WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

Guilford 64,BC 61 Final

Booker misses a 3 with 3 seconds left that would have tied it.
Congrats to the Quakers.

Thanks, Jeremybozz.  It was a game of runs.  GC was up 52-49, then BC went on a 10-0 run to take a 59-52 lead with about 2 minutes to go.  From that point, it was 12-2 Quakers for the win, but BC did have the last shot for a tie.

Real props go out to the Wildcats for a scrappy, feisty game with a lot of heart. They sure put together an impressive offensive effort.  With only a 3 person RC bench, this was a game with 40 exciting minutes of play made up from mostly the RC starters.

Not sure what the issue was, but no one can afford to be complaisant in February. The Generals definitely 'escaped' with the win this time.

Or, perhaps, even complacent.

Thanks for the catch, hasanova.

– hmmm... how about 'overconfident', then? (Even I can spell that one!)

[Brookland]

Hmmm - let's see...checking dictionary.com...:
"Complaisant -adjective
inclined or disposed to please; obliging; agreeable or gracious; compliant"

The original statement works for me as well!
Sounds like W&L may have been complacent, but Randolph certainly wasn't complaisant!!

Yeah, I knew both would work as well .... so that's why I said "or, perhaps, even complacent", but I agree with the W&L being "complacent" and Randolph "not" being "complaisant" comment.  Scrabble anyone?

I'm confident it'll work and that you can spell it!

WOW. Thanks for the grammar & syntax input, everyone!!!

Just goes to show you that maybe we should be complaisant in playing scrabble here online, because I am complacent that there sure won't be ANY games today to discuss!

*SIGH*

Yeah, I know.  I was supposed to be at the EMU at Guilford game today and it's now rescheduled for 2 pm on Feb. 14 - and I have a conflict - so I'll have to miss it!  Quaker men were supposed to be at W&L and it's been moved as well - this time to Feb. 16.    On the bright side, it is a good day for Scrabble!

Hey, still one game left this weekend! Lynchburg at W&L postponed from Friday night to Sunday at 2. And you're right! This Scrabble does pass the time...

Nice to see W&L in third place even if it is by half a game.  Tough schedule ahead but most of it is at home.  Good win yesterday against a hot shooting Lynchburg team.  I thought that they went fairly deep into their bench and were a scrappy team.

[whitecaylxx]

As Lynchburg is a 9th placed team - it wasn't really a statement win.  But the Hornets do have that RMC feather in their cap from December.

[RVAHokie]

Definitely not a signature win, but Lynchburg was hot from behind the arc in the second half.  W&L played well down the stretch without Herman (foul trouble).  Free-throw shooting was definitely an issue for the Gennies until the final few minutes.

The two last second losses to VWC will probably end up making a big difference to W&L in final standings.  Of the top 7 teams today, Other than Roanoke and Bridgewater, the others still have at least 4 games against each other.  The final standings at least from 2 thorugh 7 could be a moving target for the last two weeks.  Let the Games Begin!
