands smiling patting my own back.

If BC can hold at 4 losses they will eventually not only get votes but crack the top 25. Last week no one with more than 2 losses made the top 25. But to win out for the rest of the year might be a stretch.

What is your problem with R-MC?  Did we deny you admission?  Or are you simply tired of losing to us? What issues are you referring to 'at that place'?  What specifically would surprise me or anyone else 'at that place'?  Your openended accusations are tiredsome.

Don't know what is behind your rage at RM and Silva but if you are going to say crazy things like the college cheats in all their sports you don't need to be posting on the ODAC board.

Don't know what is behind your rage at RM and Silva but if you are going to say crazy things like the college cheats in all their sports you don't need to be posting on the ODAC board.

I would not call Stat padding, whether it be on or off the court, cheating. And never have I accused anyone of cheating, I don't remember saying Silva only scored 15 points today but she was credited with 31. That would be cheating. There is no question, that Silva is a great player and she earned every one of her 2,000 points (again congratulations) And i really dont have "rage" against RMC it is just amazing to me how EVERYONE, including non-RMS people run to their defense. I guess they are just following the old idea of "If you can't beat them, join them." Not me i'll just wait to watch them fall.
