Thanks Oneseal. Probably harder on you than it was for me to just sit and read.

Like I said this afternoon this was our game as long as Orton posted up and RMC played their A game. Neither happened. Orton was on the bench half the night, and the Yellow Jackets didn't play well.

All things end.

Great season ladies.

Megan Silva, what can we say?? Thanks for the ride. It has been a great 4 years. We won't see someone like you in the ODAC for another decade at least. You are the best. !!

Thanks, onesealteam!

The South Region goes back to the Final Four.

A good performance by the Cowgirls will push the reputation that is building in the South Region...2003 Trinity -- Champion, 2005 RMC --finalist, 2006 HSU -- ?

Great season to RMC!

Silva, I know you will be greatly missed by RMC, but you WILL NOT be missed by any of the other ODAC schools, and I mean that as a compliment.

One ODAC team in the Elite 8, and two in the Sweet 16...what a great year for the ODAC!!!

I am so proud of my Yellow Jackets right now... I have no words for how amazing this team is and all the ladies that are on it. This season has been so great to watch them grow - I definitely miss being out on that court with ALL OF THEM, and they played their hearts out to the very last second. Great job to all of the seniors - I know what you're going through right now!!! To all the returners for next year... work hard and you'll go even farther! Congrats to the Yellow Jackets on a FANTASTIC season... love you girls!

FINAL: HS 72 RMC 56.
Further comments at a later date. 

RMC was just off. 32% from floor last night vs. our 47% avg. HSU only shot 35%, should have blown them away.
10% on 3's vs our 33% avg.
Orton sitting on bench for 20 minutes to stay out of foul trouble was huge. We coach by formula to increase the odds of winning. This works out well most the time. Sometimes in tournaments though more risk needs to be taken. With Orton out it just wasn't happening.

Bad night, great season.

Thanks RMC !!

Thanks for the ride, Ms. Silva!!

I am sorry we could not go further in the NCAAs this year, but what cause have I to complain?  The last four years have been great!
