WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[odacfan99]

Who won the RMC game today??? It was at 4:00, so I am dissapointed that we don't have any updates yet

I had to get on the Averett website last night to figure out who won that game.

What about all the other ODAC games that took place yesterday and today?

RMC won convincingly - don't remember the score but they won by 20+ points.  The game was never really close as the Jackets led by 22 at the half.  In an earlier post I predicted it would take 6 games to figure out team chemistry but it looks like they already have that happenin'.  Methodist is a big physical team with a strong low post game but nothing much from the perimeter. RMC defended the Monarchs accordingly which lead to the convincing win. The Jackets go 9 deep without losing a beat, at least based on the results and play after 2 games.  Marta Merkel and Kristin Morgan were named to the tournament team and Morgan was named the MVP.  If these games are accurate indicators of what's to come, this RMC squad will be serious contenders for the ODAC title.  The ODAC competition begins for them in 2 weeks at home against W&L and Bridgewater.  Stay tuned...

Like I said before nothing to worry about with RMC they took out the average teams from the USASAC (regretably so ODAC still has USASAC number)  E&H had a good showing this weekend going 2-0.  USA South Conference favorites went 1-1 in that same tournament (never played E&H though)  (I don't think Greensboro has ever started 2-0 in history)  They have Guilford this Tuesday.  Nova going to make the trip.

Final score of RMC/Methodist game was 86-58

5 players in double figures - Morgan (11), Merkel (16, 13 in 1st half), Hiltunen (13), Riesbeck (11) and Ariail (10).   Ariail had three steals, but caused at least 3 others too.  I'm definitely looking forward to the first ODAC games.

Didn't seem like as many turnovers as yesterday and definitely not as many fouls (15 for the game today versus 24 last night).

Stein may be able to by next games  12/1 and 12/2 or shortly thereafter.

Dave Walters does a great job with all Guilford sports.   McMurry easily bests Guilford's young Quakers, 78-44, (MU proved why they deserve to be ranked!) and the SUNY-Oneonta Red Dragons overpower Bennett, 82-48 (it may be a long season for the Belles).

hasanova, thanks for the props.  The frightening thing about that comment is that there are at least 2 other teams in the ASC-West that are that good (Howard Payne and Hardin-Simmons) and maybe a 3rd (Mary Hardin-Baylor).

Big game tonight versus the preseason ODAC no. 1 and no. 2.  After looking over the stats from VWC's first three games, in particular their last two, it seems they have having trouble rebounding the ball, making shots, and blocking shots.  They are being outrebounded by 15 a game, they are shooting less than 40% from the field, and they only blocked two shots.

If BC can control the boards and play good defense, we should be OK.

can anyone provide some updates on the bridgewater/vw game?

can anyone provide some updates on the bridgewater/vw game?

Don't know the final but BC was up ~10pts with a minute to go. It was 32-28 at the half. BC had almost 30 turnovers, but VWC missed almost as many layups. 

Sounds like a typical 2nd game of the season to me. Onward and upward.
