After being taken to double overtime at home by Bridgewater, it was good to see the Lady Royals push back on the road over Guilford. http://www.emuroyals.com/sports/wbkb/2015-16/releases/20160109ub3406

^^ saw that one on Sat. & don't know exactly what to say except that Lynchburg clearly wanted that win. They also have some monster performers. Hope the Jackets can get it going fast tonight!

GO JACKETS!!!!

And the Jackets got a great win at home last night! Hannah Livermon with 29 & Katie Anderson gets her 9th double double (20/14) of the season.

GO JACKETS!!!

Followed the live stats of R-MC's win at Bridgewater. Hard to come up with words to describe the kind of season Katie Anderson is having. Every bit as impressive as the season Lamont Moore is having for the men. If it were a contest Katie might have an edge.

Too bad Emory and Henry does not nourish a posting community. The Wasps are putting up quite a season and emerging from a bad stretch.

^^^ My observation is that posting all over the d3hoops boards has been slowing down over time. Don't know if that's true or not, but it seems so. And, yes, the E&H women are having a good season. I think there were signs last season that they were getting better.

Looks like from the stats the Jackets fought hard at Randolph but couldn't pull out the win. They should re-group at home this weekend & hopefully finish strong in February.

GO JACKETS!!!

I wonder what happened on the trip out that caused the delay in arrival and subsequent start of the game, because it definitely had an impact on R-MC's production in several categories. They didn't make a 3 point shot until the 4th quarter, and made only 22% of 3's attempted for the game.

Their overall shooting percentage was 38.5% for the game and only 8.3%

in the 3rd quarter. They were not much better from the charity stripe either, only making 19 of 32 freebies! They had averaged almost 84% in FT shooting over the prior six games. If they had maintained that average alone, it would have resulted in an additional 7 points on the board. The combined effect was obviously too much to overcome and I would say very uncharacteristic.

I agree 2Fans, I hope they figure out how to recover quickly or it will be a very l o n g and painful February for Yellow Jackets everywhere.

Hope to see a big crowd and many old friends and former players at Back to the Hive this weekend. Go O D D's!!!

I am going to reiterate what I said earlier about R-MC's roster size. There is men's team in the conference I follow out here in the midwest that has four players who could start for any team in the conference. But after that they have only another 4 or 5 players and the talent level drops off a good bit. Consequently they are winless in conference and as the season wears on the guys who are playing 30-35 minutes every game are getting worn out. I think a team needs 13-15 players, 8 or 9 of whom are good enough to put on the floor every game. I think the R-MC women have 7 players, tops, who can help the team win. Factor that in with normal travel to away games, not to mention last night's travel issues, plus a long season, and the wins get harder to come by.

^^^ I just looked at the box score from last night's game and I see a new name -- Lexi Mallory. If all non-graduating players return, that will be seven next year plus new incoming players. I know recruiting doesn't always work out as hoped, but bringing in at least six next season would be ideal.
