Well, This weekends games should give a little clearer picture of the UAA.
With Chicago and Wash U visiting NYU and Brandeis, I think real strength in the Association will start lining up 1-8. If Rochester doesn't get caught sleeping at either Case or Emory-something that I don't think is out of question-I expect to see Rochester at the top of the standings come Sunday evening. I also think Wash U is likely to win two game, but it also is not impossible for NYU and Chicago to win two games. The odd man out I think is Brandeis. They have been inconsistant at best and normally do not beat Wash U-so to me that is a give me, I think it is also quite possibe that Chicago can reveerse last years losses to Brandeis and hopefully NYU. Should be a great weekend of games.
As an aside I hope Brandeis men beat Wash U.

Can WASHINGTON U make another strong run toward the end of the year?

David Collinge · January 25, 2008, 07:36:59 PM

Leading Rochester 49-33 with 10:20 left, Emory could only manage one field goal the rest of the way, and Rochester closes on a 24-5 run to grab the 57-54 victory.

WashU was down 17 in the closing minutes of the first half at NYU, comes all the way back to win 66-60 in a renewal of one of D3 women's greatest rivalries.

We all expected a great weekend out East...and were not disappointed. I bet Allen is happy.

Bradeis goes 2-0 with wins over Chicago and WashU
Chicago goes 1-1 with a loss to Brandeis and a win over NYU
WashU goes 1-1 with a win over NYU and a loss to Brandeis
NYU goes 0-2 with losses to WashU and Chicago

Next weekend is the last of the first round...as always, it's a tight race in the UAA.

Sounds like WashU struggled on offense, but what's up with a 10 foul differential? Anyone in Waltham today for the game?

I must admit, I had a steak dinner back home on Sunday after the game to quietly celebrate the Brandeis women's victory over Wash U-- I think that it will be quite a while before Brandeis blows out Wash U again, if coach Fahey has her say on the matter...

Friday's Wash U at Rochester game should be very interesting to see how the Bears respond. Rochester is in for a very tough few weeks ahead with the Chicago/Wash U pairing back to back followed by a trip east to NYU and Brandeis.

I just hope that Brandeis can go 4-0 against Case and Emory over the next few weeks. If there is a stumbling block to this feat, it will occur this week, as Brandeis is on the road to start the first of the back to back weeks against these two schools.

deiscanton · February 01, 2008, 08:05:53 PM

On the women's side-- all Friday games are now final.

We had 2 blowout victories tonight, with Chicago winning big at Carnegie Mellon, and Emory beating NYU by 20. The other games went into overtime, with Brandeis beating Case, 67-65, in OT, and Rochester defeating Wash U, 58-55, also in OT. The overtime game between Rochester and Wash U is the first overtime game ever held between these two clubs in women's hoop.

With the victory, Rochester now solidifies their lead in UAA women's basketball play -- I believe that Rochester now has a 2 game lead in league play over Brandeis, Wash U, and Chicago with the win tonight.

It's never easy dealing with this "Jekyll and Hyde" Brandeis team-- the next stop is Emory, and this will be a tough game on Sunday. On the other hand, it seems that Case has found a very good coach in Jennifer Reimer, which is an improvement from the previous coach.

newtonnancy · February 02, 2008, 10:15:17 AM

Its only an opinion but for the first time in recent memory I truely believe that the UAA is NOT one of the better conferences in the country this year.

I think it is a down year, but kudos to Case and Emory because I think they are improved, put that with the fact that I believe Brandeis, Chicago, NYU and Wash U are all below the THIER own quality of the past several years. Rochester also is the only improved team of the top 5 from last year, which bodes well for them for the rest of the season.......Lets root for Emory and Case to start winning out and for CMU to win a couple.......Rebuilding year......
