WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[dukeofargyle]

"Go Generals. That didn't sound very positive, and I didn't mean that.  Trounce Guilford!"

generalee- Trounce? done and done- and against Guilford, a team of some note. No question that the gennies are deep & are capable of firing up on both ends of the hardwood.

-"What that says about the strength of the team - isn't much.  The important thing is to go forward. "

The puzzle for me here is that there is alot of talent in each of these players. Maybe the question is team dynamics, though in the last 2 games the offensive flow from the whole team - as a team- was there. I guess problem could be that they are personnel-heavy in the front and back classes, but not so many in Soph & Junior.

Anyway, just a thought... they have the weekend off before E&H comes to our house next Tuesday.

R-MC downs Guilford by 9 at Guilford. I tuned in with about 12 minutes left. Sortly after R-M took a 20 point lead. Suffenly Guilford starts making steals, hitting shots and goes on a 12-0 run. They eventually whittle the lead to 4, but R-M hung on.

Well LC put a bruising on EMU today, beating them 66-39. Carolyn Riley, the ODAC's leading scorer, was 0-11 from the field.

Emory & Henry beat Macon 76-68. Yes you read that correctly, the same team that lost to Randolph College beat Randolph-Macon.

I have thought for a long time that RMC was over-rated, and I guess the loss to E & H proves it.  There doesn't seem to be an "it" team in the ODAC this year.

How about them Wasps!  Came close in Ashland during the first meeting, but pulled it out this time!  Big win!

[whitecaylxx]

The Wasps did have a terrific win over RMC.   It will be interesting to see if they can gain any momentum from this success.  How about Lynchburg's thumping of EMU?  Everybody sure is keeping it interesting!

The LC win was quite impressive to say the least. They frustrated Riley from tip-off to the very end. Mostly every single shot was from free throw line out, highly contested, or just a poor shot attempt. She couldn't get anything she wanted.

Excited about tomorrow's matchup for the Generals with EHC. Wondering what the super sophomores of Emory, VA will bring to the Warner Center after they beat RMC. I guess the biggest thing, as usual, with the Wasps is how they shoot from outside. What allowed Guilford to get back in the game last week was their ability to hit 6 3's in the 2nd half. Everybody knows the Gennies are one of the tallest (if not the tallest) team in the league but are they quick enough to get out to the perimeter. It's very likely that the Warner Center will be at capacity, above-capacity or below capacity crowd on Tuesday...that's my guess.

Okay who do you all think is the player of the year?

Brittany Dahn: leads the ODAC inr ebounding by 2 boards a game, second in scoring, 9th fg%, 11th ft%, 9th blocks, 1st defensive/2nd offensive rebounds

Carolyn Riley: 1st scoring, 7th rebounding, 10th fg%, 6th ft%, 12th blocks, 3rd offensive/11th defensive rebounds

Molly Ariail: 3rd scoring, 5th rebounding, 5th fg%, 8th ft%, 7th blocks, 4th defensive/7th offensive rebounds

Heather Phillips: 6th scoring, 3rd rebounding, 13th ft%, 4th blocks, 3rd defensive/4th offensive rebounds


I voted for Dahn, but there is bias there seeing as how I'm an LC guy.

I'm excited for W&L the rest of the season. I think they have the talent to make a dent in the conference tournament since so many teams will be looking past them.

They have good guards , raw yet talented Big girls under the basket and a very knowledgeable coach. I wouldn't bet against them if they get their inside outside game going.

[generalee]

The only reason people would be looking past the Generals is because they have lost many winnable games this year.  Good guards play tough defense even when the shots don't fall; big girls hustle for the rebound everytime; knowledgeable coaches make the pieces work in close games to pull out the win.  W & L has the talented players - do they have the will?  Tonight will be a battle of wills.

[gottaluvhoops]

Brittany Dahn is an excellent player, I remember watching her two years ago, when I lived out there.  She gets my vote!
