They're headed back to Dallas. 76-65 final. We'll have an unbeaten champion.
While it was a neutral site on paper, the crowd was overwhelmingly Smith who were less than an hour away. Transy erases another question mark people had entering the tournament.

They made me a believer last weekend. I thought NYU was going to run them over, but the thumping went the other way.

Big championship weekend.  Hope Transylvania brings it home and a great coach and team are rewarded.  a  very personal shout out to one of my players in her youth who will be playing for the D-2 title for Minnesota-Duluth.  Tatum Rhoades is a exceptional player who has also won state championships but a incredible person and one of the easiest players i ever got to coach.


On the Rose-Hulman front.  Crickets.

Rough start, just 1 of 7 from three. Were down by as much as 9, they've clawed it back to a 15-12 deficit after the 1st. Need to take their time a little more

Start of the 2nd was solid, started rushing a bit toward the latter part of the quarter. Low scoring quarter and it's 23-21 at halftime. The defense has really been a force, they have 12 steals so far.

A 13-0 run pushed the lead to double digits but some turnovers and CNU got back within 4. It's 39-32 with just 10 minutes to a title. Just need to take their time and control the tempo. Kennedi Stacy has 10 rebounds, 7 steals, 6 points. But she's 2 of 13 shooting.

Refs haven't been egregious, but I'd say CNU has gotten a couple calls more than Transy. It's 47-43 with 4:13 left. Been more physical in the 2nd half

35.3 left... 51-49 Transylvania leads and CNU ball. However this finishes, it's been a heck of a game.
15.5 and Pioneers have the ball. 13.4 Kellione to the line and hits both FT. 53-49

CNU tried to force a 3 up, Stacy stole it as it went up, hits both FT.
CNU banks a wild 3 with 2 seconds left to cut it to 55-52. Foul with 0.4 left and Ball hits both. 57-52 final

Fantastic win for Transy! Great atmosphere too. Wish they were able to do this more! Here's my game story from Dallas: https://d3hoops.com/playoffs/women/2023/transylvania-takes-title

Congrats to Transy and the HCAC for winning the conference's first ever national championship!  I was rather hoping another TU would pull this off but if someone else had to win it I'm happy for the Pios and their fans.
