You're not talking to yourself; I'm sure I'm not alone in always reading new posts in here.  (You wanna see someone talk to himself, come see me in the NCAC room!) 

I wish I could contribute more.  I wish I were in a position to see the CWRU team play and keep up with them.  I wish CWRU were having a better season.  But alas! as the poet says, if wishes were horses, beggars would eat.

If anyone wants to chime in here, I wouldn't mind, so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself.

Great effort.  It is a shame that we do not have more people posting here, but I am sure there are at least a few UAA fans, other than the few that post, that check in from time to time.

I love UAA women's basketball but unfortunately I have not had a chance to follow the game as closely as I would like.  I have nothing to offer except one observation: why has the MIAC played so few games?

It's all good. Its funny WUH, bc you are one of the most frequent posters around these parts without even following as close as you would like. Thanks for chiming in anyway!

To answer your question, Massey is off on W/L for the MIAC when you look at the conference rankings, but MIAC team-by-team looks fine.  They have played about 59 games so far this season based on a quick glance of their composite schedule. Thats a really weird mix-up by data, although we see with Boise State and the BCS, even the computers aren't perfect

Lol... nice one.

Yeah, David, I hear you about the NCAC. I definitely am one of those silent followers over there as well. With the UAA being multi-regional, I really hone in on the contenders and their opponents - for example, WashU and Chicago /CCIW/SLIAC etc. But rarely have time to pick up CWRU and CMU v NCAC/OAC etc as well. Its basketball overload at that point.

Thanks. I'll keep posting.

I was all set to post that Olivet should be FAVORED over UChi when I suddenly realized I was on the women's board, not the men's!  Never mind!

[Wydown Blvd.]

Yep with the big WashU/IWU faceoff today, Im sure WashU @ Webster made you realize where you were, lol

The post-exam shooting blues hit WashU hard as they win an ugly one 55-43 over Webster while shooting 28% from field. Definitely not making any more score predictions for the Bears. I can't figure them out.

UChicago does well over Olivet... winning 80-55.

This is the first time I've seen Wash U this year aand they definitely were"t as sharp as I've seen them play the past few years, missing more open shots than I'd expect, including shots near the basket, and not having quite as much success running their offense as I'm used to. But I'll also give Webster a thumbs up for defense.

As for Webster, they might have been able to make even more of a game of it if they hadn't tried to go inside so much in the 2nd half. The didn't see opportunities to get passes to open players for outside shots which, if they had been taken and made could have tightened the score.

As for being ugly, perhaps so for Wash U, but actually one of the better efforts from Webster this season, especially giiven who they were playing.

Not making excuses but most are probably smack-dab in the middle of finals.

No offense, but excuses... finals happen every year to every player.

No seriously, I was not excusing the poor shooting performance, just pointing out that finals end next week, only two days before Christmas.  The academic calendar was shifted back this year.  With the Ohio Wesleyan tournament a little over a week away, I would be interested to know how many days the girls get off.  I do know that have been cleared to spend the entire break in the residence halls, but hopefully everyone gets to go home for a few days.

The box score indicates that they shot 24 percent in the second half.  I do not remember them shooting less than 30 in the second half ever, though my memory fades quickly.

28 percent in the second half against Illinois Wesleyan this year.  Nevermind.

[David Collinge]

CWRU finally breaks through against an NCAC opponent, albeit a hapless one, as they dismantle Wooster 81-49 at Wooster.  The Spartans shot 43% overall and 40% from distance, holding Wooster to 27% in both regards, while forcing 23 Scot turnovers.  Erin Hollinger and Erica Iafelice each had 17 points for the victors.

Usually  they go home after their last exam or the last game before Christmas (whatever is the last "test"   ). The return is probably day after Christmas this year... Return the 26th for a couple days of practice and travel the 28th? Travel schedule used to be posted in the media guide, but no printed copies this year.

From what I can recall, and my memory fades fast as well, WashU has played during finals, after finals, and right before finals quite a few times over the past years...

UConn women on my basketball slate tonight. If they were going to break WashUs streak, then I'm glad they are breaking UCLA's as well.

Anybody else read or watch Geno's comments after their 88th win over OSU. I agree with what he said, but of course he's Geno, so it comes off completely politically incorrect and harsh.
