WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

R-MC won today over Neumann by 12 and Katie Anderson doesn't play after scoring 19 points and grabbing 9 rebounds in  37 minutes yesterday. You have to think the margin would have been greater if Anderson had played. Hope she's okay.

EMU dropped Sewanee and Berry at Roanoke's Tip Off Classic over the weekend.  As expected Jess Rheinheimer led the way, but it looks like first year Lady Royal Lindsey Krisak from Alexandria, Va is a player to watch.  http://www.emuroyals.com/sports/wbkb/2015-16/releases/201511221nzrrz

Good to see that Katie Anderson was back on the court tonight, but another player was sick and didn't play. Must be a bug going around. Hope it isn't affecting anyone else, but if it is I hope everyone gets well soon. Nice win on the road against a solid opponent.

Preseason first and second ranked ODAC teams played last night at EMU with Lynchburg winning.  It is the only meeting of the two this regular season.  http://www.emuroyals.com/sports/wbkb/2015-16/releases/201511250gaxgb

Lady Royals knocked off Ferrum in a close match.  Good to see the women rebound from the loss earlier in the week.  http://www.emuroyals.com/sports/wbkb/2015-16/releases/20151128opmxoi

Nice article in the Lancaster, Pa., newspaper about Lady Royals star Jess Rheinheimer.  http://lancasteronline.com/sports/basketball/college/former-blazer-jess-rheinheimer-off-to-terrific-start-for-eastern/article_8093188e-9d3e-11e5-a818-0f3cff50eb7a.html

EMU runs Hood out of the gym to finish up their 2015 part of season.  That was with bench players getting most of the minutes in the 4th quarter.  They are 7-2 as they get geared up for the 2016 start.  http://www.emuroyals.com/sports/wbkb/2015-16/releases/20151219tvyjgh

Very quiet board this season:

I watched some of the R-MC game against Greensboro. Came in with the Jackets leading early in the 3rd period and extended the lead to around 20, then let it slip away in the 4th before holding on for the 8 point win.

I think I mentioned a while back that with only 10 players, 4 of whom will graduate, I have to wonder about next season for the Jackets. I know coach LaHaye doesn't like a huge roster, but with 10 players if you lose even one to injury for a while it has to cause problems in practice. Lose more than one and...

I know some schools out here in Illinois and Missouri that have a hard time getting players and have rosters of only 8 or 9. I don't think getting players should be a problem for R-MC, however. Seems like 13-15 players is an ideal roster size.

^ good points!  Hopefully, the coaches are preparing already. 

GO JACKETS!!!!

Didn't get to watch today's R-MC/LC game, so would love to hear comments from anyone who did. From what I have been able to watch so far this season and looking at today's box score, I'd have to say the Jackets have some issues on defense.
