Granted there is nothing to indicate Maryville will lose....but they can't win forever. UCLA finally lost a game when they were on their roll. Upsets happen. It will probably take Maryville being off their game, and the other team lighting it up from deep. I haven't seen Greenville. So not sure if they have any shooters. Blackburn didn't impress me with their shooting. If Fontbonne's shooters are hot and they can somehow control the to's.

Am I just hoping?

Blackburn has at least 3 girls that can shoot it from behind the arch. 2 who do it consistantly. dont get me wrong i know its going to take a great effort from the lady beavers.. but i will go back to my original statement about the patriots. looks what the giants did. I know thats football, but all in all its the same situation.

Wow, we going with the Patriots? Shipley better have 25 and Polston better get 30 and I still think they get beat. Good luck on that one. I hope I eat my words.

Just an example (the pats) but yes were going to them for the simple fact that NO ONE thought the Giants stood a chance. Thats all. I know they are both professional teams yada yada yada.. but like i said before same concept. Thats all. The giants who were EXTREMELY overmatched i do believe took home that trophy at the end. Im not trying to create a football blog here.. just giving examples.

HCACBBALL · February 29, 2008, 04:48:03 PM

But those examples are not similar. The Patriots had some close calls towards the end and were showing they could be beat. I am not sure this is the case with Maryville. There does need to be change but it is not happening this weekend.

Good luck to all the teams involved.

It will be Fontbonne vs Maryville in the final tomorrow.

Let's go FONTBONNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HCACBBALL · March 01, 2008, 10:31:05 AM

Good luck to Fontbonne but I still do not see Maryville getting beat. Blackburn stuck around early but Maryville was too much to handle.

thenatural13 · March 01, 2008, 12:02:38 PM

Yes not quite the giants. but they did stick around. not that it made the game it was, but the officials were horrible.

AAAANNNNDDDDD. Coach Williams SLIAC coach of the year!

jdoug2 · March 01, 2008, 06:12:59 PM

Big game tonight. Wish I was there to watch in person. I'm just hoping for a good game. A Fontbonne win would be a huge bonus.

For possibly the last time this season...... GO FONTBONNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HCACBBALL · March 01, 2008, 08:00:33 PM

I am not trying to be mean but the officating was horrible? Not sure the officals had much to do with a 88-49 decision but I was not there maybe they did.

HCACBBALL · March 01, 2008, 08:02:08 PM

I did not read down. Congrats to Coach Williams. That is a great honor. He did do a great job. When do the rest of the All-Conference come out?

jdoug2 · March 01, 2008, 09:49:13 PM

Maryville wins 83-72. Congrats to them. I hope they do well in the tourney.

Judging from the live stats Fontbonne played a tough second half. At one point had the lead down to 6 late in the 2nd. Font rebounded and shot ft's well. Maryville shot great. Wilhelm had a great game for Maryville. Heather was great for Fontbonne. My niece had tough shooting night, but had 14pts and 6 rebs.

Overall pretty good year for Fontbonne.

NO RESPECT - the projected women's brackets on the front page have Fontbonne in rather than Maryville - an obvious mistake, I informed D3 hoops a couple hours ago - I'm sure they'll make the correction soon -

hopefan · March 02, 2008, 11:41:22 AM

The correction has been made!!! The Maryville ladies are indeed going to the tourney!!!!
