Ingram always looks to feed the post. I believe that she has a lot of assists.

Nice to see the ODAC represented in the most recent DIII national poll.

Feb. 17

7:00 PM Lynchburg Bridgewater

Predictions?

Feb. 17

7:00 PM Lynchburg Bridgewater
This one might be tight. Lynchburg is revived after their off-court issue. I still go w/ BC on it though. More talent, home court advantage- that typically equals a win.

7:00 PM Randolph Guilford
This might be closer than we all expect. Regardless, Randolph just doesn't pack enough punch to pull out the W.

7:00 PM Hollins Emory & Henry
It hurts to consistently pick against Hollins. Bad.

7:00 PM Eastern Mennonite Washington & Lee
W&L didn't play too bad at RMC Saturday. They come in with the same intensity, a win won't be surprising here.

Tsk, Tsk, Eaglejacket 1421 - Randolph takes Guilford 73 - 68.

eaglejacket1421 · February 17, 2009, 10:06:12 PM

You probably won't believe me when I say this, but... I had an inkling but was just too chicken to put my full confidence in it... That'll teach me to doubt Randolph again

Well before we all head down to Salem - we have a little business to take care of:

Feb. 20

7:00 PM Washington & Lee    Roanoke

   7:00 PM    Bridgewater    Hollins

   7:00 PM    Virginia Wesleyan    Emory & Henry

   7:00 PM    Randolph-Macon    Guilford

   7:00 PM    Lynchburg       Randolph

Feb. 21

4:00 PM Virginia Wesleyan    Guilford

   4:00 PM    Randolph-Macon    Emory & Henry

   4:00 PM    Roanoke         Eastern Mennonite

   4:30 PM    Bridgewater       Washington & Lee

   5:30 PM    Hollins         Lynchburg

The Lynchburg / Randolph game aside, eaglejaceket1421, I would say the only really dicey one is the Bridgewater / Washington and Lee game. Bridgewater is playing really well now. Of course they also have Jean Willi at the helm. My roll goes with Bridgewater.

Feb. 20

7:00 PM Washington & Lee Roanoke
Coach Dunigan has the 'Nokes playing some excellent basketball.

7:00 PM Bridgewater Hollins

7:00 PM Virginia Wesleyan Emory & Henry
Va Wesleyan needs to use this game to tweak all of the little things that have caused them a little dismay. We all know this team is better than the product they've been putting out on the floor.

7:00 PM Randolph-Macon Guilford
Yellow Jackets shouldn't look over Guilford. After losing to Randolph, I imagine they feel like they have something to prove.

7:00 PM Lynchburg Randolph........ Just kidding, give me Lynchburg. How quickly I forget.

Feb. 21

4:00 PM Virginia Wesleyan Guilford
Second tough opponent of the weekend for Guilford. Expect them to be banged and bruised up after a physical RMC game.

4:00 PM Randolph-Macon Emory & Henry
Tough weekend on the road for RMC. They lost to Emory and Henry last year or the year before last?. It wasn't pretty. I'm sure they remember.

4:00 PM Roanoke Eastern Mennonite
What happened to EMU? They showed so much promise at the start of the year, regardless of the loss of Caroline Riley....

4:30 PM Bridgewater Washington & Lee
This game is at W&L, so my pick could quite possibly be completely off - but I'll keep my faith in Jean Willi. She typically doesn't have room for messing around at this point in the season.

5:30 PM Hollins Lynchburg
Anybody else feel for #14 on Hollins? She could have made a significant impact on any of the other ODAC schools. Maybe sixth man on some teams, but overall a pretty solid contributor .

Anybody else want to participate with some predictions??

Bammer · February 19, 2009, 06:46:13 AM

Feb. 20
Upset with W&L over Roanoke 3 point game at Lexington, Generals are much improved
Bridgewater over Holins
VWC over E&H
Upset #2 Guilford over RMC Look for Seufer to have a big game
Lynchburg over Randolph

Feb.21
Picking the Generals over Bridgewater They will not lose at home
Only other game of interest is VWC at Guilford picking Guilford in an upset

eaglejacket1421 · February 19, 2009, 10:57:47 AM

Bammer, that's a ton of confidence in a team that just lost to Randolph...

hoopstermom · February 19, 2009, 12:03:51 PM

Latest regional poll out. Both Roanoke and Randolph-Macon in the top 6 in South Region!!!! Good for the ODAC.

South
1. Oglethorpe 21-2 16-2
2. Texas-Dallas 20-3 20-2
3. Greensboro 21-1 20-0
4. Roanoke 21-2 19-2
5. Randolph-Macon 18-5 15-4
6. McMurry 18-5 16-4

Bammer · February 19, 2009, 01:22:16 PM

Eaglejacket, I just have a hard time getting on the VWC bandwagon. They seem to play some tight games that should not be tight. Guilford has the same problem but being at home and closing out the season, they should give a good effort. Congrats to Roanoke and RMC on being in the top 6.

hasanova · February 19, 2009, 01:51:54 PM

I can't remember any of the details, but TV network "x" was talking to DI Head Coach "y" about the secret of his success at university "z." Simply, he said it was because he consistently defeated the teams he was supposed to beat and was competitive against the teams he wasn't expected to beat.

Quakers (and I'm a Guilford alumnus), you messed this up at home against Randolph Tuesday night!

"Eaglejacket, I just have a hard time getting on the VWC bandwagon. They seem to play some tight games that should not be tight. Guilford has the same problem but being at home and closing out the season, they should give a good effort. "

I'm with you on the VWC topic, but could you honestly see a team that just lost to Randolph taking down RMC who is steam rolling at this point?

Playing at Guilford is never easy, but I can't see them pulling off the double upset - one or the other - not both... Then again, I didn't see that happening for Roanoke when they had an identical weekend.

If I had to vote a team as "Most Disappointing" I'd place my ballot in VWC's hat. They should have been MUCH better than they have been. I picked them to win the ODAC regular season, that's certainly not going to happen. A lot of question marks being raised in Va Beach.

Very good. The ODAC has a real shot at an at large bid with these two teams in the regional rankings.
