Final from Midwest games--

Chicago 82, NYU 71

Brandeis 86, Wash U 81

Brandeis-- 3rd lifetime victory in St Louis-- 5th lifetime victory over Wash U overall. 

It does not matter how young Wash U is; any Brandeis win over Wash U is sweet.

LOL!

Yes it is, 'deis!  Congrats to the Judges for the victory at WashU last night.

The young Bears need to be more disciplined and not get caught exceeding the quarterly foul limit.  They sent Brandeis to the free throw line 31 times; not a good idea when Brandeis shoots 78.4% from the free throw line--#2 in Division III.  The Judges were an uncharacteristic 12-17 from the FT line (70%) through 3 quarters...but they were 11 of 14 in the 4th quarter.  Brandeis outscored WashU 23-12 from the charity stripe.

In one quarter last night, WashU had only 1 team foul to Brandeis' 4...but minutes later WashU had committed its 5th team foul to send Brandeis to double-bonus free throws...while Brandeis remained at 4 fouls.  An early rash of fouls in the quarter usually leads to a few opponent points early, and a lot of opponent points near the end of a quarter.  Just too much needless difficulty to generate for oneself.

Source:  Wash U Women's Basketball Record Book--

Did you know?

1.) From.the 1984-85 season, when the WU Field House opened, until yesterday-- no Wash U women's basketball team ever lost more than 3 home games in a single season.  Yesterday, Wash U took home loss #4 of the season.

2.,) Yesterday was only the second time that Wash U went 0-2 vs Brandeis and NYU on the same weekend, and only the first time that this event happened in the WU Field House.  The last time this event took place was the 1995-96 season when Wash U lost at the Coles Center in New York and at Auerbach Arena in Waltham on the same road trip.

3.). Last time Wash U had a losing season?  In 1982-83, when the Bears went 5-12 under coach Gaye Kinnett.

4.). In the Nancy Fahey era, Wash U only had 8 season losses in the 2007-08 season.  No Bears team took more than 8 losses in a season under coach Fahey.

A quick look.at the UAA after.the third weekend of play--

1.) Emory is 5-0 in conference play-- best conference start in program history.

2.). Chicago is second at 4-1.

3.). NYU and CWRU are tied for third at 3-2.

Probably out of contention is Brandeis at 2-3, as the Judges need to run the table for a shot at the AQ.

Realistically out of the hunt for the AQ are Carnegie Mellon, Wash U, and Rochester at 1-4 in UAA play.

Since Johns Hopkins left the UAA at the end of the 2000-2001 season, no share of the UAA title has ever gone to a team finishing 10-4 or worse in UAA play.

Chicago has a road loss to CWRU.

NYU has a home loss to Emory and a road loss to Chicago, with only a home win vs Brandeis keeping the Violets in the hunt for the AQ.

CWRU has a home win vs Chicago but has lost 2 straight road games, one of which was to Emory.  I give an edge right now to NYU over CWRU based on an edge in road play this season.

Chicago and Emory play each other the next two Fridays, with Chicago hosting this Friday's matchup.

For the record ... it is our calculation. Presto just does the behind the scenes work for us, but it is based on the NCAA SOS numbers.

I am at Brandeis now, in the stands at Auerbach Arena getting ready for the doubleheader vs Case Western Reserve.

 Spotted in the crowd at Brandeis tonight:

1.) Since the Brown women's basketball team is on the road in Ivy League play this weekend, a few Brown students came to cheer on CWRU grad transfer Melissa Heath to a career high 25 pts.

2.(  After halftime, the Adelphi women's basketball team came to cheer on Brandeis transfer Courtney Thrun.  Thrun scored 16 points in the loss. Adelphi plays at Bentley in NE10 play Saturda afternoon.

Other takeaways:

CWRU sophomore Abbey Lawrence had a career high 30 points.  Lawrence and Heath combined for 55 of the 80 points scored by CWRU this evening.

Brandeis was held to 2-3 from the charity stripe for the evening.
