Well, my daughter and Bowdoin will just have to get along without me this weekend as I plan to stay in the city and root for NYU at Coles to win their ECAC. By the way, I don't think Bowdoin will have an easy time of it against Alvernia but the long drive to Maine seems overly long and I expect that I'll be on the road again heading to Scranton next weekend.

Brandeis will be playing Norwich on Friday at 6 PM Eastern in the first semifinal of the ECAC New England Tournament. The second semifinal has Mt. Holyoke taking on Fitchburg State. Both games are at Brandeis. The winners will play on Saturday for the ECAC New England title, and that game will also be at Brandeis.
Norwich has the requisite height, ball-handling and scoring ability, and rebounding ability to be able to compete with, and potentially upset Brandeis. Norwich's first semester schedule, as well as their GNAC schedule, is the main reason why Norwich did not get regionally ranked in New England this season. The only regionally ranked opponent that Norwich played this season before now is Emmanuel, and Norwich went 0-2 against the Saints. However, in the first game at Andrews Hall, Emmanuel only beat Norwich by 5, and in the GNAC championship game, Emmanuel beat Norwich by 13. Norwich also lost at WNEC in GNAC regular season play, and the Cadets lost to Coast Guard on a neutral floor in the first game of the season.

Allen,
Couldn't make it over last night but will get there Saturday, (6pm Friday will be tight)seems that the Judges played a bit better, still more turn overs then assists, still out rebounded? and still not shooting well though.

Comparing Brandeis and Norwich via. the NCAA National Rankings-- Games played through Sat., Feb. 27--
Brandeis--
1.) #31 nationally in scoring defense-- 52.8 ppg
2.) #35 nationally in scoring margin-- Brandeis outscores its opponents by an average of 14.7 ppg (Note: That average was based more on non-conference games than on UAA games.)
3.) #13 nationally in free throw pct.-- 74% FT
Norwich
1.) #39 nationally in scoring offense-- 70.8 ppg
2.) #2 nationally in scoring defense-- 45.6 ppg
3.) #2 nationally in scoring margin-- the Cadets outscore their opponents by an average of 25.3 ppg.
4.) #1 nationally in field goal pct. defense-- opponents avg. 30.2% shooting vs. Norwich
5.) #3 nationally in rebound margin-- the Cadets outrebound their opponents by an average of 11.2 rebounds per game.
6.) #35 nationally in 3 pt. field goal pct.-- the Cadets shoot 34.3% from 3 pt. range.
These stats seem to indicate that Norwich will be a very tough opponent for Brandeis to defeat. However, Brandeis's experience vs. UAA opponents should be enough of an edge to allow the Judges to advance to Saturday's championship game.
If Brandeis wins on Friday, then the Judges should be able to win on Saturday and win the ECAC title.
I will be at Auerbach tomorrow.

Could you imagine in Div 1 if the 13th ranked team lost once and was out of the tournament? Sad.
Well, as Red Sox fans once said, wait til next year!

Nancy--
I was tired out from last weekend, and even though I tried to cheer my hardest in spirit, my body just would not allow me to go up very high-- I was coughing every time I tried to go high up on my cheering in the ECAC tournament.
I just rested last night rather than posted, as I had to rest up quick for a 2 PM Saturday game.
The caliber of opposition for this ECAC tournament was nothing like Brandeis's conference schedule-- Brandeis was able to roll past its opponents last night and today-- the opponents did have their moments, but in the end, Brandeis rolled. Even Fitchburg State was nothing like last year's Allison Coleman-led Eastern Connecticut squad that Brandeis defeated in 2004 to capture last year's ECAC title.
In particular, in today's final, Catherine Brady hit 5 of 7 from 3 pt. range for the Judges-- Brandeis hit 12 of 21 from 3 pt. range in today's final-- but it seemed like the Judges made 20 3 pointers today. Brandeis hit 25 of 31 from the free throw line, and outrebounded Fitchburg State, 50 to 26.
Amanda DeMartino picked up her 300th college career assist in the second half.
Brandeis pulled away from a 42-34 halftime lead to win the ECAC New England title by a score of 91-65 over Fitchburg State.
In other news, NYU has just won the ECAC Metro title-- the Violets have just defeated FDU-Florham by a score of 98-71 to win that championship.
Rochester did not succeed in its attempt to win the ECAC Upstate title-- they lost in the semifinals today to Union, 64-57. Union had defeated Rochester in overtime earlier this season.
Tonight, Wash U will attempt to go to the Sweet 16 as they play at Millikin in the second round-- tip off is at 7:30 PM Central/8:30 PM Eastern-- The game will be webcast at http://kwur.wustl.edu-- The webcast is an official webcast of http://www.ncaasports.com

The game was tied at 53 with about 5 minutes to go and Millikin went on a 14-5 run to end the game.
For anyone who is wondering, Kelly Manning will be back for the Bears next year, giving them a nice 1-2 combination with Danielle Beehler. Brandeis is still the favorite though, in my eyes.

I stayed in town for NYU's ECAC rather than make the long trip up to Bowdoin for what I hoped would be an "uneventful" victory. I'm not sure if the UAA was very strong this year, but NYU did show some flashes of the team I thought they might be. Improvement was shown over the past four games and I expect them to improve next year on the defensive end. I didn't think that much of Wesleyan, but the NESCAC has 3 teams in the Sweet 16. That silly selection system may have gotten it right.

Why weren't the Whologins present when NYU played Baruch back in December? I can't believe how crazy you are! All Salem State (MA) Viking fans do is paint their faces green, wear Viking helmets, and wave their big college flags all over the place, and that is tame!
PS-- Note the second round NCAA attendance figures. Only Scranton's second round game came close to matching the Brandeis at NYU attendance figure from the previous weekend.

YellsTooMuch asked why I didn't think much of Wesleyan. I was at the game when Bowdoin beat them by 16 (58-42). Wesleyan didn't seem to put up much of a fight and the game was on their home court. They aren't big and they aren't fast, but then again they're in the NESCAC so I'm guess I underestimated them.

I feel sort of foolish responding to Bearswatcher's stupid remark, but just for the record, I'm a big fan of UAA ball and have watched them far more than I've seen the NESCAC. But obviously if the NESCAC has 3 teams in the final 16 and the UAA has nought, the NESCAC might have played better ball this year.

Nice to see Aaron Roussell get the job at Chicago. I thought his age - he is 25 or 26 - might be held against him. He and Molly Parrott deserved consideration for UAA Coaching Staff of the Year. Roussell came to Hyde Park in September as an assistant. Three weeks later, the head coach (Jen Kroll) left for St. Lawrence. Roussell was thrust into the head coaching role. He scrambled and found Molly Parrott to be an assistant.
The Maroons got off to a slow start. But they kept improving and became a force to be reckoned with in the UAA. To the surprise of many, the UAA turned into a four team race.
Brandeis and Chicago will be the favorites in the 2005-6 season. It is dangerous to count out Wash U since the Bears do not rebuild - they reload. But the Judges and Maroons have everyone back. For Brandeis, that includes Caitlin Malcolm (UAA 1st team), Jaime Capra and Christine Clancy (both UAA 2nd team), and Andrea DeMartino (UAA hon.men.). Chicago's returnees include Susie Gutowski and Korry Schwanz (UAA 1st team) and Janae Winner and Nofi Mojidi (UAA hon.men.).
I think we are in for a very exciting season.

Yes-- Today is the first day that official practice can start, and now I can return from my break off the forum.
Keep in mind that during the break, I don't personally watch any informal activity involving members of the Brandeis women's basketball team. I may occasionally chat with members of the team and/or their parents, but I keep things to myself from the end of March until October 15. I will, however, go to as many exhibition and scrimmage games as I can from now until November 18-19, when the season starts. I will have to confirm with the Brandeis coaching staff the schedule for the exhibition with the alumni squad. I believe that the preseason will involve an away scrimmage with Clark and a home scrimmage with Southern Maine, and I would like Brandeis to play Merrimack again in an exhibition-- it seemed to work well last year.
The new roster just got put up on the Brandeis women's basketball page-- 5 new players and 8 returnees--4 of the starting 5 returning (Malcolm, Clancy, DeMartino, and Capra)-- which gives new players an opportunity to break into the starting 5. From what I heard in the off-season from Bob DeMartino. Brandeis's recruiting class looks very promising once again, and the team has made it their goal to get to Springfield, MA in order to compete for the national championship. I am glad that Springfield College is hosting the national semis and championship game, and will be at Blake Arena come "Final Four" time.
During the preseason, I would like to check all of the new players to find out how good they are. I have heard very good things about Cassidy Dadaos from Healdsburg, CA, and I want to check out her game as well as the play of Lauren Goyette and Lauren Orlando. I also want to see if the other two new players can perform above expectations.
As for the schedule-- the Brandeis tip-off tournament has a better field than in previous tip-off tournaments with Bates of the NESCAC coming in to Auerbach Arena as the probable potential tip-off championship opponent. Salve Regina and Mount Holyoke round out the tip-off field, with Brandeis opening up against Salve Regina. Salve is a former Comm. Coast Conf. champion and made it to the semis of their conference tournament last year, so this will be a competitive ball game. Brandeis also goes on the road to Endicott at the start of the second semester-- Endicott should also be a more competitive opponent than Curry was over the past two seasons. I am satisfied with the current schedule.
Any opponent in the UAA is one that you have to prepare for-- but among the top conference opponents that Brandeis faces in the grueling conference season-- I would say Chicago, Wash U, and NYU would be the top three UAA opponents (not necessarily in that order), and Rochester would be next, with Case, Emory, and CMU looking to impress once again.

Since my post from yesterday, I have had a chance to look at the women's basketball rosters that UAA teams have posted for the new season. Chicago has not yet posted their roster for the 2005-06 season, but I would assume that they will have a mostly familiar roster from last season.
Based strictly on the rosters that have been posted, look for Case to improve in the UAA standings this season-- they look favored to finish no worse than 5th in the conference. Case only has 2 new players on their roster, and they return 4 players from last year's starting 5, so the familiarity among the team members will help a lot. It will be of no surprise if Case finishes ahead of Rochester in the standings this season-- the Spartans should finish ahead of Emory and Carnegie Mellon, as these teams (as well as Rochester) have a lot of new players on their rosters.
Based strictly on the rosters that have been posted, the top 4 preseason teams in the UAA will remain (in no particular order of finish)-- Brandeis, Chicago, Wash U, and NYU.
Due to the fact that Brandeis is hosting the UAA volleyball championships the weekend of Nov. 4 and 5, it does not look like a preseason matchup where Brandeis squares off against an alumni team will take place this season-- so it will look like I will have to see the Brandeis team in scrimmage the Sunday before the tip-off tourney (when the Judges traditionally scrimmage against S. Maine.-- that scrimmage should be in Auerbach Arena this season, as S. Maine hosted that scrimmage last season.)

Practices have started and the Sandman is back in action... too bad the Case schedule doesn't have any games near Columbus this year.
The Lady Spartans return almost the same team as last year, with some major exceptions. Perennial UAA leader in steals and assists, Keesha Allen, is gone, but she was the only senior on last year's team. Junior* power forward Andrea Haylett, who missed all of last season after tearing her ACL in practice in February 2004, is back, as is sophomore point guard LaVonne Sherald, who started as a freshman but was hurt in the fourth game last year. Last year's young team (and coach) will return with a full year of experience under their collective belt. Also, I'd rather have two freshmen who will play significant minutes, than 14 who will only see action at the end of blowouts.
I've also tried to predict the standings based on the rosters, and one disadvantage of being out of the loop is that I can't remember who all the strongest players are. That being said, this is how I think the standings will end up:
Chicago will take the UAA title on the last day of the season by beating Wash U. The Bears and Brandeis will be tied for second, and both teams will make the NCAA tournament. Case, NYU, and Rochester will all battle for that last spot in the first division, and with the expanded tournament field, the UAA might actually take four teams to the bracket. Emory and Carnegie Mellon appear to be built for 2008-09, if all their freshmen stay with the program.
And as for Case's schedule, they begin the season in Erie, PA to play Mt. Union and either Penn State-Behrend or Westminster in a tip-off tournament. Then they play traditional rivals Baldwin-Wallace and Ohio Wesleyan at home. Their out-of-conference schedule also includes a D2 team (Wheeling Jesuit), a rematch with Kenyon (22-5 last year), three PAC teams, and some cupcakes in late December. The UAA schedule is set up exactly the same as in the dream season of 2001-02, which means that Case's last three games are all at home.
*Haylett is in her third year of NCAA eligibility and sixth semester academically (she went on a co-op last spring), so there is a chance that she'll play next year as well.

Kelly Manning Named DIII News Preseason Player of the Year
St. Louis, Mo., October 17, 2005 – Washington University in St. Louis women's basketball senior guard Kelly Manning garnered Women's DIII News Preseason Player of the Year honors, as announced today by the publication.
Manning, a 2004-05 Kodak/WBCA first-team all-America honoree, led the Bears in scoring average (15.4), blocked shots (43), free-throw percentage (.871), three-pointers made (58), field goals made (141) and minutes per game (27.8) last season. She also finished first in the University Athletic Association (UAA) in free-throw percentage and blocks per game (1.65) and second in scoring average.
"We're excited about this preseason honor for Kelly," said WU head coach Nancy Fahey. "We hope that this translates into success on the court for her and the team."
A three-time, first-team all-UAA selection, Manning is the Bears' career leader in free throw percentage (.829). Additionally, she ranks fourth in blocked shots (99), fifth in three-pointers made (122), sixth in three-point field goal percentage (.361) and ninth in scoring (1,020). She scored her 1,000th career point last season against Webster University in the Bears' first-round NCAA Tournament game.

Washington University completed the 2004-05 season with a 22-5 overall record and an 11-3 mark in UAA play, which was good for its eighth-consecutive UAA championship. The Bears, who won four straight national championships from 1998-2001, also made their 16th-straight NCAA Tournament appearance and advanced to the second round before falling at Millikin University, the eventual national champion. Manning is one of two returning starters and 13 returning letterwinners back for 2005-06.
"Kelly is the top player in one of the toughest league's in the country, so she is a very deserving recipient of this award," said Women's DIII News editor Gary Rubin. "With her experience she should have another great year ahead of her."
Women's DIII News, published since 1993, is the leading publication covering women's Division III basketball. It comes out 12 times during the basketball season.
Washington U., which is ranked seventh in the DIII News preseason poll, begins the 2005-06 season when it hosts the WU Tip-Off Tournament on Friday-Saturday, Nov. 18-19.

NEWS-- CHANGES TO WAY THE STARTING LINEUP IS TO BE INTRODUCED AT UAA GAMES:
In the new UAA Basketball Code of Conduct which took effect on August 1, 2005, an amendment was made to Sec. 4.10-- Miscellaneous Administration. This amendment provides for a new uniform way of introducing the starting lineup at all UAA basketball conference games.
From now on, at all UAA basketball contests, the starting lineups shall be introduced in the method provided for NCAA tournament games-- i.e. 1 player from the visiting team introduced first, then immediately followed by 1 player from the home team, and so on until all 5 players from both visiting and home teams are introduced. Each player shall shake hands with her counterpart at mid-court as the other player is introduced. At the end of the starting lineup introductions, the head coaches shall shake hands at mid-court.
This NCAA tournament method is the method used in previous years when the starting lineups are introduced at Wash U home games in the regular season, but not at other UAA institutions. In previous years, the majority of institutions introduced first all 5 starting members of the visiting team, then followed by all 5 starting members of the home team.
This amendment can be found at http://www,uaa.rochester.edu/Administration/Codes_of_Conduct.doc

In the best interests of all involved, I will not make any further public comment involving any preseason activities involving the Brandeis men's or women's basketball teams for events from now until Nov. 18. This includes the scrimmages. Given the tough competition of the upcoming season, the teams should be allowed to prepare in relative privacy. In return, I also request that fans of other UAA teams also refrain from making any further public comment regarding their scrimmages, in the best interest of their teams.

I don't put too much trust in pre-season polls. But for what it's worth, Brandeis is #8 and Wash U is #14 in the D3Hoops poll, with NYU and Chicago also receiving votes. The Judges have only been ranked higher than that three times. Baldwin-Wallace, also on Case's (and Rochester's) schedule, is ranked #20. The WBCA poll isn't out yet.
In the coming weeks, I look forward to the UAA preseason coaches' poll, as another source of opinions on what may happen this season.
And as for the new starting lineup rule, Case has done the introductions that way for years.

In its quest for success, the Washington University women's basketball team could use a little R (reading) and R (responding) in 2005-06.
Consider that the Bears will have at least three new starters this year. They also welcome nine newcomers to the fold. Expectedly, there will be a learning curve for those new to the program.
"It's a different mix this year," said WU head coach Nancy Fahey. "Last year, we had a lot of returnees at a lot of positions. This year, we have more variety. We'll look to our veterans to give guidance to a promising younger class. That younger group is still absorbing the system and the style of how we play."
With the learning phase in progress, application—or the ability to read and react—will come to the forefront as the season unfolds.
"There has been a lot of energy," Fahey said of the preseason. "We are trying to get to the point where energy relates to playing hard at all times. We hope to respond to that challenge."
Opportunity is knocking for the new faces, though the Bears still have some firepower back from last season. Two of their top three scorers, including the 2005-06 Women's DIII News Preseason Player of the Year, return from an offensive unit that ranked 29th nationally in scoring offense in 2004-05.
"We want to put constant pressure on the defense with our ability to push the ball at teams," Fahey said. "At the same time, we need to be patient and eliminate the things that beat you. We need to stay true to ourselves in trying to strike a balance. That balance will help us be a strong offensive team."
Additionally, 12 letterwinners are back from a defense that helped forge the fifth-best rebounding and 12th-best scoring margins in the country last season.
"Our defensive cornerstone will center around each member of the team knowing her role," Fahey said. "Again, we need to eliminate the things that beat you—giving up uncontested shots and allowing dribble penetration. We will rely on each other to be in the right spots. Developing trust for one another will determine our success on gameday."
BACKCOURT
Senior Kelly Manning, the DIII News Preseason Player of the Year, returns to lead the backcourt. Manning, a 2005 Kodak/WBCA first-team All-America selection, led the Bears last season in scoring, field goals, three-pointers, free throws, and blocked shots. The reigning UAA Player of the Year, Manning also enters 2005-06 ranked first in free-throw percentage, fourth in blocks, fifth in three-point field goals, sixth in three-point field goal percentage and ninth in scoring on the WU career lists.
"Kelly is a unique weapon for us," Fahey said. "Her ability to shoot the three or penetrate makes her very difficult to defend because she can do both so well. Leadership, extending the defense and getting to the free-throw line are keys for her."
Senior Katie Benson demonstrated her ability to slash and knock down the long jumper last season. She averaged 5.7 points per game off the bench, and recorded a UAA-best .413 three-point field goal percentage. She also shot .778 from the free-throw line.
"Katie is a skilled shooter who gets out of the blocks fast in transition," Fahey said. "One of the best things Katie brings to the team is her enthusiasm—she loves to play and you can see it."
A point guard, junior Sarah Schell has amassed 172 assists in her first two seasons on the Hilltop Campus. The Bears' returning leader in assists, Schell also averaged 3.0 rebounds and 4.2 points per game last year.
"Sarah is a naturally gifted point guard with a terrific feel for the game," Fahey said. "She makes timely decisions that you can't teach—she sees and delivers."
Junior Jenny Southworth, who played women's soccer at Washington U. as a freshman, joined the team last season and made an immediate impact. One of the team's toughest defenders, Southworth appeared in 26 of 27 games.
"Jenny adds a great deal of versatility to our system by playing both the point and off guard positions," Fahey said. "Her work ethic, intensity and competitiveness have a great impact on our team. She is a blue-collared worker who does all the difficult things."
Nicky Huels, also a junior, joined the group for her first season last year after transferring from New York University. Huels made 18 appearances in a reserve role.
"Nicky is a fiery competitor whose motor never stops," Fahey said. "She has put in long hours over the summer to improve her game, and is one of our most aggressive defenders."
Junior Tiffany Slater saw her first varsity action last season, appearing in 11 games.
"Tiffany is a smart and relentless defender," Fahey said. "She has become such a vital presence because of her unselfish nature and desire to do everything possible to make this team better."
Slater, junior Andy Strauss and sophomores Kacy Crawford and Abby Mowry all will add depth on the perimeter.
"Kacy spent the majority of the summer rehabilitating from injury; she'll add another dimension to our attack with her ability to knock down the three," Fahey said.
"Abby's comfort with our style of play is apparent, and we hope she continues to develop her game," Fahey added. "Andi is a hard-nosed defensive player with a great work ethic. She will be asked to play multiple positions."
A trio of freshmen join the WU backcourt. Shanna-Lei Dacanay, a Honolulu, Hawaii native, comes to the program after a strong prep career at Punahou School. Dacanay garnered Gatorade Player of the Year honors in Hawaii her senior season. The 5-2 point guard also earned first-team all-state honors twice and was a semifinalist nominee for the 2005 McDonald's All-America Team.
"Shanna had an outstanding high school career," Fahey said. "She has the handle and offensive explosiveness to deal with pressure. All she needs is experience."
Cor Jesu Academy and local standout Jill Brandt also joins the team after earning first-team all-conference and honorable-mention all-Metro honors for the Chargers. She averaged a personal-best 14.8 points per game as a senior.
"Confidence and repetition are key for Jill's transition into the college game," Fahey said. "She has great touch from outside."
Rovina Broomfield, a graduate of Whitney Young High School and Chicago, Ill., native, rounds out the freshman guard group. Broomfield helped Whitney Young to the city championship and a third-place finish at state as a senior.
"Rovina gives us an added dimension on the floor with her speed and attacking style, which allows us to pick up the tempo at both ends," Fahey said.
FRONTCOURT
Senior Danielle Beehler will provide versatility in the post. A second-team all-UAA honoree last season, Beehler averaged 9.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. She also led the team with 50 steals and shot .798 from the charity stripe.
"We need to have a player give us that game-in, game-out factor, and Danielle is that player," Fahey said. "She has great hands and is a force on the boards. We really need her to be a solid, constant presence on the block."
Junior Rebecca Parker is coming off a strong season in which she averaged 6.5 points and 5.6 rebounds in just 16.9 minutes per game. Parker notched career-highs of 14 points and 14 boards Dec. 8 at Webster University and appeared in all 27 games.
"Rebecca has the size, strength, mobility, touch and post skills to be very productive in the paint," Fahey said. "She appears to be ready to contribute in a significant way this season."
Junior Alana Fields joins the team after spending her first two seasons competing as a thrower on the Bears track and field team.
"Alana joins us after a break from basketball. She sees the floor well at the post position, which results in a good high-low game," Fahey said.
Freshman Zöe Julian served as team captain twice at Riverdale Country School. The Teaneck, N.J., native earned All-Ivy League accolades three times, including second-team honors her junior and senior seasons.
"Zöe has a strong foundation from her sound AAU experience," Fahey said. "She will provide us with strength and explosiveness in the post position."
A three-time team MVP, freshman Jaimie McFarlin helped lead Burke Catholic High School to three division crowns, two sectional championships and one region title. McFarlin, who hails from Monroe, N.Y., averaged 14.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks per game for her career.
"Jaimie has the potential to step up and give us minutes in the post," Fahey said. "The key for her will be to play with the intensity both mentally and physically that the college game demands."
Tiina Luning is a freshman from Boca Raton, Fla., where she attended Pope John Paul II High School. The senior class valedictorian, Luning helped the squad to the state semifinals as a junior and played in the played in the Palm Beach All-Star Senior Game.
"Tiina is a strong presence in the paint, and she uses that strength to her advantage near the basket," Fahey said.
Freshman Cambrie Nelson attended Kent Denver High School in Denver, Colo. Nelson lettered four years and served as team captain three times at Kent Denver, leading the 2004-05 squad to a 25-2 record and the district title.
"Although slowed by injury, we hope for big things from Cambrie," Fahey said. "Her size and quickness are to her advantage."
Sarah Tibesar, the Bears' final newcomer in the post, is the tallest player on the team at 6-3. A junior, Tibesar is a native of Plymouth, Minn., where she lettered two years at Wayzata High School.
"After a two-year lay-off, we are glad to see Sarah back on the court," Fahey said. "Her size adds a needed dimension to our game."
SCHEDULE
Washington U. opens 2005-06 on Friday, Nov. 18 when it hosts the WU Tip-Off Tournament. The Red and Green will welcome Coe College, DePauw University and Illinois Wesleyan University to the Hilltop Campus. The Bears will also travel to Hanover, Ind., for the Eleanore Moyer Tournament, hosted by Hanover College on Dec. 2-3.
WU hosts the fifth annual McWilliams Classic at the WU Field House from Saturday-Sunday, Nov. 26-27. The Bears will be joined by Denison University, Middlebury College and Wisconsin Lutheran College for the Classic.
"We look forward to a very competitive McWilliams Classic," Fahey said. "It is great to have schools with such academic and athletic prowess together in one weekend."
Conference play begins January 7 versus the University of Chicago. The Bears and Maroons tangle again Feb. 25 in the Windy City to mark the end of the UAA schedule. NCAA Tournament play is slated to begin March 1 at sites to be determined.
"We expect another tough test during the conference season," said Fahey of the UAA. "The league gets tougher each year. It was balanced from top to bottom last season and we will expect the same this season."
Consider that the Bears will have at least three new starters this year. They also welcome nine newcomers to the fold. Expectedly, there will be a learning curve for those new to the program.
"It's a different mix this year," said WU head coach Nancy Fahey. "Last year, we had a lot of returnees at a lot of positions. This year, we have more variety. We'll look to our veterans to give guidance to a promising younger class. That younger group is still absorbing the system and the style of how we play."
With the learning phase in progress, application—or the ability to read and react—will come to the forefront as the season unfolds.
"There has been a lot of energy," Fahey said of the preseason. "We are trying to get to the point where energy relates to playing hard at all times. We hope to respond to that challenge."
Opportunity is knocking for the new faces, though the Bears still have some firepower back from last season. Two of their top three scorers, including the 2005-06 Women's DIII News Preseason Player of the Year, return from an offensive unit that ranked 29th nationally in scoring offense in 2004-05.
"We want to put constant pressure on the defense with our ability to push the ball at teams," Fahey said. "At the same time, we need to be patient and eliminate the things that beat you. We need to stay true to ourselves in trying to strike a balance. That balance will help us be a strong offensive team."
Additionally, 12 letterwinners are back from a defense that helped forge the fifth-best rebounding and 12th-best scoring margins in the country last season.
"Our defensive cornerstone will center around each member of the team knowing her role," Fahey said. "Again, we need to eliminate the things that beat you—giving up uncontested shots and allowing dribble penetration. We will rely on each other to be in the right spots. Developing trust for one another will determine our success on gameday."
BACKCOURT
Senior Kelly Manning, the DIII News Preseason Player of the Year, returns to lead the backcourt. Manning, a 2005 Kodak/WBCA first-team All-America selection, led the Bears last season in scoring, field goals, three-pointers, free throws, and blocked shots. The reigning UAA Player of the Year, Manning also enters 2005-06 ranked first in free-throw percentage, fourth in blocks, fifth in three-point field goals, sixth in three-point field goal percentage and ninth in scoring on the WU career lists.
"Kelly is a unique weapon for us," Fahey said. "Her ability to shoot the three or penetrate makes her very difficult to defend because she can do both so well. Leadership, extending the defense and getting to the free-throw line are keys for her."
Senior Katie Benson demonstrated her ability to slash and knock down the long jumper last season. She averaged 5.7 points per game off the bench, and recorded a UAA-best .413 three-point field goal percentage. She also shot .778 from the free-throw line.
"Katie is a skilled shooter who gets out of the blocks fast in transition," Fahey said. "One of the best things Katie brings to the team is her enthusiasm—she loves to play and you can see it."
A point guard, junior Sarah Schell has amassed 172 assists in her first two seasons on the Hilltop Campus. The Bears' returning leader in assists, Schell also averaged 3.0 rebounds and 4.2 points per game last year.
"Sarah is a naturally gifted point guard with a terrific feel for the game," Fahey said. "She makes timely decisions that you can't teach—she sees and delivers."
Junior Jenny Southworth, who played women's soccer at Washington U. as a freshman, joined the team last season and made an immediate impact. One of the team's toughest defenders, Southworth appeared in 26 of 27 games.
"Jenny adds a great deal of versatility to our system by playing both the point and off guard positions," Fahey said. "Her work ethic, intensity and competitiveness have a great impact on our team. She is a blue-collared worker who does all the difficult things."
Nicky Huels, also a junior, joined the group for her first season last year after transferring from New York University. Huels made 18 appearances in a reserve role.
"Nicky is a fiery competitor whose motor never stops," Fahey said. "She has put in long hours over the summer to improve her game, and is one of our most aggressive defenders."
Junior Tiffany Slater saw her first varsity action last season, appearing in 11 games.
"Tiffany is a smart and relentless defender," Fahey said. "She has become such a vital presence because of her unselfish nature and desire to do everything possible to make this team better."
Slater, junior Andy Strauss and sophomores Kacy Crawford and Abby Mowry all will add depth on the perimeter.
"Kacy spent the majority of the summer rehabilitating from injury; she'll add another dimension to our attack with her ability to knock down the three," Fahey said.
"Abby's comfort with our style of play is apparent, and we hope she continues to develop her game," Fahey added. "Andi is a hard-nosed defensive player with a great work ethic. She will be asked to play multiple positions."
A trio of freshmen join the WU backcourt. Shanna-Lei Dacanay, a Honolulu, Hawaii native, comes to the program after a strong prep career at Punahou School. Dacanay garnered Gatorade Player of the Year honors in Hawaii her senior season. The 5-2 point guard also earned first-team all-state honors twice and was a semifinalist nominee for the 2005 McDonald's All-America Team.
"Shanna had an outstanding high school career," Fahey said. "She has the handle and offensive explosiveness to deal with pressure. All she needs is experience."
Cor Jesu Academy and local standout Jill Brandt also joins the team after earning first-team all-conference and honorable-mention all-Metro honors for the Chargers. She averaged a personal-best 14.8 points per game as a senior.
"Confidence and repetition are key for Jill's transition into the college game," Fahey said. "She has great touch from outside."
Rovina Broomfield, a graduate of Whitney Young High School and Chicago, Ill., native, rounds out the freshman guard group. Broomfield helped Whitney Young to the city championship and a third-place finish at state as a senior.
"Rovina gives us an added dimension on the floor with her speed and attacking style, which allows us to pick up the tempo at both ends," Fahey said.
FRONTCOURT
Senior Danielle Beehler will provide versatility in the post. A second-team all-UAA honoree last season, Beehler averaged 9.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. She also led the team with 50 steals and shot .798 from the charity stripe.
"We need to have a player give us that game-in, game-out factor, and Danielle is that player," Fahey said. "She has great hands and is a force on the boards. We really need her to be a solid, constant presence on the block."
Junior Rebecca Parker is coming off a strong season in which she averaged 6.5 points and 5.6 rebounds in just 16.9 minutes per game. Parker notched career-highs of 14 points and 14 boards Dec. 8 at Webster University and appeared in all 27 games.
"Rebecca has the size, strength, mobility, touch and post skills to be very productive in the paint," Fahey said. "She appears to be ready to contribute in a significant way this season."
Junior Alana Fields joins the team after spending her first two seasons competing as a thrower on the Bears track and field team.
"Alana joins us after a break from basketball. She sees the floor well at the post position, which results in a good high-low game," Fahey said.
Freshman Zöe Julian served as team captain twice at Riverdale Country School. The Teaneck, N.J., native earned All-Ivy League accolades three times, including second-team honors her junior and senior seasons.
"Zöe has a strong foundation from her sound AAU experience," Fahey said. "She will provide us with strength and explosiveness in the post position."
A three-time team MVP, freshman Jaimie McFarlin helped lead Burke Catholic High School to three division crowns, two sectional championships and one region title. McFarlin, who hails from Monroe, N.Y., averaged 14.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks per game for her career.
"Jaimie has the potential to step up and give us minutes in the post," Fahey said. "The key for her will be to play with the intensity both mentally and physically that the college game demands."
Tiina Luning is a freshman from Boca Raton, Fla., where she attended Pope John Paul II High School. The senior class valedictorian, Luning helped the squad to the state semifinals as a junior and played in the played in the Palm Beach All-Star Senior Game.
"Tiina is a strong presence in the paint, and she uses that strength to her advantage near the basket," Fahey said.
Freshman Cambrie Nelson attended Kent Denver High School in Denver, Colo. Nelson lettered four years and served as team captain three times at Kent Denver, leading the 2004-05 squad to a 25-2 record and the district title.
"Although slowed by injury, we hope for big things from Cambrie," Fahey said. "Her size and quickness are to her advantage."
Sarah Tibesar, the Bears' final newcomer in the post, is the tallest player on the team at 6-3. A junior, Tibesar is a native of Plymouth, Minn., where she lettered two years at Wayzata High School.
"After a two-year lay-off, we are glad to see Sarah back on the court," Fahey said. "Her size adds a needed dimension to our game."

Re: the UAA pre-season coaches' poll: How predictable. Once again, they go with last year's standings as the guide. I think Case can do better than 6th place this year (and Chicago higher than 4th by the way), but once again, the league is wide open.
The WBCA poll is also out now. UAA teams in the rankings are Wash U at #6, Brandeis at #12, and NYU at #20. Also on Case's schedule are Baldwin-Wallace at #17 and Kenyon receiving votes.
Only 9 days remain until the season starts! Case (11-13, 6-8 UAA last year) opens the season in Erie, PA against Mt. Union (5-20, 2-16 OAC last year but with a new head coach) a week from Friday in the Penn State- Behrend Tip-off Tournament.

To Newtonnancy--
I tried to send you an e-mail, but your last e-mail address is no longer functioning. Can you tell me how I can contact you? Otherwise, I can't tell you anything other than the Brandeis women's basketball team did fine last Saturday in the scrimmage against DII Assumption and is getting ready for the upcoming season. I am looking forward to this Sunday's scrimmage against Southern Maine, and to the tip-off tournament the following weekend. That, and I am also going through Orbitz, Expedia, Kayak.com and others to see about affordable flights for UAA road trips for me. :)
About the UAA preseason coaches poll: I agree with Sandman. How predictable-- no thought went into this. I guess that is what the coaches said about Wash U volleyball at the beginning of the fall, too. Guess what happened last weekend to Wash U volleyball-- I wasn't too upset to see history in the making at Brandeis last weekend. :)

Well, Brandeis is ready for the tip-off tournament!
Brandeis comes in ranked at #8 by D3Hoops.com, and #12 in the WBCA/ESPN/USA Today poll.
I think that the Judges are once again the favorite to win this tournament. However, this tip-off field is probably the strongest that Brandeis has faced in years.
The tournament will be webcasted on WBRS 100.1 FM in Waltham, MA-- http://www.wbrs.org.
Here is a short capsule of the tip-off field:
1st round opponent for Brandeis is the Salve Regina Seahawks. (Friday, Nov. 18-- tip at 6 PM Eastern.)
Salve Regina went 16-9 last season and finished in first place in the Comm. Coast Conference's South Division. However, a 23 point loss to Colby-Sawyer in the conference semifinals ended the Seahawks's bid for a fourth consecutive Comm. Coast Conf. Championship.
Salve Regina went 0-3 on the road against non-conference foes last season, but did not lose by more than 20 points in any of these games.
The test for Brandeis, if any, should start coming from these 3 returning starters: 6-1 F So. Alison Moen, 5-11 F Sr. Lindsay Frederick, and 5-8 G Jr. Margaret O' Brien. Salve also has 5 other returning players who will also have their hands full with the Judges. Salve Regina has 4 newcomers-- one of whom is a transfer from D2 Southern New Hampshire Univ. The transfer is 6-2 F Jr. Bronya Shillo. The other 3 are first year students.
The other first round match pits Bates who is ranked at #17 in the preseason D3Hoops.com poll against the Mt. Holyoke Lyons. Bates finished 25-3 last season and lost in the NCAA Sweet 16 to S. Maine; Mt. Holyoke finished 21-6 last season and lost in the ECAC New England Tournament semifinals to Fitchburg State. Tip is scheduled for Friday at approx. 8 PM Eastern.
This game will also be competitive, but look for Bates to be the favorite to prevail in this match. The key for Bates will be if 6-1 C Jr. Meg Coffin, who averaged 12.3 ppg last year, will be able to play this weekend. If so, Bates will have an easier time in this first round match. Other players of note for Bates are the Bobcats's point guard Sarah Barton (a 5-9 sophomore), and Matia Kostakis (a 6-0 sophomore forward), a transfer from Amherst College who was Amherst's leading scorer last season. Bates will also have a strong supporting cast.
Mt. Holyoke is led by 5-4 G Sr. Christine Godin, 5-7 G Jr. Joeanna Silvey, and 6-2 C Sr. Jonee Billy. A strong supporting cast also helps the Lyons.
The consolation game is set for Saturday at 1 PM Eastern, with the title game following at approx. 3 PM Eastern.

After an offseason of waiting, the 2005-2006 season starts tonight.
If you can't get to the Brandeis games, you can catch all of the action live at www.wbrs.org the whole weekend and the rest of the year. We will also be broadcasting away games so check out our website for information on that. Send any feedback to sports@wbrs.org
I think the women's team is reloaded and ready to go for Brandeis...and with another year under Capra's belt and a healthy knee for Malcolm, this team is dangerous.
Also, check out the Brandeis' sports magazine, the Louis Lunatic for another preview of the men's and women's teams: http://louislunatic.blogspot.com/ (it's located in the top entry on the site)
Looking forward to an exciting season and go Judges!

Welcome to the 2005-06 season!
Case 67, Mt. Union 50
http://www.case.edu/athletics/varsity/winter/wbasketball/stats/2005-06/06WBG_01.HTM
The Lady Spartans won their ninth consecutive opening game, as they spoiled Suzy Venet's first game as head coach of her alma mater. Case never trailed in the game and outshot Mt. Union 45% to 31%. Case built up a 12-point lead by halftime; Mt. Union cut it to five with 10 minutes to go, but Case then slowly pulled away to win by 17.
Senior guard Amber Hammell led the way for Case with 21 points, and sophomore center Ashley Horton scored 11. The rest of the scoring (and the rebounds) were fairly evenly distributed among the 10-player rotation. For the second year in a row, a freshman led the team in rebounding in her first game (this year it was Colleen Martin; last year it was Ashley Horton).
The only disheartening statistic for Case was the 20 turnovers, but Mt. Union did lead the OAC in turnover margin last year, despite finishing last in the standings. Figure that one out. ???
The Lady Spartans now play the tournament's host team, Penn State-Behrend, at 3:00 tomorrow in the championship game. Behrend defeated Westminster, 68-57, and Case has won the last two meetings.

The Lady Spartans win the PSU Behrend Tip-Off Tournament. This is the first time that they've won a tournament (and started the season 2-0) since 2001-02. And we all know how that season ended up. :)

And here are said details:
http://www.pserie.psu.edu/athletics/wbball/TAS/behw1120.htm
After holding a single-digit lead for most of the first half, Case pulled away in the second half, leading by as many as 20. Case had another good shooting day (48% from the field, 8/13 from downtown) and would have won by more if they hadn't committed 22 turnovers. It's still early in the season and there's time to work on that.
But the stat of the game was rebounds: Case pulled down 44 as compared to only 20 for PSU Behrend. Leading scorers for Case were Dana Dempsey and Amber Hammell with 18 and 17, respectively. Ashley Horton had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Carmen Rowan had a game-high 12 boards.
Amber Hammell and Dana Dempsey were named to the All-Tournament Team, with Dempsey winning the MVP.
Next up: Ohio Wesleyan at home on Tuesday night.

Congrats to Brandeis on their win over Bates. Can I pencil them in for undefeated when the UAA season starts? ;)
Other scores of interest:
Mt. Union defeated Westminster, 60-40, in the consolation game at Behrend. Suzy Venet gets her first win with the Purple Raiders, and one of her assistants, Erica Tallo, helped coach a victory against her former teammates. Perhaps Westminster isn't nearly as strong as they were last year when they won the PAC and reached the NCAA tourney; Case plays them on 3 December at Grove City.
Baldwin-Wallace beat Rochester, 53-39, on the road, a day after blowing away Bethany, 90-38. All three teams are on Case's schedule, with B-W coming to Cleveland a week from Tuesday.
Ohio Wesleyan lost their opener to Whitman of the Northwest Conference, 73-51. Had OWU won, they would be playing Chicago tomorrow.

Brandeis women had two big wins this weekend, the latter against a ranked opponent, but the scary thing for their competition as I'm sure Superfan can attest to, is that Brandeis women didn't even play their best basketball.
Bates may not be as good as last year's team, but if Brandeis can beat them without their best play, the UAA should start watching out.

This extended their non-conference winning streak (they haven't lost a non-conference game since December 2003) in a defensive battle. Brandeis used a full-court press to their advantage and tapped into Caitlin Malcom (22 pts and 11 rebounds) for their offense.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
PS. Does anyone know when the new rankings come out? I thought they come out every Tuesday...

Case improves to 3-0 with a 64-48 win over Ohio Wesleyan in their home opener:
http://www.case.edu/athletics/varsity/winter/wbasketball/stats/2005-06/06WBG_03.HTM
Case scored the first nine points of the game and had a 14-0 run late in the first half to lead, 33-16, at the break. By then the game was no longer in doubt, so after the Lady Spartans built a 20-point lead, three players saw their first action of the season.
Dana Dempsey led the way with 18 points on 7/13 shooting, and Ashley Horton had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Stat of the game: Case held OWU to 21% shooting from the field for the game-- including 8/39 from downtown. That's 93 points' worth of missed threes! In contrast, Case is shooting 45% as a team from long range through three games.
This marks the first time that the Lady Spartans have won three straight games by 15 points or more since the '01-'02 season (Wooster, Capital, and Emory).
But their strongest non-conference D3 opponent, Baldwin-Wallace (3-0, #20), looms next on the schedule. The game is next Tuesday evening-- the fifth anniversary of the Lady Spartans' historic upset victory of the Yellow Jackets, then ranked #2 in the nation, which is the game that first got me hooked on the team.

New poll is out:
Brandeis is #4
Wash U is #9
NYU is #20
And in about an hour, Case plays host to #14 Baldwin-Wallace, their local arch-rival. The home team has won the last six meetings, if you expand the definition of "home team" to mean the school closer to a neutral site. Let's hope that trend continues.

It was a tough loss for Case tonight as they fell to undefeated Baldwin-Wallace, 61-58.
http://www.case.edu/athletics/varsity/winter/wbasketball/stats/2005-06/06WBG_04.HTM
From the boxscore, there's not a single statistic that jumps out as what decided the game (except maybe free throws attempted, but B-W didn't shoot that well from the line.)
Case had their last lead early in the first half, as B-W went up by 11. Three times in the closing minutes, Case pulled to within 1, but B-W always answered back, and a missed 3-pointer at the buzzer was the end for the Lady Spartans.
High scorers for Case were Dana Dempsey with 15 points, and Ashley Horton with 11 (and 11 rebounds).
Case now travels back to PA for a weekend series with Grove City and Westminster.
How are the other teams in the league doing? I don't want to feel like I'm talking to myself.

Brandeis came out of break today and played a helluva game, especially in the second half where they just continued to distance themselves from the Wheaton Lyons: http://d3hoops.com/releases.php?release=47299
Brandeis never trailed in the game and now head to Babson on Saturday to try to continue their dominance. The Babson game can be heard live on www.wbrs.org (they haven't put up our link on the live audio link so I will continue to post our game until they do).
Now #4 in the country, with a loss up top, do they move up to three?

Things have been going pretty well for Brandeis as of late-- the newcomers and starters have been getting ready for the UAA, with Babson being the next opponent tomorrow and I'm getting ready for tomorrow at Babson.
I'm not worried. ;)
What is Bearswatcher so excited about right now? Everyone in the UAA has been keeping up with the Joneses so far, what with single game assist records being broken, teams winning by big margins, players getting double-doubles in the first 15 minutes of game action, and the like, so what is the big deal? Bearswatcher is wondering where the heck have I been? I may not post as much as I used to last year, but that is because I know that when I post, everyone reads it, and my own words have been used by opponents against me in the past, so why should I shout to the rooftops about the Brandeis women? Granted, I am grateful that Brandeis has earned a top 5 ranking this week in the women's poll, but it is very early in the season, with a lot more games to follow.

At 1:15 PM Eastern time today, the game between Brandeis and Babson was declared a "no contest" and officially postponed. Rescheduling of the game is still to be determined.
The reason for the postponement is due to a mixup in the scheduling of referees by the Eastern College Athletic Conference. As a result, no referees were available for today's game between Brandeis and Babson.
This postponement marks the second time this season that a New England DIII women's basketball contest had to be postponed due to inavailablity of referees. The Nov. 19 games in the Tufts women's basketball tip-off tournament were delayed 1 day due to this very issue.
Brandeis's next game will be Wednesday at 7 PM Eastern at Worcester Polytech Institute.

...and Case is 9 points (in 2 games) away from a possible spot in the Top 25. After losing a close one to now-#9 Baldwin-Wallace that came down to the last shot, the Lady Spartans split a pair on the road last weekend. (I'm in the middle of final exams, so I haven't been able to post.)
After a disappointing 4-point loss at Grove City (?) in which they shot 29% from the field and never once held the lead, Case rebounded the next day with a blowout win at Westminster. The players of the weekend were Ashley Horton with 33 points and 21 rebounds in the two games (and who has marked a double-double in each of the last five games) and the leading scorer on the young season, Dana Dempsey, who scored 31 points.
Case stands at 4-2, and the only UAA-caliber opponent they've played is B-W*, but they take on another one at home tomorrow night in Kenyon (7-0). I would be very satisfied with a Lady Spartan win, because that would show that the team would be ready for conference play, and go into the break on a good note.
*You could make a case for Mt. Union, who is now 5-1... they haven't lost since the opening game with Case, and they've already won as many games as last year!

I was at the Brandeis at WPI game last night.
A story of the game can now be found on the Brandeis Athletics page-- http://www.brandeis.edu/athletics, and click on the score of the Brandeis/WPI game.
My quick thoughts on last night and the previous "no game"--
1.) Jaime Capra had 24 points for Brandeis last night, Caitlin Malcolm had 18 points, and Alison Chase had 13 points-- however, I did not find this out until right now, because WPI does their box scores by hand, and I could not get updates from them as the game was going on.
2.) It was pretty chilly inside Harrington Auditorium-- I believe that the interior temperature felt like it was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit, although I did not have a thermometer. I felt the chill inside the building.
3.) Nice touch for WPI to have their band and cheerleaders present, and I got to watch the WPI men's team have a good practice before the court was available for warmups at 6 PM Eastern last night.
4.) In other news, the Brandeis/Babson game from last Saturday that was not played due to officials not being available to call the game will not be made up-- it has now officially been cancelled.
5.) Brandeis returns to the Auerbach Arena for their final game of the first semester as the Judges host Western New England College on Saturday. Tip is at 1 PM Eastern.

My quick thoughts on last night and the previous "no game"--
1.) Jaime Capra had 24 points for Brandeis last night, Caitlin Malcolm had 18 points, and Alison Chase had 13 points-- however, I did not find this out until right now, because WPI does their box scores by hand, and I could not get updates from them as the game was going on.
2.) It was pretty chilly inside Harrington Auditorium-- I believe that the interior temperature felt like it was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit, although I did not have a thermometer. I felt the chill inside the building.
3.) Nice touch for WPI to have their band and cheerleaders present, and I got to watch the WPI men's team have a good practice before the court was available for warmups at 6 PM Eastern last night.
4.) In other news, the Brandeis/Babson game from last Saturday that was not played due to officials not being available to call the game will not be made up-- it has now officially been cancelled.

At 1:15 PM Eastern time today, the game between Brandeis and Babson was declared a "no contest" and officially postponed. Rescheduling of the game is still to be determined.
The reason for the postponement is due to a mixup in the scheduling of referees by the Eastern College Athletic Conference. As a result, no referees were available for today's game between Brandeis and Babson.
This postponement marks the second time this season that a New England DIII women's basketball contest had to be postponed due to inavailablity of referees. The Nov. 19 games in the Tufts women's basketball tip-off tournament were delayed 1 day due to this very issue.
Bands & Cheerleaders, but not refs? This sounds like a very bad joke. Buy the referee association a calendar to keep track of assignments.

Hopefully the refs will make it to Brandeis' home game tomorrow at Red Auerbach Arena against WNEC...
The last time that Brandeis lost a non-conference game was against WNEC two years ago

About that loss 2 years ago to WNEC--
I remember why that loss happened. Brandeis had just come off final exams with only one day between the end of finals and the game to practice. Usually during exams, not much formal practice takes place so that the students can study and take their finals. However, as a result, the Judges were a little rusty, and to top it off, Brandeis played that game in WNEC's gym, the Alumni Healthful Living Center (AHLC) in Springfield, MA, on WNEC's campus.
However, let us get to today's game--
This game is a rematch of two previous home games that Brandeis played last year against WNEC-- one of them was in the first round of the ECAC New England tournament. Last year, Brandeis won both matches at Auerbach Arena, and this game will once again be at Auerbach Arena.
In addition, WNEC has a new coach this year. Former Temple star Nicole Chaszar (Temple '00) now coaches the Golden Bears, with WNEC's former coach, Wendy Davis, having moved on to the NESCAC to become the head coach at Trinity College (CT.) UAA coaches Christy Thomaskutty of Emory and Aaron Roussell of Chicago have all had some early notable success in big games as young coaches-- I just hope that Nicole Chaszar does not join them today in the notable category. WNEC comes into the game with a 5-2 mark, and only lost by 12 to Springfield.
If Brandeis can keep WNEC's Jen Dabrowski, Lisa Massella, and Jessica Harrica in check, then the Judges have a good shot to win this game.

Brandeis won today at the Auerbach Arena, 63-38, in a near textbook example of how to beat Western New England College. The Judges came out ready and focused in every aspect of the game. By halftime, when WNEC, having only made 5 field goals, did not make a 3 pointer and Brandeis was leading 29-12, I knew that I did not have to worry about this one.
WNEC's Lisa Masella was held scoreless, and WNEC's Jen Dabrowski only scored 6 points. Vicky Taylor was the only Golden Bear to score in double figures-- she had 11 points and 12 rebounds.
WNEC was scrappy enough so that Brandeis only won the rebounding battle by 3, 37-34, but Brandeis was in control for the entire game. Brandeis's biggest lead was 29 points with 4:43 left in the game.
The official Brandeis press release can be found on the D3Hoops.com women's basketball scoreboard for Dec. 10.
Brandeis heads into finals and the winter break with a 6-0 mark, and resumes play on Tuesday, January 3, 2006, when the Judges travel to Beverly, MA to take on Endicott. After that, the UAA starts up when Brandeis hosts Carnegie Mellon and Rochester on Friday, Jan. 6, and Sun., Jan. 8 respectively.

Case enters the break at 4-3, after a close 54-51 loss to undefeated Kenyon; the wins are by an average of 17.5 points, while the losses are by an average of 3.3. In the game, both teams made runs early on, and then most of the second half was back-and-forth, but Kenyon simply made more of their shots late in the game. Also, Case only pulled down 31 rebounds as compared to their season average of 44.
From what I can tell so far (from the boxscores of each game), Case can hang with the stronger opponents until the end, but can't quite finish them off; there's still plenty of time in the season to improve, though. When the schedule resumes, Case plays at Bluffton (2-6) on the 28th, and Muskingum (2-5) at home on the 30th, before they enter the grueling UAA season, beginning with Emory (5-1).
Ironically to Aqua Teen Hunger Force fans everywhere, Emory's only loss is to Oglethorpe. ;)

At this stage in the game, the polls are a little fun to read....
Since #1 Millikin lost yesterday by 3 to Illinois College, this will probably guarantee that a UAA team will be in the top 3 for this upcoming week (and probably for next week as well...)
Wash U has a game next Saturday, whereas Brandeis does not, so I will not be surprised if Wash U overtakes Brandeis in the polls by next week if not sooner. Actually, I'm not worried about that, since I favor Wash U to win at home in the UAA contests anyway, and the first Brandeis/Wash U match will be in St. Louis in January. There is still a long way to go, though... :)

Some comments on the WashU team. I've been attending most WashU home games, mens and womens, for about the past 15 years as I work at the University. This year's womens team is as good or better than any team they have had during that time, including the four D3 national champions. Admittedly they don't have a player quite as dominant as Alia Fischer was some years ago, but Kelly Manning is close. And the supporting cast is great. The freshman point guard from Hawaii (Dacanay) is terrific --two-time Hawaii player of the year and McDonalds High School All-American nominee-- and she doesn't even start. They seem to have plenty of outside shooting (which has been a problem at times in recent years) and enough ball handling/speed to deal with D3 presses. The WashU post players (Beehler and Parker) are, I think, strong enough and good enough to play with anyone. We'll see about that when they get Brandeis... Their tightest game thusfar was 11 points vs. DePauw, and it was not nearly as close as the final score might suggest. Not to jinx them this early, but I really think they could easily run the table this year. After some "down" years, WashU is back!

It may change slightly, but these, right now, are the games we're planning to cover for next semester
This one ended on a good note with wins for both the men (though it says Fitchburg State and it should be Framingham State on the website) and women...
I'm curious too to see where Brandeis and Wash U end up this week in the polls...

This week, Brandeis got the #3 national ranking, with a 6-0 record and 541 pts. in the poll.
Wash U is #4 with a 9-0 record and 533 pts. in the poll.
Southern Maine is the new #1 with 623 pts. and 24 out of the 25 first place votes. The other first place vote went to George Fox, which is ranked at #6 this week.
Bowdoin is ranked at #2 with 544 pts. in the poll.
Capital is #5, while Millikin dropped to #7.
So, for the second time, Brandeis reaches the highest national ranking ever received by d3hoops.com. The last time Brandeis was ranked at #3 was on Jan. 18 of this year, after the Judges defeated NYU last season.
This will probably only last for a week until Wash U plays Fontbonne on Saturday.....

Got to watch Chicago play twice this weekend as they were up here in the Twin Cities to play a couple of MIAC teams (St. Kate's and Augsburg) and got relatively easy wins in both contests. I was very impressed with their quickness and overall athleticism. Their one sophomore guard, Nofi Mojidi, literally took over both games in the second half; she's very quick. Also, Susie Gutowski notched her 1,000 point during the game as she's very impressive as well. And their 6'0" force down low, Jennifer Kaiser, is no slouch either and shoots unusually well for someone her size from the perimeter. Just from glancing UAA board I don't see the Maroons getting a lot of love over here but I would say they're definitely a team to keep your eye on.

I can see rewarding a team for playing a tough opponent on the road, but giving a reward for playing that game and taking finals on the same day-- never mind the same week? I thought in DIII, student-athletes were students first. Shouldn't the weekend have been used solely for studying for finals?
The top 5 look right, but now that the results are out, here is how I would have ranked this group this week if I voted:
1.) Wash. U.
2.) Brandeis
3.) S. Maine
4.) Bowdoin
5.) George Fox
And don't get me started on how the rest of the top 25 would be ranked, because it would be tougher....

I would agree with Allen on 3/4, although I'd say Wash U/Brandeis are fairly interchangable. The only thing going for Wash U is that they beat DePauw this year while Brandeis doesn't have a marquee win yet this year(I think).
That being said, this is another argument for why preseason polls should potentially be eliminated. The reason Brandeis is ahead of Wash U(and why Auburn football didn't make the BCS last year) is that they started higher. Wash U's been passing all teams who have lost, but can't pass Brandeis because they're still undefeated. Whether they should or not is a separate question, one I'm not ready to answer until UAA season.

Maine-Farmington is a former NAIA D2 team, but now plays in the North Atlantic Conference in DIII. Maine Maritime is the defending champion of that league, but Maine-Farmington is a primary challenger for that title and the automatic bid of that conference, along with Husson-- Husson is located in Bangor, ME. Maine-Farmington is led by Kari Simpson, a player that Christine Clancy of Brandeis played against in high school.

They can pass Brandeis. Teams swap places occasionally. Didn't it happen just this past poll with George Fox passing Wash U?
Since there are 25 games and not 11-12, there isn't really much comparison to the BCS. There are plenty of chances for things to work themselves out on the court.

Wash U falls to Maryville tonight 63-56 in their last non-conference game of the year to fall to 10-1. This would be considered a bad loss in my book.
Wash U shot 27% in the first half to trail by 16 at the break and battled back throughout the second half, but couldn't make it over the hump. Kelly Manning led the team back early and Manning and Beehler fouled out late. The Bears had chances to cut the lead to 3 with under a minute to go, but Sarah Schell missed a couple of free throws. I would not want to be Chicago at this point, coming into Wash U this weekend.

I guess Wash U would have to be favored to win at home on Saturday over Chicago now, if the Bears weren't favored already. It will still be a tough game, though. :)
Can anyone at Wash U tell me how I can follow this one live since KWUR is not scheduled to cover the game on Saturday?
All the same, congrats to the Maryville Saints on their win tonight. I managed to listen to the final minutes of the game on the Maryville webcast after I got woken up by the news that Wash U was trailing late in the game. I did not expect this news tonight.
So, are my own Brandeis Judges really the #1 team in DIII? I didn't feel like they were after yesterday's 19 point victory over Endicott despite the fact that Brandeis never trailed all game. It must have been that Brandeis had an off night at the free throw line, and that Brandeis did not have the best night on offense. The Judges did hold Endicott to 41 points, though. However, when you consider that NYU had to come from behind in Monday's victory over Montclair St., and also that Wash U never came all the way back tonight against Maryville with Manning and Beehler fouling out of the game, it looks like the real season has just gotten underway.

But, I think that it will only be a 7-point QOWI loss, no different in point value than a road loss to a Brandeis. Wash StL might regret not picking up a win over the likely SLIAC AQ winner. Maryville MO has a 28 game in-conference winning streak. I suspect they will finish with a QOWI >.666.

Well, Case has struggled with illnesses and injuries and now stands at 6-4 before they enter UAA play. This Saturday, the game is at Emory, so I'd need a Universal Remonster to watch it. Can the Lady Spartans continue their 10-game win streak over their traveling partners? Also, their final non-conference game will be at Bethany on Monday.
After that, I will be in Cleveland to watch them take on Chicago (who is still my pick to win the UAA, even if Case won the last meeting by 28) and Wash U (who as we now know, IS beatable). But this Saturday's game between the two may change my opinion there.

As Allen said, Case defeated Emory to extend the streak to 11. After both teams made runs in the first half and went into the locker room tied at 29, Case outshot Emory 43% to 32% in the second half. After the Lady Spartans built a 12-point lead, the home team cut it to five in the last minute, but Case iced the game at the line.
Lynn Oberschmidt of Emory was the game's leading scorer with 17 points, and her teammate MacKenzie Bisset added 13. For Case, Amber Hammell led the way with 15 points, and LaVonne Sherald scored a career-high 13, including 4/4 free throws in the last minute.
Case improves to 7-4, while Emory falls to 9-2, in the UAA opener for both teams. The Lady Spartans' last non-conference game is this Monday at Bethany (4-9), before they host Chicago and Wash U.

WBRSSports, it looks like that schedule that you posted is correct, according to the Brandeis Athletics web site.
This will be the third year that WBRS will be webcasting from NYU in what is going to probably be an annual tradition. Brandeis has huge alumni chapters in New York City and in New Jersey-- so there will be a Brandeis alumni reception room at Coles Center for the UAA doubleheader next Saturday. In addition, New York is not a very long trip from Boston.

I'm now waiting for the vote on the top 25 to take place, and I will comment on that when the vote comes in.

I am going to have move to the UAA board at least you have Allen, Sandman, Bearswatcher and Jag, the NORTHEAST is dead! I don't know whats up with everyone but not like previous years on the NE boards. So since Brandeis is in the Northeast, I will pay closer attention. Allen great recap of the Rochester game on the Blogs, I think that being battle tested early and surviving will help any team and Rochester can't be to bad after beating NYU at NYU. USM had another cakewalk as did Bowdoin so the NE big three keep rolling along. Also, cangrats on the Brandeis milestones this weekend.

There's nothing quite like a good old-fashioned blowout as a tune-up game. Case (8-4) beat Bethany at home, 80-49; I'm so out of touch with the team that I thought the game was away until today.
Four Lady Spartans scored in double figures: Amber Hammell with 13, Ashley Horton with 12, Dana Dempsey with 11, and Andrea Haylett with 10, the most since returning from an ACL tear. Horton also pulled down 12 rebounds for her eighth double-double of the season.
All Case's remaining games are in the UAA now. I will see them play for the first time this season on Friday night, when they take on Chicago, and also on Sunday against Wash U. Both games will be on local radio (WHK AM 1420), which you can access from the Internet:

Friday's game will be joined in progress at 7 PM, but half a game is better than what we had before. ;)

Brandeis got more support this week in the poll-- I humbly thank the voters for this.
The 5 pt. lead by S. Maine in the poll is more based on expectation over the next 5 games, because Rochester is certainly better than Western Connecticut in my opinion. Wash U's blowout victory over Chicago also kept 2 voters in the Wash U camp-- had the game been close, it would have not been clear if the 2 remaining Wash U voters would have stayed with Wash U, split their votes between Brandeis and S. Maine, or completely switch over to Brandeis.
Because the expectation is that S. Maine will run the table in the Little East, the focus switches over to Brandeis and the next 5 games. Brandeis plays a home game tomorrow against MIT, in which the Judges are the favorite to win. Then comes a 3 game UAA road trip gauntlet in which Brandeis has to play at NYU, at Chicago, and at Wash U, with a home game against the NESCAC's Tufts University in between the NYU and Chicago games. This is a very tough stretch coming up for Brandeis.

Yes, Pat, that reason is also true as well.
S. Maine faced a tougher first semester-- having played regional powers Bowdoin, Williams, Bates, and Salem State. In the UAA, Brandeis catches up in the balance with NYU, Chicago, and Wash U coming up in a home and away format before the end of the season.
And I have gotten some e-mail in response to some of my previous writings over the past few days. If people think that I am going to give up on Brandeis in the road games against the top half of my conference just because they are in tough venues, these people are sadly mistaken. I am very proud of the Brandeis women's basketball team no matter what ranking they get. These people work hard and battle every game to win, and it is my responsibility to work just as hard in cheering for them to win every time this season, no matter what the circumstances.

Final score from NYU:
NYU 70, Brandeis 68. A new winning streak at Coles has started.
NYU led most of the second half, but seemed to fall apart as the half went on. With about 2 minutes left to go, they were able to pick up their play again.
Down 1, with 8.6 seconds left, Caitlin Malcolm went 1-2 from the line to tie the game. Rochetti of NYU drove all the way down the court and made a lay-up.
Brandeis committed more than 25 turnovers(this was the number with about 6 minutes left). With this number, it's impressive that the game was this close.
And as a nod to the toughness/parity of the UAA, Wash U at 2-0 is now the only undefeated team in the UAA.

Jag--
Outside of steals, the turnover battle between Brandeis and NYU was close. Brandeis lost the turnover battle becasue NYU stole the ball 14 times in the game, compared to Brandeis's 5 steals.
Despite all of the adversity, Brandeis was in position to win the game in the final minutes, and that is about all I realistically can expect for a game at the Coles Center. If Brandeis had won, it would have been especially sweet.
Brandeis needed to shoot 80% from the free throw line for the entire game to win this, not just 80% from the FT line for the second half.

Chicago beats Emory 72-62 - setting up the big weekend. Brandeis and NYU visit Chicago and Wash U.
Wash is 3-0 in the UAA, the other three are 2-1. Friday, Brandeis at Chicago and NYU at Wash. Sunday, NYU at Chicago and Brandeis at Wash. Any predictions where things will stand at this time next week?
Where does Rochester fit in the equation? 2-1 in the UAA and 11-3 overall. A win at NYU and a close loss at Brandeis. Their loss to Baldwin Wallace (13-2) is not a bad one although the other non-conference loss to Union (8-5) does not look that good. Rochester is at Wash & Chicago on Jan 27 and 29 and then hosts them the following weekend.

While this is true(the turnovers), you can't expect to turn the ball over 27 times and win. The fact that Brandeis was this close is a testament to how good they really are.

A visiting team also cannot let NYU score 70 pts at Coles Center and expect to win.
However, this first major road test was a good experience, and hopefully this will make Brandeis better as the season goes along.
Brandeis will look to bounce back when the Judges host Tufts University tomorrow night. Brandeis will look to get an undefeated non-conference season for the second year in a row, while Tufts will be hoping to cash in on an opportunity. There are no automatic wins against Tufts University-- one has to work hard to get this victory.

Some comments on this weekend's games in Cleveland:
If I voted in the poll, Wash U would be #1. There's no doubt about that one after they had a match-up advantage at every position and capitalized on every opportunity they had (they even made 2/3 of their shots in the first half). This was the worst home loss that the Lady Spartans have had since I started following the team in 2000. Wash U controlled the tempo the entire game, except for the end when Case's starters wore out the Bears' third string to cut a 44-point lead down to 28.
Danielle Beehler (even with the mask) kept getting open looks in the paint all afternoon to the tune of 20 points in as many minutes, and Kelly Manning added 16-- didn't she graduate yet? Nobody for Case reached double figures in any statistical category-- except minutes.
Some time, in the distant future, Case will beat Wash U; I just hope I'm there to see it.
And about Friday-- Case was on fire (8/16) from downtown in the first half but looked scared for almost all of the second half, and Chicago ended the game on an 18-0 run. There's not much else to say about that one.
The Lady Spartans now stand at 8-6, 1-2 in the league. They start a four-game road trip at Carnegie Mellon on Friday; if they can end up 6-8 in the conference yet again, they'll finish the season with a winning record.

A quick recap of the non-conference records of the top UAA teams (and the in region nonconference W-L):
Brandeis 9-0 (9-0)
Chicago 11-0 (8-0)
NYU 11-0 (11-0)
Rochester 9-2 (9-1)
Washington 10-1 (4-1)
I don't know if the fact that Bradeis has only nine non-conference games will affect them on selection day. The primary criteria is regional record (all conference games are in region) followed by the Quality of Wins Index (in regional games). According to Pat Coleman, at large playoff teams usually have a QoW greater than 10.
They are a pain to calculate - and change as your opponents records change. Brandeis has a QoW of 12.3. Chicago is 10.8. I think those are accurate - but I did not feel like calculating any more.
It is realistic that the UAA can get 4 teams into the tournament. If they just keep beating each other, the UAA can have four teams with 20 wins and QoW greater than 10. The teams will be competing against teams in different regions - Chicago and Wash in the Central, Brandeis in the NE and NYU and Rochester in the East.
There are 63 slots in the tournament this year - 38 Pool A (automatic qualifiers), 4 pool C and 21 pool C. In 1995 (in a 64 team field), the UAA sent four teams to the tournament (Chicago, Wash, Emory, NYU). Five if you include Johns Hopkins which also went that year.
Brandeis 9-0 (9-0)
Chicago 11-0 (8-0)
NYU 11-0 (11-0)
Rochester 9-2 (9-1)
Washington 10-1 (4-1)

The bigger issue for Chicago is their opponents. Chicago is 0-1 against opponents that will be regionally ranked and had not played a team with a record over .500 until the conference games.
Also, I would check your math. I don't think you're right on Brandeis' QoWI, but I could be mistaken. Don't forget that the loss still counts in that number. I got a total of either 137 or 144 quality win points(I forgot if I included the loss to NYU, so I added it on the 137).
Regardless, Brandeis is a tournament team, assuming they don't fall apart down the stretch.

The Bears went back on offense and the ball went out of bounds with 5 seconds left. Kelly Manning then threw the inbounds pass out of bounds. NYU inbounded the ball and then was able to run out the clock.

Case (9-6, 2-2) got back on track with a 64-48 win at Carnegie Mellon (5-10, 0-4). Most importantly, senior forward Carmen Rowan returned to action after a shoulder injury. The stat of the game was rebounds as Case held a 42-26 advantage, including 15 by Ashley Horton.
High scorers were for Case, Amber Hammell with 17 and Mary Herendeen with 12; for CMU, Leah Feola with 12 and Gemma Easterling with 11.
Case now travels to Rochester, where they haven't won in years (the home team has taken 10 of the last 11 games).

Courtesy of WYSL AM 1040:
Rochester leads Case 34-27 at the half. Case has freely used a 10-player rotation, which is good because otherwise they would have too many players in foul trouble. The U of R made a run after Case jumped out to an early 8-point lead.
Leading scorers:
Danielle Muller (UR) 11 points
Ashley Horton (Case) 8 points

My thoughts on the Brandeis weekend, as currently written from Olin Library at Wash U in St. Louis--
As you can see, I made the Midwest trip this year. The Brandeis teams and most of the travelling Brandeis fans are on their way back to Lambert Airport to catch their flights back home-- I will be flying back home on United Airlines tomorrow morning. (It was cheaper for me to stay an extra night.)
Despite the outcomes today, I thought that this trip was a successful one. Brandeis got a much needed road victory at Chicago, and with the NYU women winning on Friday, I knew that this game was going to be a tough one. Brandeis needed to play a perfect, smart game today to win, and the Judges did not come close. Wash U's control of the boards was the difference in today's women's game-- that allowed the Bears to take 17 more field goal attempts than Brandeis.
Chicago and St. Louis are both fine cities, and I encourage any one of you to visit them if you can in your travels.
I loved Beach Night in Chicago on Friday night-- the Chicago games had a Division I like atmosphere to them with a crowd of about 1,000 present on Friday. I did like the part where the announcer announced that the starting lineups were presented by Hyde Park Bank. (the local bank that sponsors Chicago Maroons athletics.) Also, the part where the announcer would shout on every possession a la Chicago Bulls style-- "It's Chitown basketball!" was funny at first, but got tiring the more it got repeated.
I thank the Chicago cheerleaders for treating me well, and presenting me with a blue Hawaiian lei. :)
PS-- I can't believe that the NYU women are leading early at Chicago-- still plenty of time left, though.

Case cutting a 24-point deficit down to 6 at Brandeis is nothing to sneeze at (though falling behind by that many in the first place sure is). Anyway, I look forward to the rematch next Sunday. I won't be making the trip to Cleveland though, because it's Super Bowl Sunday and I'm hosting a party.
Now that NYU is playing without their leading scorer and has lost at home to Emory, these next two games are a prime opportunity for Case to beat a team, against whom their all-time record is a mere 1-24.

The Bears make a road trip next weekend to CMU and Rochester. While Wash U has (at least, I know no other results right now from today) a one game lead in the UAA at the halfway point, they will play 5 road games and only two home games the rest of the way. They host Emory and Case and travel to everyone else.

Case's two games this weekend will be held at Adelbert Gym for Throwback Weekend (an idea that I wish they had done while I was at school there). The Lady Spartans will wear gold jerseys displaying "Mather College", the name of the women's college that became part of Western Reserve University (and later CWRU). If I recall correctly, these games will be the first women's intercollegiate basketball games played in that venue.
Game times are at 6PM tonight vs. NYU and 2PM on Sunday vs. Brandeis. You can listen to them live at http://www.case.edu/athletics/varsity/broadcast/ on WHK 1420 AM.

I am following the UAA action on the Internet this weekend.
I am currently listening to the NYU v. Case game on the Net, and I will call Bob DeMartino at halftime to get an update on the Brandeis/Emory game. If the score is close enough at halftime for me to pay $40 to go on Teamline, I will do so. If Brandeis has a comfortable enough lead at halftime, I will continue listening to the NYU/Case game.
Knowing Emory, I may have to go on Teamline for the second half, but who knows?
Janice Quinn is really yelling loud at her players to play at the moment....
Adelbert Gym's "Hoosier-like" atmosphere is really showing on the Internet broadcast-- it sounds like a huge crowd has gathered for the start of Case's Throwback weekend....

According to the update from Bob DeMartino, Brandeis did not take its first lead until about 6 min left in the first half.
I'm undecided about logging on to Teamline-- this looks like a close enough score, but Bob is optimistic that Brandeis will build on the lead in the second half.

I was asked in a private message if Caitlin Malcolm had reached the 1,000 pt. milestone mark this evening.
As I could not listen to the Brandeis v. Emory game, I will have to wait for the play by play sheet from Emory, which should be available in about a half hour, to find out more.
Unfortunately, I do not have good news to report on the 'Deis side. According to Bob DeMartino, Emory had a big second half to defeat Brandeis by 10 pts.
I will know more when the Emory site gets updated with the score and play by play.
NYU did defeat Case tonight, 74-63. Case had a tight lead for most of the second half, and the game was tied at 57 all with 7 min. to play, but Case ran out of gas in the last 5 minutes and NYU built a 13 pt. lead with less than a minute to go before settling for the final score.

Emory confirmed the line score result on its webpage.
Emory defeated Brandeis tonight by a score of 62-52. Emory outscored Brandeis, 36-21, in the second half to pull out the win.
It is the first time this season that Brandeis has lost to a team not ranked in the top 25, and unfortunately, the advice given last season for the Judges not to lose to Emory this year could not be met. The Emory Wheel student newspaper today seemed to be spot on in its analysis of the matchup, although I will know more once Emory submits the final box score later this evening. I guess that Emory is waiting for the doubleheader to conclude.
On the other hand, Caitlin Malcolm of Brandeis did score her 1,000th career point today to join the Brandeis women's basketball 1,000th point club. The milestone happened with 13:58 to go in regulation, so congrats to Caitlin, although I did wish that it would take place under better circumstances.
In other scores, Rochester swept the season series against Chicago today. Rochester defeated the Maroons by a final score of 68 to 59.

Here is how Caitlin Malcolm was able to get to 1,000 career points tonight.
Malcolm scored her first 2 pts. on a layup 2 min. and 15 sec. into the game. At about 5 min into the game, Malcolm makes her 2nd layup. At 6:57 into the game, Malcolm makes 1 of 2 at the FT line. At 10:10 into the game, Malcolm makes 2 of 2 at the line. Malcolm hits a layup with 4:34 left in the first half, and a jumper with 2:32 left in the first half. Malcolm makes 1 of 2 at the line with 1:32 left in the half.
All in all in the first half, Malcolm scored 12 pts.
A correction to make-- Malcolm got her 1,000th point with 13:56 to go in the game on a free throw. Malcolm hit 2 of 2 at the line at that point, I believe.
Reading the play-by-play, the game played out very much like a typical Brandeis at Rochester game in that the way that Emory played tonight was very similar to how one would expect Rochester to play against Brandeis at the Palestra in Rochester, NY. Emory's defense limited Brandeis to 5 of 27 shooting in the second half-- that is very similar to last year at Rochester when Brandeis only made 1 field goal in the second half. Like last year's game at Rochester, Brandeis could not make a big run to build a comfortable lead in the first half-- forcing the Judges to try to counter runs by the other team in the second half. Tonight, Brandeis could get no closer than 2 pts with 5 min to go after losing their 5 pt halftime lead 3 min. into the second half.
Once again, today's Emory Wheel hit this game spot on in its pre-game analysis.
Malcolm scored her first 2 pts. on a layup 2 min. and 15 sec. into the game. At about 5 min into the game, Malcolm makes her 2nd layup. At 6:57 into the game, Malcolm makes 1 of 2 at the FT line. At 10:10 into the game, Malcolm makes 2 of 2 at the line. Malcolm hits a layup with 4:34 left in the first half, and a jumper with 2:32 left in the first half.

Tonight, Brandeis could get no closer than 2 pts with 5 min to go after losing their 5 pt halftime lead 3 min. into the second half.
Once again, today's Emory Wheel hit this game spot on in its pre-game analysis.

I just saw the CN-8 piece on the Brandeis Judges that the Brandeis website mentioned was going to air tonight. For those of you in New England with Comcast who missed this piece, you can get the show "Sports Pulse" for Feb. 3 on the video on demand section starting tomorrow. The piece airs at the 43 minute mark into the show.
I loved the feature piece tonight, and I enjoyed the comments from Amanda DeMartino, Christine Clancy, Caitlin Malcolm, and coach Carol Simon. The feature took a look at the Judges in practice and included footage from last Friday's Brandeis v. Case game.
Hopefully, Brandeis will adjust to the tougher, adjusted defenses that UAA teams will show against Brandeis in the remaining 6 games of the regular season. It will be interesting to see how Brandeis responds on Sunday against Case, and especially how Brandeis will play next Friday at Rochester. Case comes first on Sunday, however.

Well, there was a trend in the two Case/NYU matchups-- in both games, Case held a lead in the second half, but NYU made a big run to pull away (although tonight, they didn't totally dominate the half). Simply put, you can't allow your opponent to shoot over 50% in either half of a game-- but that's happened in quite a few of Case's losses in the UAA.
The main highlight for Case was that Amber Hammell tied her career high with 26 points-- although no one else on the team scored in double figures in either NYU game.
The Lady Spartans now stand in 7th place at 2-6, and they must win 4 of their last 6 games to finish with a winning record overall. Next up on the schedule is Brandeis, also in Adelbert Gym.

Emory probably could get a Pool C bid if they weren't in the UAA. There's just too many strong teams (the whole top half of the league). I will just root for them to continue to pull off some upsets because with 6 regional losses, they've got to be near perfect to get a sniff of a Pool C bid.
I've got them at 10.267 QoWI right now with a 9-6 record. Who knows? What the rest of the league like with QoWI?

Thanks, Sandman, for the update. I've been too intent on listening to the Brandeis v. Case game to really do much posting.
Nice run by the Judges to open up a double digit lead at halftime. Game is not over yet, and the Judges will have to adjust to whatever Case will try to use to make a run to get back into the game into the second half. First few minutes of the second half will be critical-- too often on the road in the UAA this year, a Brandeis lead at halftime has disappeared very quickly.

Three-pointers are the difference in the game-- Case still hasn't made one while 'Deis has at least six. Oddly, most of Case's scoring has come from the post players, against the trend of recent Case/ Brandeis games.

I don't care how strong the UAA is, if a team isn't at/over .500 in their conference, they probably shouldn't be in the tournament. And the ACC men are only going to get 3/4 teams in the tournament this year, so it probably isn't the best comparison. At this rate, I would expect 3 from the UAA and no more than 4. Keep in mind that Rochester, NYU, Brandeis, and Wash U still have to lose at least another 5 games between the 4 of them.

I am now reading the on-line newspaper of today's edition of the Brandeis Justice-- http://www.thejusticeonline.com
There is an article talking about the women's trip to Emory and Case, and I am getting very concerned that the Brandeis media is putting some unwarranted pressure on the women's basketball team. There is pressure and it is nearing a crisis, but it has not yet reached the crisis point.
The media seem to be writing about this year's NCAA tournament as if the bracket has not been expanded and that there are still only 7 NCAA Pool C bids rather than the 21 Pool C bids now available. The Brandeis Justice and the Brandeis Hoot are convinced that the only way for the Judges to make the NCAA tournament is to go 5-0 the rest of the way.
Here is some analysis:
Against the bottom half of the UAA (currently consisting of Chicago, Emory, Case, and Carnegie Mellon)-- Brandeis is 2-1 on the road against those teams. Brandeis plays at Carnegie Mellon on Sunday-- a win would give Brandeis a record of 3-1 on the road against the bottom half of the UAA, a very good record on a Priority #2 perspective to be successful in a tough conference-- beating the bottom half of your conference on the road.
Brandeis is 0-2 on the road against the top half of the UAA (currently consisting of NYU, Wash U and Rochester, as well as Brandeis.) Rochester is currently in the top half of the UAA, taking over where Chicago used to be. Because Brandeis lost last Friday in Atlanta, Brandeis will need to get a victory at Rochester this upcoming Friday to have a chance to get a winning conference record on the road. Because it is tough to win on the road in the UAA, a 4-3 overall conference road mark would be very good.
The final 3 game home stretch will be very critical for NCAA purposes because priority #1 in a tough conference such as the UAA is taking care of your business at home. Brandeis is currently undefeated at home this season, and lost only 1 game at home last season.
Winning 4 out of 5 will give Brandeis one of the 21 Pool C bids this season-- 4 wins gives Brandeis a 19-4 mark, winning regional pct. of .826, and Brandeis is very secure in the Quality of Wins Index perspective at this moment-- the currently QWI of Brandeis after Sunday's games currently stands at 11.000 even, according to my calculations. Winning 3 of 5 gives Brandeis an 18-5 mark (.783 regional pct.) and probably gives Brandeis a "bubble" Pool C, although I would have to check the conference tourney results at that point. If Brandeis only wins 2 of 5 or worse, then Brandeis will have to defend the ECAC title.
All the same, I do want Brandeis to win every game that they can-- the more wins the Judges get, the better that they will do. And I do want Brandeis to win at Rochester on Friday and get the sweep (partly for my local pride).

Maryville over Wash U.?...I blinked and then refreshed my computer when I saw that. Someone please explain... I know it is a numbers game, but the Bears have one conference loss and of course the non-conference loss at Maryville. Is that enough to Maryville on top? and what about Strength of Schedule?

Respectfully, this time, it is not numbers. The Handbook lists Head-to-Head is one of the Primary Criteria, and Maryville beat WashStL head-to-head.
Most accurately, Maryville should be ranked above Wash StL!

Even with the teams who Wustl has beaten? Seems like the conference schedule of Wustl would play a larger part in the ranking. And placing all that weight on one loss. Seemingly the true reason they are higher is that they are undefeated in-region, simply because the only non-SLIAC team that they played was Washington University. On the other hand, Wustl's in region included their loss to NYU in addtion to the Maryville loss. Besides Wustl, has Maryville beaten a top 25 team in-region?

Must say I am disappointed by your post Ralph. Usually agree with most things you say, but to say that Maryville should be ahead of Wash U simply because of 1 game is the same as saying that Salem State should be ahead of Southern Maine because they beat them head-to-head(which did not occur in their region). The criteria are:
• Win-loss percentage against regional opponents
• Quality-of-Wins-Index (only contests versus regional competition)
• In-region head-to-head competition.
• In-region results vs. common regional opponents.
• In-region results vs. regionally ranked teams
Maryville has the better win-loss percentage and the head to head but trails by more than 6/10ths of a point in RQoWI which should be considered much more than the first two. Wash U is also 3-2 vs regionally ranked opponents with 2 wins over Rochester and 1 over Brandeis with loses to NYU and Maryville. Maryville is 1-0(just over Wash U).
In fact, Maryville's regional record vs regional opponents with a regional record over .500 is...1-0. That's right. Maryville has played 1 regional opponent with a regional record over .500. That could become 2 if Webster wins another regional game but right now is 1. In fact, 6 of their 11 regional wins have come against teams at .333 or worse regionally.
Compare that to Wash U who has 6 regional wins vs teams greater than .600 and only 3 wins against teams that are .333 or worse regionally in 14 regional contests. They are also both undefeated against common in region opponents.
To simply look at 1 game and not the overall season would be a travesty for the game of basketball. Maryville may have won that game fair and square but to completely disregard, QoWI(which marginally takes strength of schedule into account) as well as the much stronger competition faced by Wash U(same things could be said for Carroll, Lawerence, Wheaton, and IWU) would be against everything that the basketball season should be about.

You guys all know I'm a Wash U fan/alum. That said, I completly agree with ranking Maryville over Wash U at this point.
Is there a link to the criteria for Regional Rankings?
1) Maryville played 10 games against non-SLIAC teams.
2) The D3Hoops Top 25 has no effect on the regional-rankings, so your question there is irrelevant.
3) The overall record is not so important to the regional rankings, so 10-0 is better than 12-2, especially if we're talking about the 10-0 team being the 12-2 team.
4) Maryville's QoWI of 10.400 is not much worse than Wash U's 11.0something.
5) Just because these are the current rankings doesn't mean that if if they stay that way that Maryville will be the #1 seed in the region in the tournament or host Wash U.
6) As I seem to state several times now, if Wash U is really a better team than Maryville, they'll win in the tournament and then none of this matters.
Ralph, I agree completely with you on this one.

Joel,
The 10 non-SLIAC wins are irrelevant except the 1 against Wash U. The other 9 were all out of region and have no bearing in any regional ranking criteria unless the primary are split. If you get into those, Wash U beat Depauw(#1 in their region and #1 nationally in RQoWI) and additionally beat Hanover who Maryville lost too. So let's both agree those don't matter.
Also, no one has mentioned the D3hoops top 25?!?!
Additionally, to say that 6/10th of a point in QoWI is nothing is kinda off base. 6/10ths is a difference between 11th and 31st in the top 100 teams and those top 100 teams are only seperated by a little under 3.5 points(12.4 to 9). Also of note is the difference between that 3.5 points is a team that is 15-0 regionally to a team that is 9-9 regionally. So .6 points is not a trival difference.
I totally agree that the first rankings doesn't mean it will stay that way and Wash U must win their critical upcoming games if any debate is to still remain at all(since Maryville will most likely win out considering they have no opponents over .500 left). Wins against Brandeis and NYU are critical being regionally ranked opponents and losses against Emory, Case, or Chicago are equally as damaging and with the high quality of the UAA we already know no wins are easy.
The only reason the rankings matter is in determining hosting and while I still believe Wash U will win even at Maryville, I still prefer hosting tournament games to playing on the road.
There isn't any clear cut answers, but in any debate, simply looking at a record doesn't say alot about who that record was against and there is no denying the lack of quality(except 1 game) in Maryville's 10-0 compared to Wash U.
For that matter, I do not believe that Maryville should be ranked above Carroll, Lawrence, or Wheaton either. All those teams also play tougher schedules and have excelled in difficult conferences. You can't just solely look at a record without looking at what is underneath that record. And for Maryville, what's underneath is a weak schedule. Compare against any #1 ranking team in any other region and still tell me that Maryville's quality of schedule matches up well with any of them. It's just not true.
Just for quick reference...regional records of the other 7 regional opponents for Maryville:
Webster: 8-8
Fontbonne: 7-8
MacMurray: 5-10
Greenville: 4-11
Blackburn: 2-13
Westminster (Mo.): 2-11
Principia: 1-8
Their 4 remaining games are against teams with a combined regional record of 10-42 which is a win percentage of 0.192. That definitely does not sound like quality to me.

Since they only rank 6 teams in region, this has to refer to the D3Hoops Top25.

Yea. Didn't see that line. Probably meant beaten anyone regionally ranked but just didn't say it right. And you may be right that they don't have the gym to host. I truely believe that this first ranking doesn't really matter though and while it may provide a fun topic of debate as to whether teams are being ranked as they should be, if Wash U and others take care of their business the rankings will fall where we all believe they should be. Bottom line though, you are right that if they are the better team, Wash U will beat them in the tournament.

Case plays their final two road games this weekend, at Wash U and Chicago (the same teams I saw them lose to at home). They need at least one win in order to have any chance at finishing with a winning record overall. In other words, they've got to beat Chicago, because blah blah blah Case has never beaten Wash U yada yada.
I'll be watching a high school game tonight (for experience, I'm training to become a high school ref) so I won't find out how the Lady Spartans fare until later tonight. Given their most recent performance vs. the Bears, I'd be pleasantly surprised if they lose by fewer than 20 points.
Question for Allen and/or the Wash U fans: By how many points did Wash U beat Brandeis in Waltham last year, before 'Deis knocked off the Bears in St. Louis? There is precedent.

Case did not have one of their team leaders, Carmen Rowen, in the first meeting against the Bears, so there is now a different vibe on the court for them. Also, they were so flat against the Bears in that first meeting contrasting to the energy that they had versus NYU in throwback weekend.
Case is still dangerous. In the beginning of the season, they only lost to Baldwin-Wallace by 3. Case led 54-50 with 10:34 to play in the second period. And NYU tied the game with eight minutes left. And Case lost to Brandeis this past weekend by 6. Similar to Carnegie Mellon, Case may be dangerous becuase they have nothing to lose.
Last season Wash U beat Brandeis 70-40 at Brandeis and then lost 59-55 at home.

Still the biggest games of the weekend will be in Rochester this weekend. If Rochester can defend their home court(which we all know is one of the hardest places to win) the whole complexion of the UAA race could change. Obviously Wash U still needs to take care of their business against two tough teams who have been playing well of late but the battle of the #2 teams this weekend are the games to watch. For Wash U's sake, I hope Rochester can get two big wins.

That's good to hear we've got some UAA representation on the 25th Anniversary Team. I did vote for Fahey, Fischer, and Rodgers, because they represent what I think was the greatest dynasty in D3 women's basketball history-- maybe all of NCAA (their 80-game win streak is tops across all divisions on the women's side). Even though I'm a UConn fan, I still acknowledge the Wash U team from '98-'01 as more dominant than UConn from '02-'04-- although UConn would probably win a head-to-head matchup easily.
Thanks for the info. Wash U beat Case, 77-47, by the same margin as Brandeis last year, and this time the Lady Spartans will have senior forward Carmen Rowan in the lineup, so it's not a forgone conclusion that Wash U will win tonight. However, in the previous game, my friend declared it over five minutes in, when Wash U led 18-4, and the Lady Bears led by 27 at the half and by as many as 44 before Case's starters were able to wear out Wash U's C-team. Will the return of the captain and a change of venue make a difference? Let's find out tonight.

Emory is Case's travel partner so they'll also get a crack at Chicago and Wash. U. This is a make or break weekend for the Eagles. They've got to get at least a split for any hope of staying within sight of a Pool C berth. They have taken out NYU and Brandeis in the past two weeks so who knows.

Definitely a much closer game than the first meeting of the year. This may be Wash U's biggest lead of the game so far.

Well, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. ;) At least this one was still in doubt at some point in the second half, but Wash U went on one of their trademark runs to start the half, and Case only shot 22% from the field in the last 20 minutes.
The 64 points is the fewest that Case has allowed Wash U since 1993, but you've still got to be able to score yourself.
Case is now 9-12 (after being 8-4) and has to win out to salvage a winning season.

Just my quick thoughts, since the server here at the Rochester Airport Marriott just went back up after being down for most of the morning....
I was very glad that the Brandeis women won last night at Rochester. This was a victory that the team needed very badly to prove that Brandeis could beat a top team in the UAA on the road. I was very intense in my cheering last night-- probably the most intense that I have been at a game.
According to Bob DeMartino, John Wise drank a whole bottle of DeWars (liquor) last night. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a hot dog place that served hot Zweigle's hot dogs-- a local food of Rochester's.
I'm heading off to Pittsburgh within the hour.

And CMU is definately an energized young team. Hopefully CMU's Rachelle Roll is 100% after suffering a right ankle sprain with six minutes left last weekend vs. Wash U. A team with nothing to lose is definately dangerous especially with motivation from Emory pulling upsets in conference play. But expect the experience of 'Deis to play out in this one.

Must say I am disappointed by your post Ralph. ...
Good evening, bearsfan! :)
I was only looking at the criteria that are available. Maryville has done everything that the Handbook has asked them to do! I cannot quibble with their 12-0 in-region record.
Until they lose, I have to give them their due. They have won every in-region game, including WashStL.
I often do not understand what the Committee is thinking. But, I am inclined to rank them #1 until they lose. I may look at their in-region QOWI more carefully after a single loss, but I have a hard time not acknowledging a team that has won every single in-region game.

Chicago leads Case 41-34 at halftime. I have to go and I won't be able to give any more updates.
U of C shot 61% from the field! High scorers are Susie Gutowski with 12 for Chicago and Amber Hammell with 11 for Case.

Thanks for the standings update, Joel. Since I couldn't follow the 2nd half of the Case-Chicago game, I can merely comment on the boxscore.
This was exactly the kind of win the Case needed-- to end a six-game losing streak and salvage a rare road split vs. the Lady Maroons.
After Chicago led by 13 in the first half by their absolutely torrid shooting percentage, Case made a run to close within two. U of C extended their lead early in the 2nd half, but then Case took a six-point lead with some good 3-point shooting with 5:00 to go. However, Chicago scored the next ten points to lead 67-63 with 2:11 left. The Lady Spartans managed to tie it with 33 seconds to go, and they forced a turnover to get a chance to win it. However, they turned it over with five seconds left and fouled on the fast break. Alex Leach made one of two free throws to give Chicago the lead with three seconds left. Carmen Rowan rebounded the second shot and Case called timeout with one second left. Maria Jackson then took the inbounds pass and threw it to Ashley Horton at the right elbow, who banked in the game-winning shot at the buzzer!
Horton and Dana Dempsey both scored 13 points for Case, while Amber Hammell led the team with 17. For Chicago, Nofi Mojidi, Susie Gutowski, and Korry Schwanz scored 14, 12, and 11 points respectively.
Case now stands at 10-12 but now has some momentum going into their season-ending three-game homestand. Rochester looms ahead, but the other two teams Case has already beaten on the road. They Lady Spartans may yet finish with a winning record. As for Chicago, they now have six in-region losses and will probably have to win out (against three ranked teams, no less) to get a Pool C bid.

Here's a quick list of Case buzzer-beaters since I've followed the team:
16-Jan-01: Dawn Bialosky at Johns Hopkins (score was tied before the shot)
11-Feb-01: Erin Rogalski vs. Chicago (on Senior Day; with the score tied, she was fouled on a shot as time expired. She made the first free throw to win the game.)
27-Feb-02: "The Shot"-- Jasmine Rowan at Mt. St. Mary-- NCAA Tournament 1st Round (score was tied, but Case's captains had fouled out and the Lady Spartans would have, in all likelihood, lost in overtime if Rowan hadn't made the 30-footer.) Thanks to Pat for mentioning this one in the Daily Dose.
26-Feb-05: Ashley Horton at Emory (tied the score at the end of regulation; she was fouled but missed the FT, but then Case won in overtime)
12-Feb-06: Ashley Horton at Chicago (trailed by 1 before the shot)
16-Jan-01: Dawn Bialosky at Johns Hopkins (score was tied before the shot)
11-Feb-01: Erin Rogalski vs. Chicago (on Senior Day; with the score tied, she was fouled on a shot as time expired. She made the first free throw to win the game.)

Hey all- Attended the WUSTL/Emory game yesterday. The first half, in which the game was decided, was a case of the Lady bears playing very well, and Emory looking lost in the offensive set. They did not help themselves out at all- they missed 6-8 shots from 8ft in. Wustl did what they will need to do to progress in the tourney- they made open shots, they pounded the low block on offense, they moved the ball well. Great effort. This team frustrates the heck out of me when they refuse to block out though. Against NYU it lost them the game, and vs Maryville it made them look so sloooooooow. If they rebound, I feel they can defeat any team in the nation.
I also feel that in close tourney-type games, they need to have manning bring the ball up the court. She disappears way to much for such a high-caliber player.

I agree. I don't think she needs to bring the ball up the court, but in all the years I've watched Kelly, she's seemed to be more of a second-half type player, where she takes over the game then. Admittedly, it doesn't matter in games like yesterday.
Although, with Danielle Beehler establishing a post presence early, Manning's early scoring isn't as important(except for games like Rochester when they trailed by double-digits in the first half). This is the first year in a while I think we've had other girls who can take some of the scoring load off Manning.

I definately agree with the rebounding. Wash U. is such a fast break based team that without rebounding, the slower-pased game is not in their favor. Wash U. runs so that they can get to their opponents bench.
I disagree that Manning needs to bring the ball up the court. Wash U. runs even after their opponent scores so it is more important for the two wings to run and cross to begin their fast break. Manning bringing the ball up the court would dilute their offense especially because she runs off screens with a reggie miller like style. Manning was in foul trouble vs. Rochester, and vs. NYU there were opportunities for other players to step up in the first half but their shots just weren't falling, and vs. Maryville it was just ugly.
Manning's first half scoring - 9, 8, 8, 18, 10, 11, 16, 22, 25, 18, 4,10, 14, 9, 5, 10, 7, 7, 10, 3, 5, 5
Pretty consistent first halves with the exception of Maryville (she finished with 21 points), NYU (finished with 22 points) and Rochester (she finished with 19 points).
Boxing out vs. NYU did not cost Wash U. the game in second chance points.
2nd chance points-NYU 17,WASHU 14
Instead, Wash U was simply unable to run their fast break.
Fast break points-NYU 10,WASHU 0.
Big weekend for the Bears coming up though with Brandeis and NYU.

Yea. I have to agree that having Manning bring the ball up is not the best of ideas. She's one of the fastest players on the court anytime she steps out there and always having defenses respect her ability to explode down the court for layups is what allows the Bears break to work so well.
I think the Bears are in very good shape bringing the ball up. Sarah Schell is a very capable point guard who seldom has the ball taken in the backcourt and is one of the best passers in Bear's history(as her pace to break the assist record by midway of senior season shows) and back-up Shanna Lei Dacanay is a phenomnal dribbler with incredible quickness. Anyone who has seen her last few apparances can see her abilities. Any guard who can dribble through a triple team can bring the ball up the court in any situation.
I think the main factor for the Bears in tight games has been the fact that when teams mark Kelly with a fast player like NYU and Maryville did, other players have to step up. Those two games, that didn't happen and alot of easy shots were missed but on most other occasions, players like Beehler, Parker, Schell, Dacany, Benson, and McFarlin are all capable of taking over a game and each has done so at some point this season.
The main factor in if the Bears can go all the way is going to come down to how they are shooting from the field and their free throw shooting. In the games they have lost, it has been abysmal shooting from the field and charity stripe that have doomed the Bears and not how much Kelly Manning scored. As BlakcMajikc pointed out, Kelly had 20+ in both losses just like almost every other game this season.

OK, I admit that Manning bringing the ball up may not be the best idea, but i do think they need to make an effort to get her consistantly more involved. She works so hard to get open and half the time they do not even look for her. I like the Reggie Miller comparison- I can see her coming around a screen just like Miller did.
I also appreciate the point on free-throws. Sounds simple, but can make all the difference. Over the last 4 years, it seems that we have seen the bears lose out in games that were winnable, save for a few crucial errors. Free throws have been one of those things. Missed "gimmes" vs NYU lost the game for them as well.
I was very impressed with Schell on Sunday, as I was with the young pg. It will come down to someone stepping up besides Manning, and I think that it has to be Behler or Parker.

Yea, Spirit, I totally agree they have to get Manning more involved in those close games. I think Kelly is able to get more involved in games where the inside presence of Beehler, Parker, McFarlin is felt. When the posts are playing well, I've noticed Kelly gets alot more open looks on post reaction.
The dribble penetration of Schell and Dacanay also really help in getting Kelly more looks. It's seemed lately like Schell, Dacanay, and Benson have started looking to be more of a scoring threat which I think will benefit Kelly as well.
I agree though that it is going to have to be solid post play that will have to be present in the big games if the Bears are going to be competitive for the championship.

I would have to say those are the two leading candidates. I think at this point I would go with Porter but these last 3 games could really have a big impact on that. I think the biggest thing going for these two is the difference they seem to have made in their teams current performance(both teams are above their preseason conference rankings).
I think you have to give consideration to players like Roll of CMU, McEntee of NYU and Decanay of Wash U(who has been the definition of a point guard in her minutes played-5th in UAA in assists, 2nd in assist-to-turnover ratio, and 14th in steals).
Still I think Porter and Turner are just a few steps ahead right now. Lets see what the second pack can do in these last three games to close the conference season. Maybe we will have a dark horse candidate come on strong to finish out the season.

I agree with you Joel from having watched them play all season and seeing the others when they've gone up against us. Not sure how the votings gonna go though which is why I think it will be Porter or Turner. The Bears have three big games left so hopefully McFarlin and Decanay will finish strong and make their case. They have both played very well the last couple of games and seem to finally be coming out on their own.

Historically, UAA postseason awards go to the teams that win the conference(or come close). Whether or not, this should be is a separate issue.
I doubt that anyone on Emory(at 4-8) is going to win a postseason award.

So are you putting Decanay higher on the list?
And then not considering Roll at all?
The CMU team is built around her.
McFarlin's stats aren't that high although she is efficient and a solid defender. Decanay is a great point guard who definately fulfills her role.
Porter is my leading candidate so far.
These three games will definately seperate the pack.

Newcomer of the Year award seems to be an exception though. I can't remember last years winner but Chicago players got it the three years prior I believe. So maybe Turner is a bit far out with Emory not being in the title mix but Porter probably will get a good look. I personally think Dacanay should get it but I am biased by having watched her play alot more games that Porter.

In case anyone was wondering what happened to me, I got back to Boston on Monday afternoon after spending the night in the baggage claim area of Philadelphia Airport due to my connecting flight being cancelled because of the blizzard-- I have just mailed my claim to my travel insurance company (Access America) for reimbursement for the meals that I ate at Philadelphia during the delay.
Brandeis also got back on Monday after spending Sunday night in Pittsburgh, so no practice time was lost this week.
I am enjoying this discussion after who should get Newcomer of the Year in UAA women's basketball-- this is more interesting than talking about Mr. Holgash and the Pittsburgh turtle races. (which, for some reason, Bob DeMartino wanted me to bring up-- I don't know why.) :)
Although Lauren Orlando of Brandeis has made some significant contributions for the Judges lately-- especially her second half performance at Rochester on Friday, the Newcomer of the Year race seems to be boiling down to Alex Porter of Rochester, Lora Turner of Emory, and Shanna Lei-Dacanay of Wash U, in my opinion.
Based on how these three players have performed against Brandeis, (and I have seen all 3 in person), as well as their UAA performance stat lines, here how I would rank them right now:
1.) Shanna Lei-Dacanay, Wash U.
2.) Lora Turner, Emory
3.) Alex Porter, Rochester.
In the game where Brandeis played at Wash U, Dacanay performed like she should have started the game instead of Sarah Schell. In addition to her offensive production in that particular game, Dacanay played very well on defense against Amanda DeMartino.

Allen,
Glad to hear you made it back. It's nice to see your neutral analysis of this subject and I thought it was very well thought out.

Jagluski--
I will be able to see Dacanay on Friday at Auerbach Arena, and you will be able to check Dacanay out at Coles Center on Sunday. Her performance this weekend will go a long way toward whether she seals Newcomer of the Year, or whether this will be a closer ballot.

You're definitely correct(although I may not be going Sunday), but this weekend will allow her to have a chance to make it a runaway with 2 good performances against teams 2,T3(as of now) or potentially make it close/take herself out of the running.

2nd Rankings are out and Maryville is still number 1. I certainly would hope this will change before the end. Currently Maryville's RQoWI is 10.25 by my latest calculations and the best they can possibly finish with is 9.93(it will fall even further in their conference tournament). That wouldn't even be good enough to get a sniff at a Pool C bid so how is it good enough to be number 1 in the region? I would also expect a slide by Wheaton next week after Milikin's upset win at Wheaton last night.

Rochester is still #1 in the East-- so Friday is Case's last chance to knock off a ranked team (something they haven't done all year, though they've come close). That is, unless Emory can move up into the regional rankings next week.
All of Case's remaining games are at home, so they'll all be braodcast on the 'Net.

Maryville's QoWI according to Pat on the Pool C board is 10. It doesn't matter if it's good enough to get a Pool C bid because if they win their lousy conference(and I see no way they wouldn't), they're automatically in.

Yeah the game could go either way.x
Could be a great game...Wash U riding the emotional high of winning at Brandeis, or fighting to clinch after losing at Brandeis.....or could be a bad game... Wash U. being emotionally drained from the Brandeis game or unconsciously content at winning the conference at Brandeis.

On the subject of the Maryville game, note who was fouled out.
http://bearsports.wustl.edu/womensbball/WU-MUW.HTM
The only two who were successful at scoring that night.
Most uneven officiating I've ever seen, and the Maryville fans are the worst I've ever experienced. Not sour grapes, just my personal observations.
The same thing doesn't apply to the NYU game, where the team was even faster than WU, or at least played that way that game.

I remember saying something similar after the loss to Trinity.
I can only hope that Manning at least gets a Final Four trip to end her career, and I get an excuse to go watch Fischer, Rodgers and Fahey receive their plaques or whatever is being presented.
I single out Manning, because I do think she's the best all around player the Bears have ever had. I loved watching Fischer and Rodgers, and they were definitely better at a number of skills, but they never shot three pointers on top of it all.
She does have a rather low FG percentage reflecting a high percentage of three pointers and other outside shots, but she has shown signs that if they hadn't had Hutchens and Beehler and Parker and others, she could have developed more of a low post game.

Yep...7 of 8 years running that the Bears are either champion or lost to the eventual champion. And the other year(my senior year), Wash U lost at UWSP, who lost in either the Final Four or title game, I forget which.
If the Bears end up in Springfield for the Final Four, I'll probably see you there, Mark.

Why, thank you! :) A win at NYU would be huge this Sunday, even though the conference race is over. It is now impossible for the Bears QoWI to fall significantly(a loss on Sunday would give them 15+7=11 per game for the weekend and before the weekend it was 11.063). If they win; however, the QoWI will increase and could lend more credence to the argument that Wash U should be #1 in the Central Region ahead of Maryville.

Sunday's game(Wash U-NYU) is now even bigger for NYU.
Chicago goes into NYU tonight and wins 61-56. It's hard to believe this NYU team we've seen recently that has been losing at home etc... is the same one that went into St. Louis earlier this year and won.
At this point, the UAA could be in danger of only 2 teams in the NCAA(Wash U and Brandeis), especially with NYU still playing Wash U and Brandeis.

Just some quick things this morning:
1.) I have found it appropriate to start my LiveJournal blog to vent out my personal feelings on games, trips, and other stuff-- I have just put up an entry there relating to Wash U and the game from last night-- if you want to read it, my new blog link is:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/shinji7161
(Yeah, I am also an anime/manga fan in the off-season.)
2.) Shanna Lei-Dacanay is my pick for UAA Newcomer of the Year for women's hoop. 11 points and 4 assists at Auerbach Arena to help the Bears clinch the UAA title speaks for itself.
3.) I will be back up on my feet for Sunday's game against Chicago. Brandeis needs at least another win to secure itself a Pool C invite-- after that, it is up to the NCAA to decide where Brandeis goes. I hope that the Judges win both of their remaining home games-- I don't want my final memory of this Judges team to be from last night.
4.) Congrats to Emory on securing themselves a winning season on the in-region percentage last night. Case can do tbe same on Sunday if they beat Carnegie Mellon.

Getting back to the Wash U-Maryville issue from a while ago(because I just remembered something)...
Remember that the NCAA changed their format this year. While there are 8, 8 team regionals technically, remember that:
There will be 16 four-team regionals(i.e. Wash U and Maryville as #1/#2 in the Central could each host one of those).
The next weekend, there will be 4 four-team regionals(so the two winners from each of two regionals). I don't know if Maryville has the gym to host this, but regardless, it could potentially be played in the other regional anyway.
So the difference between #1/#2(aside from pride) may not actually matter this year.
Remember that the NCAA changed their format this year. While there are 8, 8 team regionals technically, remember that:
There will be 16 four-team regionals(i.e. Wash U and Maryville as #1/#2 in the Central could each host one of those).

Been following Brandeis boxes, figuring USM would see them along the way in NCAA's, Allen, you can't win games when you are constantly getting out rebounded and players shoot 6-21. Seems since Brandeis got into Conference play they don't rebound, I thought they were pretty big when I saw them at NYU. Maybe that non conference schedule is telling.

Allen,
In response to your journal, I think it would definitely be fitting for Coach Fahey/Wash U to make the Final Four in this 25th anniversary season. They are, arguably, one of the top 2-3 programs in D3 Hoops over this time period. I wonder if this becomes a motivating point for the team as the season goes on. It would also be nice to get to see Kelly Manning have a shot at a title in her last year.
And now that they're done with the Bears, I'll be pulling for Brandeis the rest of the way to give the UAA another strong team in the NCAA. I was impressed with Brandeis last night and they stuck right with Wash U for 35 minutes; they just seemed to get a little bit flustered at the end. And having a home gym, but no home crowd is a recipe for disaster(this is how the Wash U men lost to IWU in the tourney in 1999 with their best team ever).
Hopefully, we meet again in Springfield.

Yes, you can't win games when your best players shoot 6-21. Caitlin Malcolm had a bad night. It happens to everyone. And I bet it doesn't happen again on Sunday; I bet she has a huge game.
And you can't win games constantly getting outrebounded? Would you believe that before last night, in their last 4 games, Wash U was outrebounded by their opponent. And what was their record? Oh yeah, 4-0, winning by an average of over 17 points a game.

On winning while getting outrebounded-- I'll never forget the first time Case played Wilmington a few years ago. Wilmington had 55 rebounds compared to Case's 30, but Case still won the game (105-91, the highest-scoring women's game in school history) because they shot the ball well and forced a lot more turnovers than they gave up. That game was on the road, but it was during Thanksgiving break, so the Quaker Crazies were not in attendance. I guess that's also an example of home court without the home crowd being disastrous.
Case can move back to .500 (and a winning record in-region) if they beat Carnegie Mellon, who I hope doesn't do the same thing this year that Brandeis did to Case in '01-- (credit Carol Simon from turning a 1-14 team into a perennial league title contender in five years). The last four times Case has played CMU in Cleveland, the Lady Spartans have won by an average of 30 points, but victory is never a sure thing, and you'd hate to be the team that breaks a 45-game losing streak.
Also, I'm not sure what their QoWI is, but I think Rochester may have to beat Emory to keep their tournament hopes alive. They do have six losses in-region already, but they'll probably still be ranked highly in the region.

Sandman--
I did an updated calculation on the Rochester QoWI, and as of this morning, my calculation has the Rochester QoWI at 10.909 after last night's games.
I am worried about the regional percentage of Rochester at 16-6 (.727). The best that Rochester can attain is a .750 winning percentage if the Yellowjackets can win their last 2 games. If that happens, then Rochester may get in "on the bubble" as a Pool C. NYU is clearly the one team whose "bubble" may end up bursting at the moment right now. Between Rochester and NYU, Rochester would get a Pool C before NYU right now based on the head to head if the two teams are battling for the last Pool C.
Rochester is 4-4 (.500) vs. regionally ranked opponents this week. (It is no longer once regionally ranked, always regionally ranked.)
Rochester has beaten William Smith, NYU (twice), and St. John Fisher. Rochester has lost to Wash U (twice) and Brandeis (twice).

Malcolm just got straight D'd up... Maybe she didn't shoot well from the three point line, but the zone D of Wash in the second half was phenomenal. Sunday they play Chicago that has no true post D to stop her.

Final Score
#3 Wash U 66, #20 NYU 54
With the win, Wash U moves to 22-2(12-1) on the season. Wash U sweeps the Brandeis/NYU road trip and will travel to Chicago to close the UAA season next weekend. NYU has now lost 4 of 5 and travels to Brandeis next week.
Shanna Lei-Dacanay had another big game for the Bears and probably locked up the UAA Newcomer of the Year award today.
Off the NYU website, I know it hasn't happened since at least 2002-2003, but I bet it has been much longer. When was the last time NYU lost both games of a home UAA weekend?

That's a good question. In '01-'02, NYU went 7-7 in the UAA, but most of their losses were on the road. We have to consider what pair of traveling partners could have beaten the Violets consecutively. Case has only one win at Coles (in 2002) and NYU beat Emory at home that year. I can't remember Rochester and CMU both being strong (or CMU and Emory, who were traveling partners through 2001) at the same time, so it may have been Wash U and Chicago like it was this week.
At the start of the second half, Case leads Carnegie Mellon, 40-23.

With the two wins by Wash U it will be very interesting to see ranwhere the regional kings puts them this week. The committee is definitely running the risk of losing it's credibility if it leaves Maryville at the top spot with Wash U now 5-2 against regionally ranked opponents with Maryville only having one regional game against an above .600 team. If they leave Maryville in first, they are essentially sending the message to coaches that they will be rewarded if they play a very weak schedule and only play one quality team each year and get an upset. Let's hope that isn't the message they are trying to send. Guess we will see on Wed.

The Bears looked very good today. The forwards can pass, the guards can shoot and rebound (even though they are small) and everyone plays defense. Vintage Central region ball.
The only thing that would worry me a little as a Wash U. fan is Manning's health. She kept reaching down at her left knee near the end of the game. I'm not sure if it was bothering her or just a subconcious thing, but she's obviously a key part of their future success.
And a great environment as always at the Cole Center. They have a great mascot, the best pep band I've ever seen, a top notch facility and great media support. Now if we can just work on that NYC traffic :)

I will be in Cleveland for the Case-Emory game today, so I won't be able to give updates, but I'll provide a recap when I get back.
Today, I'll root for whatever combination of teams results in the most teams making the NCAA tournament, which means (sorry Allen, but I think your Judges are safe) that I've got to pull for NYU, since they'll probably not make it if they lose. Rochester also needs to win; Chicago is most likely out.

Sandman--
From a Brandeis fan's perspective, this game against NYU is to try to get payback against the Violets for what happened in New York earlier this season, plus a chance for Brandeis to host a regional "pod" next weekend with a victory. Brandeis might still host even with a loss, but a win would boost Brandeis's case for hosting next weekend. I am surely glad that Brandeis defeated Chicago last Sunday to secure their "Pool C.", and I would rather be home next weekend than have to play in Maine next weekend-- but I will go wherever the NCAA sends Brandeis.
NYU needs this game to secure a "Pool C" invite, and I do have some mixed feelings about this game. NYU should have secured their invite before coming to Auerbach Arena, because Brandieis is not going to make it easy on them-- on the other hand, if the human factor could play into it, and if the primary criteria had not to be strictly followed, there are 5 UAA teams (Wash U, Rochester, Brandeis, Chicago, and NYU) who are NCAA tournament worthy. Only 4 of those teams will get in at most.
So, I really don't care if the rest of the conference is pulling for NYU today, I want to beat them for what happened earlier this season.

#3 Wash U 87, Chicago 77
In a fitting ending to their regular-season careers, the Bears were led today by their 3 seniors, who scored 70 of their 87 points, as they finish the regular season 23-2(13-1).
Kelly Manning led the Bears with 39 points, which is her career-high as well as an all-time UAA record for single game scoring. That's a pretty special final regular-season game in my book(and I'm also wondering if she'll have a shot at 1st team All-America...I would feel pretty safe saying she will again be UAA player of the year). Danielle Beehler closes out her career with yet another double-double: 20 points and 12 rebounds. Katie Benson had 11 points and 6 rebounds.
After Chicago was trailing most of the second half in double digits, they made a big run late and were within 4 multiple times with a couple minutes to play, but they could never get any closer. They were led by Nofi Mojidi's 26 points.
While the rest of the UAA awaits the selections around 10pm tomorrow night, the Bears are the only team who know they are definitely in the tournament. They await the pairings announcement at 8am Monday morning to find out who/where they will be playing. Good luck to the Bears on their Road to Springfield!

Brandeis 67, NYU 62
It looks like NYU is really going to have to sweat it out.

Case ends the season with a four-game winning streak, as the seniors who played their last game end up going 6-8 in the UAA all four years. The Lady Spartans beat Emory, 65-46, in a game that was somewhat of a blowout.
Case held Emory to two points in the first eight minutes and 13 in the first half; yet, their turnovers still allowed Emory to have a reasonable chance to come back. However, Case then opened up a 47-22 lead with 13 minutes to go, and the outcome was no longer in doubt. High scorers for the Lady Spartans were Dana Dempsey with 17, Andrea Haylett with 14, and Amber Hammell with 13; she finishes #10 on the all-time scoring list with 910 points.
This game was Case's 12th straight victory over Emory dating back to when I was a freshman. To keep the streak alive, Case has had to overcome some unusual obstacles or statistical anomalies:
2003: Trailed by 16 points in the second half
2004: Shot 21% from the field
2005: Trailed by nine with a minute to go (won in OT)
2006: Committed 22 turnovers
And the streak still stands. This was the fewest points Case had allowed all year, and the fewest in a half that I can remember. Most importantly, Case finishes the year at 13-12 for their first winning season since '02-'03 and fourth in six years.

Whologins--
Jagluski is right-- is this a bad joke?
After NYU won 2 consecutive times at Coles over Brandeis-- the first time on Senior Day on the final day of the season last year that denied Brandeis the UAA's automatic bid by giving it to Wash U (did Wash U ever thank you last year for helping them out?), and this season by 2 at Coles Center in January, (and Brandeis had a shot to win down there despite all the adversity-- it took an incredible play by Rochetti to beat Brandeis), there was no way that Brandeis was going to let NYU come into the Auerbach Arena and walk away with a victory yesterday.
You know what they say about payback, although I do give you credit, your team gave it their best shot, but it was simply not good enough yesterday.
And on another note, Kelly Manning of Wash U just took the single game UAA women's basketball scoring record away from NYU alum Marsha Harris yesterday-- answering any questions about her health and her knee in the process. Kelly Manning scored 39 points against Chicago yesterday, beating Marsha Harris's old UAA record of 37 pts. scored in a conference game. Congrats to Kelly Manning-- I think she gets UAA player of the year over a strong challenge from Wash U teammate Danielle Beehler.

Allen, we've even yet to mention the fact that:
1) NYU has now lost 5 of 6 games, not exactly a strong finish to get into the tourney
2) As seen on the Pool C board, NYU isn't even in the Top 40 nationwide among Pool C contenders in regional winning percentage
I would love to see as many UAA teams as possible in the tournament, but I think it's going to be tough to get more than 2, whereas earlier in the season, there could have been 4 or 5. The worst part of this is that I think the 3rd and 4th teams are good enough to get into the tourney, but neither one has played too strongly as of late.
Wash U and Brandeis are locks. Rochester is squarely on the bubble, while I think NYU will be on the outside looking in. At least they can win another ECAC title.

I hope everybody had a good time listening in to the conference title games this afternoon while waiting for the 10 PM Eastern time announcement tonight of the rest of the NCAA selections.
The final 5 automatic bids today on the women's side, to recap, went to DePauw, McMurry, Bowdoin, Springfield, and Muhlenberg-- in case you are just reading this now. Some very exciting games in those 5 title matchups.
Pairings come out tomorrow at 8 AM Eastern time.

I just saw the D3hoops.com "bracketologists"'s projection of the field.
From previous experience, the actual selections at 10 PM will only differ from the projections by about a team or two.
From the projections, it looks like the UAA will send 3 teams in when the rest of the field is announced later tonight. Brandeis and Rochester look to be securely in as Pool C's, as the projections indicate that the UAA would have sent 3 teams in even if the field had not expanded to 63 teams this season. (Brandeis and Rochester are in the top 7 of the projected Pool Cs according to this year's projections, with Brandeis coming in with the 3rd projected Pool C bid, and Rochester coming in on the 7th projected Pool C bid.)

The UAA gets four bids to the NCAA Tournament. All four of these teams now wait until tomorrow morning to see who/where they will be playing.
Pool A
Washington University in St. Louis
Pool C
Brandeis
New York University
Rochester
Congratulations to all four teams and good luck in the tournament!

Well, the official selections are in, and they were different by at least one team.
NYU made it in, probably on the final Pool C bid.
The bubble burst for Illinois Wesleyan instead.
It is now official-- the UAA has claimed 3 Pool C bids.
Wash U-- UAA automatic qualifier.
Brandeis-- Pool C selection
Rochester-- Pool C selection
NYU-- Pool C selection.
Congratulations to NYU on getting a reprieve from the national committee and getting selected to the Big Dance.
As for my team, Brandeis, it is time to start preparing for Friday. I hope Brandeis gets to host-- but if not, I will travel to wherever Brandeis gets sent.

It is about time the pool expanded to 63 teams. Now the UAA and the NESCAC can get the 4 teams in that they deserve and get to play in the real deal and not have to win the ECAC final scoring 92 points in the first 28 mins. I feel bad the for the teams in the previous years that have had to miss out on a bid because there were only 7 to be had and play in one of these 2 conferces where only having 2-3 losses is EXTREMELY hard to do. All I have to say to the other teams is WATCH OUT!! GO UAA

100% agreed. And while not possible(since NYU and Rochester will probably be in the same region), it would be nice to have a all-UAA Final Four. Of course, the NESCAC is probably saying the same thing.
As I hope everyone in the UAA is(with the exception of replace Wash U with your team), I'll be rooting for all four teams in the tourney, that is, until(if) they run into my Wash U Bears.

Well, at least one of my pre-season predictions came true: the UAA got four teams in the tourney... and Case finished fifth-- not too shabby. I was surprised to see NYU get in after losing their last four, but I'm definitely not complaining.
So Brandeis makes their first ever tournament appearance, which means that every UAA team has gone at least once to the tourney (Case went once in 2002, Emory last made it in 1997 or 98, Carnegie Mellon last went in 1991 or 92, and Chicago last went in 1989-- someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
And Case extends another streak-- in each of the last six years, they've beaten at least one team who made the NCAA Tournament:
00-01: Baldwin-Wallace
01-02: Ohio Wesleyan, Baldwin-Wallace, Mt. St. Mary
02-03: Wilmington
03-04: Rochester
04-05: Baldwin-Wallace
05-06: Rochester
Good luck to all four UAA teams in the tournament. Do our conference proud!

I know that the bracket has yet to come out, and that the bracket, when it does come out, probably won't have these matches in the first weekend, but I would love to see these matches in the first weekend.
First round: NYU v Marymount-- so that Bill Finney can get the match that coach Janice Quinn backed out of last November-- she first accepted an invite to the Marymount Tournament, but backed out of it in order that she could play Brockport and SUNY-Farmingdale instead.
or
Second round: NYU v. Mary Washington-- NYU takes on another Capital Athletic Conference foe that regularly plays against Bill Finney's Marymount squad, and Mary Washington could prove themselves against a UAA team.
Don't get me wrong, best of luck to all UAA teams in the tournament, but the Marymojjnt coach suffered an egregious wrong last November and deserves to be remedied.

As for Wash U...
It looks like they were moved out of region into the Great Lakes Region, which is a good decision by the committee in my book(to avoid the DePauw rematch until the Elite 8---DePauw's one loss this year was their second game of the season at Wash U). The interesting thing about this is that they-WU are still hosting.
Wash U hosts Manchester(IN). The winner of that game plays the winner of Carroll(Wis.) and Calvin.
Looking ahead in the Bears' quadrant. The 2nd Round match on the other side could feature Hope/Capital. There is a poential for a 3rd round Hope-Calvin game(MIAA rivalry) or Wash U-Capital game, which would feature two of the best individual players in D3; Kelly Manning and Sara Heitkamp. And of course, in the Elite 8, there could be the DePauw-Wash U rematch.
Wash U's octet is tough, but at least they get to play the first weekend in St. Louis. From the last D3Hoops.com poll, it has #3 Wash U, #14 Calvin, #7 Hope, #11 Capital. Carroll received votes.

Off topic a bit now, but I just saw Fahey being quoted that Manning is the best small forward she's ever coached. So that would make the All-Time team be: Fischer - center, Rodgers, power forward, Manning - small forward....and what?
On the basis of the W Hall of Fame and All-UAA selections, I guess
Sarah Goldman still rates best point guard and Amy Schweizer as best scoring guard, though Crowley was one heck of a scoring force for a couple of years.
Anybody else have any input?

I loved Laura Crowley, but no way is she the best 2 guard. She was one of the streakiest shooters I have ever seen...she could make 7 3's in a row and then miss 30 in a row. And when she was missing shots, she didn't help the team too.
Wash U has had some pretty good point guards in the last 5-6 years, if you consider point guards who don't look to score at all. If we're coming up with a total team, I think Lesley Hawley has to be considered as well.

Sorry to break the old school mood, but does the UAA ever give co-poy? and then obviously i am thinking both Kelly Manning and Danielle Beehler to stay with that Wash U convo that was going...

If both Kelly Manning and Danielle Beehler end up tied in the vote for Player of the Year by the people who vote on this, they will be named Co-Players of the Year.
Last year, Brandeis's coaching staff and Wash U's coaching staff ended up tied in the vote for Coaching Staff of the Year, so they shared the title.

According to the UAA Code of Conduct:
1.) The voting is done by the 8 head coaches of the UAA women's basketball teams.
2.) Each head coach can nominate 1 player for consideration for Player of the Year. The nominee can be from his/her own team, or from another team.
3.) The UAA office in Rochester, NY will then compile the nominees and send out the ballots.
4.) Each head coach can rank up to three players on his/her ballot for Player of the Year. (First choice, second choice, third choice.)
5.) In the voting process, a head coach cannot vote for a player on his/her own team for Player of the Year (i.e. Wash U coach Nancy Fahey cannot vote for Manning or Beehler on her ballot.)
6.) Points get assigned for each ranking, and the player with the highest number of points at the end of voting gets the award. If there is a tie on points, Co-Players of the Year will be declared.

Good point on Crowley. As far as Hawley is concerned, she only made honorable mention her junior year, but she did make first team her senior year which no guard but Goldman, Schweizer, or drum roll..Manning has ever done. Strange that Fahey declares her the best small forward but she's been first team All-UAA each year as a guard, but then she's always had multi-skilled game. Since she'll undoubtably be first team this year, that makes her the first four time first team All-UAA player the school has had, Schweizer having been honorable mention her junior year.
As far as point guards who don't look to score at all, Schell is probably going to break Goldman's assist record (but she doesn't seem to steal the ball all that much) and Dacanay may blow them all away if she builds on the glimpses I've seen this year.
BTW, the four championship teams got no more than four players on the three All-UAA teams but it's been six, six, four, five players since. Did the UAA expand the teams or were they just feeling more generous?

No offense to Hawley, but she was difficult to watch at times. Bringing the ball past half court versus heavy 3/4 D tended to fluster her- a lot. Once in the set she was great, but until then she was not always consistant. I can offer no love in regards to the all-time team as I have only been a fan since 2000. My wife played on the first two title teams, so maybe I will pick her brain.
I am excited for this weekend. Playoff atmosphere is always good at wustl.

I think you're right that Dacanay could turn in to the best point guard Wash U has ever had. She was Hawaii player of the year last year and a McDonalds All-American semifinalist. I wonder how many of those Wash U has had.
I think Kelly Manning is really a shooting guard(which is probably why Coach Fahey refers to her as one), but she is forced to play the small forward based on the lineup that the team puts out there/her height. If we look at this year's starting 5, it's probably a three guard offense(Benson, Schell, Manning), but if one has to be moved to guard a forward, it's Kelly Manning. It's like a Paul Pierce thing...a shooting guard in a small forward's body and he plays the 3 even though he is probably best suited as a 2.
And not to beat this to death, but Lesley Hawley was my year at Wash U and she improved more from sophomore to junior and especially junior to senior years than any player I remember.

Great Paul Pierce analogy. Remember Kelly Manning is 5'11", skinny as a rail, but tall and lanky. Kelly may have the power foward, Danielle Beehler beat on height. Its like distinguishing Taryn Mellody of Scranton into a position. Manning will occassionally post a smaller guard and spin and elevate quickly.
On the other hand, maybe Coach Fahey did not know how to distinguish the play of Manning without comparing her to the great guards of Wash U. basketball. So by categorizing her as a small forawrd she avoids comparisons to any recently graduated guards etc. It was a great politically correct statement.

Visiting from the SCIAC Men's board. I am living in St. Louis now and will be going to the games Friday/Saturday at Wash U. Any idea if tickets go on sale before the 3:45pm Friday time posted on the wustl website?
My job has me at GWB from 2-4, so hopefully I can just walk over from there, right? Or, will parking be more open by the AC?

I graduated in '04, but my guess to your first question is no. And I would just walk from GWB...the parking lot at the AC is crowded, plus I think you need some permit to park there, which if you don't have, can get your car a nice ticket

Thanks for the tip. I have gotten quite a few tickets at Wash U, though I don't think they chase cars that are not registered. I could be wrong. But, I will walk from GWB.
Also, what's capacity, should I be worried about ticket availability?

I told my wife about the discussion ongoing regarding the all-time wustl lady bears team. She said the best point guard she ever played with (she did not play competatively with her, as she graduated the year before my wife arrived, but they played a lot of 'pick-up') was Sarah Goldman, at least I think that was her name. Was the PG of the 1994 Final Four team.
If the first game is @5PM on Friday, I would assume tix MUST go on sale at 3:45. Some people like to arrive a tad bit early.

Thanks for all the tips re: tickets. Yes, the website says tickets go on sale at 3:45pm, I was just wondering if there would be a pre-sale during the week.
The way they do it at Oxy (well, not much precedent since we've only been in '03 and now '06) is that they sell tickets on-campus throughout the week of the game. I live 5 mins from the Wash U campus and would have liked to buy tickets earlier so that I don't have to rush/leave my meeting early on Friday afternoon.
Thanks. I'll be watching Friday.

While the subject of guards for the all-time WashU team is still being kicked around, I might vote for someone not yet mentioned: Sue Tucker. She played on three of the NCAA D3 championship teams, and was IMHO a bigger part of their success than she seemed to be given credit for. She was not particularly flashy, and didn't score much (or need to) with Fischer around. But Tucker was tough as nails, took care of the ball, and had a really, really high "basketball IQ", even among point guards. The 2 guard could be debated as well, but I'd vote for Amy Schweitzer. It's hard argue with Fischer, Rodgers and Manning to round out the team.

Bowdoin survives what is probably one of the scariest home games they have had throughout their long home winning streak, winning their 70th home game in a row. Brandeis did themselves proud, losing in the 2nd round of the tournament solely because of the tough matchup/site they drew. They had the talent to go much further, which they certainly showed tonight.
Bowdoin knocks off Brandeis 59-56 as Jamie Capra's 3 point shot at the buzzer rolled around the rim and out.
2 UAA teams left in the tourney; Wash U and Rochester.

Final Score
Wash U 78, Carroll(Wis.) 66
The Bears survive against Carroll College to advance to the Sweet 16 next weekend at a site to be determined tomorrow afternoon. They will play #6 Hope College. Carroll College played one heck of a game, battling the Bears throughout. The game was definitely much closer than the score indicates and the Bears will have to play much better next weekend if they want to advance. While the Bears led the game during the entire second half, it was within 7 points the entire way until the Bears made the deciding run with about 6 minutes to go. Kelly Manning led the Bears with 32 points and Sarah Schell had a great game as well. The Pioneers were led by the clutch shooting of Krista Rode.
They say that to win a tournament, you have to survive one game where you don't play your best. Hopefully, this game is that game that the Bears survived on the road to Springfield.
Rochester defeats Medaille 57-44 and will play #2 Scranton next Friday night. The UAA gets 2 teams in the Sweet 16.

It was a really good season for Brandeis and it was a sad way to come to the end...but a great effort, nonetheless.
It was an amazing game--one of the best I've ever seen in person--and a pleasure to get the opportunity to do play-by-play for.
Bowdoin took the early lead (12-2) and seemed to never look back. Brandeis kept on chipping away but never seemed to be able to tie it (I think they had at least 10 possessions in this game where they had a chance to tie with a basket). Then, with 1:30 left in the game, Allison Chase hit a 3 to tie it up and the place went ballistic.
I've never been in a DIII atmosphere like that but it was great. For that last 1:30 no one sat, no one stopped cheering. The only unfortunate thing is that Brandeis couldn't keep it tied and forced OT.
I think that it was a great showing for Brandeis...they were able to "hang with the Maine crowd". Again, I'm not sure why two teams this good were playing in the second round of the tournament...but I digress.
We usually have a listernship cap of about 25 people. For this weekend I increased the online listernship to a couple of hundred people and both days we maxed out which is an amazing accomplishment for our small radio station, WBRS. I hope all of you that listened in enjoyed it and if you enjoyed anything or have any suggestions of change, please e-mail me at sports@wbrs.org
I never thought I would go to college and be this into DIII Women's Basketball...but at the end of the broadcast I couldn't sign off for one last time...
It really was an amazing experience and I can't wait to come back as an alumnus and see this Brandeis team continue to improve

Me too. It was funny...I was at the Bulls-Knicks game on Friday night. Yes, both teams are terrible, but I'm a lifelong Bulls fan from growing up in Chicago and it's one of 3 games I'll go to in person this year. I was more interested in the Wash U-Manchester score on my cell phone than the Bulls game in person.
And, WBRSSports...I was listening to the game on my computer here in NYC Saturday night. I must say that I enjoyed your coverage...thank you for bringing high-quality game coverage to us.

Very nice weekend for the lady bears. The short of the news could be all about Manning- she was unstoppable both nights. The long of it would have to highlight the hard work of Beehler, the redemption Sat Night of Rebecca Parker, and the clutch shooting of Sarah Schell. Schell made all of the difference vs the match-up zone, she found the holes brilliantly and made shots. Carroll was definately game, but they did not have enough shots in them to win.
Anyone going next weekend? Not that far too drive. I will not be going, but a listening party (NWC football style) will be taking place at my pad.

Definately going to the Hope game. Less than a four hour drive on I-70. Too easy. Thank goodness its not in Michigan.

Safe drive to everyone travelling to games this weekend. Did anyone catch the nice story on KSDK about the lady bears? Basically your typical "its about the journey not the destination" piece, but still it was nice to hear comments from Coach Fahey, Manning, and Beehler.
I am curious as to what the atmosphere will be like at the 5PM game tomorrow. Dead? Or possibly not.
Good luck to the team. I have a good feeling.

At the half...
#6 Hope 55, #3 Wash U 45
The first half has been a half of runs. Hope took a 37-18 lead and Wash U rallied back to tie the game at 43 with 3 minutes left in the half. Wash U then started to turn the ball over and foul and Hope ended the half on a 12-2 run to take a 55-45 lead.
The Bears have been a second half team all year...let's hope(no pun intended) it continues.

Wash U battled back in the 2nd half to take a 1 point lead and then Hope stretched the lead back to 10. The Bears rallied again and Kelly Manning had a 3-pt attempt with less than a minute left to give the Bears the lead. It missed. Brea Ebels of Hope went back down and made a jumper to push the lead back to 4.
Congratulations to the Bears for a great season and to Kelly Manning, Danielle Beehler, and Katie Benson for great careers. It's too bad the Bears couldn't get Coach Fahey back to the Final Four.

Jessie Graham made 6 more 3's tonight for Rochester making a total of 20 for the tournament, two short of the all time record, ironcially held by Stacey Liebs(spelling?) of Wash U in 5 games. Graham only had 3 games.
Nonetheless, Rochester fell to Scranton 66-63. They were down 63-56 with a minute to go and Taryn Mellody of Scranton(83% on the year) missed two straight front ends. Jessie Graham made a 3 and a 2 to cut the deficit to two. Mellody was fouled again and made both free throws. Rochester went down and scored and then Allison Matt was fouled with 9 seconds left. She missed the first, made the second. Danielle Muller missed a three at the buzzer.
The UAA season is over.

Jagluski--
To be helpful, the Wash U player that you are referring to that has the 22 3 pointers made for the DIII tournament is Stacy Leeds. Going into this season, she was #3 on the Wash U list in 3 point FG percentage (minimum 50 3's made for career) at .395. Stacy Leeds was #2 on the Wash U list at 3 point FGs made going into this season at 143-- just 16 behind Laura Crowley.

The NY Times recently published an article on heckling at college basketball games. Someone submitted this letter to the editor in response:
"The ugly treatment of players at Division I basketball games has seeped down into Division III. I attend women's games at N.Y.U. For the first few years, the games were fun. The season N.Y.U. won the national championship was exhilarating. But the feeling in the gym has gotten uglier. Instead of just rooting for N.Y.U., some fans have started taunting opponents."

If any of you reading this are going to Springfield this weekend to check out the action as fans of DIII women's hoop, I will be heading out from Boston Friday morning (probably on the 8 AM Peter Pan Bus run to Springfield-- arriving in Springfield just after 10 AM) to catch the action for both Friday and Saturday. (Part of the benefit of having these games so close to where I live for this season and next.) To Mark Simon, John McGraw, and Gordon Mann, I will make sure to stop by and say hello to you.

Does anybody know whether there was a ceremony for the 25th Anniversary team at Springfield and whether it was caught on any video I might be able to watch?
PS This makes the fourth year out of five that the championship team knocked the Lady Bears out before the Final Four. Perhaps unlike everybody since the 2001 Bears, Hope will return to the tournament to defend their title. And perhaps Southern Maine and Scranton will stop hosting sectionals on their way to Final Four trips.

Perhaps you might reach out to Springfield College to see what kinds of archived coverage are available.
We had Alia and Coach Fahey on during our pregame. I'm always struck by how tall Alia is every time I meet her. :)

Speaking of that ceremony which honored the 25th Anniversary team at the half-- if there was a blooper, it was corrected later on in the ceremony. The announcer announcing the team first talked about the accomplishments of the players from the 80's-- I believe that Page Lutz of Elizabethtown was mentioned first, followed by the player from Concordia-Moorehead. The announcer then went on to talk about Tasha Rodgers and her accomplishments, and then said "Our final honoree is Coach Nancy Fahey from Wash U.", and then the announcer talked about Coach Fahey's accomplishments. I thought to myself, "Uh oh, you forgot about Alia Fischer, and she is also on the court." It turned out that someone forgot to hand the announcer the sheet mentioning Fischer's accomplishments when the announcer was making the presentations. The mistake was recognized, and corrected, and Alia Fischer's accomplishments were then mentioned and the award was then presented. Each person got her award as her name was called.
In addition, I talked to Tasha Rodgers on Friday-- she is currently working in the financial industry. In addition, I was relieved to finally see Alia Fischer make it in to be honored on Saturday. I hope that I do get a chance to see them again someday-- I enjoyed my brief chats with them over the weekend.
I had a terrific time in Springfield the past few days, and I would like to give my congratulations to Hope College-- that women's basketball team clearly proved themselves to be the best team in DIII this season.

By the way, Hope fans and the Southern Maine coach are declaring this Hope team as the best Division III women's team ever.
Sure. His 2000 team gets beaten 79-33 in the Championship game with the best two players on the bench much, even most of the game and that isn't the best team ever.

Washington University or Hope. Both great teams. Saw both games. Daughter played on 2000 USM team. Went as a fan this year.
Personally I thought the Wash U team was the best I had seen. (Fischer, Rodgers, Tucker, etc.OUCH!!)
Take nothing from Hope. They were/are outstanding. Love our Huskies but in both games the better team won. No shame in losing to either. Just great basketball!!!

McKendree College, also a solid NAIA team that won their conference tournament and return their honorable mention All-American veteran. The back to back NYU games will be great and probably reflect Nancy Fahey's incredible coaching ability. Can't wait. Any other UAA schedules out?

sometimes if I'm the only offseason UAA fan. Well Janice Evans is heading to Wash. U., she led her team in points and boards -- 11pts on 49% shooting and 7.4 rebounds for an about 14-6(?) team. So not too shabby, but untested. seemingly athletic though, perhaps some eventual post depth for a WashU team losing Danielle Beehler and without a junior class.

Looks like Aaron Roussell and Molly Parrott have been doing a good job of recruiting for Chicago. Six recruits - and some size. The press release is at:
http://athletics.uchicago.edu/news0506/wbk-newcomers-060806.htm
Kaitlin Devaney (San Diego, Calif./ Scripps Ranch) was a four-time most valuable player at Scripps Ranch High School. A four-time first-team all-league selection, the 5'8" Devaney led Scripps Ranch to a 20-9 record this past season. A four-year member of the honor roll and a four-year starter, she averaged 18 points, seven rebounds, and six assists her senior year.
Jill DiNucci (Glenshaw, Pa./ Shaler Area) finished her career as the third-leading all-time scorer at Shaler Area High School with 1,387 points. The 5'11" DiNucci was a four-year starter and the 2002 Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic League Freshman of the Year. She averaged 14.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 2005-06 as Shaler Area notched a 16-7 record.
Molly Hackney (East Lansing, Mich./ Lansing Catholic) garnered all-state, all-district, and all-conference recognition in helping lead Lansing Catholic High School to the state final four twice during her four-year career. A three-year starter and an academic all-league pick, the 6'0" Hackney averaged 12.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game as a senior.
Jamie Stinson (Topeka, Kan./ Shawnee Heights) was a second-team all-state selection for Shawnee Heights High School, where she averaged 14 points, four rebounds, and three assists per game. The 5'9" Stinson, who graduated first in her class, was a three-year starter and helped lead Shawnee Heights to three top-four state finishes.
Christine Walczak (Orland Park, Ill./ Sandburg) earned all-state honorable mention accolades for Sandburg High School. The 6'1" Walczak averaged 14.2 points and 11.8 rebounds per game for Sandburg, which in 2005-06 posted a 23-12 mark and claimed regional and sectional titles. An all-area and all-conference pick, Walczak collected 22 double-doubles during her senior campaign.
Anna Woods (Bala Cynwyd, Pa./ Lower Merion) was a four-year starter at Lower Merion High School, which she helped lead to a pair of league championships. The 6'1' Woods averaged 12 points and eight rebounds per game as a senior en route to earning first-team all-league recognition. Woods served as a team captain in 2006 and was named a Scholar-Athlete in 2005.

The NCSA Collegiate Power Rankings are incredibly flawed. He uses the US News ranking within your category for academic excellence. So being first in Midwest Regional Liberal Arts Colleges is the same as first in National Liberal Arts Colleges. And how can you compare a National Research University to anything but another National Research University? By this methodology, John Carroll, #6 in Midwestern Master's Universities, is academically superior to its DIII rival, MIT, #7 in National Universities.
Also, US News rankings themselves are flawed. How can Wash U (#11) possibly be ranked ahead of UofC (#15)?

The NCSA arguments were in General Division III issues under Future of Division III where almost everyone (including myself) agrees with those "weird" rankings.
However, I do believe Wash U is a better school than U of C, but thats my completely bias opinion based on no concrete evidence. Wash U joins U of Chi as the Ivies of the midwest. But I agree those US News rankings are flawed in several ways.

Added to the Wash U roster is a tranfer from Arkansas State, Halsey Ward, a 5-8 Guard Little Rock, Ark. (Pulaski Academy). Halsey was a walk-on at Arkansas State, and barely played (7 total minutes in 3 games). I am sure that Wash. U is happy to have her. Most transfers that they have received (such as Nicky Huels) are hard workers. IMO, Ward, coming from her walk-on position, is probably a hard worker after being a practice player for a year.

Allen,
Just saw a Sunday Morning article out here about the women's recruiting class at U Chicago, looks like they have high hopes for this season and really quite a class of freshmen. Any thoughts on the upcoming season.
How's brandeis looking? Ncaa repeat? will Wash U and NYU be their usual togh selves?
Come its right around the corner

Italy seems to be the in spot this summer, although does anybody other then me think priorities are screwy when you look at the Messiah and Brandeis photo's on the home page. I mean, Messiah heads to a third world country, does charity work and community service and plays 5 games while we see Brandeis played two whole games and sent a picture from the yacht the rented.

I know Allen will think I am a traitor but, I just saw the Maroons non-conference schedule for this upcoming season and I have officially switched to become a University of Chicago fan (also the fact I thought I would only be here for 12 months which now turned into a long term position helped).
I am impressed with the Marrons schedule and the fact that they are not shying away from anyone in the non-conference part of the schedule...playing the likes of Buena Vista, Wittenburg, Kalamazoo, WI-Whitewater, Johns Hopkins and Wheaton will prepare this team for a big run and NCAA bid, whereas my old fav Brandeis continues to pick up teams that it can beat by 50, I see it lost MIT but picked up a team that is actually less competitive in Simmons.
All I can say is it looks like my Maroons will be prepared for the UAA, they have been competitve the past 2 years and this year may get over those 4 point losses to Brandeis and suprise NYU and others....
Can't wait for the GAMES TO BEGIN!

Brandeis recruiting class:
1.) Janelle Biamonte 5-8 G Secaucus, NJ (Marist HS)
(Note-- if I am wrong, correct me-- Biamonte originally was going to West Point (Army) to play basketball, but changed her mind and decided to go to Brandeis in late April, according to news accounts.)
2.) Carmela Breslin 5-7 G McKees Rocks, PA (Oakland Catholic HS-- Pittsburgh)
(Oakland Catholic was among the top 15 high school basketball teams in the country last season, according to Sports Illustrated.)
3.) Jessica Chapin 5-7 G Mendon, NY (Honeyone Falls-Lima HS)
4.) Chelsey Dionne 6-1 F Farmingdale, ME (Hall-Dale HS)
5.) Kasey Gieschen 6-1 F Boonton Township, NJ (Mountain Lakes HS)
6.) Lauren Rashford 5-6 G Whitesboro, NY (Whitesboro HS)
It is not really a tradition of Brandeis Sports Information to compile a press release detailing the high school accomplishments of their recruits, but from reading news reports via the Internet of these recruits, Coach Carol Simon has once again succeeded in building a strong recruiting class to come to Brandeis.
As for the schedule, the only real difference that I can see in the regular non-conference schedule from past seasons is that Brandeis will play 8 of their 10 non-conference games in the first semester. Tufts is the first opponent back for the Judges in the second semster before UAA play. Simmons gets placed into the schedule instead of MIT on the basis that Simmons tends to get a better overall regional record, but there does not seem to be that much difference in the caliber of opposition between Simmons and MIT. I would have preferred a tougher team in that slot like Salem State, Emmanuel, or Williams, and played any of those 3 teams in the first semester instead. The timing of the games, however, looks better than last season. Due to the physical nature of the conference once Association play starts, Brandeis will need the time in between conference games to rest and prepare for the next weekend.
Brandeis's success in the conference will depend on whether or not a combination of Kiersten Holgash (who will probably get the initial start at point guard this season), Jessica Chapin (who will probably also play minutes at point guard when Holgash needs rest), and others will prove physically and mentally tough enough to lead the team on the floor in UAA play and get the assists to Caitlin Malcolm, Jaime Capra, Lauren Orlando, and the other big forwards, but also be game-savvy enough to make the best game decisions based on how the defense shapes up on any play.
Bob DeMartino would say that the best UAA teams also tend to have the point guards who are "stocky." i.e. point guards who are both mentally and physically tough enough to lead the team on the floor. The point guards, in my view, will be the big question at Brandeis this season.
On defense, Brandeis will have to be both physically tough and mentally smart.
From a crowd perspective-- the Brandeis student body is going to be really pulling hard and focusing more on the men's basketball team and hoping for the Brandeis men to finish at or near the top of the UAA this season and go to the NCAAs, as this looks to be the year where Brandeis has a men's team very capable of accomplishing these goals. How will the Brandeis women's team react if they are not the main focus on campus this season?
I would not be surprised if Brandeis went undefeated in non-conference play and finished out of the top 4 in the UAA this season just because of the obvious difference in quality of competition between the UAA and the local portion of the schedule. (Plus, the obvious question of performance abilities of the point guards when UAA play comes around.) Chicago will look to bounce back from a season in which the Maroons did well on the road, but not so great at home in league play. Any game between Brandeis and Chicago tends to be close, and depending on how the games play out, it is not beyond the realm of possibility for either team to pull off a sweep over the other team this season.
Emory also looks to be a women's basketball team on the rise in the UAA, as the Eagles posted some big victories in Atlanta last season. Look for Emory to be tough at home this season, and it would not be surprising for Emory to pick up some significant road victories over strong teams this season.
From what I have heard from Bob DeMartino in my calls with him, he doesn't seem too impressed with the NYU women and how they will fare this season.
Despite the losses of Kelly Manning and Danielle Beehler, Wash U still has enough proven strength at the point guard position that they will once again be the team to beat in the UAA (like they are every season.)
And these are my two cents.....
PS-- After I saw Hope College's victories over Scranton and Southern Maine in Springfield last season, if anyone in Chicago decides to root for Chicago, I have no hard feelings. At my age, I understand that business is business....

Well, here is my early prediction on the basketball record for the Brandeis women's team (just based on my gut instinct).
Brandeis will go 8-6 in the UAA (My early prediciton).
(0-2 v. Wash U, will split with NYU, Chicago, Rochester, and Emory, and go 2-0 v. Case and Carnegie Mellon).
Brandeis may take an upset loss in local play due to the number of games that the Judges will be playing in the first semester-- so 9-1 in non-conf. play will be my prediciton.
Overall, I predict a 17-7 mark if everyone on the Brandeis women's team stays healthy (Brandeis does not usually have as much quality depth as other UAA teams such as Wash U, so the starters really have to stay healthy and well for this mark to be met.)
NCAA re-appearance not a slam dunk-- could be more "bubble" than last season.

On a completely different note, I just want people to clear up one thing for me before the start of the new season:
What possible argument can be made that any other team in the 25 years of the DIII Woman's tournament can be said to equal the 1999-2000 Bears team?
(Mind you I'm just talking those 25 years. The Carol Blazejowski led Montclair State College, which also didn't offer scholarships, would probably have run the Bears off the court, but I'm talking specifically the tournament era and the teams that participated in it)
I was wrong to object that Gary Fifield was saying the Hope team was superior to the 2000 Bears, because this is the quote:
"We got beat by as good a team in Division II as I've seen," said Southern Maine head coach Gary Fifield. "They're athletic, they have great size and great depth. I think they would beat a lot of Division I teams. That's as good a team as I've seen and I've been around for a few years."
I just don't see how a team that only beat your 2006 team by 13 points is as good as a team that beat your 2000 team by 46, with two members of the Division III 25th Anniversary team riding the bench for much even most of the game. Rodgers only played 14 minutes (and scored 14 points). Was the 2000 team that much crappier than the 2006 Southern Maine team? Ditto the fact that Hope barely beat the 2006 Bears by three points at DePauw in front of my eyes, and I would never say the 2006 Bears are as good as the 2000 team and I've saw both.
I would just like to know the reasoning, because I didn't get much when I objected last spring, mostly a lot of objecting to my objecting. I just don't like historical revisionism in any form. Perhaps arguing what was the best team of the past 25-26 years deserves its own topic area, especially with the just celebrated anniversary, but I thought I might be treading on thin enough ice bringing it up at all much less starting a new topic.

Perhaps arguing what was the best team of the past 25-26 years deserves its own topic area, especially with the just celebrated anniversary, but I thought I might be treading on thin enough ice bringing it up at all much less starting a new topic.

Hello all.
I am hearing some great things locally about the Maroons and the excitment about this weekends games that include other "vote getters".
I see that they didn't get much support in the Association coaches poll, but I think they may be better then last year based on what I am hearing, quality of the freshmen is high and returning guard play has been I am told "awesome". Think they can Bite Rochester, NYU, Wash U and the Judges this year? Also, just noticed that Bango received ALL AMERICAN honors last year! Wow, that is hard to believe, how the heck do they vote on that?

Hey, saw Maroons last night, they looked very good, Mofi is fun to watch. Also, saw Schell play less then a minute while starting for Wash U, hope she is ok, figure it must be an injury, any word?
Also, Noticed Brandeis and NYU had there us Tip off cream puffs. Shame on NYU for Putting up 104

The UAA was pretty impressive this weekend - with one exception. Seven teams are 2-0. Congratulations to Rochester for knocking off top ranked Scranton.
The NCAC clearly is not near the caliber of the UAA. Denison was picked to win it - and lost to Case 69-47. Wittenberg won the last two NCAC titles and was picked right behind Denison. They were also blown out by the UAA, Chicago 80-58.
What happened to the Bears? I can see losing to a tough DePauw team - ranled #3. But then losing to Central?
The UAA will be tough. Chicago was picked for fifth and Case for seventh. Could a NCAC team even win a UAA game?
It would be nice if NYU would play a atronger schedule.

It's something my Dad and I have worried about for the last two years, particularly last year. They don't have anybody who can score like Kelly Manning and Danielle Beehler, or any of the previous players that took up the offensive responsibilities. The sophomores and freshmen might contain such people but they're not there yet.
BTW, does anybody know what the Karma rating is for and why I have -5?

I might as well say it now. Is this the year that Case finally beats Wash U?
Case won a pair in Cincinnati this weekend, beating host Mt. St. Joseph in a close one (they didn't lead until the last 5 minutes) but then winning more convincingly over Denison. Freshman guard Ashleigh Tondo had a very impressive debut with 17 points and 11 rebounds, and in the second game, senior Dana Dempsey led four Lady Spartans in double figures. Tomorrow, Case has their rivalry game with #9 Baldwin-Wallace, a matchup that has produced many memorable games in recent years. B-W won the last meeting by 3 in a game that literally came down to the last shot.

I wouldn't be surprised if a number of teams beat WashU this year. One reason I'm being a bother about historical revisionism concerning the 1999-2000 team is that the present isn't likely to be pleasant.

Seems to be turning into a very interesting season within the UAA. Based on all that has happened so far, I think the UAA title may really be up for grabs for the first time in years. I also believe that wash u will come back, Fahey will get them ready for the "real' games, so this should be fun.
I will root hard for a NEW UAA Champ...Let's say, Chicago or Emory to beat out Wash U, NYU, Brandeis and Rochester

"WHITEWATER beat Luther convincingly on Saturday afternoon. The final was 82-59. After WW built a twelve point lead in the first eight minutes on an upbeat tempo and the strong inside play of Tiffany Morton and Emily Peters the Norse were able to close the gap and trailed by only three at the half 42-39. But WW dominated the second stanza quickly building the lead back to double digits behind two quick baskets by Morton and Thrisa Thrill's three-pointer and layup. The lead balloned after that as the WARHAWKS shot nearly 58% from the floor for the half. Morton took scoring honors with 15 points. She also had 7 rebounds. Peters added 12 points and Rachel Woolever 10. "
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YOU....WHO ARE AWFULLY QUIET.....IN THE UAA, BUT UC IS VERY IMPRESSIVE RIGHT NOW......CASE WIN AGAINST JOHNS HOPKINS IMPRESSIVE AS WELL.....guess we really won't know about Brandeis until they start playing SOMEBODY/ANYBODY preferably somebody with a pulse, ditto NYU, and Wash U til they get it together. Rochester is only team out of the "upper tier" that has answered questions.
Let's go little sisters...UC, Emory, Case, CMU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to be late on joining the UAA women's discussion this season, but beating a six player squad by 53 points is nothing to write home about. (and neither is winning other games by 40 points, either!) The Brandeis v. St. Lawrence game was an okay game, but I had to wait for a real test to really find out the real nature of my team. I got it last night, in a way that I least expected.
I was fortunate to be at the game at Wheaton (MA) last night for the first tough test of the season for the Brandeis Judges. Now, the early handicapping of the game did not seem to indicate that it would be a test---- okay, Wheaton did score over 70 points a game in their first two games, but it was against Wentworth (a Comm. Coast team), and Green Mountain (a provisional independent DIII team). Plus, Wheaton lost to Curry by 4 their last game out-- Curry was a team that Brandeis beat so badly enough in the two meetings between the squads not so long ago that the Curry women's team no longer wanted either 'Deis or Emmanuel on their schedule.
Wheaton did shoot over 50% in the first game of the season, but of course, that was against Wentworth-- not exactly perceived as an elite Northeast Region DIII women's basketball team. Wheaton had shot under 40% the last two previous games.
So, how did the Wheaton Lyons shoot last night? 29 of 51 from the field, for a whopping 56.9% against the Brandeis defense-- Wheaton shot almost 61% (14-23) in the first half alone. Brandeis shot about 36% (23 of 64). The 'Deis D did steal the ball 13 times, and did force Wheaton to turn the ball over a total of 24 times.
In a way, Brandeis was fortunate that the refs were calling everything tonight on a consistent basis. Initially, it did not help Brandeis, beacuse Caitlin Malcolm had to sit out most of the first half upon picking up 2 quick fouls, but the consistent calling helped Brandeis get to the free throw line 35 times. Brandeis hit 24 of 35 from the charity stripe-- Wheaton hit 11 of 13 from the stripe for the game.
Save for the turnovers and fouls, Wheaton did practically everything else right. The Lyons got to 70 points in their own gym, and in the previous 49 games when Wheaton scored 70 points or more in their own gym ,the Lyons had a 48-1 record in those situations.
Brandeis built an early 12-5 lead about 4 min. into the game, but Wheaton rallied back to take a 26-15 lead with 6:59 remaining in the first half. Brandeis rallied back to go into halftime only down 3.
In the second half, Wheaton bulit their lead to 7 early, but Brandeis rallied back to take a 58-54 lead with 9:27 to go. The game went nip and tuck for the rest of the second half.
Wheaton had a 72-68 lead with 27 seconds to go, and I felt ready to concede this game to the Lyons, but the game was still close enough for anything to happen. With 21 seconds to go, Wheaton's Bri Smith fouls Brandeis's Jessica Chapin. Chapin makes both free throws, and Brandeis is only down 2. Jaime Capra then fouls Wheaton's Becky Atchison to put her on the line. After a timeout, Becky Atchison of Wheaton misses the front end of a 1 and 1, and Amanda Wells grabs the rebound. With 7 seconds to go, Jaime Capra misses the jumper, but Amanda Wells grabs the offensibe board, puts the ball back in to tie the game, and gets fouled in the process. Wells sinks the winning free throw to complete the 3 point play.
For Brandeis, Amanda Wells scored the first four points of the game, and the last 3 points of the game.
Although Wheaton is a relatively undersized squad, I felt that when Wheaton was playing last night, the Lyons were playing a style game that I remember Emory playing in the past.
The UAA is going to be very interesting this season-- Carnegie Mellon even seems to be better than they were last year (Yes, I read the scores on the web-sites, so it is not like I have not been paying attention!)

Excuse me for stepping in, but as I have a database with all of the poll information in its history, this was an easy question for me to answer. Neither (your) Chicago nor Emory have ever had more votes in the poll than Wash U., until this week when they both do. In fact, before this week, neither school has been within 255 points of Wash U. (preseason last year, when Wash U. had 266, Chicago had 11, and Emory 0).

Yes, Mark... I would agree with you there. However, I would say that the thing WashU has done so well in the past is to replace those all-americans with people who step in immediately to replace the lost - who in turn... also become all-americans. Not to say that Wash U won't come back and get back in the top 15... but I don't think they have the calibar of players they used to. After Alia Fisher graduated, they relied heavily on Tasha Rodgers. By the time Rodgers graduated, they relied on Manning and Beehler. Last season, they relied heavily on those two players, and based off the player's returning, I'm not sure who on there team has shown they have the potential to become an all-american (granted I haven't seen this years team). Deicany (sp?) has probably shown the most potential... but???
Obviously, WashU will be okay. They had a good coaching staff, and players who don't like to lose. They'll get back to they're winning ways in due time.

Two things the current Around the Nation:
From my recollection, as I was at the game, Lake Forest hit two long shots, not just the one everyone talks about. First a heave by Lizzy Bauer to go from 75-71 WashU leading to 75-74. Then Zoe Unruh hit two free throws to make it 77-74 with 2.9 seconds remaining, then Nicole Rivera hit her now talked about heave. It might have been considerably longer than Bauer's, but Bauer's wasn't a normal length three pointer either.
So two heaves to tie the game and people wonder why I'm a negative person. Doubly so because I shouted BZZZZZZZZZZZZ right before Rivera's heave. Did it help her make up her mind to shoot then, or was she watching the clock and would have shot anyway?
The other thing was mentioning in the discussion about Hope's title defense that no champion has even gotten back to the tournament, much less won again since WashU in 2001. I mentioned that in March, just like I mentioned WashU's habit of being knocked out by the eventual champion long before any article.

My apologies then.
Could you point out where? Other than ending the 2004 Tournament preview page with "Then Southern Maine will not get a Pool C bid next season.", I don't see anything explicit. Trinity being knocked off by DePauw and not getting to defend their title is mentioned prominantly and UW-Stevens Point finally being able to defend their title is mentioned. But you have to combine those statements, and there wasn't a followup in the 2005 preview, and I can't find the 2006 preview so I don't know if it was mentioned there.
BTW, what is karma? Is my karma -6 because of posts like this? :)

I'm not sure how five posts around March 18 (three in MIAA and two here) and a few here recently constitute constant harping.
BTW, I'm not the one to originally misquote him:
***
Flying Dutch Fan
The Coach of Southern Maine was quoted as saying that this is the best DIII team he has seen in a long time, and one he feels could beat some DI teams. I agree.
***
Which is what one of my 'negative' posts on the MIAA group was responding to. The only two to follow it were responding to these:
*******
andersdy
I definitely think you'd be hard pressed to find a more difficult road any men's or women's D3 team has taken to a national title.
*********
To which I pointed out d3hoops article on the 1998 Bears run to their first title.
****
gordonmann
"We got beat as good a team as I've seen in Division III," said Southern Maine head coach Gary Fifield. "They were every good as bit as those Washington University teams."
Since I only saw one of the Wash U title teams (2001), I won't try to compare Hope with the one you raised. But I don't think you can undersell how good this Hope team was.
****
This probably constitutes harping, but I think either Fifield was being overly polite to a freshly minted champion or he's implying that his 2000 team was quite inferior to his 2006 team. Perhaps I should have brought that up with Fifield in March, but I just wanted to put it behind me at that time.
And I thought gordonmann was saying with his last sentance that no matter how good you claimed Hope was you wouldn't be wrong, but I may have been mistaken.
P.S. Just wanted to say I'm grateful for the very nice things said about those Bears teams and Fischer and Rodgers in some articles I've discovered recently (like the one talking about leadership) and in David Collinge's Top 25 posts.

As I said, my apologies. The similar statements I made in March were made without ever seeing articles like that. If I had, I wouldn't have just said recently that I was the first to say that here. Perhaps I need to make more time to read the articles, particularly those right before the tournament.
So was there any article before last March pointing out the negative trend WashU had of being knocked out by the national champ?

I would guess people were smiting you based on your continued harping on the Southern Maine coach's quote.
I'm not sure how five posts around March 18 (three in MIAA and two here) and a few here recently constitute constant harping.
I didn't say constant. I said continued.
Meanwhile, those posts live a long time. This is not an overly fast-moving board.
I don't believe we noted that trend. The only other trend I remember us noting was that Wheaton (Ill.) was the only team to beat the last two national champs during the regular season.

Allen,
I am looking forward to Johns Hopkins, I will update you on the game. You've been quiet, a friend who was at a recent doubleheader said that the Deis women never saw a shot they didn't like, he said there seemed to be a few attitudes. Association play begins soon enough, lets see who is the cream this year

Noted. I don't remember what it was before I brought the subject up again on November 15, so you may be right. I have to wonder what deiscanton's sin is because he has the same karma. Mind you, I still haven't been told how karma is determined. Is there some part of this board I'm missing?
And has Who's the Best ever discussed the best Division III team? Given their MO, it would probably a discussion of only the men's teams, but before I add the topic (if I do) I'd like to know if it's been brought up before in the one completely legitimate place to discuss 'bests'.

Just got home from a fun filled afternoon at the RAT and I have to say I am really impressed with the Maroons. They won again, beating a very good Johns Hopkins squad led by Mojidi, Leach and Schwanz who all had close to 20 points with Rapier cleaning up the boards. This is a very balanced team and unselfish. Mojidi may be the fastest player I have ever seen on the court and she must have had 5 steals. I think this could be tier year, and they have played, including this game, some quality competition so far. I would not be suprised if tey beat everyone in the conference this year at leat once. going into 2007 when Deis and NYU have to start playing some real teams will give everyone a better overview, but I expect that Wash U, Rochester and Chicago will be the top three teams tis year. Looking forward to next year!

It should make sense that she is the fastest players you have ever seen on the court since she was a UAA track champion indoors last winter. She is most likely one of the fastest girls you will see anywhere in the country playing ball.

nancy,
last year you and i think it was "snowman" did a lot of UAA vs. NESCAC talk. this year it is too early to tell but last year 4 teams made it to tourny from both leagues and the nescac was 2-0 vs. UAA opponents and fared much better than the UAA last year. in all honesty, do you have more respect for them this year as a conference?

NO! I don't think you guys are as strong as you were last year as a conference and I think this year as a conference the UAA is better although I don't think the UAA has a team as good as Wash U was last year. Also, you had 2 head to head wins but I think Brandeis would have beat Bowdoin on a neutral court last year.
I think based on what I have seen, read and heard:
Wash U may still win the conference, so they are still strong
Chicago is a step above last year and may be the best in the conference
Emory is better then last year, as is CMU, NYU and Rochester and I think Brandeis is not quite as good
I think the Polar Bears are not quite as good (a very close call) and the rest of the conference may be not as good as last year.. I mean Williams and Amherst are not as good for sure
what do you think?

well first off, i asked about last year when i think the nescac did better that the uaa at the end of the season - which is when it matters. therefore, ill say that last year the nescac was better despite you and snowman's insistance that the uaa was dominant. in fact, after snowman guaranteed a nyu victory over williams and a brandeis victory over bowdoin he melted off this forum...literally.
as for this year, the starts of seasons are always hard to judge by, especially in the nescac where practice starts two weeks later than the rest of the nation. when you start the season with two weeks of practice as compared to four it is especially difficult. i am not making excuses for the nescac this year but it is really hard to judge those teams until january. i will tell you that bowdoin, no matter how much they lose, always finds a way to be great. i can't remember a time they were ranked out of the top 10 no matter who they lose. i will also tell you as a williams grad, that williams always comes on strong in january. i think they had the same record last year at this point and have only lost to two ranked opponents. they lost one senior last year, albeit their 3rd all time leading scored but i think they'll be back in the sweet 16 this year. as for amherst, they were never good and haven't had a winning season in the past 4-5 years so i don't know why you brought them up. bates was supposed to be the real deal this year but lost nescac player of the year meg coffin to a season ending knee injury but seem to be learning how to play without her lately. i dont know if the nescac has the depth this year but their top 3-4 are VERY good like the uaa - so i was curious about your opinion. i don't expect 4 teams from the nescac but 2-3 is a definite possibility for the tourny.

OK SORRY I didn't mean to get your shorts in a bunch.
If you go top to bottom, I will give you the Polar Bears and we agree Bates is down, even if I give you Williams, Trinity and Colby are awful this year (I don't care what Trinity's record is, I spoke with people who have seen multiple games), Tufts I assume will be the usual Tufts although they haven't started great and everyone is ok we'll even say even with their respective teams of a year ago.
All I am saying about the UAA is that every team save Brandeis and Wash U are better then last year and I wouldn't be suprised if Wash U still got up to win the UAA.
I would think the Polar Bears, Maroons and Yellow Jakets are the top 3 teams out of the bunch

nancy,
my shorts are not currently in a bunch. last year my shorts were in a bunch when you and snowman made it seem like an absurdity to suggest the nescac was as strong or perhaps stronger than the uaa but the satisfaction of the nescac success in the tourny at the uaa's expense "unbunched" them.
as for this year, i wanted to hear your opinion. i agree with them for the most part, especially that the nescac isnt as deep this year. though personally i was NEVER entirely impressed by brandeis - i was very impressed with their best player the past couple of years (can't remember her name). they played the softest non-conference imaginable and sometimes looked shaky against some shaky tufts teams. they had some great wins over the past years but something about them made me know they didn't have a shot at bowdoin no matter where they played the game.

The last time Bowdoin was not in the top 10 was very early (Week 3) in the 2001-02 season. That's an ongoing streak of 78 consecutive top 10 rankings, which is a record for the D3Hoops.com women's top 25. (This is one of the few poll records not held or shared by Wash U., whose longest top 10 streak was 64 weeks, from the inception of the poll in 1999 through Week 2 of the 2003-04 season.)

Nescac Hoops,
Believe me when I tell you, I agree wholeheartedly about the cream puff schedule that Coach Simon continually puts in place. Although last year was better with #8 Bates (at the time) on the schedule, she is famous for beating nobody's and I think that hurts the team when they jump into association play. They only play 24 games, not 25 and last year when the babson game got postponed, they couldn't find time in the schedule to make it up. But remember this is a program that Coach Simon has that did NOT have a winning season for 12 years up until 4 years ago and it seems the women is deathly afraid of losing again, why else pick up Simmons when MIT drops you from the schedule. Simmons migt actually be worse then MIT!
Ditto NYU, I mean its not like either program can't find worthy opponents, UNLESS YOU JUST NEED THE WINS.
That is why I am impressed this year with Chicago, Case and Emory they picked up real teams and lets not forget Rochester and Wash U who always have tough team on the early calendar.

nancy,
i totally agree with you on brandeis underachieving when it counts - both in conference and preseason play. i said the same thing about the amherst men on the men's nescac forum and they made it seem like a crazy suggestion.
as a williams grad, that is something about them that i applaud. 3 years ago they opened up the season after two weeks of practice against a #2 ranked scranton team (and won) and last year opened up with southern maine ranked #1 in a highly contested game they lost without one of they're stars (broken leg/foot). this year they went to wash u in hopes of getting a crack at the "dynasty" but wash u lost to lake forest in the opening game and the two teams didn't meet in the championship. i would like to see bowdoin beef up their schedule a bit but i think it may be hard to get teams up to maine to play and during the 1st semester (non conference games) it is hard for nescac teams to travel (hard for bowdoin to go anywhere to play) - they may also be trying to protect their 43895734875683745 winning streak at home, however, they do play southern maine every year and manage to win at home.
i can't really speak for other uaa teams b/c being in the NE area i don't really hear too much except for brandeis. i will say i HATE nyu and their head coach. i have heard rumors about her in the bast b/c my friend's sister used to play there and a friend of mine is a williams basketball alum who was at their ncaa game last year. i don't know how she gets away with what she does. it makes me sick to see how in some people's minds she is a coaching genious. her players are downright dirty (beyond just being aggressive) and she demands that they play this way. it's awful to see.

First let me apologize, I got an email from someone "remiding me" Brandeis only had 9 out of 10 losing seasons prior to 4 years ago, Ok fine, just goes to show at the D3 level you can coach forever without any expectation of winning.
Now, everybody in the Northeast should head to Brandeis when Chicago is in town, saw them again today and they look really good, I am as excited about them as I was the Judges when Fitzpatrick was a senior. Don't miss them, fast and fun!

NYU will be prepared for the UAA this season. They have improved each of the four games I've seen them play. This is the first team in a number of years where the entire team is committed to playing defense. They are physically strong and the coach can go ten deep. One never knows about how strong or weak the other teams in the UAA really are, because one rarely plays against a common foe pre-conference. But this squad has good chemistry and talented players. I predict they will be a force in their conference.

http://www.uaa.rochester.edu/Basketball/UAA_WBasketball_Records.htm
or here
http://www.uaa.rochester.edu/Administration/UAA_Record_Book.doc
It's particularly noticeable on the doc because none of the usual team stuff includes any 2005-06 updates.
I discovered it because they still have
Points Scored: 37 Marsha Harris, New York (vs. Brandeis, 2/15/98)
rather than
Points Scored: 39 Kelly Manning, Washington (vs. Chicago, 2/25/06)

This evening, she led the Maroons with 18 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and blocked three shots as UofC defeated Carthage College 72-53 to go to 9-0.

Frosh from Brandeis having an impact--
Jessica Chapin (#23 on the Brandeis roster) out of Mendon, NY is coming off the bench averaging 18.8 min. a game. She is currently 3rd in scoring on the Brandeis team with a scoring average of 8.8 ppg and a rebounding avg. of 3.1 per game. In the road game at Wheaton (MA) earlier this season, her scoring combined with the scoring of fellow frosh Lauren Rashford helped keep Brandeis in the game in the first half when Caitlin Malcolm had to sit out with 2 early quick fouls.
Sorry for the wait, but my home computer is on the fritz.
I'm waiting for the Brandeis at Tufts game on January 3rd-- Tufts has 2 games this weekend in the WPI Invitational in Worcester, MA. Tufts should win easily against SUNY-Plattsburgh on Saturday to set up a match on Sunday against WPI for the invitational title. Tufts has won 6 straight since their opening 2 pt. loss against Suffolk. In the current 6 game winning streak, Tufts defeated Salem State in Salem, MA by a score of 61-43-- as a result, the Tufts women's team is receiving votes in the D3Hoops.com Top 25 poll. Tufts is coming off 2 blowout victories at home against Simmons and Wellesley.
Then, the games to pay attention to on January 5-7, 2006.
The game to catch on Friday, Jan. 5 will be the Brandeis at Rochester game on the women's side. Rochester will be favored in that game because of the home victory by the Yellowjackets against Scranton earlier in the season and the 2 pt. road victory at Medaille also earlier this season, but either side could win this game. NYU will also be playing an improved Carnegie Mellon Tartans squad in Pittsburgh on Jan. 5.
The big game of the weekend will be on Saturday, Jan. 6, when Wash U goes to play at Chicago. Case and Emory will also open up against each other that day, but Wash U at Chicago looks to be the bigger game as a Chicago victory that day will shake up the UAA early. With a younger team, the Bears will need to prove that they have improved since the loss against Lake Forest in the McWilliams Classic.
Sunday, Jan. 7 has Brandeis playing at Carnegie Mellon with NYU playing at Rochester. NYU at Rochester looks to be the bigger game of the two, but don't overlook Carnegie Mellon as they will be trying to get a home victory against Brandeis.
I'll have a little more on my impressions on the UAA after the first full weekend of conference play, but it seems like Rochester and Chicago have the stronger of the undefeated marks vs. Brandeis or NYU. Whether or not that translates into league play still remains to be determined.

Sunday, Jan. 7 has Brandeis playing at Carnegie Mellon with NYU playing at Rochester. NYU at Rochester looks to be the bigger game of the two, but don't overlook Carnegie Mellon as they will be trying to get a home victory against Brandeis.
I'll have a little more on my impressions on the UAA after the first full weekend of conference play, but it seems like Rochester and Chicago have the stronger of the undefeated marks vs. Brandeis or NYU. Whether or not that translates into league play still remains to be determined.

I hope that Brandeis gets tested by tufts, just enough to get them back into shape after this 3 week+ layoff. The men played today at Curry a team who was 2-7 going into todays game and at one point had a 9 point advantage over the judges late in the first half. Brandeis came away with the win, and i think overall it will be good for them going into conference play this weekend. The women have had a easy schedule thus far and were not really contested at all with the exception of the suprise at wheaton.
In a perfect world, the judges will come away with a win over tufts, while being contested enough to get them into shape for the conference play. Having faced no one even remotly tough so far, playing rochester AT rochester could almost me a death wish, but that is not my concern. What concerns me is how they will play against lesser UAA talent, yet still stronger than most of their non conference schedule..i.e. CMU or Emory (a team that has been their first loss each of the last two seasons).

Massey Ratings have the UAA as the top women's D3 conference, just ahead of the WIAC. Team rankings (and strength of schedule out of 425 teams) through 12/31/06:
4 Chicago (17)
13 Rochester (120)
38 Brandeis (272)
43 NYU (303)
51 Case (61)
75 Washington (102)
128 Emory (105)
201 CMU (222)
I don't think NYU and Brandeis do much good for themselves with the easy non-conference schedules.

Chicago did a number on #29 Wheaton (IL) this evening - 57-36. The Maroons were ahead 40-18 at the half. The bench played the second half. Chicago is now 10-0, with a 4-0 record against the CCIW in their last four games. They have one non-conference game left, at MSOE next Tuesday, a game they should win.
The game with Washington this Saturday should tell a lot. Chicago has played a tough schedule and met every challenge. Winning at Wisconsin-Whitewater was impressive. I think the Maroons are primed and ready to go.
Nicaya Rapier seems to be back from her ACL surgery and is playing great. Nofi Mojidi is just great. Alex Leach is coming into her own. Freshman Molly Hackney is making up for the inside presence lost with the graduation of Susie Gutowski, And Korry Schwanz is in charge.
The bench strength is from freshman - an outstanding group. I think the Maroons are now the favorites to win the UAA.

I just wanted to write and let people know that I am in Rochester for tonight's Brandeis at Rochester matchup(s). I expect a great game tonight whether or not Alex Porter of Rochester is able to play-- she missed the RIT game a few days ago, so I assume that she got banged up over the winter break.
I'll make sure to eat a Zweigle's hot dog this afternoon before the game. :)
Let's have a very competitive UAA weekend, and I'll hopefully be able to write some comments tomorrow on tonight's games at the Palestra. Have a good broadcast tonight, J.C. :)

Very good victory for Chicago today. However, I noticed that Shanna Lei-Dacanay did not play for Wash U today, and the score was very close. The final score of that Chicago-Wash U game is very interesting-- I expected it to be a little higher.
Brandeis at Rochester went about what I expected, unfortunately. I am a little disappointed that the Judges did not play well enough to win. The first half was interesting-- but a good case can be made for replay in DIII-- was that final shot by Brandeis in the first half really taken after the buzzer sounded? It did not matter-- Rochester took control in the second half.
A must win for Brandeis tomorrow at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, and then Brandeis will have to prove themselves against NYU next Saturday in the home opener for the Judges.
NYU gets its test tomorrow at Rochester to conclude the weekend.

HOMEGROWN REPORT
Washington University loses Dacanay for season
By Leila Wai
Advertiser Staff Writer
Washington University (St. Louis) sophomore guard Shanna-Lei Dacanay suffered a season-ending knee injury against Maryville Dec. 13.
Dacanay, a 2005 Punahou School graduate, is the second All-State guard from Hawai'i to see her season ended by a knee injury. Gonzaga freshman point guard Tatriana Lorenzo, a 2006 Kamehameha graduate, injured her left knee against UCLA in a tournament in Hawai'i Nov. 25.

Well, I got my home computer up and running today.
Halftime at the Palestra in Rochester, NY--
Rochester 44, NYU 26
30 Rochester points in the first half came by way of the 3 point shot.
The Rochester women's team hit 10 3's in the first half. 4 Rochester players hit 2 or more 3's in the first half. If that is not a record for most 3's by the Rochester team in a half, I don't know what is.
Rochester needs to only hit 4 more 3's in the second half to break the team record for most 3's made in a game, which was set in last year's NCAA tournament game vs. Medaille with 13 3 pointers made.

Somehow, the CMU live stats machine went on the blink near the end of the first half, so I ended up listening on the computer to the WRCT FM webcast of the second half of the Brandeis/CMU women's game from Skibo Gym in Pittsburgh.
No problem for the Brandeis women's basketball team today.
Brandeis women win today, 71-42, over the Tartans to go 10-1, 1-1 in the UAA. The Carnegie Mellon women sustain their 50th straight conference loss in UAA play.
The Brandeis women finish up a road game slate on Thursday with a local road game at Simmons College.
UAA home opener for Brandeis is next Saturday vs. NYU, with a tip time for the women's game at 1 PM Eastern from the Auerbach Arena.

The UAA is brutal. After next weekend, either Brandeis or NYU will be 1-2. Rochester is feeling pretty good, 3-0 in the conference. But on Friday, they go into St. Louis to play a Washington team which does not want to go to 0-2. Unfortunately for Rochester, they have the weakest travel partner in the UAA, CMU, which is winless in its last 50 UAA games. So they will fast a well rested Chicago team on Sunday. The Yellowjackets may head home 3-2 in the conference.

Saturday:
Chicago 54
Washington 51
The Maroons improved to 11-0, but the Bears must have spent the trip back to St. Louis thinking this was one that got away. Wash U battled back from an 11-point deficit and had several shots to take the lead in the second half, but they could not make one.
Nofi Mojidi (14 pts) again led the Maroons in scoring, but every starter scored at least 8. Chicago showed its depth, as several players made clutch plays down the stretch. Korry Schwanz made a fallaway jumper to give UC the lead for good at 44-42. Nicaya Rapier made 3 of the Maroons' final 4 FGs to hold the lead. And Alex Leach swished a pair of foul shots with :05 remaining to provide the final margin.
The Maroons did not play their best game, but had just enough at home against a strong Wash U squad. This is going to be a fun season in the UAA.

Just a clarification for Martin's sake--
Rochester plays at Wash U on Friday, Jan. 19 (which is not this Friday).
The schedule for this upcoming week in UAA play, briefly...
Friday, January 12
1.) Wash U at Case
2.) Chicago at Emory
Saturday, January 13
NYU at Brandeis
Sunday, January 14
1.) Wash U at Emory
2.) Chicago at Case
Other news--
Rochester plays in the Chase Tournament this week, which means that both Rochester and Carnegie Mellon get the weekend byes from UAA play this weekend. (Rochester and CMU already played each other last month, per the UAA tradition of accomodating Rochester's annual Chase Tournament commitment.)
The Chase Tournament is to the Rochester area in D3 college hoop what the Beanpot is to college hockey in Boston, so the UAA always plans their conference schedules to accomodate the Chase Tournament.

At what point is anyone here going to give Rochester even just a little respect? They just beat 2 straight top 25 teams in one weekend. And they didn't just beat them, they dominated. They were up by as much as 18 on top 10 Brandeis before they started coasting to the W. NYU was even worse, going up 28 before Rochester was able to clear their bench and get everyone some action. And there isn't one contributor, the shooters carried them on Friday and the post took control on Sunday. They go 11 deep without hesitation against every opponent they play. They've been to the Sweet Sixteen 3 of the last 4 years and the final four in 2 of those years. What more do they need to put on their resume for you people to give them something more than "decent team" compliments? As far as I know, they're #3 in the country and completely controlling everyone they play. I think it's fair to say they're the favorite in this league.

URJackets -
Very bad first post. You promptly got bad karma. My post was not an insult to Rochester but a comment on what a tough league the UAA is. UR gets plenty of respect - rated #3 in the county, two final four appearances in recent years, one of the best teams in the best women's D3 league in the country.
What my comment conveyed was that an outstanding team like Rochester could quite easily go on the road and drop two games. And that would not lessen my opinion of them.
In just about any other league, Rochester, Brandeis, Chicago, NYU or Washington would be an overwhelming favorite to win the league. In the UAA, who knows. I am cheering for the Maroons and think they are much stronger and tougher than they have ever been in the past.
If a team goes 12-2 in conference, that would be outstanding. To do that, you have to win all 7 home games, beat Case, CMU and Emory on the road, and win two of four on the road against the other top contenders. That is a tall order. Brandeis, NYU and Wash would have to win 2 of their three remaining road games with the other contenders to do that.
If Rochester can win one game on their St. Louis/Chicago trip, they would be in real good shape. If they win both, they are well on their way to winning the UAA. I think it will be very tough for them to win 2. I mentioned that they are hampered by the weakness of their travel partner, allowing the opponents to focus on them.
I reread my original post and there was nothing in it that denigrated Rochester. You read way too much into what was a commentary on the level of play in the UAA.

Rochester 82 NYU 69
The UAA is brutal. After next weekend, either Brandeis or NYU will be 1-2. Rochester is feeling pretty good, 3-0 in the conference. But on Friday, they go into St. Louis to play a Washington team which does not want to go to 0-2. Unfortunately for Rochester, they have the weakest travel partner in the UAA, CMU, which is winless in its last 50 UAA games. So they will fast a well rested Chicago team on Sunday. The Yellowjackets may head home 3-2 in the conference.
At what point is anyone here going to give Rochester even just a little respect? They just beat 2 straight top 25 teams in one weekend. And they didn't just beat them, they dominated. They were up by as much as 18 on top 10 Brandeis before they started coasting to the W. NYU was even worse, going up 28 before Rochester was able to clear their bench and get everyone some action. And there isn't one contributor, the shooters carried them on Friday and the post took control on Sunday. They go 11 deep without hesitation against every opponent they play. They've been to the Sweet Sixteen 3 of the last 4 years and the final four in 2 of those years. What more do they need to put on their resume for you people to give them something more than "decent team" compliments? As far as I know, they're #3 in the country and completely controlling everyone they play. I think it's fair to say they're the favorite in this league.
We need more Rochester fans on this board ... but hopefully they don't carry a chip on their shoulder.

I always hear this from telecasts on tough D-I conferences, but this especially applies to a tough league like the UAA.
The keys to success in this league, which has a lot of parity, are:
Priority 1-- Win out at home. (Preferably go no worse than 6-1 in UAA play at home, but 5-2 is acceptable if your team is also a team that is strong enough to also go 5-2 on the road -- which means that your team got one of the "bonus" wins in the process.)
Priority 2-- Beat at least the bottom half of your conference on the road.
"Bonus" wins-- Wins over the top half of your league on the road. (It is always tough to win on the road.)
That being said-- this weekend has Wash U and Chicago playing at Case and Emory. Wash U and Chicago are the favorites to sweep this weekend, but don't underestimate Emory's ability to pull off an upset over one of the two-- Emory is always tough to beat in Atlanta, and in the past, Emory has pulled off major upsets at home against top-level UAA teams, and I would not be surprised to see Emory beating one of these two UAA teams this weekend. (More likely it would be Emory beating Wash U if that happens, but Chicago must also be careful.)
The big Saturday game has Brandeis opening the home part of the UAA schedule against NYU-- Brandeis has been very successful at home in UAA play over the past two years-- will this be a third? Look for this game to be very close-- Brandeis has won this game over the past few years, and will need to win this one to stay in pace.

Well, as I've been saying for awhile, the Bears are weaker than they've been in awhile and I would be pleasantly surprised if they won half their road games and three fourths of their home games, particularly given the apparant strength of the other UAA teams. The one thing that gives me hope is that Chicago only beat them 54-51 at home.
BTW, I found a e-mail contact for the UAA web site at Rochester and the record books have been updated online.
P.S. The person who wrote the press release here needs better research skills:
http://www.d3hoops.com/pressreleases.php?release=928
Nancy Fahey (Wisconsin, 1981) is in her 21st season in charge of the Washington University program. Heading into a Friday contest at Case Western Reserve, Fahey has a school and career record of 480-83. She has a pair of national championships to her credit (1998 & 1999) and has recorded 17 seasons of 20 or more wins.
Kudos on including the up-to-date record of 480-83, but I don't think I need to point out the error.

Sorry I haven't been here that much this season. So, Case lost to Emory for the first time in seven years, which leaves them at 8-4 (incidentally the same record as Wash U). However, even though Wash U is having a down year (and not a "22-5, lose in the 2nd round" kind of down year) I'm still not optimistic about Case's chances. We'll just have to see how it plays out.
*And yes, this is the time of year where I mention that Case has never beaten Wash U in... what is it now, 26 tries? I've been away from campus for a while, so I may have lost count. I do plan on being there for Throwback Weekend, though.

Very impressive game by Chicago, according to the stats:
http://athletics.uchicago.edu/womensbasketball/UC-EUW.HTM
The 37 field goals jumps out at me..in a 40-minute game, that's impressive.
Four of the five Maroon starters scored in double figures; the lone exception was Alex Leach, who was too busy dishing it out (7 assists).
Defensively, the Maroons forced 21 turnovers, held Emory to under 30 percent shooting, committed 14 steals and blocked 7 shots...all while committing only 9 personal fouls?
And how about this -- 10 UC players scored, and 10 players had a steal.
Great all-around effort tonight in Atlanta for UC.

Yeah, it was the first time that Case so much as lost by single digits to Wash U-- seriously. This one literally came down to the last shot (a missed 3 at the buzzer).
That being said, I will be very pleasantly surprised if Case can beat undefeated Chicago on Sunday-- though it has happened before (see Rochester, 2004).

Now that I've read the boxscore, the loss looks even more painful. Case fell behind by 19, then rallied for most of the second half to cut the Wash U lead to 1-- then missed five shots in a row that would have given them the lead.
Someday, somewhere, with some group of players, the Case women's basketball team will defeat Wash U. And this was the closest they've ever come.

Some quick thoughts from the weekend....
1.) Rochester deserves to be ranked #1 in DIII in both the D3Hoops.com and ESPN/USA Today polls this week. Bowdoin is #2; I would think that Hope is #3 despite the loss to Calvin (although you could now rank Calvin above Hope in the national rankings and I would not argue.)
Rochester deserves to be ranked above Bowdoin this week because Rochester has faced and defeated more nationally ranked teams this season than Bowdoin. Plus, anytime Rochester can get a 20 pt. lead over a team in the Chase final, only to then lose it and have to play 2 overtimes against a Brockport team that proved that it belonged in the final, abd then finally win the game.-- that effort is deserving of the #1 ranking.
I have seen both Rochester and Bowdoin in person this year (thanks to scheduling a flight out of Rochester at 6:50 AM in the morning so that I could make it back to Boston in time for the Bowdoin/Emmanuel game.) Both teams deserve to be in the NCAA national tournament this season, and if Rochester and Bowdoin should meet in the postseason, the game will be very close. However, Gordon Mann is exactly right on how Rochester and Bowdoin should be ranked-- Bowdoin is the best team in the Northeast Region, but not yet the best team in the entirety of DIII this season.
2.) With two tough games this week, Rochester may not be #1 for too long. Rochester has to play Wash U and Chicago on the road. Although Wash U has had a down year so far, Rochester's wins over Wash U in the all-time series have all come at the Palestra.-- the Yellowjackets have yet to get a victory at the Wash U Field House. I would also expect Chicago to be in the top 10 in at least one of the two national women's DIII polls when the polls are released tomorrow.
3.) Sunday's Rochester at Chicago match will be very exciting regardless of the outcome of Friday's Rochester at Wash U match.
4.) On the other side of the UAA, Brandeis and NYU will be hosting Case and Emory this upcoming weekend. Both Brandeis and NYU will be favored to sweep this weekend, although if I had to pick which team out of the two would be more likely to sweep Case and Emory this weekend, I would pick NYU.

I wouldn't use this as a positive. Effort is fine and all but blowing a 20-point lead to Brockport isn't one of the classic signs of a No. 1 team. :)

Point taken. Normally, a team that blows a 20 point lead would be predicted to lose that game, however, and the Chase Tournament final is not just an average non-conference game; especially to the fans in the Rochester area.
If the voters choose to stay with Bowdoin as the #1 in the D3Hoops.com Top 25, the Polar Bears usually don't disappoint at this point in the season. :)

Rochester travels to the Midwest and puts its #2 ranking on the line this weekend with road games against Wash U (storied program, tough team again this year) and 14-0 Chicago.
If the Yellowjackets can win Friday in St. Louis and the Maroons hold serve at home against CMU...two of the five unbeaten teams in D3 will tip at 2:00 Sunday in Hyde Park.
At that same time, the NFC Championship game will be kicking off just a few miles up Lake Shore Drive.

It is quite a season in the UAA, I think the winner of Sunday's match up ( I will attend and report) between UC and UR will feature 2 teams that I anticipate will go deep in the NCAA's. More interesting will be if Wash U can hold serve against UR, if they do it will set up quite a run the rest of the way in the UAA and may catipult the Bears to an NCAA berth, although I think the team that finishes 4th (Brandeis or Wash U) will be the bubble team to get in the NCAA's and that means the games between the 2 will play a big role in determining that. I expect the Association to shake out:
1-UC
2-UR
3-NYU
4-Wash U
5-Brandeis
I also expect NYU and Brandeis to hold serve this weekend but wouldn't be supprised if Emory AND-OR Case beat Brandeis. I have talked to a couple friends who were at the NYU game and didn't like what I heard about the Judges.
Any other thoughts?

Winning at both Washington and Chicago will be very tough. I put the odds at:
UR wins twice - 10%
UR wins one - 45%
UR loses both - 45%

I don't see what would be so spectacular about two wins for UR. They already deserve to be #1 -- they are undefeated and knocked off previously unbeaten Brandeis, NYU, and Scranton, along with double-digit-win teams Medaille, Elmira, and Brockport. A quick check shows they've beaten 9 teams with winning records. A similar check shows 2 such wins for WashU. The fact that WashU were good in 2000 doesn't make them any good right now. As for Chicago, certainly a strong year for them, but after only a three point win over WashU at home, what makes them that much better? For that matter, on what objective basis is Chicago any stronger than UR right now?
1. UR
2. Chicago
3. NYU
4. Brandeis
5. WashU

Final from St. Louis:
Rochester 36
Washington U. 57
Hmm, looks like Wash U. still has a pretty darn good team.
In other news, Chicago routs Carnegie Mellon 91-49 to improve to 15-0. Six UC players scored in double figures, and two others added 8 points apiece. Since their 54-51 win over Wash U. on Jan. 6, the Maroons are averaging 81.0 ppg in three UAA games.

All the home teams won tonight. Big game on Sunday - Rochester at Chicago. Winning on the road in the UAA is always tough. I think the Sunday games - the second of the road trip - are harder to win. It will be interesting to see if Rochester can bounce back against the Maroons.

Amazing to me that the Rochester team I saw get destroyed tonight by Wash U could ever be ranked at all, much less ranked #2. I'm not sure Wash U even deserves votes for the top 25. Yet I see that Rochester has already defeated 3 other top 25 teams -- Scranton, NYU, and Brandeis. Something ain't right.

Reactions from Friday night...
From the Brandeis/Case game.
1.) It's a good sign when the Brandeis women lead Case by 24 at the half, and then have the bench to prevent any Case counter-rallies from taking place. I thought that Case was going to press for the entire second half to get back into it, if not do it for the whole game. (As it turned out, that would probably have been the Spartans's only chance for an "upset" victory, in my book.) Brandeis's bench scores 29 points, and Lauren Rashford, despite her 6 turnovers (most of them came in the second half when the game was already decided), had her best game last night as a back-up point guard to Kiersten Holgash.
2.) Great efforts from Jaime Capra and Lauren Orlando on the starting side of the Brandeis team. (All of the Brandeis players played well tonight.)
3.) 18 of Brandeis's 27 turnovers came in the second half, when Brandeis was already up 25 points-- the bench played well on the defensive end in the second half to prevent Case from doing any serious damage.
4.) Biggest rebounding margin of the year-- Brandeis got 54 rebounds last night to Case's 20. Brandeis also beats Case by the biggest margin that I have seen in my years of following the 'Deis/Case series. I wonder what Coach Kristen Hughes would have done in this situation if she were still coaching Case.
From the other UAA games last night...
1.) The Wash U women are to the UAA this year what the Princeton men were to last year's Ivy League race-- neither team had a terrific first semester in non-conference play, but they both bounced back to do well in league play. (The Princeton men came back from losing to Carnegie Mellon last year to a second place finish in the Ivy League, I believe.) In the case of Wash U, the women look like they are back in the title hunt-- which in most years means at least a share of the UAA title.
2.) I'm not surprised that Rochester lost in St. Louis last night (maybe a little surprised by the margin of victory, though)-- the Rochester women have never won there. Unfortunately, last night was the best shot in years that Rochester will probably get to win there, but Wash U rose to the challenge. Wash U's Jill Brandt seems to be developing as a player in her own right to be a capable replacement for Shanna-Lei Dacanay this season.

I've seen enough Wash U women's basketball over the past 6 year to know that this year's team doesn't measure up to those of the past -- especially on offense. Credit a great defensive effort for last nights rout of Rochester. Since this is the only time I'll see Rochester play this year, I suppose it can be chalked up to a simply horrible, horrible night for them. If they are truly worthy of being in the top 25 they have to play light years better than they did last night.

Wash U usually does play great defense, but I don't see the Wash U women's basketball team making it to Springfield, MA this year even if they do make it into the NCAAs (which could still happen-- a 10-4 UAA mark would still lock the Bears in, and a 9-5 UAA mark could still get the Bears at least a Pool C bid-- I don't know about that for sure, though.) I don't see the Bears doing any better than 10-4 in the UAA this year. I pick NYU as favored to sweep the Bears, and Rochester to win the game at the Palestra over Wash U-- that gives the Bears at least 4 conference losses.

Hey looked at stats, I see the Brandeis team loves padding the stats, you think they could slow down chucking up the 3's in the 2nd half up almost 30...I mean pay back is a bitch, especially in the UAA

NO!!! Top ten would be OK but we don't need the potential bad karma that comes with such a lofty perch.
I think Chicago could very easily be 7-0 in the UAA on Sunday evening, Jan 28. That means they would have defeated the four other contenders - but at home. They still will have to face all four of them on the road.
I think Chicago needs to win their next three at home - Rochester, NYU and Brandeis - to have a shot at the UAA. A team that wins out at home and goes 2-2 on the road against the four other contenders, would win the UAA title. That assumes no slipups against the bottom three. A 12-2 team undoubtedly wins the UAA. It may be 11-3 or a massive tie with a bunch of 10-4 teams.
Brandeis has the toughest road, NYU a leg up on the rest - since NYU won at Brandeis. I think the UAA champion will have to hold court at home. Right now, the four of the five are still holding court at home. Even if Rochester loses to Chicago on Saturday, that is not a fatal blow. A win would be huge - any road win against another contender is huge. Winning on the road in the UAA is very tough.

I think Rochester's loss last night played a pivotal roll in not allowing them to take over the #1 position in next weeks poll. My money goes back on Hope or Scranton taking over the #1 position. Even if Chicago wins against Rochester, I don't think they (Chicago) could jump in front of those two frontrunners. Chicago hasn't played the best of the UAA's programs yet. I think Chicago's good.... but are they worthy of the top position??
Hope's only loss is to Calvin - which is also in the top 10... and Scranton lost in there 2nd game of the year.
Howard Payne hasn't played anyone thus far... and according to the Massey Rating, ranks 132 in strength of schedule in Div III. Therefore, its hard for me to see them take over the #1 spot, when based off who they've played, I wouldn't see them in the top 10. We'll see how good Howard Payne is in a few weeks when they play there first real competition of the year in conference foes McMurry and Hardin-Simmons. If they beat them... then I'll take back my thoughs on them and say they are worthy of their high ranking.

I just did, telling them, as I did here, that I thought the press release was good except for that one puzzling gaffe. I had to assume that the sports information director and the assistant SID were the proper ones to contact since what of their releases is posted here contain no clue as to the actual person who wrote them and/or sent them to you.
I also told them that you suggested that I contact them.

While it's certainly possible you knew who wrote it that doesn't mean that someone else reading your post might not jump to the wrong conclusion.

The fact that WashU were good in 2000 doesn't make them any good right now.
If that's a dig at me (since I've been only one mentioning the 2000 team lately), you don't seem to have actually read my posts. I've been the first to admit the Bears are weaker this year, though apparantly not quite as weak as I thought. They still have good defensive skills.
I only started on the 2000 kick because of one Hope fan's statement that Fifield had said that Hope's team last year was the best he'd ever seen. Even Fifield's actual statement that they were as good as any of the WashU team doesn't hold up, but I'll give him credit for politeness to the newly crowned champions.

As for Chicago, certainly a strong year for them, but after only a three point win over WashU at home, what makes them that much better? For that matter, on what objective basis is Chicago any stronger than UR right now?
Umm.......

Which my dad and I were predicting as far back as two seasons ago. Last year wouldn't have been successful as it was if Manning hadn't had both a year of eligibility and classwork left.
The "especially on offense" is right. For the first time in many years, there just isn't a consistant scoring threat, and not even an underclassman with promise. But as long as they play tenacious defense for Fahey, they've still got some teeth.

I think the top 5 UAA teams should all be in the top 25. Based on the results to date - I would put them in this order:
Chicago, Washington, Rochester, NYU, Brandeis
Where you place them is up to you. Given the strength of the conference, Chicago should be in the top 5, Wash in the top 10.
So far, Chicago beat Wash and Rochester
Wash beat Rochester
Rochester beat NYU and Brandeis
NYU won at Brandeis.
That goves me my current UAA ranking. It may change dramatically after the next two weekends.

Chicago 67, Rochester 60
The Maroons led by 22 early in the second half, but the Yellowjackets used a slew of three-pointers to whittle down the deficit. A Megan Krebbeks trey cut the lead to 63-58 with a minute to play. Chicago's Alex Leach was fouled, and just like in the victory over Wash U., Leach swished both foul shots in the final minute to effectively seal the win.
Solid low-post defense from Nicaya Rapier, Molly Hackney and Anna Woods frustrated UR to 6-30 shooting in the first half. In fact, for the game Rochester was 12-50 (24%) from inside the three-point arc.
The Maroons were consistently aggressive on offense -- it was fun to watch. Nofi Mojidi scored a game-high 19, most on plays exploding past her defender to the basket. Alex Leach, who also displayed a quick first step, added 15 points. Molly Hackney scored 14 from the post, and senior Korry Schwanz added 12.
Big win for UC, and 16-0 feels great, but there are several tough games left on the schedule. NYU and Brandeis visit the Ratner Center next weekend.

They may not want it but at least in the WBCA Poll with Bowdoin, Rochester, Hope going down and Scranton squeaking out a 1 point victory, it will be a first, THE MAROONS WILL BE #1 IN THE COUNTRY
The USA TODAY ESPN Board of Coaches is made up of 10 head coaches at Division III institutions. All are members of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA). The 2006-07 board: Aaron Roussell (University of Chicago), Brian Niemuth (Simpson College), Deb Hunter (Austin College), Helen Higgs (Whitworth College), James Scheible (University of Rochester), Jerry Scheve (Wilmington College), Mike Strong (University of Scranton), Nan Hambrose (St. Marys College of MD), Ron Rohn (Muhlenberg College), Stefanie Pemper (Bowdoin College).
While I'm not saying that Rochester and Chicago aren't good teams - great even - it's hard to take a poll seriously when the coaches are out lobbying for their own teams. Much more respect for the Wash U's and other teams who get noticed on their own...and when a coach makes it public to fans before the poll is even released, what does that say??

I doubt these voters have any interaction. Our voters don't even know who each other are, frankly. And it's obvious from the results of this poll that the voters are all voting separately, and even on separate days!
BTW, at least one person on this panel is also on ours.
Where do you see that?

I thought that was odd too. Then I realized that those votes were obviously submitted before the Scranton result was in. The deadline is Tuesday at noon, but coaches can submit them earlier. Once they're in, they can't be changed, which is a huge problem. I can understand some coaches having travel plans that make it hard to do it Tuesday morning or anything like that, so they're should be some flexibility from the pollsters.
Also, I can guarantee you that nobody on the Chicago team, including the coaches, cares about these polls. In fact, they don't really care to be #1, as it just brings more attention. You don't even know how coaches voted... Chicago very well may have been ranked higher by other voters than by its very own coach. I wouldn't be surprised.
So I wouldn't worry too much about fans getting all excited about it nor the potential conflicts of interest voters have. These are for discussion purposes only and to get people excited about their own teams.

I am not getting too worked up over the Top 25 polls. It is fun to see your team at the top of the rankings, and it does give us something to talk about. However, the bottom line is that both polls are a collection of OPINIONS that are not all that relevant at this point in the season, with so much basketball left to play.
I am just rooting for Chicago to claim a UAA title in what is an outstanding year for women's hoops in this conference.

That really invalidates the poll, wouldn't you think? What's the point of having this poll, then?
If you can't vote until Tuesday you still need to vote through Sunday's games, like everyone else did.

Scranton lost Monday night, right? So in order to correctly drop Scranton down, we would be talking about voting through Monday's games, not Sunday's.
What's the d3hoops.com policy about turning votes in early as well as changing them?

D3hoops.com poll is through the date which is listed on the poll, unequivocally, always. Except for a week around the holidays each year, that is always through Sunday's games.
We don't change votes and we really don't seem to have a problem with people voting on the right date. Usually when the poll is delayed it is because I am at my regular job and not because a ballot is waiting all night into Tuesday.
My point is that some WBCA voters took Monday into account and some obviously did not. Yet, the WBCA took those Sunday game ballots and put Monday's record on them, making two of their voters look foolish, as if they ranked Scranton No. 1 despite their second loss.

In preparation for this weekend, the Chicago Maroon interviewed me on Monday for a feature that just came out in today's edition.
You can read it at http://maroon.uchicago.edu
Putting some of the Chicago embellishments aside, I like the article. I did get asked some questions about my personal life which I consented to answer for the record-- I figured that if the Chicago fans wanted to get to know me personally, I had to tell some of my life story. (I figured that some of the life story could clarify why I could not financially afford this weekend's trip, at the very least.)
I just wanted to add a few things that I did not get asked in the interview--
1.) In the final regular season game that Brandeis basketball played at the old Shapiro gym before ground was broken for the Auerbach Arena, (this was my junior year at Brandeis-- 1989-90 season) I received a plaque from then Brandeis men's basketball coach Kevin O'Brien and the rest of the team acknowledging me as "Brandeis's #1 fan". I have kept this plaque in my apartment and treasure it to this day.
2.) I did check air fares for this upcoming weekend back in October and found out the cheapest air fares from Boston for the Chicago/St. Louis trip were at least $100 more than what I paid last year. I got a great deal with a $236 air fare last year for the trip that I probably will not expect again. Since both Chicago and Wash U are coming to Brandeis next week, I did not feel that it made any sense for me to travel this weekend to personally see these teams. I also feel that it is more comfortable for me as a fan to travel to these cities in years where Brandeis doesn't play Chicago and Wash U on 2 consecutive weekends. I did consider the Amtrak train option (which I used for my 2004 trip to the Midwest-- I left a day before the team to do this), but I did not feel that it was prudent to travel this year at the mercy of the freight rail train operators-- going by train means a guaranteed 2 to 6 hour delay in arriving at the destination.

There is also a story about a UofC fan - who really likes to go after Wheaton (IL). Out of respect for Diehardfan, I won't post anything on the CCIW board about it.
The Chicago people know which poll really counts - from the UofC sports blog:
Women's basketball #1 in ESPN/USA Today Poll!
Just came out this morning. As much as it hurts, we're still going to be forcing ourselves to stay consistent and use the more scientific d3hoops.com poll, but it's certainly exciting to think that, somewhere, somebody has the Maroons at #1.

Enjoyed the article, and thanks for the nice comments about your trust in our poll...
I saw Allen in action for first time last yr when I broadcast Brandeis-Carnegie Mellon...I thought they left out something cool...Allen, I don't know if this is something you do every game (or on the road), but my favorite part of your cheering was right before the women's team came onto the floor for warmups, I believe you did a full sprint across the gym screaming out
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN....YOUR BRANDEIS JUDGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It made me laugh, but it also made me think that D3 needs more fans with the guts to do something like that.

You are paraphrasing a bit of what I did last year at the Brandeis home games, but I essentially did something similar to what you wrote. I did not reveal that part in the phone interview on Monday, however-- so it did not make the article.
I may bring my pre-game warm-up introduction from last year back at next week's Brandeis games-- depending on what happens this weekend, I may have to pull out all the stops next weekend at Auerbach Arena. :)

Unfortunately, whether or not you made this trip, your female Judges will be licking wounds from an 0-2 trip to the heartland, not to worry, you will see hem go 0-2 at home next weekend ;).......
Anyway, I tought it was a nice write up and quite a complement from UC.......

cant say what the game looked like, but from the sound of it over the radio, wash u played amazing defense shutting the judges down to 3 for 20+ in the second half
brandeis had a lead of 6+ points during the first half before going down by 1 at half time, the first minute or two of the second half was fairly even with the judges only scoring from the foul line (started the second half 0-13), however wash u pulled away quickly winning the game big, with two players hitting double doubles i believe.
amazing game for wash u from the sound of it, and a pretty lack luster performance for the judges.
in other news with the nyu win at chicago, the top 3 teams in the UAA are tied at 4-1 thats wash u, nyu and chicago...deis drops to 3-3 in the conference.

I listened to the Brandeis at Wash U game last night as well. From what I heard, it looks like the Judges have not yet solved the problem of how NYU beat them at the Auerbach Arena. Brandeis is still getting mentally frustrated by very aggressive defenses that the other top UAA opponents are throwing at them-- the Judges have yet to figure out how to make baskets against those defenses.
If 'Deis cannot solve this problem, the Judges will have to settle for an ECAC New England title at best this year.

The best was when the NYU fans started chanting "NYU" near the end of the game on Friday night, and the Chicago fans only reply was "Safety School." Great game all around - a lot of heart (and talent!) from both teams. The UAA is one unbelievably tough conference and it's gearing up to be a great race to the finish...

It was a rough night and while NYU was in the middle of that 20 point run, you knew it was over. That being said, it was a great game and the atmosphere was great, also, as disappointing as the women's outcome was, the men's win was unexpected and a BLAST. So all was not lost and boy the student body was fun. Hopefully there won't be too much Saturday night hang over and the crowd today will be as large and enthusiastic.
The disappointment is that you don't often have undefeated teams lasting this long, I remember 3 years ago the Judges had a similar run, I think they too were the 2nd to last undefeated team left in the country. Also, being from Brandeis, NYU is the last team I wanted to see upset the applecart. But, nobody goes undefeated so it is time to pick up the pieces and get back on track today against the Judges. I still think that the Maroons will win the UAA based on what I have seen of everyone except Brandeis to this point (I won't be surprised when Wash U wins today) and that they will get an NCAA berth.
About Brandeis, from what I have followed in the stats and from what a couple friends have told me after attending several games, including the NYU game, the team has taken a step back. One friend said, they are back to the "same old same old" when "Curren and Sensinbrenner were here". They say that the team has no direction or offense, the try to run and "the guards just fire em up". In fact one friend said she is going to stick to the men's games because they work as a team and are "very good".

Actually, this year is the earliest that all undefeated women's teams have been eliminated since at least 1999, the last year we didn't do a Top 25. We've always had at least one unbeaten team last longer than this, and once as many as five.

Brandeis 57, Chicago 48
'
It doesn't matter how it gets done in the UAA as long as it gets done.
Great victory for the Judges-- they were great at taking advantage of Chicago's less than stellar performance today.
First win for Brandeis this season over a Top 25 opponent, and hopefully this will build some confidence for a Brandeis team that really needed it.
I'll be cheering hard for Brandeis to pull off the home sweep over Chicago and Wash U next weekend.
The Bears currently up 10 on NYU? I thought NYU could sweep them this season, but Wash U surely deserves to be ranked again if the Bears hold on and win.

Wash U 78, NYU 71
Wash U goes to 6-1 and takes sole possession of first place in the UAA.
Wash U is definitely a Top 25 team. (I already considered them a Top 25 team when they beat Rochester last week, but the Bears have solidified it this week.)
Nancy Fahey is now the frontrunner for UAA Coach of the Year again on the women's side.
Sarah Schell got a career high 32 points for Wash U.

Good win for Wash U today. The second half was much better played than the first half for both teams. Wash U looked much better than they did 10 days ago against Rochester, even though they won that one handily. I have also seen Illinois Wesleyan and DePauw play, although against weaker competition than top tier UAA teams. While this is obviously an apples to oranges comaprison, I'd say both IWU and DePauw are as good, possibly better, than Wash U, NYU, and Rochester.

I don't know about #11 though. I'll be happy if they manage to split this weekend's games, which most likely would be beating the Judges and losing to the Violets. But you never know, otherwise why would they play the games. :)

I've heard that she wondered at the preseason rankings given that she had five seniors, only two which had previously started, and fifteen sophomores and freshmen(freshwomen?). Her reputation for making the most of what she has perhaps?

you are correct to say that she did not have a great game, but i think its a little harsh. chicago played well especially in the low post, and on defense guarding capra and malcom. that being said it, though i have not looked at the stats yet, it appeared to be another poor shooting night for both teams, although i'd venture to say quite a bit better than last weekend. For the judges Chase had a hell of a game hitting one of the 3's that put the judges up 6-0 at the start of the game.
the game was very physical, and very entertaining for the spectator as most close games are. The double bonus both saved and almost killed the judges as twice late in the game they only hit one of the two. the judges held on to win this nailbitter, and move to 5-3 in the UAA. with wash u falling to 6-2, and chicago now at 5-3 this sunday's games will decide a lot.

Chicago loses 76-75 at NYU after leading for much of the game.
Wash U defeated Brandeis, and Rochester was a winner. It's not the five-way first-place tie that was possible, but three teams now deadlocked for first with Brandeis and Chicago trailing by two games.

What a bad weekend for UC, can't believe that we lost another game, especially since it sounded like this was ours for the taking (again) down the stretch. I LIVE: Mojidi had a great game today but I am not giving her a pass against Brandeis, that was a game that they should be ashamed to have lost. Brandeis is ok, but have little or no ball distribution and Malcom is great but I am not giving anyone "props" for shutting down Capra. Capra shuts herself down. The end of last year she continually shot 2-13, 3-14, 3-16 etc and has done it the past couple weekends, again today she was I think 3-14. Just because she scores a lot and leads the team doesn't mean much when you force shots and build your stats against the out of confrenece teams that should be playing against high schools, NOT BEANDEIS and against the weak sisters in the UAA. So not excuse for Mojidi's terrible game Friday.

Just to make sure I wasn't talking out of my butt, I went back and checked the stats and I again say you can't use Capra for any excuse, she folds against tough competition, today she was 4-17, Friday against UC she was 4-12, last Sunday against UC 1-13, last Friday against Wash U 3-11. Thats 12-53, and she is still shooting 40% on the year. At least Mojidi stepped it back up today:
## Player FG FGA FG FGA FT FTA OF DE TOT PF TP A TO BLK S MIN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23 Mojidi, Nofi....g 9 12 2 3 6 6 0 6 6 4 26 3 4 0 2 35
Capra is one of those players that likes to chuck it up, good shot or bad, I agree you need to defend a kid like that but a little defense against that type of player goes a long way.

By the way, the officiating sure was wonky between Chicago and Brandeis. How do the push-the-pace Maroons draw half the fouls that the chuck-em-up Judges do? I hate blaming the officials, and I am not trying to insult Brandeis. I just don't understand how it happens.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I just believe in terms of the fouls they draw. Both can be great or awful play styles depending on their execution, but wouldn't fastbreak play draw more desperation fouls going to the basket? You rarely see fouls on jumpers it seems.

Excerpt from Women's DIII News interview with NYU Head Coach Janice Quinn:
WDIIIN: How would you describe the UAA as a basketball conference?
Quinn: Wow. Great competition. Really good level of basketball. Skilled players and great coaches. A great deal of parity. Every year individual teams get better and better, and then the others respond in kind by improving again. If you love college basketball, the UAA is an exciting conference that takes its basketball seriously. A fantastic theory from 20 years ago that research universities could compete on the national level has been realized many times over across every sport.

The UAA is the toughest conference to play in, as much because of the travel situation as because of the teams that make up the conference. Two or three times per season a team will "fly" a considerable distance to play a game on Friday night and Sunday afternoon with often considerable travel between the Friday and Sunday game. I don't think any other conference challenges teams do to this. Yes, the NESCAC will often have teams play on Friday night and Saturday afternoon which is also a hardship, but these games don't involve air travel, though often they require hours of snow travel.
I would think that at some point in the future the UAA might want to consider whether it is worth it to continue as a conference because of the expense and the air travel.

DAMNIT! I just type up a post and lost it when I accidentally navigated away (stupid backspace doubling up as a "back" key). I'm going to type this with far less explanation, but hopefully the points stand...
You bring up two concerns: cost and scheduling (both strength of and logistics). Regarding cost, travel is just one component of these athletics budgets. If playing against academic peers is a priority, then you can cut from facilities, uniforms, food, coach salaries, recruiting, etc. I know that in some cases, these institutions refuse to even consider other conferences (e.g. Chicago baseball and softball are independent, though Rochester football is in a different league).
As for scheduling, travel is definitely tough, but the advantage is strength of schedule. Consider UAA men's soccer this season: Five teams made the national tournament. Two of them had losing in-conference records (Chicago and Rochester). Granted, soccer conference season is only seven games long (of a total 18), so the committee's regard was also for the nonconference scheduling. Still, the teams that at least survive the UAA seasons get bonus points with NCAA selection committees.
Of course, there are other travel aspects commonly cited that may negatively affect these teams. Some feel that UAA teams don't always do as well as expected in tournament play because of the grueling end-of-season schedules. (To which you could argue that expectations are hogwash, there's a lot of luck, and there are plenty of counterexamples.)
As a fan, I love the UAA season because of all the great teams that I get to see and follow. I feel like these teams really earn their wins and championships and that their records carry a lot of weight. The recruiting and coaching races are also becoming more interesting. Considering the glowing review of the UAA in Reclaiming The Game, these institutions are willing to endure some costs for the overall institutional message. For that reason, I think it's here to stay.

Chicago has to get 2 wins out of this weekend before the road trip next weekend to Carnegie Mellon and Rochester. The Chicago road games at Rochester and Wash U will be difficult ones for the Maroons to win, although Chicago can win at Rochester if the Chicago offense is back up to its best performance.
Brandeis hosts Carnegie Mellon tonight and Rochester on Sunday. Brandeis needs to win both games at home this weekend, with the Rochester game the more difficult of the two. After that, Brandeis goes to Emory (in Atlanta, Emory is 2-1 vs. Brandeis at WoodPEC under coach Thomaskutty), and Case before the final game at NYU on NYU's Senior Day.
If history is any guide, I don't like being on the bubble....

Any thoughts on this, I would say that should either or both Chicago and Brandeis lose a game this weekend they would be on the outside looking in for an NCAA BID, especially considering both are on the road the final game of the season at Wash U and NYU respectively.

Interesting article.
Even as a UChicago fan, I have nothing but respect for Coach Fahey and the Bears. Certainly have witnessed a fair share of beatdowns at the hands of Wash U over the years... that's what made the win at Ratner in January so sweet.
Nice to see the Bears bounce back and have a strong season after that slow start. The UAA just wouldn't be the same if Wash U weren't in the race. With Parker, McFarlin and Schell, there is a lot of talent there. If the Bears do make postseason play, they will not be an easy out.

OK...
I Surrender!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess this team isn't as good as it looked early, god, it the bad decisions that I don't understand. Everybody thinks they are Michael Jordan. Travel, offensives ITS A TEAM GAME.
It seems to be the trend, as I look at box scores from not just UC but around the UAA, assists seem down and shooting percentages look like Cr*p for the most part and that indicates that a lot of these games are like the one I saw today. I love the women's game because it is played below the rim and like I remember growing up. I understand that these athletes are getting better but I still think some of these games are lost because players get out of control.
Also, anyone know why when there is a foul on a shot it is NOT considered a shot taken? I saw several TERRIBLE shots forced today and when the shooter gets fouled on theses horrific shots I was told today they don't count againt shooting percentage, but if it goes in and is a 3 or 4 point play it does count. Just doesn't sound right.

Also,
I am leaning toward the point a friend made who has gone to games with me and seen not only UC but Brandeis, NYU, Chicago, Wash U and now Emory, that the UAA is DOWN this year and that as a whole the UAA is NOT better top to bottom as some people have said. His point was that the top teams Wash U, NYU, Rochester and Brandeis and also UC are not as good as their respective teams last year (I disagree as I think UC is better, but it is tough to argue the others mentioned are as good as last year). Also, he feels Emory is not as strong as last year either saying they are must weaker in the low post, since I did not see Emory last season I don't know.....
Any thoughts on the above

Just to make sure I wasn't talking out of my butt, I went back and checked the stats and I again say you can't use Capra for any excuse, she folds against tough competition, today she was 4-17, Friday against UC she was 4-12, last Sunday against UC 1-13, last Friday against Wash U 3-11. Thats 12-53, and she is still shooting 40% on the year....
Capra is one of those players that likes to chuck it up, good shot or bad, I agree you need to defend a kid like that but a little defense against that type of player goes a long way.
Jaime Capra on February 7, 2007 vs. Rochester Yellowjackets (18-3, D3Hoops.com #6):
31 PTS., 9/20 FG, 13/15 FT, 12 REB, 4 A, 2 ST
31 against the #6 team in the country. That ain't folding...that's rising to the occasion.

Sure it sounds right. Why would you penalize a kid for missing a shot when he/she was fouled in the process of taking it? The shot was illegally affected.

Having seen every UAA team at least once in each of the last five or so years, I disagree...with you and your friend.
Last year in the overall NCAA statistics (end of year), UAA teams ranked in the top-25 nine times, but only spanned two teams, Wash and NYU:
Field-Goal Percentage Defense - NYU - 19th
Blocked Shots Per Game - NYU - 19th
Assists Per Game - Washington - 2nd
Field-Goal Percentage - Washington - 9th
Scoring Offense - Washington - 10th
Scoring Margin - Washington - 10th
Blocked Shots Per Game - Washington - 12th
Won-Lost Percentage - Washington - 12th
Turnovers Per Game - Washington - 13th
This year (as of the most recent stats), five UAA teams have helped the UAA claim 15 spots in the top-25 across all categories (Brandeis, Chicago, NYU, Rochester, Wash):
Scoring Defense - Brandeis - 7th
Free-Throw Percentage - Brandeis - 9th
Scoring Margin - Brandeis - 23rd
Rebound Margin - Chicago - 4th
Field-Goal Percentage Defense - Chicago - 17th
Field-Goal Percentage Defense - NYU - 13th
Scoring Offense - NYU - 14th
Won-Lost Percentage - NYU - 14th
Scoring Margin - NYU - 16th
Free-Throw Percentage - NYU - 19th
Rebound Margin - NYU - 19th
Assists Per Game - Rochester - 13th
Won-Lost Percentage - Rochester - 14th
Three-Point Field-Goal Percentage - Rochester - 22nd
Rebound Margin - Washington - 21st
I think that speaks to overall increased strength of conference, as well as parody across the field...

dose NOT necessarily speak to an overall increased strength of the UAA BUT can be explained by parody across the field (an that parody I believe is due to decrease in quality rather then an increase)
Additionally, if you for example compare teams from lets say 2 or 3 years ago I am hard pressed to belive that this Wash U team is better then their current counterpart, ditto NYU, Rochester, Emory, CWR, CMU (from 3 years ago) and Brandeis. Chicago looks to be better then their previous counterpart.

So every team in Division III is down, as well? These are national rankings...and the UAA has more top spots by more teams this year.
I'll give you that Wash is barely "down," as may be Rochester and CWRU. But NYU, Chicago, Carnegie and Emory are up from years past, while Brandeis has been pretty much the same for the last four years. And keep in mind that Rochester and Wash are "down" and easily still rank in the top 20. So how "down" can the UAA be?

Teams down this year from the last few include Rochester, Washington and Brandeis
Teams up this year include Chicago, NYU, Emory and Carnegie
Holding steady is Case

Sunday I watched Chicago suffer its fifth loss in six games since reaching No. 1 in the NABC poll. The Maroons fell to Emory, 69-63.
This was the third time I had seen the Maroon women play -- the other two were the home wins against Wash U. and Rochester. In those games, UC played with a level of confidence that was notably absent for most of Sunday's loss.
I disagree with the statement that "everyone thinks they are Michael Jordan". The Maroons have been aggressive on offense the entire season, mostly to their benefit. The team was just out of sync on Sunday.
Credit the Emory coaching staff, and the Eagles' execution, for their defense on Nofi Mojidi. Emory was able to limit Mojidi's drives to the basket, as six of Nofi's 17 points came on desperation threes late in the game. On offense, the Eagles continued to free up Erica Kaplan for open looks, and Kaplan made the Maroons pay with 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting.
The bright spot for Chicago was probably the breakout performance of freshman Jill DiNucci (11 points, 8 rebounds -- both career highs). Jill showed a quick release and a nice shooting touch from 12-15 feet.

Hoops,
My point is that when things are taken away, these ladies have been playing ball long enough to realize that there is no need to FORCE everything, whether it is driving to the basket, or forcing jump shots. I have seen to many silly offensive fouls and to many bad drives and silly shots and just some crazy jump shots this year by players from all the teams in the conference. I still say its a team game and I think (I haven't looked it up) just from watching and looking at boxes that turnovers are up and assists are down league wide and I believe that effects the quality of play.
And I am standing by my statement that I think as a whole the UAA is down from the past 3-4 years...

Sunday's game at Ratner featured a combined 44 turnovers (25 by UC, 19 by Emory), so it certainly was ugly in that respect.
There must have been at least a half-dozen traveling violations called against each squad.

i agree. i have attended many d-3 games in different conferences and i can't get over the amount of unforced turnovers i see, especially traveling. many teams are really pathetic offensively, painful to watch.
my guess is many teams stress defense so much, the offense suffers. i see very few good offensive schemes that spread the floor well. i just think coaches don't teach any offensive skills,and every player needs to add more through their four year career. and boxing out is atrocious

It alternatively can be a consequence of having more demanding, organic offenses. Simpler ones don't feature the same explosiveness because they limit options, but they also may limit unforced turnovers as well. On the other hand, players who have to be thinking about a slew of options are going to sometimes be caught "in between" or "of two minds." The advantage is that when those offenses work and fit the personnel, they play naturally with easy buckets falling behind clueless defenders.
Not saying one way or the other what's happening in the UAA, but I don't think that there's necessarily a defense-heavy focus. It's certainly not true for every top team in the league.

Well, WashU has always known how to play defense. The offense has always depended on the individual skills of either the all-around stars, layup artists, or three-point shooters. That article Pat gave a link to showed how shocked the present team was to suddenly have to manufacture points without Manning and Beehler.
But then I don't know enough about basketball to recognize when a set play is being attempted. I only know enough to recognize desperation. ;)

Recap-- Friday's finals
Rochester def. Chicago, 64-59
Brandeis won @ Emory, 58-51
NYU won @ Case, 68-65
Wash U won @ Carnegie Mellon, 72-55
It's practically a 2 way battle for the UAA title between NYU and Wash U, with NYU needing a Rochester victory over Wash U on Sunday to have a shot to get the automatic "Pool A" bid on tiebreakers. A Wash U victory over Rochester on Sunday makes the Bears the favorite to get the automatic "Pool A" bid on tiebreakers. (NYU lost to Rochester at the Palestra earlier this season.)
If both NYU and Wash U finish in a first place tie at the end of the season, both NYU and Wash U will be co-champions of the UAA with the automatic bid going to the winner of the second tiebreaker-- which is results vs. the third place team(s), the fourth place teams, and so on until the tie is broken. NYU and Wash U split on the first tiebreaker, which is the head-to-head competition between the two.
However, IMO, it looks strong for the UAA to once again send 4 teams on the women's side to the NCAAs at this moment (Wash U, NYU, Rochester, and Brandeis.)
Rochester def. Chicago, 64-59
Brandeis won @ Emory, 58-51
NYU won @ Case, 68-65
Wash U won @ Carnegie Mellon, 72-55

NYU sophomore Jessica McEntee is looking like the forerunner for UAA Player of the Year. In UAA action (13 games), she's averaging 19.5 points and 14.2 rebounds - she leads the UAA in both. She's also in the top-10 in the UAA in field goal %, assists and minutes played.
From NYU's press release on today's Emory game:
McEntee notched her 15th double-double of the season in the first half alone with 26 points and 12 rebounds; she finished the game with 36 points and 18 caroms, while going 11-18 from the floor and 13-16 at the charity stripe. Her previous career high was 23 points set earlier this season on the road against the then-ranked #1 University of Chicago.
Historically speaking, McEntee's 36 points ties her for fourth all-time on the NYU single-game scoring...It was the second highest point total produced by a Violet in a UAA game, behind only the 37 that Marsha Harris poured in against Brandeis University on Feb. 15, 1998.
Jaime Capra (Brandeis), Nofi Mojidi (Chicago) and Lora Turner (Emory) look to be the only other candidates at this point.

Well, everyone knows that there is a winner take all game between Wash U and Chicago for the UAA automatic bid on the men's side this upcoming Saturday.
Here is the situation on the UAA women's side.
Currently, NYU and Wash U are tied for first with each team having an 11-2 record in UAA play.
Here are the four scenarios coming up as to which team will be awarded the UAA's Pool A automatic bid on the women's side depending on the results this Saturday:
1.) If Wash U defeats Chicago, and NYU defeats Brandeis:
Both Wash U and NYU would be declared UAA co-champions, with each team finishing 12-2 in UAA play. Since Wash U and NYU split the head-to-head series between each other (the UAA's first tiebreaker), we would go to the second tiebreaker in the UAA, which is best head-to-head record between the co-champions and the subsequent finishers in the standings in descending order until a representative is determined.
In this case, Brandeis would finish at 9-5 in the UAA, and Rochester would be tied for third with Brandeis at 9-5 if they beat Carnegie Mellon on Saturday. In that scenario, Wash U would be 4-0 vs. Rochester and Brandeis this season, while NYU would be 3-1 vs. Rochester and Brandeis. (NYU lost at Rochester on January 7). If Carnegie Mellon upset Rochester, then Brandeis would finish third and Rochester fourth. Since Wash U went 2-0 against Brandeis, and NYU also would be 2-0 vs. BRandeis, we would go on the fourth place finisher, Rochester, which would break the tie.
In short, Wash U gets the automatic bid to the NCAAs if both Wash U and NYU win on Saturday.
2.) If Wash U defeats Chicago, and Brandeis defeats NYU:
Wash U would be the sole UAA champion and would get the automatic bid.
3.) If Chicago defeats Wash U, and Brandeis defeats NYU.
Wash U and NYU would be co-champions at 11-3, with Brandeis clinching third place in the UAA with a 10-4 UAA record.
On the second tiebreaker, Wash U went 2-0 vs. Brandeis, and NYU would have gone 1-1 vs. Brandeis. Wash U would get the Pool A bid based on the records vs. the third place team, Brandeis.
4.) If Chicago defeats Wash U, and NYU defeats Brandeis:
NYU would be the sole UAA champion and would get the Pool A bid.
Here is the situation on the UAA women's side.
Currently, NYU and Wash U are tied for first with each team having an 11-2 record in UAA play.

To someone who witnessed how shaky the Bears were at the beginning of the season, it is amazing that they've gotten to the point that this is the only scenario in which they don't get the automatic bid. I had thought for sure that the streak was broken.

I think you should probably consider Jaime McFarlin and Rebecca Parker in discussions as well. I don't believe that points alone should be the only factor. McEntee has been phenomenal for NYU and I think probably a front runner, but if you compare her with the others, the two from Wash U should probably be in the discussion.
McFarlin: 11.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.31 blocks and shooting 52.9% from the field. If you watched the Rochester game on Sunday was pretty tough to stop.
Parker: 13.0 points, 10 rebounds, and shooting 48.9% from the field.
McEntee: 19.5 points, 14.2 rebounds, and shooting 46.8% from the field.
Capra: 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and shooting 37.7% from the field.
Mojidi: 14.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.69 steals, and shooting 44.2% from the field.
Turner: 13.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and shooting 47.2% from the field.
I think the difference that makes McEntee the best in my mind is the negative with each of the other candidates. For Parker and McFarlin, I think their FT percentages hurt their chances at 45% and 59% respectively. For Capra, I think it is her shooting percentage from the field and that her numbers just aren't quite as staggering as McEntee's. For Mojidi, I think it is her A/T ratio as she averages 1.75 turnovers for every assist. For Turner, I think it is also her A/T as she gets 5 turnovers for every assist and also her FT percentage of 57.7%.
All in all, they all are great athletes and McEntee is the frontrunner in my mind but I think McFarlin and probably Parker have stats that warrant their inculsion in the conversation.

The NYU game is a big test for the Brandeis women who had the Violets seemingly beat at Brandeis until a collapse at the end of the game. They've played well all season but their one problem seems to be finding a "closer" to just end the other team when they have a lead at the end of games.
The same thing happen against WashU at home who outscored Brandeis 14-3 over the final 3:26 of the contest.
Brandeis needs a huge game from Malcolm to get her back in the swing of things and for the team to win this game, and, most probably, clinch a NCAA berth

was speaking with a friend in Waltham today and they told me that someone at Brandeis told them that based on record and qowi that they are in the NCAA's today win or lose at NYU and that they expect to host the first round of the tourny. Is that possible? I mean I see that they are over 10.6 in the QOWI but a loss at NYU would bring that down, they only play 24 NOT 25 games and they had one win out of region. Granted they did beat the Maroons twice and Rochester once, but with 5 losses and that cupcake out of conference schedule why would they be "in not matter what happens today" when a team like Chicago if they beat Wash U would not. Chicago had a much tougher out of conference schedule and ok they lost at NYU and Brandeis and Rochester but all couple of point games. Maybe Coach Simon does it right if you get in the tourny by beating teams with 3 wins, 5 wins, 6 wins and it pays off better then beating teams with 12, 13, 15 wins

Brandeis did beat St. Lawrence (21-2), Endicott (18-9), Wheaton (Mass.) (17-9), Worcester (19-6) and Tufts (17-7) so that's not exactly correct there Nancy. In the past Brandeis has played a weaker out of conference schedule but the past couple of years they've beefed it up a bit.

Final from the Wash U Field House:
Washington 80, Chicago 75 (OT)
Kudos to both teams on what, from the KWUR broadcast, was a tremendous basketball game. The Bears were led by seniors Sarah Schell and Rebecca Parker. Parker posted a 20-20 effort and even led off OT with a three-pointer.
Congratulations to Coach Nancy Fahey and the Bears for rebounding from a slow start to capture yet another UAA title in a tremendous year for UAA women's basketball.
As for Chicago, the season may not have ended the way the Maroons would have liked, but they deserve major credit for fighting Wash U tooth and nail in St. Louis. If the selection committee passes the Maroons over on Sunday, I want to say thanks to the players for all the memories and excitement this season.

I have infiltrated this board a couple of times this season to say that I did not think Wash U was as good as their rankings, and that they wouldn't go far in the NCAA tournament. Yesterday I caught the last 7 minutes of regulation, plus the overtime of their game with with Chicago. That was the best 12 minutes of women's basketball I've seen this season. If the Bears can continue to play with the poise and intensity that I saw yesterday, then they have a legitimate shot to advance deep into the tournament. Good luck Wash U.

Starting last year, it is only the top two schools/seeds in the regional rankings for each region that have the shot of hosting 1st and 2nd round games.
I expect that Bowdoin and Emmanuel will be the Northeast Region teams that will be hosting 1st and 2nd round games (in 4 team pods) this upcoming weekend, and I hope that when the bracket gets released within the next hour, that the Brandeis women will be able to play at the Jean Yawkey Center on the Emmanuel campus in Boston this weekend rather than having to make a return trip to Bowdoin's Morrell Gym in Brunswick, Maine.
And yes, Brandeis would not be able to host Friday or Saturday games this weekend due to the their hosting the UAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Events would be held from 2 to 6 PM Eastern on Friday, and from 10 AM Eastern on Saturday-- there would be no way to get the basketball court available for the first and second round games.

The bracket is out!
Brandeis is going to the Jean Yawkey Center on the campus of Emmanuel College in the Fenway in Boston, MA for this upcoming weekend's first and second round games.
Brandeis will be playing in the first game on Friday against Maine-Farmington.
Brandeis's first round opponent is the North Atlantic Conference's automatic qualifier, the Maine-Farmington Beavers, coached by Jaime Beaudoin. Maine-Farmington swept the season series against the Maine Maritime Mariners, defeating the Mariners three times during the season to capture the North Atlantic Conference championship. Maine Maritime defeated Bowdoin earlier this season.
Maine-Farmington is led by Kari Simpson (Wells, Maine), who played against Brandeis alum Christine Clancy '06 in high school and was Clancy's high school arch-rival. This will be a top quality first round match for the Brandeis Judges.
The second first round game on Friday will pit the host Emmanuel Saints against the Commonwealth Coast Conference's automatic qualifier, the Salve Regina Seahawks. Emmanuel is favored to win that game.
Brandeis will probably be playing Emmanuel if the Judges win on Friday. I will probably not be going to the Brandeis/Maine-Farmington match because I want to see the Brandeis men take on Trinity (CT) in Providence, RI on Friday, but I will see the second round match at Emmanuel on Saturday if the Brandeis women win on Friday. (Both Brandeis teams play first on Friday, leaving me with a decision of where to go this weekend.)
Brandeis is going to the Jean Yawkey Center on the campus of Emmanuel College in the Fenway in Boston, MA for this upcoming weekend's first and second round games.
Brandeis will be playing in the first game on Friday against Maine-Farmington.
Brandeis's first round opponent is the North Atlantic Conference's automatic qualifier, the Maine-Farmington Beavers, coached by Jaime Beaudoin. Maine-Farmington swept the season series against the Maine Maritime Mariners, defeating the Mariners three times during the season to capture the North Atlantic Conference championship. Maine Maritime defeated Bowdoin earlier this season.
Maine-Farmington is led by Kari Simpson (Wells, Maine), who played against Brandeis alum Christine Clancy '06 in high school and was Clancy's high school arch-rival. This will be a top quality first round match for the Brandeis Judges.
The second first round game on Friday will pit the host Emmanuel Saints against the Commonwealth Coast Conference's automatic qualifier, the Salve Regina Seahawks. Emmanuel is favored to win that game.

Do you know when the times of the games are announced? I expect the Brandeis men and women to be playing at the same time which would be a logistical nightmare in a lot of ways for Brandeis fans who have been out in large force getting to the games this season (they dominated the NYU crowd at times on Saturday).
It would also be a fun time for the broadcast team... :)
Am I judging by your previous statement, Allan, that you think that the women have a better chance of advancing than the men?

Well, the start time for the Brandeis men's game in Providence on Friday has been set for 6 PM Eastern. Emmanuel has not yet set the start time for the first game on Friday, which would be the Brandeis v. Maine-Farmington match, but I would expect that the start time for that game would also be no later than 6 PM Eastern, which would mean that both games would be playing simultaneously. It is an NCAA tournament rule that the host school must play in the second game on Fridays, so nothing can really be done about that.
This definitely means that the Brandeis fan base would have to be split up this weekend, with some going to the men's games and some going to the women's games.
The women's games are a subway ride away from the Brandeis campus-- Emmanuel is at the Fenway stop on the "D"/ Riverside branch of the MBTA's Green Line, while the men's games would require an MBTA commuter train ride from South Station or Back Bay in Boston, MA to Providence, RI and then a RIPTA bus ride from Kennedy Plaza to the RI College campus. I would suggest that Brandeis send a fan bus to Providence for those people wanting to root on the Brandeis men's basketball teams this weekend-- I can take the commuter rail from Canton Junction to Providence for Friday's games (and for me, the train ride from Canton, MA to Providence, RI is cheaper, thanks to the way that the MBTA prices its commuter rail fares!)
I make no predictions about who wins Friday's games at this time-- I hope that both Brandeis teams win on Friday. I made my decision based on the fact that the Brandeis men are making their first appearance in the NCAAs in years, while the Brandeis women competed last year in the NCAA tournament, as well as the costs of the commuter train fares, as well as which of Friday's matchups intrigued me better (the men won out-- barely.). (And yes, maybe the Brandeis v. Trinity (CT) men's game is the more difficult of the two at first glance, but you can't be 100% certain of that, can you-- these women from Maine can play, too! :).
Another note of trivia about Maine-Farmington. One of the starting five for the Beavers is frosh Caitlyn Laflin (5'10")-- she is a former high school teammate of Brandeis's Chelsey Dionne, and both Laflin and Dionne were 1,000 pt. scorers for Hall-Dale. Laflin averages 14.2 ppg and 6.3 rpg for Maine-Farmington.

It's old opponent's weekend for the WashU women as they play Manchester College in the first round for the second straight year and then play either host Lake Forrest College or Maryville (MO), both of whom they've played this year.
http://bearsports.wustl.edu/releases/wbk2-27-07.html
Maryville they've been playing every year recently along with fellow close SLIAC teams Fontbonne and Webster.
Lake College was the one who tied the game up on a NBA length three pointer and a half court buzzer beater.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade (i.e. Brandies fans), but I don't think Brandeis has a real chance of getting out of the first round. Now granted, I am an NYU fan, biased to say the least.
I know that Allen saw the NYU-Brandeis game and needless to say, the stars of Brandeis (Capra and Malcolm) are shining a little less bright than in prior years. It will come down to Brandeis's seniors, they will be the deciding factor. I saw Caitlin play in high school and in college (Karen Bachman of NYU is my sister), and she has had some pretty dominant games where she is the deciding factor; she needs another one versus Maine-Farmington.
Good luck Brandeis! By the way, the sleeper pick of the tournament is NYU to win it all. Quinn feels as if their team today is better than when they won it all...Plus, they have an easier bracket. Thoughts??

I would actually disagree, I think Brandeis has one of the easiest first round matchups and possible second round matchup in the tournament. Nothing against Maine-Farmington, any time you only lose 3 games and dont lose a single game in conference that is impressive, but i do see it being a team Brandeis will match up well against. Assuming they win and play emmanual in the second round a team they have been ranked either right ahead of or right below in the national top 25, i think this is another team that bosts a strong record from a not so strong conference, that Brandeis will matchup well against. Aside from the close call at Wheaton, the Lady Judges handled its new england regional games with ease, and I expect them to do so now.
I am not going to make a bold projection like calling them a sleeper to win it all. I was at the NYU game, and think NYU has a very strong team, especially with their star putting up 30+, however I do think the judges will make it to the sweet 16.

It will be a great game, a mention of laflin on the UMF yeah she is not bad but Simpson is the one Brandeis is going to have to stop. UMF's all-time leading scorer 1700 and change and rebounds 850 and change. Not to mention the NAC Tourney MVP 3 out of her 4 years at UMF. If Brandeis is to win they will have to stop Simpson period.

It's possible that Brandeis makes it to Sweet Sixteen, I'll give you that...But it's not probable. And yes, NYU looks great when their "star" puts up 30+ (only the second time this season thats happened, by the way), but they also have three people averaging double figures and two more averaging 8 or more points.
I agree NYU is not really a sleeper at all, but to look at the d3hoops.com rankings, you'd think they were. The UAA, I think we all agree, is one of the toughest, if not the toughest in D3 Women's Basketball, and NYU dominated; beating Wash. U. by the biggest margin in their history, after a loss to the Bears. When they're pumped up, you can't stop them--they'll be pumped up at home for two rounds...Fixing to be a great tournament!!
And I would like to see Brandeis make it to the Sweet Sixteen (despite the echos of DEIS! DEIS! DEIS! ringing in my ears), but it'll be tough. Good luck to all!!

U. by the biggest margin in their history, after a loss to the Bears.
The D3Hoops rankings have NYU as #6 in the country. How does that make them look like a sleeper? They were number 1 in the final published regional rankings for the East region and ranked #4 in the next to last WBCA poll which they will probably move to #3 this week. They are also #4 in the Massey ratings (#5 if you include MOV). I think by everyone's account, NYU is considered a favorite to go deep into the tourney. They also have a very favorable bracket to make a run.
According to Massey, the UAA is considered the toughest conference so NYU being the co-champion of that conference does put them as a favorite to be a contender. I am not sure anyone on D3hoops or anywhere else would say NYU is a sleeper team.
I think what is cool is the potential to have an all UAA Final Four if everyone wins out. While it is highly unlikely, don't believe that possibility has ever been present before as Rochester and NYU have almost always had to play each other to have either get to the Final Four.
I think as opposed to being a sleeper, NYU is going to have alot of pressure to live up to their ranking and make the Final Four cause many many people will be expecting them to make it there.
Also, NYU was great in the UAA and did beat Wash U badly at NYU but I would not say they dominated. They finished tied with Wash U, did not receive the automatic bid, lost to Wash U in St Louis U and lost to Rochester at Rochester by 13 where Wash U beat the same Rochester team at Rochester by 15. I saw them play and agree they are talented and deep but they did not dominate the UAA. Domination would be having gone 14-0 and winning every game by double digits. They just excelled in the UAA. On the other hand...they did DOMINATE the East.

Bach and Bearsfan, I DISAGREED ON ALL COUNTS
1-I can't believe that Quinn thinks this is her best NYU team, heck I am standing by my earier posts claiming the UAA was stronger 3 years ago. Huhn, Higgier, Wojo, D'Ambrosio was a better team then this years team...ALTHOUGH....I think that this years star, McAntee is more dominating then Wojo. That being said, with the home court advantage NYU should make a strong run.
2-Its crazy how much easier this years match ups are for Brandeis...let see a really strong Salem State and then Bowdoin at home with 70 straight wins compared to M-F and then probably Emmanuel...Brandeis could easily advance because I am told that Emmanuel is not that strong. Also, Brandeis has gone from a team oriented offense to more of a one on one kind of team as compared to previous years and ultimately I think that will be their down fall.

I don't know, newton, this year's team hasn't reached their peak yet, and that's important...I do agree though, if Quinn is serious (it might be lip service, but I don't think so), she must see a synergy between this team and something that wasn't there with Huhn, Higier, D'Ambrosio and Woj. That ultimately will make the difference in tourney play...I think.

BUT- Every game is going to be tough. No bad teams in this tourney. Any one can win.
Don't worry about OPINION polls either, they are meaningless.
Not sure what planet Newton is from - no Wojo team was good

In the one game I saw, NYU was by far the cream of the UAA crop. Athletic offense, sniper-like defense, and that well-earned swagger that flat out intimidates.
They were underrated all year long, though they probably aren't anymore.

It was kind of hard to justify ranking NYU highly right out of the box, considering they went 18-8 last year, lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on an neutral floor, and played one Top 100 opponent before Jan. 5.
Once they got into the decent teams on their schedule, they moved up appropriately.

Thanks for the compliment wonder woman, it's certainly appreciated. I must admit, I feel a little like a soccer mom with the sort of excitement I have for this tournmanent! I am looking forward to some great matchups!
Obviously NYU did move up in the rankings, and I would agree they were not that competetitve last year (injuries played a part in that), but I think considering the tougher schedule towards the end of the season, the road wins (any UAA road win should be cherished, it's just sooo hard), NYU perhaps has a case for being ranked even higher...Perhaps I'm splitting hairs here, and I probably am...

Point taken, but it also highlights one of the problems with polls. I didn't think much of the Violets until I saw them. After that, I saw them as the best team in the UAA.
If everybody could have seen them, I'm guessing they would have gotten the proper respect earlier.

I wanted to alert you all to the WBRS broadcasts of the Brandeis games (www.wbrs.org). Since both teams are playing at (about) the same time, we're going to be doing some shuffling on the broadcasts.
On Friday night, we're going to be broadcasting the women's game live at Emmanuel College. We'll start with a pregame which will go right up until tip at 5:30. We'll also have a team in Providence to broadcast the men's game, but that game will be recorded and played on Saturday at 4 PM. During timeouts and if the women's game ends earlier, we will go to the men's game to get updates.
On Saturday, it gets a little more complicated. We'll first broadcast the taped men's game for those who want to hear it. If both teams win, the roles are switched and we'll announce the men's game live and the women's game taped. If the men lose and the women win, we'll go to the women's game live. I believe both of those games will be live at 7 PM with a pregame before. I'm not exactly sure when the women's game will be broadcast on the air if both teams win, but we'll worry about that later.
We've been in contact with our provider to get more slots so none of you should be shut out of the webcast if you want to listen in (though, if you're in the Waltham/Newton/Boston area, tune to 100.1 FM). Sorry for the long post, but I figured I should let you all know the deal.
I heard that there will be a student bus to both games (I'm a graduate student and they leave me off the undergrad mailserv) so hopefully there will be a large Brandeis fan showing at both games as there's been at all the home games and even some away games (from the vantage point of the broadcast booth, the Brandeis fans were louder at NYU than the home team). It's going to be an exciting weekend for all the UAA teams in the tournament. I don't see why all shouldn't be playing some more basketball after this weekend is done.

I know the question was not asked to me but I think I am capable of answering this question. I do not think that this team is better head to head than the ECAC teams that I think were snubbed from the tournament. These teams reached as high as 3rd in the national rankings and I think played much better ball. However this team seems to be playing better against competitions, perhaps getting lucky. They certainly are not shooting the ball very well, since Malcom is being double or triple teamed, Capra is getting some looks. However many times shooting is near or below 30%. The saving grace I think right now may be defense. Often times when the Judges are shooting poorly the other team is forcing shots as well. The two freshmen guards are great to watch and are very big contributers to the team, they will be ones to look out for, for the next 3 years as well.

Hey I Live...
I agree, I have heard good things about the freshmen as well.
I agree with regard to the ECAC teams, and they were as high as #2 last year and #3 the previous year. One thing that bothers me is all the EXCUSES for Malcom and Capra. Granted Malcolm gets double and triple teamed but Fitzpatrick was doubled and tripled as well and her scoring and shooting percentage never really dropped and she may still be the all time UAA leader in FG%, so the doubles and triples are a part of the D3game...ask Hutchens and all the other BIG girls over the years. Regarding Capra, boy she has a PR department. She was shooting 48+% through the first 12 games and finished the year at 36% or ther about, whats that tell you (and that with the huge game against Rochester that her "fan" pointed out). I just think that the current team is not made to play one on one as they do and I still think that is what made the past several years teams so tough.
Regarding my Maroons, does anyone know if there has ever been a team ranked #1 in the nation in late January that DIDN't make the big dance...what a disappointment
I agree, I have heard good things about the freshmen as well.
I agree with regard to the ECAC teams, and they were as high as #2 last year and #3 the previous year. One thing that bothers me is all the EXCUSES for Malcom and Capra. Granted Malcolm gets double and triple teamed but Fitzpatrick was doubled and tripled as well and her scoring and shooting percentage never really dropped and she may still be the all time UAA leader in FG%, so the doubles and triples are a part of the D3game...ask Hutchens and all the other BIG girls over the years. Regarding Capra, boy she has a PR department. She was shooting 48+% through the first 12 games and finished the year at 36% or ther about, whats that tell you (and that with the huge game against Rochester that her "fan" pointed out).

This goes out to Brandeis fans. I think anyone that has seen Brandeis play knows the team they are capable of being. Unfortunately, they are capable of being downright mediocre at times. Malcolm can look like a genius at times, at others, she looks lethargic and apathetic. Capra I am wary of as well, I like her game, but not always. They stick around and that is really an intangible when it comes to tournament play, but it takes more than just sticking around. You need the killer instinct and sometimes they've got it. Sometimes not.
About the Maroons, Nancy. I really like their team. I think the #1 (on WBCA, not D3) was preliminary, but they are an explosive team, when they're on. What do you think was the catalyst to the downfall?? Was it too hyped up? They are so dangerous (ask Wash. U.) it would have been great if they could have turned it around.

Going back to the old question. I think that the Brandeis women's team last year was the best I've seen. I think they got screwed in the seedings (how didn't they host a pod last year?) and ended up going head-to-head against those Bowdoin women who happen not to lose at home very often. Still, even with that, they gave Bowdoin a win for their money. I mean this was a game not many people gave them a chance but they fought back and fought back and had the game tied late in the second half.
They lost Clancy and Demartino off that roster from last year and it's turned out to be a lot more than they can handle at times. Clancy was huge for them in the tournament last year and Demart was their all-time leader in assists and while I think the point guards for Brandeis this year have done a great job, they miss her ability to just calm everyone down at times.
That being said, I hope that d3hoops.com pick of Brandeis as the most likely to disappoint is erased quite early.
BachDog, I disagree with you assessment of Malcolm and Capra. Malcolm has been double and tripled teamed all year, i think a lot due to Clancy not being there. I think it's just been tough for her to get open and score and at times she seems frustrated. And Capra is the one player who seems to be moving the entire game. She played the tournmanet last year with her arm hanging by a thread on that shoulder.
I do like what i saw with NYU this year. The biggest problem i can see for them is if one team can shut down McEntee (or get her in foul trouble) because none of the other players seem to be true scorers. But if she's going they have a pretty lethal inside/outside game that can bury whatever team they play.

Believe it or not, Katz, I agree with your assessment on NYU. Although, I haven't yet seen anyone stop McEntee. That's not bias or anything, I haven't seen it happen. Sometimes I think she is being stopped and then by the end of game she has 24 points. A lot of that has to do with how many points at the stripe she takes (last game against Brandeis it was 17 points from the line). She will take it to the basket, get fouled, make 2 shots.
But, if someone does figure out a way to stop McEntee, you're right, the only true "scorer" on the team is Ryba. Ryba vacillates between being an all-conference player and a non-issue, but she can play too. NYU thrives when they play McEntee in the post and have their perimeter game work off of that, not the other way around. Also, take into consideration that three other NYU players average double figures in points, and two are averaging over eight points.
As for Malcolm, is it just me, or do the double and triple teams really affect her? I mean, at times in both the NYU at Brandeis game, and the Brandeis at NYU games, she just looked flat out tired. I know she's a big girl, tough as nails with some pretty post moves, but it's a long season and I think she's tired...Hopefully this week they're are well rested. The thing I respect most about Brandeis is their defense. They can win on defense in the first round (not a given), maybe the second round as well. They need their seniors to be leaders and then they have a shot.
Brandeis last year was a really, really great team. I think a lot of pressure was off Malcolm, and the difference this year is that the pressure IS on her. How she deals with that pressure will be the deciding factor I think. How does the starting five of Maine-Farmington stack up against Brandeis do you think?

All BrW teams since 2003-04 have been top notch teams and deserving of their respective Top 25 status. The 03-04 team, however, while maybe not the "best" should be recognized bc they turned the program around. That season they went from UAA doormats to legitimate contenders and, I would think, made the program a viable choice for talented recruits. The team had great chemistry, was unselfish (led UAA teams in assists w/481), played hard nosed D and knew how to get the ball to their best player and scorer (Fitzpatrick/55% FG), who was also regularly doubled and tripled. With outstanding frosh Malcolm & Grzyb coming off the bench they were solid and exciting. A crucial away loss to UC late in the season probably nixed any outside chance for NCAA's. Just my two cents.........Anyway, good luck to both woman and men in the tourney. Kudos to all the players and coaches. P.S. they beat NYU twice that year........ maybe for the first time?

Gryzb is still here but she left the team. I think if they had her last year, they would have been even better. The one thing they lacked last year seemed to have been depth at the shooting guard spot and she would have definitely given them that.
I agree, though, with the argument that the team a few years ago with Fitzpatrick may have had the best players but they didn't seem to gel as a team until the end (when they took home the ECACs). If this group can get together and gel, they can be dominant. But the problem is that they've been way too streaky at times. I disected this as big runs during the NYU game:
0-7
3-16
14-5
7-0
2-14
12-4
They certainly have the ability in there but streaky play like that can bury a team and this team has a lot of young players who play regularly...
I really think they can make it out of this first round game, but they need to play their defensive game. They came into the NYU games ranked 10th in the nation in scoring defense and gave up a season high 79 points. If they do that, they're probably going to lose against UMF.

no matter what the previous years Brandeis teams set the table for this years fairly safe seeding, when you think about the 2 ECAC teams, they really got shafted out of an NCAA bid, I remember 2 years ago clearly when they were 20-4 during the regular season with the final day loss to NYU at NYU and I was shocked they didn't get in. They could have done some damage. BUT, those 2 ECAC Championships set the table for a program that had NO REPUTATION, well a bad one as they had like 9-10 losing seasons prior, guess they had to prove the program deserved to be in, then last year they got as tough a draw as you could get.......so this years squad benefited from those who came before. Let hope they can take advantage of it.

Keys to the women's tournament game
By Zach Aronow
As the Brandeis women's basketball team heads off to Emmanuel to take on Maine-Farmington, here are some keys that we at the Hoot feel are necessary for the Judges if they hope to advance deep into the playoffs.
1. Ball movement and shot selection. With Caitlin Malcolm '07 facing double and triple teams in the middle, it is vital that the Judges are able to make passes along the perimeter and work for the open shot. Criticism has been that the team has been at times ineffective in moving both with and without the ball, throwing it around before settling for a long-range shot. The offense needs to work the ball and make those high-percentage shots.
2. Drive the lane. Brandeis was second in the UAA with a 73.6% clip from the free throw line. NYU struggles aside, free throw shooting has been a hallmark for the Judges. With that in mind, the team needs to drive the lane, pick up the fouls and make the baskets at the free throw line.
3. Jaime Capra '08. With Malcolm facing a swarm every time she has the ball, Capra has become the offensive powerhouse, leading the way with 15.1 points per game. As a result teams are likely going to try and double her along with Malcolm. Tying in once again with good ball movement, the Judges need to do what they can to help Capra get the open looks. When she gets going, it makes getting inside the post easier for all. As Coach Carol Simon stated, Capra does have the advantage of being a perimeter player which makes her tougher to defend.
4. Depth. What the team lacks in experience (compared to last year's squad), they make up for in depth. Rookie guard Jessica Chapin '10 is a spark plug off the bench, averaging 7.9 points per game and was second on the team in three-point field goal percentage. Fellow rookie guard Lauren Rashford '10 also provided support in the form of 27 steals along with 3.3 points. Cassidy Dadaos '09 in her first full year provided four rebounds along with 3.9 points, and Carmela Breslin '10 in 17 games, shot a scintillating .438 clip from beyond the arc.
5. Who steps up for the post-season? This ties in with the importance of depth. Observers watching last year's post-season squad expected Malcolm or Capra to lead the way and instead saw the team get past Salem State. Thanks for that success went to Christine Clancy '06 and Alison Chase '07, the pair of whom almost single-handedly succeeded in pushing Brandeis past Bowdoin College. If Malcolm and/or Capra struggle, who will provide the heroics?
6. Offense wins games, defense wins championships. Brandeis finished first in the UAA in scoring defense and 3-point defense. This will be helpful because the Maine-Farmington Beavers have a very strong offense, led by the potent trio of center Kari Simpson (15.8 points, 8.6 rebounds per game), guard Karen Sirois (12.0 points, 4.7 assists) and NAC Rookie of the Year Caitlyn Laflin (14.2 ppg). If Brandeis wants to advance, they need to keep at least two of them in check; the stats indicate Brandeis has the capability to do it.
7. The last major key is simply consistency. Three out of the Judge's five losses came from a very poor performance in one half that offset a great performance earlier or later in the game. In both of their meetings against NYU, Brandeis was undone by a poor second half performance. In New York last Saturday, the Judges trailed by 16 and were unable to close the gap. While it is true that in a tough conference like the UAA, teams will struggle for a stretch, the fact remains that Brandeis cannot start or end sluggishly and expect to advance.
There you have it – seven keys to Brandeis victory. It might be easy to admit that these keys are rather obvious and could apply to anyone, but after all, it is taking care of the important business that makes a contender. Last year, Brandeis nearly knocked off a team that went to the "elite eight" and with their depth and skill level, there is good reason to assume that the Judges can at least match their progress from last year, and even surpass it.

There are a few reasons, but one you cannot underestimate is how dependent this team was on its freshmen. Don't get me wrong: They were great and a big part of the reason the Maroons were so good this year. But you're talking about a conference with some of the nation's best coaches, who can expose flaws of inexperience. Chicago lost five of seven games by five points or less, so you're not talking about a team lacking talent but rather the closing touch.
Definitely ask Wash U if you want to get a feel of how dangerous Chicago was. The two games this season were grind-it-out battles, and the Bears took the last affair on some incredibly classy performances by Schell and Parker. Both teams deserved a win, but Wash U earned the victory with some great late play.
On Chicago's side, that showed that were a tournament-worthy team this year (in terms of quality, not necessarily credentials) and that another season learning their ever-developing offense should prove wonders.

On the keys to Brandeis going far, I think it all comes down to who can step up, specifically in the post position. They've had to rotate the 2nd post all year, with Orlando and Dadaos playing big roles but others seeing some time as well (Wells saw a good amount of time for the first time since UAA play started really). Last year they had Clancy inside, who I agree was a big, probably underrated, part of their success. This year, they're deep in guards, but will definately need that 2nd post to score some points, if not just free up Malcom.

Mark,
If a double-double is a stop, I must be talking about a different sport where over ten points and ten rebounds is bad. It doesn't matter what's "low" for her, a double-double is a double-double. Go to www.nyu.edu/athletics and look at the boxscores there and you'll see a pretty distinct transition in McEntee's game that is palpable (she wasn't even top scorer in most of the contests until a quarter into the season). Jess doesn't need to score thirty points a game if other people (over thirty point victory last night, Ryba with sixteen) can share the burden.
Now that about that Wash. U game, look at the next game (the one where Wash U. lost by thirty!) and Jess wasn't the high scorer there either. What's your point??

Congrats to the 3 UAA teams moving on to the Sweet 16 and Brandeis should be ashamed of themselves, losing is what is arguably the easiest pod to get out of, especially after taking a 13 point lead. I have seen a lot of games and freshmen or not 35 turnovers I am sure are the most in at least the past 5 years. Also, Howard she still can't shoot and I will still argue that she gathers stats against the pitiful teams they play, including MF last night. Granted everyone has a good game or two against top quality competition once in a while, but her stats are built against the weak sisters and Brandeis would have had a better season had they tried to (maybe the guards couldn't make it happen) keep Malcom as the go to player.

Not a lot of shame in losing on the road to a team that hasn't lost at home all year, Nancy.
Congrats to the Judges on a great year. We'll miss you, Caitlin and Alison!

Congratulations to Caitlin Malcolm and Alison Chase for their fine 4 years of service to the Brandeis Judges. I will miss you both, and I hope that you will find success in whatever paths life takes you in the future.
I'm glad to see that Caitlin Malcolm got a double-double last night for the Judges. I heard from Mr. Paul last night that Emmanuel coach Andy Yosinoff said after the game that if Emmanuel had Caitlin Malcolm on the team this year, the Saints would be heavily favored to make it to their second Final Four.
Nothing to be ashamed of out of this game-= both teams brought their "A" games. (I wished that the officiating could have been better on both sides of the ball, but you have to take the crew that was assigned to the game.) This Emmanuel press defense is definitely better than the press that the 2000-2001 Emmanuel team that was captained by my good friend Brianne Bognanno had when the Saints defeated NYU at the Coles Center in the Elite 8 (yes, in the same year that Dari Magyar hit that "Miracle in Manhattan" shot to defeat Wash U) and played in the Final Four against Tasha Rodgers and the Wash U juggernaut team in Danbury. The 2000-2001 Emmanuel press defense was mostly aided by a home court in Marian Hall Gym that was 10 feet shorter than regulation size-- so the Saints had to adjust their press defense on regulation sized courts. This Emmanuel press was made for regulation sized courts.
In addition, I have always felt that while Emmanuel coach Andy Yosinoff may not be the most detailed of coaches when it comes to game preparation, he is one of the best coaches when it comes to making adjustments during the course of a game, and he proved it last night.
This Emmanuel team is right up there with the 2000-2001 Saints team. I saw the previous Saints team in 2000-2001 having to go up against Cortland State in the Sweet 16 (game played at the Coles Center) when Cortland had a 6 ft. 5 in center in the starting lineup (in Kate Smith), and the Saints won that game, so this match last night between Brandeis and Emmanuel could easily have gone either way-- the Saints just happened to defeat my 'Deis team last night and ended the 2006-2007 campaign for Brandeis-- but I have no regrets in defeat.
To Jaime Capra, Jessica Chapin, Lauren Orlando, Kiersten Holgash, and the rest of the Brandeis team-- you gave it your all last night, and I am very proud of you.

Andy Yosinoff just happens to be one of the best coaches in DIII at making game-time adjustments, and Emmanuel just so happens to be currently running a press defense that is better than the press defense that the 2000-2001 Emmanuel Final Four team that went to Danbury used.
Emmanuel just ran their game better last night, that is all, but both teams gave it their all on the floor. An "A" game as a way of describing the way both teams worked with the ball might be a bit of a misnomer when you see the box score, newtonnancy, but you haven't seen Emmanuel in person this year like I have. (And last night was not the first time that I have seen Emmanuel this season.) 35 turnovers is a season high for Brandeis, but the turnovers were more because of what Emmanuel did right in the game than what Brandeis did wrong-- Emmanuel stole the ball 20 times, and forced Brandeis to cough it up at least 10 more times. Only 5 of those turnovers would be what I would consider to be unforced, and yes, I would not expect to win a ballgame while turning the ball over 35 times. Most of those turnovers came in the second half of the game when coach Yosinoff made his adjustments. I could only imagine the current Chicago team running their game as well as Emmanuel did last night-- Chicago would be in the sweet 16, too.
I was using the "A" game term to describe my feeling that both teams left it all out on the court rather than my belief that both teams executed their games to perfection.
By the way, some more Chicago news--
Congratulations to Chicago's Nofi Mojidi on winning the 55 meter dash and the 200 meter dash at the UAA Indoor Track and Field Championships that were held at the Gosman Fieldhouse at Brandeis yesterday.
And in other news--
Emmanuel will be hosting a sectional next weekend for the first time in the history of the school. DePauw and Calvin will be flying to Boston, and the winner of today's Fitchburg State/S. Maine game will also be playing at the Jean Yawkey Center next Friday. First game on Friday will have Calvin going up against the winner of Fitchburg State/S. Maine. Emmanuel will be playing DePauw in the second game on Friday. Winners will be playing on Saturday for the right to go to Springfield. With the way that Emmanuel is playing right now, don't be surprised if Emmanuel makes it to their second Final Four after next week's sectionals conclude.
NYU, Luther, and Scranton are the other sectional sites.

Depends what you mean by stop:

She had 13 rebounds, but only 13 points, which is low for her.
Quote
Mark,
If a double-double is a stop, I must be talking about a different sport where over ten points and ten rebounds is bad. It doesn't matter what's "low" for her, a double-double is a double-double.
Exactly what is vague about "Depends what you mean by stop"?
I'm probably making a mistake in replying, but if McEntee is transcending the UAA, are McFarlin and Parker nearly doing so considering that they were both just trailing McEntee for most of the season in double-doubles?
I was just pointing out that McEntee hadn't scored as much as she had in other games. From a quick look at the NYU web site there are at least 13 other games in which she's scored more. That had nothing to do with the WashU defense?
I said nothing about her not being a serious force in the game, which was certainly evidenced by her 13 rebounds.

The only thing Brandeis should be ashamed of is a few key coaching blunders last night. How you leave your senior gaurd on the bench for the final 17 minutes of an NCAA tournament game, hanging tired and less experienced players out to dry is absolutely beyond me. Before the season, I read all these quotes from Coach Simon stating that guard Ali Chase '07 is a defensive star, a solid player, and "our stealth bomber". Unfortunately, it seems that she stealthed her way out of the Brandeis gameplan, thus they fought offense with offense last night (as they've panicked and tried to do a few times this season), and lost, that simple. Not quite sure what was going on there.
As to Newtonnancy's comment on the guards not being able to get Malcom the ball, it's alot more difficult without the defense playing for two star posts inside. For the previous 3 or 4 years, teams have had to deal with Fitzy, Clancy, Malcom, etc., and that definately opened things up for the guards. I mean, how do you think DeMartino racked up all those assists in the first place... But I digress...
Finally, thank you to the Brandeis seniors for the past four years, as well as the entire Brandeis team and staff. You have helped catapult Brandeis to a new level for the school, winning the ECACs and making the NCAAs for the first time in school history, and for that you deserve far more congratulations than I can give.

Sorry to call you out, but this is just ridiculous. Aside from one game, there was no shame in those losses. Close games against some very good teams. They did not give up or coast. They were a competitive team that came out to a great start and was probably too young to finish it off. There's no waste in that if you don't specifically set the postseason as your goal... yes, you want to get there, but I wouldn't be ashamed of what was still a good season. That's how it sometimes works in a top-tier league.
I'm not defending the other comment about Brandeis being ashamed of its performance, but you don't have to go sliding through the mud either.

Clarification completely accepted, nescac hoops. I was hoping that's what you meant, as most people here would agree that the vast majority of athletes deserve tons of credit for what they do. You just can't always tell on message boards...
To be fair to Nancy, she's criticized her own team plenty, so it's not so much the consistency that's the issue but rather the tone. I love analyzing these teams too, and I definitely evaluate them critically. I just like to be a bit more neutral and tempered about it.

OK..... maybe using the word ASHAMED is to harsh a word and I apologize.
But, I would think that the coaches were salivating when they saw the draw they got, arguably the easiest draw in the tourney and just a few miles from home and to go ahead by 13 points midway in the first half and give that game back is a shame.
I do agree with Dutch in that the Coach has "blundered" thing more often then most and Dutch's point is just one in a long series of similar acts. What I still consider a bigger blunder is Simon's continual lack of challenging her teams early on. For example: how great would it have been to have an Emmanual on the schedule in early December rather then the continual parade of cupcakes like MIT, Simmons etc etc etc. Brandeis could have played a very young Emmanuel team before the freshmen grew up and probably won (they should have won Saturday) and how would that have played out at tournament time. Both teams would have had different attitudes.
I disagree with Dutch on the point regarding the guards not being able to get the ball to Malcom and "the 2 star posts" comment. Let's see, I think we will all agree Fitzy was probably the best post the last 4 years, or maybe not. Fitzy didn't rebound like Malcom, or score like Malcom although she did shoot for a higher percentage. Fitzy was a senior and Malcom was a freshman so where are the "2 star posts". Clancy was always a serviceable post, hardly a "star" and certainly not a "star" while Fitzy was at Brandeis. Fitzy got double and triple teamed and the argument here has been that "Malcom is always double or triple teamed". Oh yea, did we mention that Malcom is a 2 time ALL AMERICAN. Also, the highly heralded sophs in Dados and Orlando easily provided as much or more then Clancy, so you have lost me. The BLUNDER is again at the hands of the coaches. Brandeis brought in some very talented freshmen who it seems are athletic and fast and the coaches decided they were a running team this year and THAT IS THE BLUNDER, because it seemed to make the team more individualistic. I have been hard on Capra, but don't for a minute think that I don't think she is a talented basketball player, she is. My point is she is at times selfish and that seemed to lead other players including freshmen into that same mode. My point being, you have a 2 time ALL AMERICAN (ok I get it Capra will get that nod this year) how do you NOT get the ball to her more and all of a sudden this year settle for the guards taking the vast majority of the shots, I mean I saw boxes where Malcom took 6 shots in a game. Also, how did "that definately opened things up for the guards", I don't recall the guards being the big scorers the past few years and as you began to digress, the ball still got to Malcom. Maybe I am missing something, but I still think Malcom was Brandeis' BIGGEST asset this year and she has to accept a supporting role.
Chicago was a big disappointment but they should be really strong next year and I also wish Wash U, Rochester and NYU success, anyone of those coaches would have Brandeis still playing.
Now you can beat me up for being to harsh on the coaches.

newton,
i only saw brandeis play once this year, more last year. they looked slow to me. but with malcolm, she's got to be the first option. many of the guards i see can't feed the post, even with single coverage. she knows how to get good position in the post. even if she gets doubled, she can kick it out to a guard. but she sets an awful good target for an entry pass.
the game i happened to see was a game they had no business winning( wheaton), they had a huge advantage down low, malcolm got in foul trouble, but the posts on the bench have size. they had 20 offensive rebounds in the game, but they did not run much at all. as i said before, i thought a fast, uptempo team could give them problems. i have not seen emmanuel play, but from deiscanton it sounds like they play that way.

Just wanted to throw something out there...The UAA All-conference team was been chosen (although I don't know if there is an online version, the link to the UAA website doesn't seem to have one, unless I am missing something). I have heard from a few sources that most of what goes into the selections is scoring. I took a glance at the UAA stats from this year and want to make a case for my sister for 1st team and see what you guys think...

I know I am going to seem ungrateful and griping, but that is 6 categories where she is top FIVE in statistics...top 5 in five categories = HONORABLE MENTION. I don't think so. Firstly, does anyone know the criteria for the voting?? Is it coaches, media, anything else? Secondly, how heavily weighted is scoring?? I know the UAA is a great conference and heavy in talented players. Karen was Second team last year and I know she has only gotten better. I am probably making too big a deal about this, but I am just wondering about the voting criteria...Any insight is appreciated!!

I know I am going to seem ungrateful and griping, but that is 6 categories where she is top FIVE in statistics...top 5 in five categories = HONORABLE MENTION. I don't think so. Firstly, does anyone know the criteria for the voting?? Is it coaches, media, anything else? Secondly, how heavily weighted is scoring?? I know the UAA is a great conference and heavy in talented players. Karen was Second team last year and I know she has only gotten better. I am probably making too big a deal about this, but I am just wondering about the voting criteria...Any insight is appreciated!!

Just wanted to throw something out there...The UAA All-conference team was been chosen (although I don't know if there is an online version, the link to the UAA website doesn't seem to have one, unless I am missing something). I have heard from a few sources that most of what goes into the selections is scoring. I took a glance at the UAA stats from this year and want to make a case for my sister for 1st team and see what you guys think...

The coaches vote. Therefore, socring is weighted as heavily or unheavily as each individual coach wants to. And you are missing something, here's the link to the online team. http://www.uaa.rochester.edu/Basketball/07%20All-UAA%20BKB%20List.pdf

Thanks Jagluski. The link you gave came up "no server" but I can figure it out from there...It's usually just the rochester website updating.
Congratulations to three out of the four UAA teams still in the tournament!!
I like all three teams' chances this weekend to reach the FINAL FOUR next weekend...We'll have to wait and see. Are people making the trips to watch??

No problem. It's on the UAA Women's Basketball Website at the top, too. I will not be going to see Wash U since I live in New York City now, but there's a chance that I go see the NYU game on Saturday, assuming that there isn't a D1 Men's Conference Tourney game I want to watch or Wash U on the internet.
I agree with you about the UAA in the Final Four. Rochester's got a pretty tough draw, but I would love to see NYU-Wash U Round 3.
In order, I think the chances are
1) NYU, especially at Coles, where they never seem to lose
2) Wash U, if they can get by Luther at Luther's gym, they could face #2 Howard Payne
3) Rochester, #1 Bowdoin, and then potentially at Scranton

I agree with you jagluski about the chances. I think that it's possible that Rochester and Wash U have a solid chance, especially Rochester who I have seen play lights out against NYU and if they hit the amount of threes they did that time, they can beat anyone. Plus, Rochester is real athletic and I think can bounce back the next day and remain competitive. I think it's real possible that we may have a three out of four UAA final four.

I just have a word of advice to the NYU fans going to Coles Center this weekend:
Don't assume that you have the Final Four trip to Springfield all wrapped up yet. You will have two very tough opponents in both the Friday game vs. Simpson (IA), and the Saturday game (should the Violets win on Friday) against either Kean or Randolph-Macon.
In 2001, a lot of NYU fans, when they saw that they were hosting a sectional involving Bowdoin, Emmanuel, and SUNY-Cortland, thought that a trip to Danbury, CT for a rematch with Wash U was in the bag. After all, Angela Vicari, Dari Magyar, Rashida Allen, Melina Nappi-Kahler, Jessi Nowak, Meg Barber, and the rest of the team had also gone undefeated at Coles going into that sectional-- and not only that, NYU had beaten Wash U with Dari Magyar's "Miracle in Manhattan" shot just a few weeks earlier to get a #2 ranking in the D3Hoops.com poll and a #1 ranking in the WBCA poll going into the sectional.
In that sectional, NYU just barely held on to defeat Bowdoin in the Sweet 16 by 4, and then the Violets lost in overtime to Emmanuel 74-70 in the Elite 8-- that dream trip to Danbury, CT had gone down the drain, and a lot of NYU fans who had already booked hotel reservations in Danbury in anticipation of going there had to cancel their reservations.

Deis,
Thanks for the advice, I think they are looking at this Simpson College team as they would any other tough competition...except for the fact that if they lose, it's over. I have heard that Simpson is like a lot of Midwestern teams: good shooters, good defenders, solid fundamentals. I also know they have one of the leading shot-blockers in the country and a strong All-American. I am interested in how they will handle Jess McIntee and how that match-up ends up.
The home court advantage is strong though too...No loss yet this year, knock on wood.

Bach,
I think if you look back you will see the UAA coaches have a LONGGGGGGGGG history of putting the top scores on the 1st and 2nd team. I have my thoughts on why they think that way, but over the years I have seen players who are the glue to teams, who aren't necessarily the top scorers get over looked. It is also like their selections of coaches of the year, it is ALWAY the staff who wins the conference. It becomes mindless, its a lot like high school where only the scorers get the accolades.

Thanks for the input Newton, it just seems so strange to me...All the coaches have access to the statistics, and by no means am I saying that scoring isn't important, but there are different ways to dominate a game...Not all of them show up on the scoreboard.
I got a beating from a Bowdoin fan today about the "possibility" of Rochester upsetting Bowdoin, so I wanted to ask anyone here about the chances that Wash U., Rochester, and NYU each have of reaching the final...Tough games, no question, but I think it's possible!
I think NYU got the best bracket (except for Brandeis, but an argument could be made that theirs was tougher), but Wash U. can win their remaining games, Howard Payne ultimately being their toughest (if they beat Luther)...And, if Rochester can pull off a HUGE upset of Bowdoin, they've beaten that Scranton team before and I like their chances this time.
We'll see.......Anybody surprised that Malcolm got Second team All-Conference?

Bach,
To be honest I don't think any of the UAA teams make the final 4, but NYU would have the best shot. Rochester is least likely.
Regarding Malcom, blame that on the coaching staff and offense that got away from the all american and went to a guard oriented offense and freshmen

Appreciate the honesty Nancy, but I'll admit I am a little surprised. I know you follow Chicago and the UAA. I also know you know what happened to Chicago, a darn fine team with a heck of a lot of talent, in the UAA (the toughest division in DIII Women's hoops).
I know the rest of the UAA crowd in the tournament has tough games but do you know something I don't? Wash. U. is a powerhouse and well coached, same for NYU. Rochester has the toughest game in my mind, but possible--leaning towards impossible, but still possible...I think there'll be two UAA teams in the mix after Friday's games, and probably 2 in after Saturday...Bold prediction, yes, but not that bold....

Nancy, do you know of a reason the UAA does not name a DEFENSIVE player of the year?? Maybe if coaches had to look at stats like: rebounds, steals, blocked shots, etc., they might think about all-around players in a different way......Just a thought.
By the way, congrats to Molly Hackney for Rookie of the Year.

Good to see all the respect for Rochester...
So lets look at their resume.
Consider the top 30 of the Women's RPI (www.d3hoops.com/scoreboard/womensrpi07.htm):
Wins:
-vs. #5 NYU
-vs. #7 Scranton
-at #11 Cortland State
-vs. #12 Brandeis
-vs. #22 Chicago
-(n) #26 St. Lawrence
And some more wins:
-at Medaille (23-5, AMCC conference champs, d3hoops.com #20)
-at Ithaca (Empire 8 conference champs)
-at Elmira (21-7, Empire 8 runner-ups)
-(n) Brockport State (22-8)
On top of that, they have three starters with Final Four experience (PG Emily Bango, SG Danielle Muller, SF Megan Krebbeks) and a key backup (F Emily Lyons) who's been there too.
No, there certainly can't be any chance they'd beat Bowdoin, let alone make the Final Four. None at all.... :P

Rochester also has an advantage in two assistant coaches who formerly played for Bowdoin in Corrinne Pellegrini and Courtney Trotta. They know how Stefanie Pemoer coaches a Bowdoin team, and can develop plays to counter whatever Bowdoin throws at Rochester.
Rochester does indeed have a shot of beating Bowdoin on a neutral floor--it just depends on which team executes better on Friday.

I would tend to agree with Nancy on this one. Rochester was not the team they were at home that they were on the road......It should be added that where they looked their best (in my opinion) was early in the season, AND at home. Also, a couple of those "ranked" wins turned into losses (Wash. U. beat them on their own court) the second time around (i.e. NYU, and Brandeis).
But, as I have said, when they are shooting lights-out (like they were against NYU at Rochester, where it was just ridiculous, Krebbeks and Bango dropped a load of threes) they can make any team feel like they're playing NBA players and that the basket is as big as a hula hoop!

There was no ranked win against Wash U. Wash U swept Rochester, which is why they got the UAA auto-bid over NYU.

Try playing in Brunswick they had 76 straight wins there. Thats fine but nobody shoots lights out against Bowdoin ever. They hold teams to high 40's in poitns and usually win by 15-20 points.
You want to talk resume fine Bowdoin beat S. Maine by 15, Emmanuel by 10, Norwich by 10, Williams by 20 and 10, Bates by 20 twice, and beat a good Mt Holyoke team, and Keene St both by double digits.
You say they have three players with Final Four Experience the Polar bears have three with National Championship experience all starters.. Flaherty, Loonin, Cummings Who is going to stop Flaherty?? If you double her you will get beat by Anelauskus or Rubega off the bench..

Papabear, nobody was trashing Bowdoin. Only pointing out that Rochester isn't exactly garbage, and it would not at all be surprising if UR got another quality scalp this weekend.
Well, I'd try to stop Bowdoin by playing some zone. From looking at their team stats, it looks like their guards are awful shooters (Loonin at .333 FG, .301 3PT and Cummings at .297 FG, .208 3PT). So I'd load up the paint, maybe even a box-and-one or triangle-and-two to stop Flaherty and the other post players, force Bowdoin to shoot from the outside, and force the guards to shoot, which it looks like they don't do very well. I'd even let Cummings shoot all day if she wants, not sure I'd even guard her; I'd double-up Flaherty instead and let the zone handle Cummings if necessary.

I'm hoping that Emmanuel and at least 1 UAA team will make it past this weekend and get to Springfield.

From The Bradneis Hoot... Hoot.net
Capra '08 followed up on her Friday heroics with a miserable performance, scrapping together 10 points on 5-14 shooting. She was able to pull down eight rebounds, which was one more than the team leading seven turnovers she had. Even more telling were that she had no foul shots and her visible frustration.
In the sports world, there are many unwritten rules, but Saturday, the Brandeis Judges introduced what should be included if not already an unwritten rule–-if you commit 35 turnovers in a game, especially in the playoffs, you are not going to win. It was a bitter pill for the Judges to swallow as they could only walk away on the wrong side of a 71-66 defeat.

Pretty harsh on the Brandeis team, by the way...Although I agree completely. I have learned that inciting the wrath on the boards does little but that...Ask TC Hoops, aka the GMC brawler...Just kidding TC!!

Have fun in Boston deis! I will be at the NYU sectionals and hopefully make it for both games. Go UAA!!!!
I think Emmanuel will win, and I am hoping (sorry papa) that Rocehster pulls off the upset of Bowdoin. I am thinking Wash U. will probably make it thorugh too...Everyone cross their fingers...
I would find it highly ironic if WashU gets past Luther and Howard Payne to get to the Final Four, achieving what none of the Manning led teams managed.
I think it more likely they beat Luther and lose to HP who go on to win the championship, making it the fifth time in six years that the Bears got knocked out by the champion.

I wonder how long it's been since a school sent two teams to the Elite 8...and further.
What would make it more incredible is that both of these games are on the opponent's home court.

Pat answered this query elsewhere. UWSP's men and women both went to the Final Four in 2004. Ironically, the UWSP women hosted a sectional at Quandt that year, where they beat Wash U in the Round of 16.

To be honest, IMO, Emmanuel was never beaten that badly in an NCAA playoff game prior to last night's loss against DePauw. All one had to do was look at DePauw's season stats and one would have made DePauw the favorite to advance to the Elite Eight no matter who won the Brandeis v. Emmanuel match last Saturday. DePauw would have beaten Brandeis in a hypothetical match if that match took place yesterday-- I am confident of that.
I read on the SCAC board this morning that Oglethorpe ran a full court press over the season that is very similar to Emmanuel's full court press, and that, as a result of DePauw's conference games against Oglethorpe, DePauw was well prepared to handle Emmanuel's press yesterday. Before yesterday's game, I spoke with coach Yosinoff, and he said that by looking at DePauw through the videotape, he thought that this year's DePauw team would be the toughest challenge that any Emmanuel program ever had to face. (That is saying a lot, considering how good the 2001 Wash U team was, and it gives me an impression that Division III women's hoop, as a whole, has improved a lot over the past 6 years.)
As for the other results yesterday, my quick thought on this is that only in the UAA can I feel that the Wash U women got a break yesterday by Howard Payne going down to defeat at the hands of Puget Sound-- and Puget Sound is going to be a very tough challenge for the Wash U women tonight, so I don't know that the break was really that big.
I will be seeing the Calvin v. DePauw match tonight. DePauw looks like a team that can get to the national championship game-- Calvin has 8 very talented players that play 10+ min. a game (the Knights would be playing 10 deep but for 2 injuries that occurred just prior to the MIAA conference tournament)-- does Calvin have enough to be able to defeat DePauw after a grueling match vs. Southern Maine yesterday?
Good luck to Wash U and NYU tonight, and hopefully both remaining UAA teams will win tonight and face off against each other next Friday.

Ok..
I think DePauw wins tonight (would have gone with Calvin were all players healthy) and am leaning on Depauw winning the National Championship
Wash U is a game that I just don't have solid knowledge on PS, and although I don't think Wash U is as good as in the recent past, I will base picking them on the fact that I believe PS could bounce off of yesterday's performance and be a bit flat.
Bach won't like this, but I am picking Kean to beat NYU. I think their Athleticism and speed will hurt NYU.....if NYU wins I would excpect that the NYU Home Court Advantage would send them to the foul line for at least 1o more opportunities then Kean...

I have no idea if NYU will win, but do you really think that any team has a noticeable advantage in athleticism and speed against NYU? They were by far the best in those areas of all the women's teams I saw this season. Definitely tops in the UAA.

Stay tuned to see if Wash U's men can join them in the Final Four, with one school potentially sending both teams to the Final Four for the first time since UWSP in 2004.

Congratulations to both Wash U and NYU on making it to Springfield and the "DIII Women's Final Four".
I will be in Springfield this upcoming weekend to see Friday's and Saturday's games and will be cheering for the UAA to win both the third place and championship games on Saturday. I'll be staying Friday night at the Econo Lodge in West Springfield, MA-- that is the place where I stayed last year when I went to see Hope, S. Maine, Scranton, and Hardin-Simmons battle it out for the title.
From what I saw over the weekend at the Jean Yawkey Center in Boston, the DePauw Tigers look like the team to beat in the national championship game in order for the UAA to get its first national title since 2001. At this early stage, I look for the UAA to be favored to win the early game on Saturday regardless of the outcome between Wash U and NYU. (I will probably have to remain neutral on Friday and wish that both the Bears and Violets have an excellent game.)
And to the NYU Pep Band-- I am hoping to hear 2 great "rock and funk" concerts this upcoming weekend in Springfield as well.
Short of Brandeis making it to the Final Four, I feel like I just hit the jackpot yesterday....

Wash U has actually already played both NYU and DePauw this year. They went 1-1 against NYU, each winning on their own home court. The NYU loss for Wash U was the worst in Coach Fahey's history at the school, so I'm guessing they're excited to get a chance for revenge.
Wash U is 0-1 this year vs. DePauw; they played in the opening game of the season at a neutral site(Illinois Wesleyan). Wash U was up 4 at the half and DePauw slowly pulled away in the second half. Also, note this was when the Bears had Shanna Lei-Dacanay healthy; she started, played 34 minutes, and had 25 points and 6 assists. Suffice it to say, the Bears are a completely different team today.

I had a good time speaking with Parker, Southworth, Schell and Fahey last night after the game. There will be more on the Bears (men and women) later in the week.

Gordon,
I would guess you're either referring to Sarah Schell or Rebecca Parker. I'm not sure which, but I would also guess it's not some combination of the two.
I graduated from Wash U in 2004 and the Wash U-NYU games were always entertaining to say the least(this was Schell, Parker, and Southworth's freshman year...although Southworth was on the soccer team that year and didn't play basketball). When the brackets came out, I have a feeling the Wash U team saw it and immediately said: "We want NYU in Springfield", especially after what happened the last time they played. The seniors especially didn't want to go out remembering that game as the last time they got to play NYU.
The thing about this rivalry is that it's spanned several different style of play. When I first got to Wash U, this was a rivalry that where both teams would run up and down the court and try to outscore each other. This was also the year of Dari Magyar's "Miracle in Manhattan". Over the next couple years, Wash U stayed one of the highest scoring teams in the nation, while NYU regressed a little bit. To counter this, NYU would hold the ball in the backcourt for 15-20 seconds each possession and then run their offense. This was definitely frustrating to watch, but it allowed NYU to keep all the games competitive. This year, the script has flipped somewhat. By no means does Wash U run a slowdown offense, but they are much more deliberate, without a star after Kelly Manning graduated last year(Parker would probably be the closest thing they have). This year, it's probably NYU with more talent with Bachman, Ryba, Rochetti, and McIntee. However, the teams did split the series 1-1. Now, they get to settle it on a neutral floor in the National Semifinals..
I look for this game to be very sloppily played at the outset as both teams probably will be so amp'ed up for it...combine the Final Four and the major rivalry for each of these schools and I think both teams will almost be too ready to go. They're probably frustrated they can't just play today(although, Wash U can definitely use the time to break down tape to figure out what defensive strategies they need to modify to stop NYU this time). After the initial sloppiness, I look for a very well-played, back and forth, close game.

but there is $ to be had, and the amount varies based on individual circumstances. really,it makes no difference if it's academic money or other grants of some kind. as long as it's not a future debt to the student. these schools find ways to put together packages.

Hey is the Final Four tomorrow?? I forgot...Oh yea, everyone here would rather speculate about whether the school newspaper might have gotten a scoop on some scholarship scandal at Brandeis... ???
There is an all AAU Final Four tomorrow!! And I haven't really heard anything about the matchup (minus a couple here and there)! How can Brandeis be garnering this much attention?? Baffling.
Anyway, wanted to wish NYU and Wash U. well, but wish NYU better :)
Two teams that have an intense rivalry (I hear that both coaches wear their NCAA Champoinship rings proudly when they face each other), on a neutral floor, have split their decisions this season, side story of NYU beating Fahey's Bears by largest margin EVER...I think we could find SOMETHING better to talk about than Brandeis's student newspaper (no offense).
It's going to be an awesome game in Springfield and though I promised my sister I wouldn't post anymore (superstitious and embarrassed), I wanted to wish her luck giving the speech at the Basketball Hall of Fame tonight representing NYU.
GO VIOLETS!

I have no perosnal ties in this matchup, but I stongly dislike the NYU coach and have heard some ABSOLUTE horror stories so I want Wash U in this one. Good luck to both squads.

I'm sure you meant UAA - and I'm with you - let's talk about NYU/Wash U.
There seems little to choose from between the two teams on paper. The win at NYU was more lopsided than the win at Wash U. Both teams shoot about the same %-age from the floor, both shoot about the same from 3-point land. NYU has an advantage - 75% to 62% from the free-throw line, and I suspect that could be an important key to victory.
I saw both teams play Brandeis at Brandeis - both trailed at halftime, both came back late, both won by six. Again, how to choose . . . ?
I'd give Fahey and staff an edge over Quinn and staff, and NYU is coming off four home victories whereas Wash U has won on the road.
Whoever wins, let's hope they have enough left to show the rest of the D3 world what the UAA is made of by winning the finals!
My prediction: Wash U by 4, based on the adversity Wash U has overcome all season and Fahey's coaching.

1.) I hope that all the fans who are travelling to Springfield arrive here safely. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Massachusetts which takes effect at 10 AM Eastern Friday, and will last until noon Eastern Saturday. Springfield is expected to get about 8 to 15 inches of snow from this upcoming noreaster.
2.) As to the NYU/Wash U match tomorrow, I see this game as a pick em. I will be rooting on Saturday for the UAA to win both the third place and title games no matter which team wins the Wash U/NYU game. I just consider myself fortunate that I can finally watch an NYU v. Wash U game in person.
3.) If anyone is staying at the Econo Lodge in West Springfield Friday night, I look forward to some breakfast chatter Saturday morning. Last year, I saw parents of players from all 4 women's Final Four teams staying at the Econo Lodge, and had some good breakfast chatter about the Saturday games.

Bachdog,
It's an honor to be selected to be the team speech presenter and I hope it went well for her; one of the neat aspects of the Final 4.
Scranton's rep last year had suffered through 14 months of ACL surgeries,followup surgeries, and hours of therapy sessions when she gave her emotional presentation. She was able to contribute this year as a junior but she obviously loved the game so much just to be able to play it again at any level.

Congrats to the Wash U. Bears on reaching the Final. They played a heck of a game and executed on both ends of the floor. Congrats is also due to an NYU team that wasn't really supposed to do much this year and really played some excellent basketball down the stretch.
McFarlin for Wash U. was the real standout as far as I'm concerned, she at times was scoring at will and was a real force in the post. NYU did not play what I consider to be their game, a fast-paced transition game that feeds the post and creates open shots. Part of that game relies on the ability to get the big defensive rebounds and turn around and push the ball up the court. I haven't checked the stats from the game, but I wouldn't be surprised if the rebound margin between NYU and Wash U. was twenty rebounds. Wash U. forced NYU in to making shots they really aren't comfortable with, and unfortunately for NYU they couldn't make them. That said, it was a closer game than the scoreboard tells...
Want to wish NYU good luck versus Mary Washington!!! GO NYU!
Sorry I missed you guys in the booth, handing out directions to people in the middle of a blizzard took up most of the time :)

They may also play each other in the second game of next season. DePauw is the next host in the rotation of the Tip-Off classic. As host, they'll play the fourth invited team (I've never seen a team repeat, but I don't know that is a given), and WashU and Illinois Wesleyan will play each other. Then there's a championship game and third place game the next day.

All I can say about the current freshman is that they are tall, that most were all conference, and Alex Hoover may be the best of the crop.

Alex seems to be short for Alexandra from this:

Wow,
That is a great point. The men had a super year last season and have the entire team back as seniors, played Amherst close and I saw them when they came to town and they were impressive.
Can't imagine that the women are superior to last years team and they lost their center although I am told that freshman Amber Strodthoff from DePere, WI is a real deal D1 player who turned down D1 offers to attend Brandeis.

.... although I am told that freshman Amber Strodthoff from DePere, WI is a real deal D1 player who turned down D1 offers to attend Brandeis.
Strodhoff is a nice player but not D1 caliber. The best player on De Pere last season was Natalie Taylor who did go D1 - to Southern Illinois. The second best player was probably a sophomore - Claire Steffen. A very good team that was ranked as high as #2 in Wisconsin - but lost early in the state playoffs. Yes, like many in Chicago, we have a house up north and know way too much about Wisconsin.
More interesting new arrival from the Land of Cheese is Micaela White (Milwaukee University School), now at Chicago. She started last season at D1 Colgate but left before the second semester. I am not sure about the transfer rules but I think she will be eligible in January.
In addition to White, Chicago has four freshmen:
Dana Kaplan G 5-11 Commack, N.Y. (Commack)
Stacey Leach G 5-6 Gurnee, Ill. (Warren) - Alex's sister
Claire Gerall G 5-8 Houston, Texas (Kinkaid)
Karly Kasper F/C 5-11 Palos Park, Ill. (Stagg)
Korry Schwanz is still around - as an assistant coach.

Nancy Fahey did a heck of a coaching job at Wash U last year to get to the championship game. After graduating Kelly Manning, Danielle Beheler (sp?), and Katie Benson I never imagined they would even win the UAA championship with what I thought was a much less talented team than the '05-'06 team. She has just as tough a job this year having once again graduated three starters. She also only has one senior this year. So I am questioning the #6 pre-season ranking, but not nearly the way I was questioning the potential for last year's team. At the moment I'd once again say this year's team is not as talented as last year's, but I am now expecting, even hoping, to be proven wrong.

You may recognize a few of the names on Chicago's roster...Dana Kaplan is the sister of Erica (Emory), while Stacey Leach is the sister of Alex (Chicago). The younger Leach is out with an ACL torn in a summer league.
I've also seen Amber Strodhoff play...very nice athlete, but an undersized post and in my opinion, not a D1 talent.
I expect big things from the Maroons this year, as they only lose the services of Korry Schwanz. She was a HUGE part of the team, but the imcoming players and improved returners should be able to pick up the slack.
Micalea White is eligible right away. When transfering to a DIII, there is no mandatory sitting time.
My predictions for the UAA:
1. WashU - they find a way to get it done, even when it appears that they shouldn't be as good
2. Chicago - very good returning core, solid newcomers to fill the gaps
3. NYU - can't count out the Violets...seem to have the most talent year in and year out
4. Rochester - Jim is a great coach, he'll have them ready
5. Brandeis - it's going to be the Jamie Capra show, but I'm not sure about their others
6. Emory - will they break into the top 5? They seem to threaten each year.
7. Case - many unknowns, with a new coach and all
8. CMU - getting better, but recent history isn't on their side
Other predictions?

2. Chicago - very good returning core, solid newcomers to fill the gaps
3. NYU - can't count out the Violets...seem to have the most talent year in and year out
4. Rochester - Jim is a great coach, he'll have them ready
5. Brandeis - it's going to be the Jamie Capra show, but I'm not sure about their others
6. Emory - will they break into the top 5? They seem to threaten each year.
7. Case - many unknowns, with a new coach and all
8. CMU - getting better, but recent history isn't on their side
Other predictions?

I have been reading up on the upcoming season for UAA Women's Basketball-- due to my being sick the first week of practice, I was not able to get to the Brandeis campus until the end of the second week of practice. I have also been reading up on Caitlin Malcolm's first year as a pro basketball player with Dart Killester of the Ireland Women's Basketball Superleague-- she seems to be doing well in Ireland. Check out http://www.killester.com for more info.
I have not been able to check out the Brandeis women's basketball team in practice or scrimmage, and I may not be able to have time to see them until the first game on Nov. 16 against Mt. Holyoke. I have spoken to coach Simon, Jaime Capra, Jessica Chapin, and Kiersten Holgash about how practice has been going-- according to them, practice was fine over the first few weeks.
On paper, I see a good Brandeis women's basketball team, but Caitlin Malcolm will be very tough to replace. Jaime Capra is obviously the best player back on the team, but there are a lot of question marks about who of the returning players will improve their games enough over last season to give me an impression that Brandeis will be as strong on the women's side this year as they were last year. Clearly, I would not give Brandeis a first place vote on the women's side right now-- that first place vote should have gone to the Brandeis men's basketball team. Maybe the Brandeis frosh can impress me come conference time, but it is really too early to tell, and from what I hear on paper, none of the Brandeis frosh on the women's basketball side look to be first-team all--UAA off the bat.
Every first semester game seems important for me to watch, but in particular, the games against Mt. Holyoke, Tufts, Emmanuel, WPI, Wheaton, and Williams will start to determine whether or not Brandeis can do any better than an ECAC post season bid this season.
Early on-- I pick the co-favorites for the UAA crown to be Wash U and NYU-- I think that both the Bears and Violets will share the UAA title again this year with a tiebreaker to once again determine the automatic bid. Chicago will probably break into the top four teams of the UAA women's basketball league this year, with Rochester more likely than Brandeis to remain in the top four of the UAA women's league.

as a williams alum i can say that williams is having the biggest rebuilind year they have had in the last decade. they will NOT be the team they have been over the past 5 years or so. they will be extremely young. the same can probably be said of mt. holyoke. i think emmanuel and tufts will be their biggest tests.

There have been some negative posts in the past regarding the treatment of NYU players, but hopefully your daughter will not encounter similar treatment.
Looking forward to games...expecially for UAA play in January!

I just took a look at the final Emmanuel roster for the upcoming 2007-2008 season. With Jade Paez, Jackie Pannell, and Iman Davis back on the team for the Emmanuel Saints, I am looking forward to the rematch between Brandeis and Emmanuel on November 27.
The Brandeis home match on November 25 against Tufts will also be one to check up on, but I think that Brandeis will be favored to beat Tufts at Auerbach Arena-- the Brandeis men's basketball team will also be playing at Tufts at the same time, so there will be a lot of pressure from Tufts men's coach Bob Sheldon for me to attend the men's game that day.
As for trips:
I will definitely be going to New York for the Brandeis at NYU game on January 12 and I will be looking forward to seeing all of the new fans there. Due to the rising prices of air fares and the like, I am still considering about whether or not to go on other trips. Going to Rochester by bus/train is still a possibility, but I probably won't combine Rochester and Pittsburgh for that weekend unless someone is willing to pop up and offer me a ride between the two cities for January 19.
The Midwest trip is late for Brandeis this season (last weekend of February), so I have not ruled out that one yet, but air fares keep on going up, so I may have to consider Amtrak for part of the way if I go. I don't know about Atlanta, but if I visit Emory, it will probably be in the place of the Midwest trip.

I have also seen first hand and have heard stories froim past assistant coaches at NYU. I hope your daughter's experience is different. I have only seen a half of NYU basketball in my life in a game at NYU - the coach (whose name escapes me) is one step away from a mental institution, or at least she was in this game. From past assistants I have heard (second hand) and read instances of verbal and minor (jersey grabbing, "gentle" pushes) abuse. Abuse is somewhat of a strong word but I can't think of another word. NYU played my alma mader a couple years back in a game Williams College won - I wasn't at the game but apparently NYU is notoriously dirty/"in your face", which I think is somewhat needed in the women's game but perhaps not to the point that NYU supposedly does. To say that the head coach is intense in an understatement but perhaps with the numerous complaints over the years she has toned down the act. She has certainly been successfull over the year, but I'm not sure if the success has outweighed the "lashing" many players felt.

In addition to NYU and basketball, I hope your daughter enjoys life in the city. My son is a junior at Fordham's Lincoln Center campus (he doesn't play sports) and absolutely loves being there. (We looked at NYU but he decided he didn't want to apply.) And we have a niece who very much wants to go to NYU next year (again a non-sports player). For kids growing up in the midwest both my son and niece have adventurous spirits.
Getting back to basketball, some of the recent posts about the NYU coach are a bit troubling. I do hope your daughter has a good experience. I've seen NYU play a couple of times at Wash U and didn't notice any particularly unusual sideline behavior by the coach. I've seen lots of animated and assertive coaches who get in their players faces during games. It's not fun to watch, and I always wonder how the kids feel.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. My daughter is really loving NYC- she really had no number two pick, so she knew her mind. In defense of Coach Quinn, I have only known her to be caring and considerate- and a smart and successful coach. She is tough and demanding, I agree, but my daughter thrives with tough coaches. We saw a few games last year and I never saw her abusive in any way. At any rate, after some of crazies we've seen (and played for) in AAU, I figure she can play for anyone... I can't wait for the season to start! The few games we saw were of a surprisingly high quality- as a novice in assessing college ball, I assumed D3 to be weak, and I was frankly upset that she insisted on NYU. Now, I can say I'm truly happy she's there. Great school, great coaches, great basketball, great city. She's all set!

nyufan. I think you'll find that d3 ball is great fun and very competitive. Certainly 95% of d3 teams can't compete with 95% of Division 1 teams. Having said that, there is just as wide a disparity of talent from top to bottom in d3 as there is in d1. NYU plays in one of the stronger d3 conferences. I sense that you will become an avid d3 fan in a hurry.

Yesterday, I went to see the Brandeis women scrimmage against S. Maine. The scrimmage was at Brandeis, and it seemed to be a good scrimmage against evenly matched teams. The scrimmage was a 40 minute game with a short 5 min break between halves, followed by a 10 min extra scrimmage period after the 40 minute game. S. Maine is getting used to playing without Ashley Marble who graduated in May, and as a result, the Huskies in the first half tended to be mostly guard-oriented in the offense with heavy reliance on the 3 point shot. The Huskies made their share of 3 point FG attempts, which kept the scrimmage close to the very end. Brandeis came out on the positive end of both the 40 minute scrimmage game and the 10 minute period.
As for Brandeis, it seems that the team is ready for the upcoming season-- this year looks to be very interesting. However, I didn't really see anything that would dramatically alter my early analysis of the upcoming season. The UAA pre-season poll for women's basketball seems to be pretty accurate, in my opinion.
PS-- Over the weekend, Brandeis won the ECAC New England title in both volleyball and women's soccer. It is Brandeis's first ever ECAC title in women's soccer, and in volleyball, Brandeis successfully defended the title that the Judges first won last season. Congrats to both teams.

Will Wash U have another bad start? In 2006, they lost three of their first four games (to DePauw, Central and Lake Forest). DePauw went on to win the National Championship - beating the Bears again. The Central loss was just horrible - 80-69 to a team that went 6-18. Lake Forest won in OT 83-81 in St. Louis. LF won the MWC. The Bears avenged that loss in the NCAA tournament.
Illinois Wesleyan really thumped the Bears 69-51. IWU made 46% of its shot to 27% for the Bears. It looks like a horrible performance. Based on history, Olivet stands a good shot today. Longer term, beware of wounded Bears.

The usual suspects have played, in addition to 2 freshmen (Kasper & Kaplan) and a transfer (White). The Maroons like to play at a quick pace and the added depth should only increase the swift pace. They will be fun to watch!

Kenyon has a chance to be very good this year. Maybe not UAA-good, but good nonetheless, and this win will be a HUGE boost to their confidence.

My comments:
1.) Referee Dennis Kelly did not cost Brandeis the game, but he sure got the 'Deis supporters riled up when he seemed to overrule what looked to be a 5 second call late in the game and stated that the Kenyon coach called timeout before the 5 second call took place.
1A.) What was up with Capra choosing to fire a "3" with 7 seconds left rather than attempting a drive to the hoop and getting fouled? I knew that shot had no shot of making it when she fired it. She definitely could have got the foul call by driving to the hoop, and if she makes a 2 pt. basket, the game is tied and could go to overtime.
1B.) A subpar first half by the Brandeis team yesterday set the stage for the final outcome.
1C.) Chapin cannot afford to play like she is still a rookie guard right now.
1D.) When you give up 9 3's on defense, the fact that you only turned the ball over 9 times for the game is not a consolation. 10 assists on 21 made baskets is not a great ratio either when you are playing a very good opponent.
2.) Given the strength of the UAA, I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago and Emory finished ahead of the Brandeis women in the conference standings when this season ends.
3.) If I were forced to rank teams right now, I would put Kenyon in the top 25, probably around the number 20-25 range-- I would put Kenyon 1 spot above Emmanuel in the national poll (based on my belief that Emmanuel historically has trouble playing Great Lakes teams), and either rank Brandeis at #25 or drop them out of the poll altogether. I would prefer the Brandeis women unranked at this point to make the Brandeis women earn their spot again.
4.) I am just glad that DePauw and Luther aren't on the Brandeis schedule this season-- right now, Brandeis is not good enough to beat those teams--Mary Washington right now would also look to be a clear favorite in a hypothetical matchup with the Judges.

It just seems, to me anyway, that fans always seem to get riled up no matter which way an official calls any call-- depending on which team you are rooting for. :)

Just a note from Depauw from the kick-off tourney: Wash U vs Illinois Wesleyan: Ill W is a top ten team and were under-rated. Wash U ran into a well-oiled buzz saw. Il W returns all their starters from a team that beat Depauw last year then had two injuries late in the year that did them in. They run a four guard offense with alot of motion and great outside shooting. Wash U looked out of sink against them but that is the way they looked last year in this early tourney. Wash U is young and often had three Freshman on the floor. Their point guard who tore her ACL last year is at about 70 per cent. She had 25 against DePauw in that first game last year but I do not think she scored against Ill West. Ill West really dominated them getting up as much as 23. Wash U looked alot better against Olivett but not near the competition that Ill Wes offered. Coach Fahey will have them ready for their usual conference run because the Freshman have a huge upside and the point will get healthier. I really wondered going into the weekend if Depauw and Wash U deserved their top ten ranking because both teams lost alot of talent from last year. Depauw was ready for Ill W and pulled off the win and probably deserves to be in the top ten. Ill W is a great team and IT IS HARD FOR ANYONE TO BEAT WASH U AND DEPAUW IN THE SAME WEEKEND. Wash U as usual is at least a top twenty team and will get better.

Dear Nobody,
I am not one to blame officials for games, they are humans they do not make mistakes, but if someone is to look at the tape that the Kenyon SID person was filming, you will see that yes a timeout was called before 5 seconds, but it was a 3second paint violation people were angry about.
I am also not sure where you get off saying Waltham games are the most biased in the UAA. I really have no noticed this at all. In fact visitors normally are given fair if not better treatment, perhaps because of obnoxious comments yelled by fans in the first few rows.
Finall, have you been to Wash U, or atleast looked at the box scores from UAA games? In one weekend the Bears held a 20+ advantage in personal fouls awarded. One cannot claim that they just played a clean game, because if my memory serves me correctly, they got their fair share of fouls on the road, or even at home against non-UAA teams.
That is all,
Have a great rest of your weekend.

As a side note, that disparity was found in the mens not the womens games, but does serve as evidence toward the bias seen in other UAA cities. I figured I would throw out my seudo error before someone went to town on me for it.

I agree, the officials at Wash aren't exactly even either. I understand officiating is a tough job, and these D3 officials aren't exactly cashing in like their D1 counterparts. I suppose I exaggerated a bit when I said the officials in Waltham are the worst...they aren't great in St Louis or NYC either. :)

Chicago takes the Midway Classic with a 77-67 win over NYC's Baruch College.
Sophomore Molly Hackney tallied 25 points, 10 rebounds and 6(!) blocks to win Tournament MVP.
Great start to the season by the Maroons. Chicago played 14 women on Saturday and 12 today. It must be difficult to prepare for a team like that. From the speed of Nofi Mojidi to the size of the front line to the rebounding and scrappy play of Nicaya Rapier, the Maroons can beat you in so many ways.
The biggest concern I see at this point is turnovers, which really hurt the Maroons during their fall from grace last season. 42 TOs in the 2 wins this weekend. Chicago's style of play is always going to lead to some turnovers, but if they can be limited, I think UC can do some special things this season.

I must agree with Hoop, I was at the game today and they are good, at least as good as last season. Hopefully the extra year of experience and maturity will bode well. I love the team speed and I too expect big things this season.
Nobody, from the past games I attended at Brandeis, I always felt it strange how the home team always seemed to be on the short end of the officiating, but I often attributed that to Coach Simon continually being all over the officials. You may be the first person I have ever heard say that Brandeis gets any kind of advantage there. And, yes revisit NYU and WASH U stats.
Allen, why would Capra taking an ill advised shot suprise you? Some people just spell team with an "I" in it.

FROM THE BRANDEIS uNIVERSITY JUSTICE:
The Judges pressed on the ensuing possession, and the referee initially called a five-second closely-guarded violation on Kenyon, which would have given Brandeis the ball with 25 seconds remaining. After a short conference, however, the officials reversed the call, concluding that Kenyon had called a timeout before the whistle was blown.
"You can't change the call, but I don't think that it was a very good call," Orlando said. "I thought that was one of the main reasons that cost us the game at the end."
With the ball back in Kenyon's possession, senior forward Eva George beat out the shot clock to give Kenyon a three-point cushion. Brandeis had one last chance to tie the score, but Capra's wild three-point attempt missed badly with eight seconds remaining.

Thanks for posting these excerpts, Newtonnancy.
The whole story is on line at http://www.thejusticeonline.com if you are interested in more about this game. I have read the story and was interested in the player and coach reactions.
Since Brandeis is playing at Wellesley tonight, I will check out the Tufts women this evening in their home opener against WNEC before going to Suffolk to see the Brandeis men play Suffolk. I may only be able to catch the first half of the Tufts game tonight, so that I can get to Suffolk in time for the start of the Brandeis men's game. (For the record, I will be surprised if either Brandeis game is close tonight.)
(Yes, I am not going to my brother's place in Maryland for Thanksgiving this year, unfortunately. I will have Thanksgiving dinner at Durgin Park in Boston on Thursday.)
On to some interesting tidbits about Tufts (Brandeis's Sunday opponent):
1.) Tufts has a D1 transfer starting at center in 6'3" junior Katie Tausanovitch (#52). Tausanovitch transferred in from William and Mary, where she played for the past 2 years. In her first two games at Tufts over the weekend, she averaged 8 ppg and she collected 12 rebounds in the game vs. Endicott over the weekend. 6'1" forward Khalilah Ummah has also moved to the starting lineup to create a strong starting post for Tufts.
2.) Tufts coach Carla Berube is also starting to teach the triangle offense at Tufts (this is according to the Tufts Daily student newspaper)-- she thinks that she has the personnel this year to start using it.

Hello.
I just have a gentle correction to make first: it was Eastern Connecticut State who beat Emmanuel, not Central Connecticut State.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's Wash U v. Kenyon game. I expect Wash U. to be favored to win this one, as I don't believe that the Bears want to be in the consolation game of the McWilliams Classic two years in a row. If Kenyon upsets Wash U on Saturday, then the Ladies will be favored to win the McWilliams title game on Sunday against either Carleton or Luther.
My early thoughts on Brandeis's next 2 games:
1.) These two games vs. Tufts and Emmanuel are must-win games for the Judges if they want to have a shot at NCAAs this season-- of course, the Judges will also have to win out on the rest of the non-conference slate after this, but these compared to the rest of the slate, these next 2 games are the focus of attention right now.
2.) On the Tufts game-- even though Tufts beat WNEC on Tuesday, the Jumbos didn't bring their perfect game to the floor-- not by a long shot. I was able to notice that when Tufts had the ball, they are indeed using the triangle offense-- I was noticing the sideline triangles forming when the Tufts point guard was making the first pass or cut of the offensive plays. However, I don't believe that Tufts has fully mastered the entire arsenal of the triangle offense yet-- Tufts has only started using the offense this season, and naturally it is very hard to master this offense in only 3 games. Instead, they seem to be running the offense looking to feed their post on the first option, but when the Jumbos get up against a tough defense, their passes and cuts are not yet crisp enough to make me believe that the Jumbos are completely running the triangle offense to perfection. Watch out though-- when the Jumbos can feed their post, they make very easy baskets. It is not surprising to me that the 2 players that make Tufts's starting post (Tufts's #30 and #52) are leading the team in scoring and rebounding right now.
When Brandeis has the ball, the Judges can still run on Tufts and run their offense normally, in my opinion.
The first key to a Brandeis victory is how Lauren Orlando and Cassidy Dadaos can match up with Tufts's Khalilah Ummah (#30) and Katie Tausanovitch (#52). The second key is how well the Brandeis guards perform on Sunday. I give the bench advantage to Brandeis.
As for the fans: the Brandeis men's team will be at Tufts the same afternoon, with the tip-off of the men's game occuring 1 hour after the start of the women's game. The women's game is at Brandeis. If the fan has a choice, Tufts is encouraging their fans to be at the men's game.
3.) As for Emmanuel, the Saints haven't been playing as well as they had last March as of yet. According to the box score of the Saints at Warriors game from Willimantic, CT, I noticed that the officials seemed to be calling the game very tightly-- 3 Saints players in the starting lineup fouled out of the game. I also noticed that Emmanuel point guard Jade Paez did not seem to have a great game running the offense. Emmanuel shooting guard Iman Davis led the Saints with 24 points, but was one of the 3 starters on Emmanuel to foul out of the game. I don't think that Emmanuel was as effective on Tuesday in converting their turnovers into points as they were last March. Emmanuel will need to play better on Tuesday to have a shot of beating Brandeis again. I will probably write more on this match on Monday, but I plan to be at the Brandeis at Emmanuel game on Tuesday.

Kenyon played at Ohio Northern the other night and got waxed 68-57. Ohio Northern had previously been embarrassed by Hope 89-61. I don't put a great deal of stock in the comparative scores game (i.e., I don't really believe that Hope is 28+11+5=44 points better than Brandeis), so I'm not sure what conclusions about Brandeis we'll be able to draw from the Wash U./Kenyon game. But if the Ladies play in St. Louis at anything like the level they played in Ada, WUSTL is going to wipe up the gym with them.

I have to agree with your last sentence, David.
Anyone can have an off night this early in the season, but Kenyon will probably have to play even better than they did last Saturday to have a shot of beating Wash U, and the Ladies clearly did not do that on Tuesday.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wash U point guard Shanna Lei Dacanay has a big game on Saturday against the Kenyon defense....

Chicago is at the Wisconsin-Eau Claire tournament this weekend. The Maroons won their opener 66-45 over Edgewood. Fourteen players saw action for the Maroons - minutes ranged from 9 to 20. Tomorrow, they play the winner of UWEC-North Park. UWEC is the pre-season choice to win the WIAC. Tomorrow's game will be an early indicator for the season.

I watched Carnegie Mellon get annihilated by #20 Capital this evening 77-39 (aside: kind of odd to see both Carnegie and Mellon opposed to Capital, something that never happened in their lives; maybe they should play Labor U. instead.) Capital did pretty much everything well: outstanding defense, good shot selection and deadeye shooting, and good rebounding technique. CMU did none of these things particularly well (defense was okay, considering they were overmatched) and had just 14 points at the half. The Tartans are not deep at all: they dressed out just 10 players, nine of whom played (the lone first-year on the squad did not play.) They played with great intensity right through to the end of the game, but the result was never in the least doubt. CMU takes on Frostburg St. in the consolation of the Ohio Wesleyan 'Hoops for Hope' tournament tomorrow afternoon; I expect CMU will win this one.
The box score is not up yet, but should be posted on OWU's site (link (http://bishops.owu.edu/winske.html#FA2)).

Final scores from today's action at the McWilliams Classic:
1.) Carleton 66, Luther 56
2.) Wash U 78, Kenyon 75 (2 OT).
I just finished watching the Wash U/Kenyon game on-line, thanks to Wash U's new live stats feature--
DC, the Kenyon Ladies may be in for a special season. The Ladies battled Wash U hard for the first half, with Wash U up 34-30 at the break. In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Wash U built the lead to 13 and led, 53-40 with 9:28 left. However, Kenyon was able to rally back and tie the game at 61 a piece at the end of regulation. Wash U and Kenyon each scored 4 points a piece in the first overtime period to begin the second OT tied at 65-65. Finally, Wash U was able to win the game in the 2nd OT period by scoring 13 in the 2nd OT to Kenyon's 10 points to make the final Wash U 78-75 in double OT.
Starting Wash U point guard Shanna-Lei Dacanay did not have a big game statistically, however, she was able to contribute 2 assists in the game. The big player of the game for Wash U was Jaimie McFarlin-- she had 28 points and 18 rebounds. Wash U's Jill Brandt and Zoe Unruh also scored in double figures, and their contributions were sorely needed today. Kenyon was able to place 5 players in double figures, and was able to make 8 3's for the game. The main difference was Wash U making 12 points from the free throw line to Kenyon's 9.
Wash U would have lost this game last year at this time, but the Bears seem ready this year to battle hard every game.

Some more comments about the Wash U game today:
1.) According to the game report from Wash U, during the second overtime period, Jaimie McFarlin made a 3 pointer with the shot clock expiring. By doing so, Jaimie McFarlin has now made her first 3 pointer of her college career.
2.) The victory today gave Wash U coach Nancy Fahey her 500th victory. Congratulations, coach Fahey. What an exciting game for the milestone.

Kenyon really seems to step it up against top-flight competition. That's good news for tomorrow, when they play #12 Luther, but they won't see much (or any) top-flight competition in the woebegone NCAC. I wish I could figure this team out.
Congratulations to Wash. U. and especially to Coach Fahey on her 500th win. Wash U. is coming to my neck of the woods next week, playing at Denison and Capital next weekend. I look forward to seeing the Bears in person.
As expected, CMU was able to defeat Frostburg St. (57-53 (http://bishops.owu.edu/2007-08/wbb1124.html)) in the consolation game of the Hoops for Hope Classic at Ohio Wesleyan this afternoon.

Chicago won at UW-Eau Claire tonight, 56-49...ugly game, but I'm sure Coach Roussell and his team are just happy to get out of Wisconsin with a tourney win. It's always hard for out-of-state teams to go into Wisconsin and get wins, so this is a solid resume builder for the Maroons. This team is deep...after the monster performance by Molly Hackney last week, Jamie Stinson stepped up and won tourney MVP honors this weekend.
Sounds like it was a good one in STL...game against Carleton tomorrow should be a good one.

I guess reality is setting in at NYU, all those freshman etc who played 2-3-5 minutes etc in a 40 point blow out now know they probably won't be getting off the pine much this season. Interesting that the UAA Player of the year McEntee had her lowest point total in memory histting only 5 free throws, but still dominated the boards.

Brandeis v. Emmanuel will still be a good game tonight. I think that both teams will be ready to play a better game. It comes down to how the guards of both teams play vs. each other, whether Brandeis can limit their turnovers to 20 or fewer , (The Emmanuel defense will press and attempt to steal the ball every opportunity they get), and whether Brandeis's #41 Lauren Orlando can play better in the post today or not. The post matchup should be more in Brandeis's favor today assuming that the Judges can use the matchup to their advantage. A tightly called game by the referees will also work to Brandeis's advantage, as Brandeis is a better free throw shooting team. Emmanuel will not be as effective in converting turnovers to points this game as they were last March.
Just my quick thoughts on this-- the Brandeis players have been asking me my thoughts on the Emmanuel matchup ever since mid October, when practice began....

Brandeis 86, Emmanuel 64
For Brandeis
#41 Lauren Orlando-- 27 points. Emmanuel had no answer for her.
#10 Jaime Capra-- 15 pts., 14 rebounds (career high in rebounds category).
#23 Jessica Chapin-- 10 pts.
Brandeis committed 21 turnovers, but Emmanuel was not able to capitalize on them.
Brandeis made 28 of 40 at the charity stripe. (70%).
A very good win for Brandeis that will stop the freefall and stabilize the situation.
The next goal for Brandeis is to try to get to the NYU game with just that 1 in-region loss against Tufts. The slate of games vs. Babson, WPI, Wheaton (MA), and Williams in December, with Husson and Simmons in January, involve matchups that should work to Brandeis's advantage. Therefore, I expect the Judges to win each one of the remaining non-conference games.

Hey,
Ilive4 this, get a grip.
I do not trash the "area"
I do at times trash Brandeis, because I watched them for years and years and am not a fan of the coach or the fact that she LOVES shooters and has limited knowledge of the game. Prior to 2002 I think she had 9 plus losing seasons IN A ROW (it may be 11 or 12 I lost count) and the graduating class of 2002 had a kid (2 really) who never saw a shot she didn't like and for the 4 year tenure of that class the team was under .500 in wins and losses but Simon has the audacity to RETIRE 2 of those seniors numbers.
Then, I watch Simon get "lucky" with getting some players (she must have learned how to recruit but I am told it was the addition of Assistant Coach Ewing that made the difference) and the kids play great and do wonderful things, WIN. Then all of a sudden after taking 20 years (or there about) to win 200 games (remember shes won 100 the last 5 years and still doesn't have 300) SHE'S labled a GENIUS...Give Me A Break .
Now the past couple of years Brandeis' athletic admissions requirements are lowered and I am told, Brandeis gave significantly more money to certain incoming freshman then they were offered by other UAA schools, when in fact that should not be the case if it is all NEED BASED.
So lets see, Genius, lower admission requirements, more aid and I still have to watch and hear about kids who think they are better then they are shoot 3-14 and be pampered.
You know what I Live, I HOPE Chicago kicks my schools butt, because you just riled me up.
Go vote for Hilary.....but please tell me one accomplishment...just one that she has that qualifies her to be president and root, root root for your team.

Wow, its great to see a knowledgeable poster talk about the Brandeis Athletic department. To say that Brandeis has lower admissions standards for athletes than for the rest of the population is true, but this can be said for every single school in the country, including the rest of the UAA, the nescac, and yes the precious IVY league.
I am not going to talk about whether i think Carol is a good coach or not, that is for her players to decide, and in my opinion only her players (and maybe by extension their parents). The requirement for admission at Brandeis have become tougher, as have those for the athletes. What I think the real reason for the turn around in the Women's bball team, is the same reason the rest of the athletics department has seen a bit of an upswing in the past 4-5 years - a new athletic director.
This has allowed for more funds, which leads to better recruiting and therefore more wins/success. This has come on the heels of a general consensus from the University and its lead administrators, that Athletics give back to a university, add a little something to the campus, and therefore a focus was developed to improve the program.
Brandeis' athletic hey-day is still the late 70's and early 80's, however with 2 ECAC title, and 2 NCAA appearances for womens bball, 1 NCAA appearance for the men, back to back ECAC titles for VBALL, one for womens soccer and one for mens soccer in the past 2 years, and being named ECAC institution of the year for 2006-2007, I would say that the program as a whole is doing quite well even with your bashing.
I have absolutely nothing against Chicago, as an institution or its athletic teams, but you need to get a grip if you think standards are not lower for athletes there as well...and come on a team that puts up the three that much has an affinity for shooters as well.

Well, you may be right with regard to a new AD, but I don't think you want to begin comparing the athletic requirements of Brandeis with those of Chicago, Emory or CMU. Moreover, while you make a statement that the admission standards have gone "up" for not only the entire student body but also for the athletic department at Brandeis, you are wrong, I can assure you that both basketball teams for example recently received "exemptions" and in fact the athletic department standards have been losened.
Granted that may have been needed to compete with Wash U and NYU but is goes totally against the spriti of the UAA.
Frankly, there have been student that have gained admission and play hoops over the past 3 years who 6-7-8 years ago couldn't come close to getting into Brandeis, and to what end?
Hey, the Republican Debate this evening had some meat to it, you should have watched.

Ok, lets move on, but I don't know how or why nobody ever wants to touch the academic and financial requirements with regard to the UAA. The UAA was formed and prides itself on certain principals, see below, yet it is always an out of bounds discussion when brought up here;
Members of the UAA share the belief that academic excellence and athletic excellence are not mutually exclusive. Implicit in this belief are several sets of assumptions. The first is that the academic enterprise is the primary element. Student-athletes are just that - students first and athletes second.
The second set of assumptions has to do with athletic excellence. Athletic excellence is not to be confused with a win-at-all-costs attitude. It properly relates to the caliber of experience offered to students who participate in intercollegiate athletics. Athletic teams should have the benefit of qualified coaching - capable individuals chosen for professional competence and commitment to putting the welfare of the student first. They should play and practice in first-rate facilities at reasonable times. Their equipment should be safe, of high quality, and conducive to the best performance possible. A consistent and challenging level of athletic competition should be provided to both women and men.
The final assumptions concern what might be termed a proper athletic emphasis. Athletic programs are extracurricular activities conducted for students and should be given consideration similar to that accorded other such institutionally sponsored activities. They should not only complement the academic experience, but should also reflect the quality of the academic environment within which they exist. Division III is an approach to athletics - not a synonym for third-rate. The University Athletic Association sponsors competition in 22 sports - twelve sports for men and ten sports for women - including football, soccer, cross country, volleyball, basketball, fencing, wrestling, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, baseball, softball, outdoor track and field, tennis, and golf.

UAA Home Page
The following statement of philosophy outlined the conceptual framework of the University Athletic Association at the time of its formation in June of 1986 and remains the cornerstone of its mission today.
"For some time, there has been a growing concern among many college administrators over the direction of college athletics. There is a need for a collective public statement as to what college athletics can be - indeed, what college athletics is in the majority of colleges and universities today. The institutions of the University Athletic Association (UAA) believe the time has come to make the strongest possible statement that intercollegiate athletics have a proper role in our colleges and universities, that this role must subsume the athletic enterprise to the academic missions of institutions of higher education and that standards of moral and ethical behavior in the conduct of intercollegiate athletics must be unequivocally articulated and followed. By their association, the institutions of the UAA are committed to act in concert to reaffirm these beliefs.
The nine members of the UAA are Brandeis University · Boston; Carnegie Mellon University · Pittsburgh; Case Western Reserve University · Cleveland; Emory University · Atlanta; Johns Hopkins University · Baltimore; New York University; the University of Chicago; the University of Rochester; and Washington University in St. Louis.
The participants in this association are private, research institutions in major metropolitan areas, who are committed to the NCAA Division III philosophy. They are similar institutions in many ways. They are research universities with several undergraduate programs and divisions as well as graduate and professional programs. Their academic programs are among the best in the country. Their undergraduate populations are also similar.
Although these institutions do not share a common history or saga, they do share a somewhat similar pattern in their historical development. In their beginnings, they rose from unique educational missions peculiar in many ways to the needs of their local metropolitan areas and founding constituencies. During their early years, they developed reputations in their regions as respected institutions, and more recently, they have gained greater national prominence.
Over the last few years, these schools have also shown a greater commitment to raising the quality of undergraduate life on the campuses to a level comparable to the quality of the academic experiences available to their students.
UAA members also share the belief that academic excellence and athletic excellence are not mutually exclusive. Implicit in this belief are several sets of assumptions. The first is that the academic enterprise is the primary element. Student-athletes are just that - students first and athletes second. In practice, this means that institutions will not admit athletes with standards separate from the standards for the aggregate pool of applicants. Similarly, institutional policies regarding financial aid, academic progress, student services and the like for athletes will be reflective of policies for all students.
The second set of assumptions has to do with athletic excellence. Athletic excellence is not to be confused with a win-at-all-costs attitude, but properly relates to the caliber of experience offered to students who participate in intercollegiate athletics. Athletic teams should have the benefit of qualified coaching - capable individuals chosen for professional competence and commitment to putting the welfare of the student first.

Their quality should reflect the quality of the academic environment within which they exist. Division III is an approach to athletics - not a synonym for third-rate.
The members of the University Athletic Association believe that the UAA can become a focal point for improving morale and a sense of community among students, faculty, staff, alumni and others. The support directed to the student-athletes in their endeavors, while central to this effort, can benefit all students, particularly if one of its driving forces is the desire to improve the quality of student life in all its aspects.
The University Athletic Association is a statement of what college athletics can and should be. The provision of a quality college athletic experience is worth the expense required of an institution. It is worthwhile first because it benefits the student-athletes, but also because it benefits the entire campus community and, in turn, the institution itself. Further, the success of college athletics is wholly dependent upon institutional integrity and the ability of institutions to complete the full integration athletics into the academic fabric of higher education."

Senator, I think I Live drank the Cool Aid....
I know from source that are very close to the situation that specifically with the bball program, there are "student-Athletes" that have received admission at Brandeis when other UAA schools could NOT get them in and also others where Brandeis provided much more aid then other UAA schools. Aid is aid, its hard to fathom two UAA schools coming up with $12,000 in aid and Brandeis coming up with $22,000 for the same kid.
I just hate the holier then thou attitude. I don't care if Brandeeis brings someone in that is below standard, in fact I wish every kid in America could get an education maybe a step higher then they would if they didn't play ball, I think thats a good thing providing the student does the work and graudates.
What I have trouble with is the BS that things are not relaxed and then those that bring it up or question it are the ones subjected to criticism. I look at kids from Emory and Chicago for example and compare majors with those at Brandeis and I don't know, maybe I am crazy but Biology vs American Studies, Physics vs Women's Studies seems a bit off to me.
Again, its great anytime a kid can get the best education possible and I don't even have a big problem with "enabling it", but don't be a hypocrite about it.
MAN UP and deal with it.

Yes, I'd say it's the equivalent of a 1,400+ on the SATs
That should get you into almost any d3 school, right?

That stat line was from yesterday's NYU home game vs. SUNY-New Paltz.
The box score can be found at:
http://www.nyu.edu/athletics/teams/basketball/w/stats/854
The officials called this game very tightly, and SUNY-New Paltz must have played an Emmanuel-style game against NYU, from what I can tell of the box score. However, SUNY-New Paltz was not able to completely capitalize on the 18 NYU turnovers, 10 of which were SUNY-New Paltz steals, while NYU capitalized on SUNY-New Paltz's 14 turnovers. Still, NYU got challenged, and the Violets won the challenge by a score of 87-82.
35 fouls were called on SUNY-New Paltz vs. 23 fouls called against NYU.
NYU made 41 of 52 from the charity stripe yesterday.

Bad news and possibly more bad news for Wash U. today. First, the bad news: they lost at Capital today 66-58. This was a good, intense game throughout, with Wash U. holding leads of 2-8 for most of the first 30 minutes or so. Capital was only able to stay in touch in the first half by draining trey after trey (7 in all), with Wash U. holding a 5 point halftime lead. In the second half, Cap eschewed the long bomb and effectively worked the ball inside on nearly every possession, while holding the Bears to just 32% shooting, and that was the winning recipe. The Bears didn't help themselves at the line, hitting just 3 of 6 in the second half (while Capital was draining 11 of 16, the discrepancy due to Cap's much stronger inside game) and missing both ends of a critical two-shot foul in the waning moments.
The worse news, potentially, is that leading scorer and rebounder Jaimie McFarlin went down with an apparent left knee injury trying to chase down a Cap breakaway in the last two minutes. She was down in agony for several minutes, then helped slowly off the court and treated on the bench. When she was helped out of the gym after the game, with a large icepack on her knee, she was unable to put any weight on her left leg. Here's hoping that she's not hurt as badly as it looked.

As an observer, watching a game that had 58 fouls was excruciating. When you say the officials called it very tightly, should I assume this is more of a norm in UAA basketball? I can't imagine what that does to each of the team's style of play- defense has to back down... Also, when you say an Emmanual style game, what do you mean?

To NYUfan:
Emmanuel College of Boston, MA tends to run a full court press style for the entire game. The game depends on having very athletic and quick guards to put pressure on the ball for the entire 40 minutes, with tall and strong posts available to help with the defense and also to block shots. The game is essentially one of "press, run, and rebound", and also depends on causing the other team to commit a high number of turnovers, mostly by steals and other forced turnovers, and then scoring off those turnovers. As long as your opponent turns over the ball 20 or more times, and you limit your turnovers to 20 or less, you tend to stand a good chance of winning. The game also depends on the number of FGAs that you attempt to reach 75 or more, because you will get a lot of offensive rebounds to help you out when you are not shooting over 40%. As long as you have a high number of FGAs, your team will tend to average over 80 points per game, even if your leading scorer averages only 12 points per game-- because you will have a deep bench on your side.
Many years ago, Nolan Richardson ran this with the Arkansas men's basketball team. The style was called "40 minutes of hell" when Arkansas ran it.
In the south, Oglethorpe University is also known to run this style of game. (I learned of this when I watched DePauw beat Emmanuel in the sweet 16 last season in Boston.) However, as I am a native of the Boston area, I tend to call this style "the Emmanuel style", because in the 2000-2001 season, Emmanuel used this style of game to reach the DIII women's final four in Danbury, CT, most notably by beating NYU at the Coles Center in the Elite 8 when NYU was ranked #1 on the ESPN/USA Today/WBCA poll, and #2 by d3hoops.com. Emmanuel still runs this game today.
As for the officiating, the home team in UAA games tends to be more familiar with the style of calls the refs in that area make. It is up to the visiting team to adjust to the officiating style-- as the style of calls tends to vary from region to region.

I also noticed that a lot of fouls were called on New Paltz when NYU was on fast break situations. It may have been better for New Paltz to simply let NYU score the 2 points off the layup in these situations rather then commit a foul in these situations and give up 3 or 4 points to NYU. Easier said then done, however....

Thanks, Deis. I know of a high school in CT which ran that offense- Guilford High School under the coaching of Jim Rooney. They won the state championship for several years running with it. I remember them being referred to as a swarm of bees... as if there were 10 players on the opposing team- that is, if you were the unlucky player with the ball.

First off the Justice, especially its Sports section is not known for its amazing journalism, so I would not take anything you read other than the score (and sometimes that is even wrong) to heart. However there are a few injuries although like you said nothing that has caused anyone to not dress like on the Men's side. Also I agree with you that these injuries are most likely not the cause for the early home losses.

Wash U. got wiped out at McKendree tonight, 76-49. The radio crew, who seemed to be rooting for both teams (so I don't know with whom they are affiliated), seemed to think that the absence of Jaimie McFarlin was huge, even pivotal, in the outcome.

that will drop Wash U out of top 25, wonder how long it has been since that has happened.
Also, bodes well for the other teams in UAA with Wash U and Brandeis struggling could an upstart like Emory who seems to be much improved be a factor or even Case. I am not convinced that NYU is allit is cracked up to be, if you have to play your STAR Center for 40 minutes in a blow out win (20+ points) against a SUNY team then I have to question the overall team ability.
I am looking at Chicago to win the UAA followed by NYU, Rochester, Wash U then Emory and Brandeis.
Maybe college hoops will look like college football and we will have upset city this year

I listened to much of the 2nd half of the Wash U-McKendree game. As noted by David Collinge, the announcers did not appear to have any bias toward one school or the other. At least one of them clearly has connections to both schools, attending one and now working for the other. In fact, they talked so much about those connections to the schools that they really weren't describing the game very well.
Without Jamie McFarlin Coach Fahey probably has her toughest coaching challenge in a long time. But we know she is a great coach, so I am reluctant to pronounce Wash U out of the UAA race.

Not that long, perhaps surprisingly. They've only been in the last 9 consecutive polls. They were in the preseason top 25 last year (#12) but fell out of the poll on the heels of a 1-3 start. They didn't regain the top 25 until week 9. That 1-3 start that knocked them out of the poll, however, ended a 110-week ranking streak that dated back to the birth of the d3hoops.com poll in 1999.

Well, the "tougher test" I predicted for Wash U vs Maryville didn't happen. Wash U wins 77-48. The 29 point differential was one less than the win against Fontbonne. The only mitigating factor is that today's game was a home game for Wash U whereas the game against Fontbonne was an away game. If today's game had been played at Maryville it might have been closer -- hard to say.

Wash U's Jamie McFarlin sustained a season ending knee injury a couple of weeks ago. Wash U's first game after that was a 27 point loss to McKendree University, an NAIA school in Lebanon, IL about 25 miles east of St. Louis. Their two wins since have been against St. Louis D3 schools who play in the SLIAC, a comparatively weak conference. Wash U looked good in both those games, but they still have to prove themselves against the tougher competition of the UAA. I have no doubt that Coach Fahey will make them competitive. Her 503-88 career coaching record speaks for itself.

After the couple of L's guess Simon thought she needed a W. Thats the first time since I have been following Brandeis, 12 years, that Simon played a 25th game. Well, one more cupcake tomorrow and then This weekend starts it for real with the whole Association mixing it up....should be fun, and early matches like the NYU-Brandeis and Chicago - Wash U should give a real indication of who is who this year

I mean I understand it 10 years ago when you were the same kind of team, but what makes Brandeis continue this. Even NYU upped the quality of their non association games, and Wash U, Chicago, Rochester and even Emory play strong non association games and it readies teams for the conference play, I just don't get it.
And picking up one, Husson, when they weren't even on your schedule until after the season started is a sin.

The "knee-jerk reaction" of us fans distant from the Northeast Region is that that is representative of the quality of basketball played in more than half of the conferences and more than 2/3's of the teams in that region.
I am not "dissing" the powers of Bowdoin and Bates and Southern Maine, etc. ( I think that the state of Maine is one of the 4-5 geographic areas in the country where women's basketball has enough depth of quality players that we see a trickle-down to quality programs in D3.) There are just so many programs that a coach can craft a schedule that takes advantages of the OWP and OOWP to enhance his teams "stats" for the sake of the committee. (What other region has 8-9 conferences within 200 miles?) Getting great and good teams to play Brandeis, and pick up a loss that may hurt your Pool C chances makes no sense, if you don't have to do it. In fact, the UAA is strategically positioned to take advantage of the Pool C rules, as if their fertile brains were the creators of the Pool C concept. ;) :)

The Husson game against Brandeis was NOT a game that was added after the season started-- that would be a violation of NCAA rules. What happened was an unintentional mistake by the Brandeis SID where the game was included in all of the print schedules for the Brandeis season from the beginning, and it was on the electronic schedule that was sent to the NCAA, but the Husson game was accidentally not put into the web version of the schedule on the Brandeis athletics site. Husson had the game on their athletics web schedule from October on, and it was included on the d3hoops.com schedules from the beginning. As a matter of fact, I even asked coach Simon about the Husson game just to check that it was indeed on the original schedule, and I was assured that it was on the original schedule. Nobody, not even Newtonnancy, whined about this back in October or November about the discrepancies between the Husson and Brandeis athletics web sites. As a matter of fact, even I assumed that the Brandeis SID would eventually correct the mistake, but by neglect, the omission remained on the Brandeis web site until after the Williams game, when I notified Adam Levin of the mistake and asked him to correct it. Before I notified him, no one else even bothered to call him to point it out.
As a matter of fact, I knew Newtonnancy would whine and raise this "conspiracy" theory the minute I notified Adam of this, and the only way that would happen is if she was not checking other schedules of the opponent.

BUT
That doesn't explain why a team would continue to schedule such one sided games. You have to admit, it is embarassing.
Also, I thought that the new quality of wins system, punished teams for such wins? Isn't that the case?

Newtonnancy,
Rather than feel embarassed, I just feel bored by those one-sided games myself. Maybe the North Atlantic Conference got cursed by Maine Maritime coach Craig Dagan when his Maine Maritime Mariners actually won at Bowdoin last season? I'm starting to feel like that game was just a "one-hit wonder" where a NAC team actually upset a top 25 opponent.
I also have a feeling that the OWP/OOWP part of the strength of schedule is going to hurt Brandeis in the end by scheduling Husson as an opponent, but the way that the calculation is to be made seems to require at least a super calculator or a computer Excel spreadsheet to go through all of the schedules to compute a "regional RPI."
The NYU game tomorrow is going to tell a lot about Brandeis's season. If Brandeis loses by 15 or more tomorrow, it will be a long season. I need a win or a single-digit loss by the 'Deis women tomorrow.

The Chicago win is a bold prediction, but they can win in STL. They should have won there last year, if it weren't for the heroics of Parker and Schell. With nearly the entire squad back, the Maroons should be poised for the road win.

Some interesting stuff coming out of NYC right now as Brandeis leads NYU by 9 with 14 and change left to play.
Jess McEntee had 11 and 6 in the first half. The only NYU player with more than 2 points in the period, as Brandeis led 24-18 at the break.

Just had a chance to look at the box scores, NOT what I expected from the Maroons, very disappointing. About what I expected from Brandeis, but closer then I thought. Case and Emory interesting, can they get up and beat one of the big 5 this year?

Good guess. It's the first time in 63 polls; the last no-show was 2003-04 season, week 7. But Brandeis has been under 10 votes in each of the last 5 polls, so it's not entirely unexpected that they'd drop out.

NYU is overrated. After seeing them play against Brandeis on Saturday, they do not deserve any first place votes. They just don't have what it takes to be up there. I can see them struggling with the rest of the UAA competition this year. You can't rely on your only great player game after game when you're facing great teams.

I know the game is more than half over, but there is a video webcast of the Brandeis/CMU game tonight
http://www.cmu.edu/athletics/intercollegiate-sports/webcast.html (http://www.cmu.edu/athletics/intercollegiate-sports/webcast.html)
And honestly who cares who the poster is, its true, when all of your players enter half time with 2 points or less and one player has 11, you can win games, but you more than likely will struggle in the tough ones. Just look at the Lakers the last few seasons when Kobe could put up 80 at times, and they struggled to make the playoffs.

I was at the Brandeis game and I agree that NYU did not play anywhere near their history or potential. I hope Brandeis didn't either- I'd hate to think that was their best. Tonight- well, rebounding was a problem, turnovers were a problem. I have faith that Coach Quinn knows the weaknesses and is moving forward.

I think hoops23's point is perhaps solidified by NYU's 62-55 loss at Rochester earlier this evening. They perhaps are a victim of their own easy non-conference schedule, and their clearly one very very dominant player.

games all went as expected, I thought all along that Rochester maybe the sleeper winner of the Association this year. I was sitting at my desk and took advantage of watching some of the Brandeis/CMU game and then switched to the UR/NYU game. Much fun being able to see these games, although the CMU game was quite dark, I guess the lighting there is not that good. Tough to get a read on Brandeis as they were just running past CMU, both teams seemed to miss a lot of shots, but then Brandeis did play everyone. Then caught the other game and to be honest there were stretches of no scoring there and a lot of missed shots as well, but they seemed to be more intense, obviously from the competitiveness.
Live stats were good for the other two games and I was superised when checking them how close those games were, should be a great season.

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.

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.

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.

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......

Well I haven't been here in a while, but I got to see the games at Case yesterday when I traveled to Cleveland for the weekend. This was the first time I had seen the Lady Spartans play under new coach Jennifer Reimer. Any time Case plays NYU, the game will always be entertaining, intense, and physical, and I did all I could to cheer my alma mater on to victory. (The fact that I'm originally from the New York area-- how about those Giants?-- and that I applied to NYU for grad school but wasn't offered any financial support only intensified the situation.)
The game went back and forth for most of the first half, with lots of fouls and turnovers, until the visiting Violets scored 10 straight points to open up an 11-point lead. In years past, I've seen quite a few games that would turn into blowouts at this point, but the Lady Spartans were able to get some momentum and cut the deficit to six at halftime, 35-29.
Just before halftime, the SID at Case must have recognized me from my time there (plus I was wearing my silver throwback jersey that I bought from the athletic department's clearance sale in '04), and he selected me, as well as a current student, to compete in the halftime shooting contest. I won, with members of the NYU men's team cheering me on; the prize was a gift certificate to a local restaurant.
The intensity resumed quickly in the second half, as Case pulled even with 21st-ranked NYU. After the lead changed hands a few times, the Lady Spartans went on a 26-7 run to open up the largest lead they have ever held on NYU, at 68-50. Case's three-point shooting, which had been absent in the first half, turned on; this year's team has even more outside threats than before. The home team held on for a 70-58 victory-- Case's first ever against NYU at home (the only previous win was in New York, during the dream season of '01-'02).
Sophomore guard Ashleigh Tondo had a double-double, 18 points and 12 rebounds for CWRU; senior Mary Herendeen and freshman Caitlin Henry added 16 and 14 respectively, and senior Ashley Horton pulle down 13 rebounds to move into second place on the all-time list at Case. NYU's Jessica McEntee led all scorers with 25 points.
Case improves to 10-8 on the season, 3-4 in the UAA, while NYU lost their fourth straight to fall to 13-5, 2-5. If Case can win four of seven games during the second round of conference play, they could have their best record in the UAA since 2002. The team has looked promising, even with a smaller roster, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Coach Reimer continues to build the team in the near future.

Question for Pat Coleman
From your live blog last weekend:
"Wash U just got called for what would be called illegal touching in football. Coach Fahey objects but official says it was a rule put in two years ago."
What was that all about? What was the foul? Sounds like something you would get called for at a high school dance, not a basketball game.

I haven't had a chance to look through the rule book, but basically the official said it had to do with someone touching the ball after coming from out of bounds.
It didn't make much sense to me in a basketball context, which is why I compared it to the illegal touching penalty in football.

Lebanon Valley Raises Over $3,400 On Think Pink Night
Feb 06, 2008
Press Release posted by Lebanon Valley
ANNVILLE, Pa. - Lebanon Valley College's first-ever "Think Pink" women's basketball game Tuesday night raised more than $3,400 for the American Cancer Society of Lebanon to help in the fight against breast cancer.
LVC's match-up against Lycoming College drew a program-record 1,310 fans, and the two teams gave those in attendance a fantastic show as the Dutchmen pulled out a 76-75 win in overtime. In addition to a $1,000 check from LVC presented to the ACS before the game, fan contributions added another $2,400 to the total.
The "Think Pink" initiative was started by the Women's Basketball Coaches of America (WBCA) as a way to raise awareness about breast cancer.
Each year, more than 700 colleges and universities around the country participate in "Think Pink" games to show their support. Fans are encouraged to wear pink to the game, and LVC asked attendees to make a donation in lieu of an admission charge.
"What a wonderful event it was around such a difficult subject as cancer," said LVC Head Coach Todd Goclowski. "We talked about our challenges on the court and how they pale in comparison to someone experiencing that battle."
The night was full of raffle prizes and giveaways thanks to dozens of local businesses that supported the event, and local youth league teams from ELCO and Annville Elementary played at pre-game and halftime. The event also encouraged prevention and early detection of breast cancer with educational materials from the American Cancer Society.
"It was an amazing college basketball atmosphere and it was wonderful to have a game like that for such a great cause," Goclowski said. "It was a perfect night."

Question for Pat Coleman
From your live blog last weekend:
"Wash U just got called for what would be called illegal touching in football. Coach Fahey objects but official says it was a rule put in two years ago."
What was that all about? What was the foul? Sounds like something you would get called for at a high school dance, not a basketball game.
Quote from: Pat Coleman on February 06, 2008, 05:23:11 PM
I haven't had a chance to look through the rule book, but basically the official said it had to do with someone touching the ball after coming from out of bounds.
It didn't make much sense to me in a basketball context, which is why I compared it to the illegal touching penalty in football.
Rule 9. Section 4. Player Out of Bounds
Art. 1. A player who steps out of bounds under his/her own volition and
then becomes the first player to touch the ball after returning to the playing
court has committed a violation.

I am at the Auerbach Arena watching the women's game, and Brandeis played horribly tonight after taking a 20 point lead. No excuse letting Emory have their way after that, no excuse....
Emory just won, 75-63-- after Brandeis was up 20 in the first half!
A baby just started crying in the hall-- must be one of Scott Foulis's kids.

Case just beat NYU at Coles, 73-63, completing the season sweep! In the past 21 years, the Lady Spartans had only beaten NYU once. This year, they did it twice, and both games involved second-half comebacks. The home Violets led by 13 early in the second half, but Case outscored them, 38-15, in the last 15 minutes, including an 11-0 run to end the game. The telling stat of the game was CWRU's 57.4% field goal shooting (27/47).
Brandeis is next on Sunday. Last week, Case showed that they're capable of knocking them off, though they fell short-- can they get it done this time?

I think Wash, Chicago, and Rochester will finish in the top 3 spots in the conference, but I'm unsure of the order. :) Who knows what will happen! Further, I think those 3 will be the only UAA schools in the NCAA's.

I saw NYU play at Case last weekend. It's not news to anyone that they are a one-woman team. Aside from Jessica McEntee, nobody was very impressive; collectively they shot 25.5% and were just 2/16 from the arc. Thus, whenever McEntee got the entry pass, the Case defenders collapsed on her en masse. More often than not, she was fouled, and she racked up an impressive total from the line (12 of 14, total of 25 points), but it sure is hard to build any momentum that way. Case dictated the pace of play at both ends for the entire second half, outscoring the visitors by 18 and running away with the relatively easy win.
When the game was over, a man sitting near me first noticed in the program that NYU was ranked #21 and expressed his surprise to his companion (Kenyon's point guard Alisha Moreno). I turned to them and pointed out that the Violets had been #3 two weeks before that, and he was flabbergasted. And frankly, so was I.

As to what is going on with NYU, the story that I heard was that NYU co-captain Chelsea Trout quit the team just before UAA play began due to personal issues with coach Quinn. Chelsea Trout was NYU's 2nd leading scorer on the team before she left, and the absence of Trout's leadership may be part of the reason why NYU will probably finish below .500 in UAA play for the first time ever.

Hello again, atnwriter.
I may be up and kicking, but my home computer needs to be replaced right now, so I am stuck having to go in to other locations to get my Internet access. I don't know when it will be replaced. My home computer is 8 years old, so my modem is too old now to do a dial-up connection properly.
Yes, the Pats lost last Sunday-- Hillary Clinton crushed Barack Obama in Massachusetts-- my hometown gave 62% of the town vote in the Democratic Primary to Hillary Clinton-- on Tuesday, the Brandeis women lost last night, and now Suffolk just beat Emmanuel today! Oh boy.....
These regional OWP and OOWP calculations may produce a more accurate strength of schedule, but it will take a lot longer to do the math on these-- as opposed to the less accurate QoWI. I am hoping that pabegg will do a women's version for the national predictions.

Posted this also on the men's UAA board. I am curious how many people are interested in the UAA having a conference tournament to determine the AQ?
The UAA is the only conference remaining that doesn't have a touranment. However, this season has certainly shown that a tournament may be one of the more exciting ways of ending a season in this conference. I had a few ideas, but not sure what anyone thought.
Idea #1 - Rotate the sites through the schools each year, so everyone gets the chance to host. Have all 8 teams qualify and place it at the final weekend of the season - a Friday, Saturday, Sunday tourney. You can either have the men's and women's at the same place, but I rather like the idea that the men's tournament is at one school, the women's tournament at a school somewhere else in the country.
Idea #2 - Same as above, but only the top 4 teams travel. This way you could also host both the men's and the women's tournament.
Idea #3 - Still the top 4, but the #1 seed is the host. I like this idea for the top 4 and awarding the #1 seed. However, the disadvantage is that it requires a lot of last minute planning - especially in a season like this year where that regular season champion may not be decided until the final game.
Idea #4 - This is, of course, the simple one. No Tournament!
Just curious!

While a UAA tourney would be fun, I don't see it happening. We all know that academics are the #1 priority at these schools, so a tourney would mean additional missed class time. These players already miss 3 (at some schools 4) Fridays of classes, and some Thursdays too, for the regular season games. With some of the schools on quarters, it would be tough to justify more missed classes to the faculty. Further, since they already play home and homes, these schools already spend a great deal of money on travel. It's not cheap to travel to, and stay overnight in, cities like NYC, Chicago, and Boston. The budgets are already large for D3 standards, so again I don't see administrations agreeing with the concept.
The next 2 weeks will be fun...Rochester has the best remaining schedule, however Chicago has all 3 games at home. How many bids will the women in the UAA get?? I'm going with 3.

When the Ivy League decides to scrap its one-game tiebreaker playoff for a full-fledged conference tournament, maybe then I can consider the UAA having a league tournament. Otherwise, why bother with the extra games? It is not like the SCAC can bring a sizeable number of fans from all of its schools to travel to their conference tournament anyway-- I don't know about the American Southwest Conference and how many fans from all of its schools travel to their conference tournament.
Also keep in mind that most conferences use their conference tournaments to raise money for their league budgets. The UAA cannot charge admission to their conference tournaments in any sport at present.
As for nobody's predictions as to the bids-- it wouldn't surprise me if all 4 of the schools presently tied for the lead get bids to the NCAAs at the end of the season. However, while Wash U seems to have an advantage at the moment to get the AQ with the next 2 games at home, Chicago needs to win at least 2 of 3 to get a chance for a Pool C invite. (1 of 3 would mean that Chicago finishes under .700 in regional winning percentage, and Chicago has the lowest regional winning percentage of the four UAA schools with .750 right now) Brandeis has the highest in-region winning percentage of the four schools at the moment, so Brandeis can go 1-2 and still get a Pool C invite to the NCAAs-- maybe they still get one if the worst happens and 'Deis goes 0-3, but I don't want 'Deis going 0-3 at this time....
Strength of schedule is very strong for all 4 UAA schools, so it would probably go down to regional winning percentage.

So I find the fact that Brandeis Women are ahead of Souther Maine in the regional rankings interesting given the loss totals. Especially when on the men's side, Brandeis ranks behind a similar team in a similar situation. Then again I guess Brandeis Women never lost to USM. Sorry, just ranting trying to create discussion.

The audio is working, although the coverage is not the best I have heard. High scoring matchup, with fairly little defense, both teams shooting very well above average from what I can tell.
There is also some sort of halftime table-tennis thing going on which is very odd to listen to.

Is there a consensus among followers of the UAA that if the Brandeis women lose to Chicago tomorrow that the Brandeis women will get knocked out of a Pool C bid to the NCAAs? (A lot of people are assuming that NYU will knock out Brandeis next Saturday on the women's side to finish their UAA season at 4-10--mostly because people think that Coach Simon is intimidated by the presence of Coach Quinn and that will be enough for the NYU defense to knock Brandeis out of their game again. And also, that if an 17-7, .708 in-region percentage will be too low for a Pool C this year regardless of the high strength of schedule because so many teams will finish above .800 this year in regional winning percentage.)
Most people are tending to assume that the 3 teams to the NCAAs this year will be Wash U, Rochester, and the winner of Chicago/Brandeis tomorrow-- from what I'm hearing.

NYU will not beat Brandeis next week. Brandeis will be playing for alot, and will be at home. NYU will be playing for nothing but pride, and that doesnt seem to mean anything for them considering they lose by double figures every game. Brandeis wants to beat NYU, keep McEntee under 25 points and you will win easily. Only way NYU wins is if McEntee goes for 30 plus, which isnt out of the question.
Any arguement that she could be National Player of the Year? Amazing stats and without her NYU might have 4 wins this yr total!

I just think that deep down inside-- since the NYU players and their fans know that they will not be going to the NCAA tournament this year-- that NYU will be very fired up to try to knock out a team from the Boston area in their last regular season contest. (A win up at Auerbach Arena would be NYU's biggest of the season) I know that Brandeis should be a better team than when they last played NYU, and that objectively Brandeis should be able to beat NYU this year, but the six airballs from Chapin and Capra back in the first meeting give me cause for concern. Until Brandeis can beat NYU this year, I still will be concerned-- it is not an automatic win.
Back when Brandeis was not as good as NYU, the NYU fans had a reputation of coming up to the Brandeis campus en masse and/or having their band and cheerleaders show up at either the Gosman Center (back in the 1990's) or at the old Boston Garden just to prove New York's "superiority" over Boston. Of course, NYU likes to claim that Wash U is their biggest rival, but old Brandeis fans seem to disagree...

With 2 games to go, Chicago, WashU, and Rochester are tied for first, Brandeis one game back. Here's how the tiebreakers set up.
Head-to-head in the top 4: every game has been won by the home team. With Chicago hosting Brandeis and WashU in the last two games, this puts the records at Rochester 3-3, WashU 3-2, Brandeis 3-2, Chicago 1-3.
If WashU and Rochester win their last two, they'll be co-champions and WashU will win the tie-breaker due to their sweep of Chicago.
If Chicago and Rochester win their last two, it's a flat-out tie, and it goes to a coin flip.
Those are the only possible ties at 11-3; in all others either WashU, Rochester, or Chicago will be the outright champion.
Brandeis can only get the autobid by winning their last two and having WashU lose to Chicago and having Rochester lose at least one.
Chicago can't win any tiebreakers at 12-4.
If WashU beats Chicago, they win all of the tiebreakers at 12-4.
If WashU loses to Chicago, then the tiebreakers at 12-4 get a little hairy.

At last check, Brandeis up 5, 13-8, with about 10 min. left in the first half. Brandeis shooting 31.2% from the field, Chicago shooting 15.4% from the field so far...

Wash U is up 35-29 at the break over NYU.
The shooting of both Brandeis and Chicago women's teams seem to have adjusted to the defenses over the final 10 minutes of the half. Brandeis shot 32.3% for the half, while Chicago shot 28% for the half.
Case defeated CMU by a score of 63-49 on the women's side.
Waiting for final between Emory and Rochester.

I don't know if the final score of the Rochester/Emory women's game was announced over the loudspeaker at Ratner, but something just fired up the Chicago women.
With Emory beating Rochester by a score of 59-56 today, Chicago and Wash U are now the sole co-leaders of the UAA women's race at the moment. Victories by both Chicago and Wash U in the next hour will mean that the men's and women's UAA titles will be decided in Chicago on Saturday in unofficial "one game playoffs."
Brandeis led 32-24 with about 18 min. left in regulation, but Chicago just went on a 7-0 run to cut the Brandeis lead to 1 point.

Chicago is now up 48-42 with 7:07 left.
Chicago has just matched their biggest lead of the game-- the Maroons also had a 6 pt. lead early in the first half.
Chicago is shooting 41.3% from the field for the game, while Brandeis is shooting 30.4% from the field.

Dear Wash U,
You have the worst online statistics of any team I've visited so far. PLEASE- if you can't do it better- DON'T BOTHER DOING IT AT ALL!
There were 10 minutes left and there wasn't an update for (still counting..) 11 minutes!

I have been quiet not wanting to jinks anything these pat few weeks but Wow what a double header we just had at the Rat, both the Maroon men and women make second half comebacks to beat Brandeis and with that put their fate in their own hands for next weeks home double header against Wash U where noth will have a title shot!

So the only conference in D3 without a tournament ends up with a final game doubleheader to decide both the men's and women's outright champions (no tie-breakers this year).
The scheduling gods are smiling today.

I'm standing by my earlier prediction that Wash, Rochester, and Chicago will all get in...regardless of the results in Chicago next week. Brandeis is in a weak region, so they probably still have a chance too. Although the WIAC has surpassed the UAA this year as the best women's conference in D3, the future looks bright for the UAA...most of Chicago and Wash's talent is in their frosh/soph classes. I am very sad that I cannot attend the big games at Ratner next week...that will be a great atmosphere!

There's a lot of talent there but McFarlin will be back as a senior next year which will make the team even better. With both her and Evans, perhaps the team will have a real inside game again.

From what I read earlier in the year, Jaimie McFarlin is actually going to be back as a redshirt senior next year. She expects to get a waiver from the NCAA to play a 5th year due to when she tore her ACL and she's in a 5yr program at Wash U. So, there's two more years of Jaimie McFarlin to go. This team could be scary over the next couple of years!

I just checked the ECAC web site--
Brandeis and NYU have filed declarations to the ECAC to be considered for selection to the ECAC New England and ECAC Metro tournaments respectively. Rochester has also declared to be considered for selection for the ECAC Upstate tournament, but I think that Rochester will get a Pool C invite to the NCAAs.
NYU, at 14-10, is playing on Saturday to get into the ECAC Metro tournament, with Brandeis on the bubble for a Pool C, but a definite lock for the ECAC New England tournament. If Brandeis does not get a Pool C invite to the NCAA tournament, Brandeis will most likely be the #1 seed in the ECAC New England tournament. At least, there will up to 3 more post-season games at home for Brandeis if the NCAA does not take them. Brandeis needs a win on Saturday to keep their NCAA hopes alive, otherwise Brandeis will be going to the ECAC tournament.
(Comment: 3 games this season now where Brandeis shot less than 20% from the field in a half? As Lurch of the Addams Family would say--oooooh.)
I'm also surprised that the Chicago women are also considered to be on the bubble-- I thought that Chicago would have clinched a Pool C invite with the 2 victories over the weekend.

I have been going over the regional rankings yesterday, and the situation with Brandeis seems to be similar to NYU's situation 2 years ago. 2 years ago, NYU was going into the game at Brandeis having lost 3 straight UAA contests. After going 5-2 in UAA play in January of 2006, NYU suffered some injuries and went 2-4 in their next 6 UAA games. As a result, everybody in the UAA including the NYU supporters thought that NYU needed a road win at Brandeis to get into the NCAA tournament. After Brandeis won at Auerbach Arena on the final UAA game of the season to give NYU their 4th straight loss, even the NYU fans thought that NYU was out of the NCAAs-- 7 in region losses seemed to be too many to get into the NCAAs, and a 4th place UAA finish at 7-7 seemed to be too low to deserve a Pool C bid. An uproar ensued the following night when NYU actually got a Pool C bid at 18-7 in region. NYU then went on to lose the first round game to Williams.
I think that there will be even more of an uproar if the Brandeis women lose on Saturday and still get in to the NCAAs as a result-- although the #5 ranking in the Northeast seems to be correct when you take strength of schedule and results vs. common regional opponents into consideration.

Isn't it obvious? The N and the Y in the name? Come on, how many athletic teams from New York get any love outside of WFAN's broadcast range?
But seriously, some times the coach comes across as a little too intense, and her team plays like they are a little too intense. I've never minded it, but it rubs some people the wrong way.

Congratulations to University of Chicago for ending Wash U's streak of 10 straight UAA titles with a 76-53 win today. Chicago takes the Pool A bid from the UAA.
That being said, as a Bears fan, I'll take 10-4 and 2nd in the UAA after Jaimie McFarlin got hurt...I thought all chances for a title/successful season were gone at that point.
Wash U, Rochester, and Brandeis will need Pool C bids if they are to get into the NCAA Tourney.

Great opening night for the UAA on the women's side...all 4 teams advanced to the 2nd round. All games were close...
Chicago by 3
Wash by 1
Brandeis by 3

When all is now said and done, I think the UAA was down this year as a whole but I also think the schools are all tightening up (save CMU). Next year will be interesting as I think WU, Emory, Case and NYU will be improved. I think UC could improve (a lot of turnovers this year that should decrease nect season), I think RU should be the same (but Shieble gets a lot out of his talent so they could improve), I think Brandies could go either way (I think guard play will be better).
Probably shouldn't have had 4 in NCAA's, but seems like the "rep" of the teams, like the Polar Bears and others will always get them the benefit of the doubt.
Fun season, not enough online fan support so the board hasn't been as much fun.....Where are Sandman and Allan when you need them...... :-\

Bowdoin might not've belonged by your definition but they beat a conference champ on that team's home floor so the numbers -- which were overwhelming -- were borne out in the tournament.

Pat,
These were just thoughts but I am thinking that The Polar Bears, Wash U, Brandeis etc have rep, and deservidly so. But there were teams out there that had better records, for example I watched LVC after Isaw an update on D# Hoops realized that Goclowski was the coach and he was a former assistant at Brandeis. They lost 5 games ALL to 2 teams that were in the tourny, Albright and a final 4 team Messiah. They lost 2 games in season to them but beat Albright in the conference semi's, then went on to lost a 7 point decision in the Conference Championship at Messiah. At 23-5, that seems better to me then Wash U or Brandeis who was 18-7 (18-6 in region) and needed nailbiters and final shot wins beating the likes of Case only to get somoked at Kean (as did Chicago).
Piont is I think like NYU a couple years ago, reputation helps....Quality of Wins or not.

I think the point of strength of schedule measurements is to say that not all 22-5 records are the same. Lebanon Valley likely would not have been 22-5 against Brandeis' schedule, as Brandeis' opponents were .614 on the season, compared to Leb Val's .514.

Great article on a really crappy situation. i know darn well that i'd pay $5.00 a pop to see my Aggies play - more actually as most play-off games run at least six dollars a game. Lucky for us here in the MAC Freedom, the longest distance is to Manhattanville in Purchase, NY. Maybe schools could negotiate for lower gas prices for a season - there's got to be some way!

Hello, I just wanted to give my comments on some recent developments.
I could not have imagined back in March that Brandeis would hand both Janice Quinn and Gary Fifield their final losses of their careers as head coaches of their respective basketball teams.
It is the end of an era for NYU women's basketball as Janice Quinn announced her retirement from coaching basketball yesterday due to personal health issues. Janice Quinn will still run the day to day operations of the NYU athletics department as associate Athletic Director, but she will be missed on the UAA scene. I was present at Coles Center when Emmanuel beat NYU in the NCAA tournament in 2001, and then a few years later when the Brandeis women's basketball team won at NYU. Although other UAA women's basketball teams were able to win at NYU last year, Brandeis is still looking to get its 2nd victory in women's hoop as the road team at NYU.
In other news, the Brandeis schedules are now up on for both men's and women's basketball teams. I'm looking forward to see Brandeis play Widener in November, as well as seeing Emmanuel come to the Auerbach Arena for the first time. The Brandeis women will also go to Providence, RI to play RI College in the non-conference portion of the schedule. Wheaton (MA) and Tufts are also games of interest in the local portion of the schedule as well.
Update: The Brandeis v. Widener game is the first game of this year's so-called "Brandeis Women's Basketball Tip-off Tournament" (Technically now being held on the second weekend of the season instead of the first under the new rules.) Bowdoin and Western Connecticut will also be coming to the Auerbach Arena, with Brandeis playing one of these teams the following day.
I hope to hear from others soon....

I don't think that the AP article itself is notable, but the fact that it is on ESPN is. Those womens basketball news stories don't change on that site for weeks, so it should get plenty of clicks. Great publicity for NYU and the UAA; although not the best of circumstances.
I don't believe the retirement of the Southern Maine coach was on ESPN.com (and his resume was also phenomenal).
Sometimes Pat, you should relax and take comments for what they are.

My thoughts on opening weekend as the Brandeis women's basketball team starts their season tonight against WPI in what should be an interesting ball game--
1.) Wash U should be back on track to challenge Chicago's current hold on the UAA title assuming that Jaimie McFarlin stays healthy. McFarlin led Wash U to a victory Saturday against a young Concordia IL team, but Wash U seems to have balanced scoring and defense among all of its players from what I could grasp from the KWUR audiocast on Saturday.
2.) Chicago wins the Midway Classic again, with Chicago first year student Bryanne Halfhill leading the team in scoring through the first 2 games and picking up the Midway Classic tournament MVP award. It is a little bit early since not all of the women's basketball teams have started play yet-- Rochester won't start until this Friday-- but Bryanne Halfhill is throwing her hat in the ring to be in consideration for UAA Rookie of the Year honors at the end of the season-- there are many games to go yet and Ms. Halfhill will have to prove herself in conference play as well as the rest of the non-conference season.
3.) I would like NYU to give a little explanation as to Chris Kosiba leaving the school entirely. (Mr. Kosiba also used to be the head coach of NYU's golf team at the time of Janice Quinn's retirement, and he is no longer on the golf coaching staff either.) From what I gather, it probably happened in mid October, thereby explaining the hiring of former NYU basketball standout Chiene Joy Jones as an assistant coach at NYU. Originally, both Chris Kosiba and Stefano Trompeo were going to be the associate interim head coaches of the women's basketball team. Mr. Kosiba's departure from NYU leaves Stefano Trompeo as the current interim head coach at NYU, with Levester Thompson and Chiene Joy Jones as assistant coaches. Trompeo picked up his first win as a coach on Saturday as NYU defeated Mt. St. Mary 61-45.
4.) On the volleyball track-- congrats to Emory on winning their NCAA regional on Saturday. Brandeis chose not to defend their ECAC New England volleyball title over the weekend due to injuries-- the decision was made just before Brandeis left for the UAA tournament. Wash U and Carnegie Mellon lost in their NCAA regionals in volleyball-- Wash U lost to Ohio Northern in the Great Lakes regional final at Wittenberg, and Carnegie Mellon lost to regional host Juniata in the regional semifinal round. (Just a response to Oshdude there.)

My thoughts on today's Brandeis v WPI game:
(1) WPI is a scrappy ball team, and Brandeis only beat WPI by 6 pts last year at WPI, so I came into this game expecting that Brandeis was only going to win this game by about 10 pts. I was not expecting that Brandeis was going to lead by 27 pts with 2:25 left in the first half on the strength of Brandeis's 3 pt shooting (Brandeis hit 7-11 from 3 pt range in the first half), but the Judges could not hit a 3 in the second half (0-5 from downtown), which enabled WPI to try to make a comeback. WPI got the lead down to 13 pts, but Brandeis held on from there for the victory. However, WPI did enough in that second half to make me think of the Emory at Brandeis game from last year, where the Emory Eagles came back from 27 down in the first half to tie the game with 10:00 to go and eventually win the game.
(2) In Brandeis rookie action, Kelly Ethier (#1) got a start for the Judges and had 2 pts, 2 assists, 2 turnovers, 2 rebounds, and 1 block in 14 min of action. Brandeis rookie Morgan Kendrew (#31) came off the bench and had 5 pts, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist in 25 minutes of action. Shannon Hassan (#5) had 1 rebound in 3 minutes of action.
(3) Jessica Chapin led Brandeis with 18 pts, 2 rebounds, and 6 steals. Lauren Orlando had 11 pts, 6 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal. Lauren Rashford did not have a bad game at point with 9 points, 4 assists and 1 turnover.
Next up: Widener on Saturday (1st round of the Brandeis Tip-off Invitational).

A quick summary of the UAA this week:
(1) Wash U played in their traditional tip-off tournament with rival national powers DePauw and Illinois Wesleyan plus this year's invitee Central College of Iowa. Wash U hosted the tip-off this year (The host schools go on a 3 year rotation between Wash U, DePauw, and Illinois Wesleyan). Illinois Wesleyan won the tip-off tournament, defeating Wash U in the championship game by 3 pts. DePauw took third place.
(2) Chicago got upset on the road by Carroll College of Wisconsin on Saturday. Molly Hackney led the Maroons with 14 pts and Chicago rookie Bryanne Halfhill contributed with 13 pts in the loss.
(3) Brandeis, NYU, Rochester, and Emory all won their weekend tournaments. More later on...
(4) Carnegie Mellon and Case each challenged OAC teams Muskingum and Capital in a weekend tourney that was hosted at CMU over the weekend. Case went 1-1 v the OAC schools, while CMU went 0-2. Case was able to defeat Capital on Saturday.
In that tournament, Case offered up a potential UAA rookie of the year candidate to challenge Chicago's Bryanne Halfhill for that spot. Case's #44 Erin Hollinger led the Spartans in scoring in the "UAA/OAC Challenge", averaging 21 pts per game over the weekend.
(5) As for the weekend tournaments--
a.) Rochester was able to easily defeat Hamilton and Moravian at the Palestra.
b.) NYU easily handled FDU-Florham on Friday without the services of Jessica McEntee, who was under the weather that day. NYU went on to win the tournament.
c.) Emory was able to defeat NC Wesleyan and Baruch at the Woodruf PEC to go to 4-0 on the season. Emory has one more game before their Dec. 2 test v. national power Oglethorpe, and the Eagles could go into their showdown with their Atlanta rival with an unblemished record.
d.) Brandeis was able to defeat both Widener and preseason #15 ranked Bowdoin in their tip-off tourney over the weekend. Brandeis's Jessica Chapin and Lauren Orlando made the all-tourney team, with Lauren Orlando the tournament MVP. Brandeis's #15 Diana Cincotta got to start for the first time in her collegiate career over the weekend, starting in both games of the tip-off tourney.
I would probably suggest that the most outstanding Brandeis rookie of the Brandeis Tip-off tournament is Brandeis's #31 Morgan Kendrew. Kendrew contributed 7 pts and 5 rebs in 14 min of action in the win against Widener, and 9 pts and 2 rebs in 14 min of action in the win against Bowdoin.
(1) Wash U played in their traditional tip-off tournament with rival national powers DePauw and Illinois Wesleyan plus this year's invitee Central College of Iowa. Wash U hosted the tip-off this year (The host schools go on a 3 year rotation between Wash U, DePauw, and Illinois Wesleyan). Illinois Wesleyan won the tip-off tournament, defeating Wash U in the championship game by 3 pts. DePauw took third place.
(2) Chicago got upset on the road by Carroll College of Wisconsin on Saturday. Molly Hackney led the Maroons with 14 pts and Chicago rookie Bryanne Halfhill contributed with 13 pts in the loss.
(3) Brandeis, NYU, Rochester, and Emory all won their weekend tournaments. More later on...
(4) Carnegie Mellon and Case each challenged OAC teams Muskingum and Capital in a weekend tourney that was hosted at CMU over the weekend. Case went 1-1 v the OAC schools, while CMU went 0-2. Case was able to defeat Capital on Saturday.
In that tournament, Case offered up a potential UAA rookie of the year candidate to challenge Chicago's Bryanne Halfhill for that spot. Case's #44 Erin Hollinger led the Spartans in scoring in the "UAA/OAC Challenge", averaging 21 pts per game over the weekend.
(5) As for the weekend tournaments--
a.) Rochester was able to easily defeat Hamilton and Moravian at the Palestra.
b.) NYU easily handled FDU-Florham on Friday without the services of Jessica McEntee, who was under the weather that day. NYU went on to win the tournament.
c.) Emory was able to defeat NC Wesleyan and Baruch at the Woodruf PEC to go to 4-0 on the season. Emory has one more game before their Dec. 2 test v. national power Oglethorpe, and the Eagles could go into their showdown with their Atlanta rival with an unblemished record.
d.) Brandeis was able to defeat both Widener and preseason #15 ranked Bowdoin in their tip-off tourney over the weekend. Brandeis's Jessica Chapin and Lauren Orlando made the all-tourney team, with Lauren Orlando the tournament MVP. Brandeis's #15 Diana Cincotta got to start for the first time in her collegiate career over the weekend, starting in both games of the tip-off tourney.
I would probably suggest that the most outstanding Brandeis rookie of the Brandeis Tip-off tournament is Brandeis's #31 Morgan Kendrew. Kendrew contributed 7 pts and 5 rebs in 14 min of action in the win against Widener, and 9 pts and 2 rebs in 14 min of action in the win against Bowdoin.

(1) Wash U played in their traditional tip-off tournament with rival national powers DePauw and Illinois Wesleyan plus this year's invitee Central College of Iowa. Wash U hosted the tip-off this year (The host schools go on a 3 year rotation between Wash U, DePauw, and Illinois Wesleyan). Illinois Wesleyan won the tip-off tournament, defeating Wash U in the championship game by 3 pts. DePauw took third place.
Wash U lost due to lousy shooting, particularly on layups, and the stellar play of IWU player Christina Solari, she of 21 pts and 17 rebounds. McFarlin and Evans kept missing layups (I keep missing Beehler in those situations), though Evans hit 5 of 6 FTs. Alex Hoover, who had been doing quite well, had a bad night. BTW, I don't know if it has been mentioned anywhere here, but in addition to the identical hometown being a giveaway, Dani Hoover looks A LOT like big sister Alex.
Kathryn Berger was the star of the game for WashU despite fouling out. Despite being listed as a forward, I hope I don't jinx her by hoping she might be the first two way low post player since Fischer. Beehler was a great power forward, but I don't remember her really going back and forth scoring and defending on the inside like Fischer did, and Berger had a few brief flashes of that.

Wash U looked very good in beating Whittier today by 23, although the game wasn't really that close given that the last ten minutes Wash U had its 1-9 players on the bench. And Whittier isn't all that bad a team compared to what I'm accustomed to seeing in the SLIAC. If you are at all familiar with Wash U, imagine having a lineup where Jamie McFarlin, Shanna-Lei Dacanay, Jill Brandt, and Jancie Evans come off the bench. If I'm not mistaken, all four of those players have been starters at some point in their time at Wash U, and not just for a game or two. If this team gets better over the course of the season...

Ditto for today's game against Carthage except the margin of victory was 29 points and the top nine players were on the bench for only the last seven minutes of the game.

A quick summary of the UAA for the past week:
(1) As previously discussed, Wash U won the McWilliams Classic over the weekend with blowout victories over Whittier and Carthage. Whittier took third place in the Classic. The Bears seem poised for a serious run at the UAA and NCAA Championships, although the conference race on the women's side will be very interesting.
(2) Chicago went to Indiana to play in the St. Mary's Belles Classic. Over the weekend, the Maroons defeated Manchester by a score of 56-46 on Saturday, and defeated the host St. Mary's Belles yesterday by a score of 73-64. Chicago's #24 Bryanne Halfhill continues on her quest for UAA Rookie of the Year honors, as she was Chicago's high scorer in both games this past weekend.
(3) Rochester continues to show their experience with two victories this week. On Tuesday, the Yellowjackets won at Medaille, 63-53, and Rochester won at SUNY-Oswego yesterday, 79-44. No Yellowjacket scored more than 11 pts in yesterday's game, no Yellowjacket played more than 20 min. in yesterday's game, and Alex Porter had a double-double of 10 pts and 10 rebounds yesterday for Rochester.
(4) As for Brandeis, the Judges also had a good week, defeating Wellesley on Tuesday, and scoring their second victory of the season over a preseason Top 25 team yesterday with an 81-76 victory at Tufts.
Brandeis put 4 players in double digits in yesterday's victory. Jessica Chapin and Lauren Orlando led the Judges in scoring. The other 2 scorers in double figures each had their career bests in yesterday's game. Brandeis sophomore Diana Cincotta (#15) had a career high 10 pts. and Brandeis rookie Morgan Kendrew also had a career high 10 pts.
(A side note: I attempted to go to Tufts to watch the game, but due to track switch problems on the Providence-Boston rail line, I was forced to abandon my travel plans at Canton Junction at 12:10 PM yesterday when I found out that the commuter rail was running inbound over 30 minutes late. A friend of mine who sometimes transports me to Brandeis games was recuperating in bed over the weekend and could not go to the game.)
Brandeis has 2 more games against NCAA tournament teams this week. On Tuesday, Brandeis hosts Emmanuel College (defending GNAC champion), and on Thursday, the Judges will travel to Wheaton (MA) (defending NEWMAC champion). The Judges will also play Babson on Saturday.
(5) Emory won at Piedmont on Tuesday to go to 5-0. The Eagles have their big local showdown against national power Oglethorpe tomorrow.
(6) Over at NYU, Jessica McEntee led the Violets with a 24 pt, 17 rebound performance on Tuesday as NYU defeated Lehman, 75-58. (Lehman then went on to defeat the top 5 ranked DePauw Tigers in their next game.) NYU players Jen Hum-Traverso and Emily Foshag also scored personal career bests in the game against Lehman. Lehman attempted 32 shots from beyond the 3 pt arc, a Coles Center record for a visiting team. (Only 8 of those 32 made it in for 3 pointers.)
(7) Case def. Grove City last Tuesday, and won at Kalamazoo yesterday. Case's Ashleigh Tondo led the Spartans in scoring both games.
(8) Carnegie Mellon was the only team to lose games last week. The Tartans won at La Roche, 57-43, but dropped games over the weekend to Olivet and Notre Dame (Ohio). CMU actually led over Olivet for most of the game before taking a 4 pt. loss on Saturday.
Coming up this week:
(1) Emory hosts #2 Oglethorpe tomorrow. Brandeis also plays Emmanuel tomorrow as well.
(2) Wash U heads out west to the state of Washington for a weekend tournament.
(3) In addition, we have our first UAA conference game of the season on Saturday as Rochester travels to Pittsburgh to take on UAA travel partner Carnegie Mellon. (Yes, the JP Morgan/Chase Scholarship Tournament is responsible for this December match.) This is the last year that Rochester and Carnegie Mellon are travel partners for basketball. Next year, Carnegie Mellon will be travel- partnering with Case while Rochester will have Emory as its travel partner for basketball.

Congratulations to the Emory Eagles on their big victory over #2 Oglethorpe today. At least I can no longer say that my alma mater was the highest ranked opponent to be defeated by a Christy Thomaskutty coached team, and that is a distinction that I can happily surrender. I'll let Coach Ron Satelle and Oglethorpe bear that burden now. :)
PS-- Why weren't the Emory live stats working for the Oglethorpe game? I was trying to get updates off the Emory website during the Brandeis warm-up and at halftime of the Brandeis/Emmanuel game and I couldn't get any.
Unfortunately, it's a shame that the UAA cannot send 6 teams to the NCAA tournament this season. (Or at least it will be hard to do so-- I don't recall a D3 conference ever sending 5 or 6 teams to the NCAA basketball tournament.)
In other news, Emmanuel (MA) is a very young team. It showed. Brandeis crushed Emmanuel today, 94-52. Emmanuel has the GNAC Player of the Year in Iman Davis plus 11 frosh on their team. The Case Spartans, who also have a lot of rookies on their team, will probably play a better game against Brandeis in league play.

I just got up an hour ago to read about Whitworth's upset win last night over Wash U in Whitworth's home opener in Spokane, Washington.
Whitworth defeated the Bears with an excellent 3 point shooting attack in the second half-- Whitworth hit 9 of 15 from 3 pt. land in the second half to make it a 12 of 29 3 pt shooting attack for the game-- to come back from an 11 pt deficit at halftime and win the game by 5. In addition, Whitworth's defense held the Bears to 1 field goal made in the last 5 minutes of regulation. Whitworth came into last night's game having made 46 of 140 from 3 pt range in their first 6 games-- 3 of which were played against Div. 2 and/or NAIA teams in Hawaii.
Wash U will probably play UAA games with the base 9 player lineup that the Bears used against Whitworth-- with Dacanay, McFarlin, Evans, and Brandt coming off the bench, the starting 5 used against Whitworth will be Wash U's starting 5 for conference games, and Wash U will add other players on the travelling squad that were not used in the Whitworth game to be used as necessary depending on game circumstances.
Based on this result and the overall quality of the UAA, I don't see any UAA team going 14-0 in conference play this season.
PS-- The Bears will probably be able to defeat Whitman today. Whitman is not as effective in 3 point shooting as Whitworth.

Well, the Whitman Missionaries just made me eat my words from that previous quote.
Unintentionally, I guess I provided some bulletin board material for Whitman-- but I was just going by their season stats before today's game.
Whitman hit 12 of 26 from 3 pt. land today and dominated the Bears. Whitman's leading scorer for the game, Morgan Krall, made 5 3's today where she only averaged 1 3 a game in the previous 5 games combined. Krall scored all 19 of her game high points in the second half, but Whitman really raised their level of play today to defeat the Wash U Bears. (Stats from today's game courtesy of Whitman Sports Information).
Wash U goes 0-2 for the weekend and falls to 4-3 overall on the season. Whitman remains undefeated at 6-0 on the season.

Thanks for the updates on WashU's trip to the Northwest.
The NWC women are as solid a conference as there is in D3. The geographic isolation makes it hard for us to assess them, until we get to tourney time, when their champion usually comports herself as one would expect a quality basketball team.

My picks for this week's action in UAA play on who I rationally think will win the week's UAA games and my commentary on those picks:
Friday, January 9, 2009-- Women's action
1.) Rochester at Brandeis-- Rochester (The Jackets's stingy defense will take advantage of a breakdown in the Brandeis team chemistry to post their first win at Auerbach since 2002.)
2.) Carnegie Mellon at NYU-- NYU
Saturday, January 10, 2009--
1.) Wash U at Chicago-- Wash U (Bryanne Halfhill is very good, but I'm not sure that she is an exact replacement for Nofi Mojidi).
2.) Emory at Case-- Emory (Case is a young team, and Emory's win over Oglethorpe proves that the Eagles are a legit UAA contender.)
Sunday, January 11, 2009
1.) Rochester at NYU-- NYU (This is the game that proves that NYU is much better than they were last year, and Jim Scheible does not have a track record of sweeping the Brandeis/NYU away trip.)
2.) Carnegie Mellon at Brandeis-- Brandeis

Just wanted to report that my impression is that WashU is going to have its least successful year in a long while. Of course, I also thought so when they started 1-3 and ended up in the championship game.
Their defense is still tight under most circumstances, but it can be broken through easily enough by a well practiced offense. I'm not the student of basketball that most are here, but I do know my dismay when the opposing team gets hot by continually threading the ball to somebody who can reliably toss in a layup.
But as usual, the least reliable part of the Bears game is the offense. Too little discipline, not enough of those threaded passes to somebody who'll actually get the ball in.
Anyway, what makes this season the one where they fall is that so many of the other UAA teams have done so well in non-conference games. The Bears may actually lose more than two home games and over half their road games.

Excellent game last night between Rochester and Brandeis. Rochester proved to me that they are a legit contender worthy of their high ranking-- at least for last night. NYU awaits for the Yellowjackets tomorrow, and if I am stuck at home due to the expected bad weather for tonight that is expected to hit the Boston area, I will listen to the NYU/Rochester audio feed and check the Brandeis v. Carnegie Mellon live stats. If I do get stuck at home, it will be the first time in a very long while that I would not have been able to see a Brandeis UAA home game in person.
I may post more on my thoughts on the Rochester/Brandeis game later this weekend.

As promised, here are my comments about Friday night's game.
On the offensive side of the ball, Brandeis played a game that would have beaten Rochester most of the time. Brandeis shot 51% from the floor, 40% from 3 pt land, and 70% from the line. Normally, that is good enough to win most games. However, Rochester's defensive system dictated where Brandeis's shots would land and how many shots Brandeis would take. I was expecting Rochester to hold us to no more than 50 to 54 attempts-- the 'Jackets held us to 49 attempts overall and 10 attempts from 3 pt. land. In that regard, both teams did their job, but Brandeis broke the 60 pt. mark, which was the goal for Brandeis coming in to the match.
It was the defensive side of the ball where Brandeis did not succeed in their mission. The goal there was to prevent Rochester from getting their game to 65 points-- keep the 'Jackets under 60 if Brandeis possibly can. (Not an unrealistic goal, as Brandeis came into the match with the second best defense in the UAA.) Brandeis made a great effort-- the defense limited Rochester to 52 attempts. Unfortunately, Rochester made their shots count as well. In particular, Melissa Alwardt shot a 3 pt game that reminded me of 3 players of the UAA past. The best of the 3 pt shooters of the UAA opponents of the past that I could come up with was Lauren D'Ambrosio of NYU. On Rochester's side, I thought primarily of Rochester alum Erika Smith, the best 5 ft. 6 guard that Rochester ever had-- but I also thought of Rochester alum Jessie Graham and her 3 pt shooting ability as well. Instead of Brandeis doing the Boston "3" Party on Rochester, it was Rochester giving Brandeis the medicine. :)
In addition, Rochester played a smart game of keeping Brandeis away from the free throw line where Brandeis could do a lot of damage. It was Rochester that was able to get to the free throw line more often to do their work. Rochester only shot 63% from the stripe, but if you outscore Brandeis 14-8 at the line, you have done your job in that regard.
With Rochester coming in with the best defense in the UAA, I came into Friday's game thinking of the February, 2005 game between Brandeis and Rochester at UR's Palestra and I did not want to see that particular game repeated at Brandeis. I was not disappointed.
I did listen to the Wash U at Chicago game on Teamline yesterday, and I saw a little bit of the videocast between Emory and Case while I was not doing grocery shopping preparing for the winter storm that is hitting Boston right now. Because of the storm, this will be the second time in many years that I will not be on the Brandeis campus to see a UAA home game in person. I forgot that I did not go to see Case at Brandeis last season-- which was also on a Sunday. I did follow that game on the Internet last season, and I will check on Brandeis v. Carnegie Mellon on the live stats today while I listen to the audiocast of Rochester v NYU.

It was the defensive side of the ball where Brandeis did not succeed in their mission. The goal there was to prevent Rochester from getting their game to 65 points-- keep the 'Jackets under 60 if Brandeis possibly can. (Not an unrealistic goal, as Brandeis came into the match with the second best defense in the UAA.) Brandeis made a great effort-- the defense limited Rochester to 52 attempts. Unfortunately, Rochester made their shots count as well. In particular, Melissa Alwardt shot a 3 pt game that reminded me of 3 players of the UAA past. The best of the 3 pt shooters of the UAA opponents of the past that I could come up with was Lauren D'Ambrosio of NYU. On Rochester's side, I thought primarily of Rochester alum Erika Smith, the best 5 ft. 6 guard that Rochester ever had-- but I also thought of Rochester alum Jessie Graham and her 3 pt shooting ability as well. Instead of Brandeis doing the Boston "3" Party on Rochester, it was Rochester giving Brandeis the medicine. :)
In addition, Rochester played a smart game of keeping Brandeis away from the free throw line where Brandeis could do a lot of damage. It was Rochester that was able to get to the free throw line more often to do their work. Rochester only shot 63% from the stripe, but if you outscore Brandeis 14-8 at the line, you have done your job in that regard.
With Rochester coming in with the best defense in the UAA, I came into Friday's game thinking of the February, 2005 game between Brandeis and Rochester at UR's Palestra and I did not want to see that particular game repeated at Brandeis. I was not disappointed.
I did listen to the Wash U at Chicago game on Teamline yesterday, and I saw a little bit of the videocast between Emory and Case while I was not doing grocery shopping preparing for the winter storm that is hitting Boston right now. Because of the storm, this will be the second time in many years that I will not be on the Brandeis campus to see a UAA home game in person. I forgot that I did not go to see Case at Brandeis last season-- which was also on a Sunday. I did follow that game on the Internet last season, and I will check on Brandeis v. Carnegie Mellon on the live stats today while I listen to the audiocast of Rochester v NYU.

I want to give my congratulations to Rochester on sweeping the Brandeis/NYU away trip for the first time in their history. Rochester now deserves be the #1 team in Division 3 women's basketball-- at least for now. However, more challenges await the Yellowjackets, starting with the Chase Tournament, and then continuing on with the UAA slate. Now only must Rochester now go 7-0 at home, but they also have more road challenges in the UAA. In particular, Rochester will have another big road challenge when they go to Wash U and Chicago later this season-- Rochester has never swept that road trip because Rochester has never won at Wash U.
Although Brandeis and NYU both went 1-1 for this weekend, I definitely believe that Brandeis had the better weekend against Rochester and Carnegie Mellon. NYU did not play very well against Carnegie Mellon on Friday, and the Violets will have to practice their free throw shooting this week to get ready for next Saturday's game at Auerbach Arena.
As for next week's NYU at Brandeis game, I was a little concerned before this weekend before I knew that NYU is a better team than they were last season, but now that the first weekend of UAA play is over, I may be able to rest a little bit easier. Saturday's game against NYU will not be an easy one, and the Violets are capable of bouncing back to win in Waltham next Saturday, but I like Brandeis's chances coming in to next weekend as of right now. That could change, however.
On the rookie of the year race between the top two front runners-- Erin Hollinger of Case had the better weekend with her career high of 22 points to lead the Spartans to the victory over Emory on Saturday. As I suspected, Bryanne Halfhill of Chicago is not going to make anyone forget about Nofi Mojidi as of right now-- I expected a little better from her in the game on Saturday against Wash U, so Erin Hollinger is my pick for Newcomer of the Week.
I don't know about my pick for UAA women's player of the week, but I have to pick someone from Rochester this week. I pick Melissa Alwardt for her 3 point shooting that helped Rochester beat Brandeis. I will give an honorable mention to my team's Jessica Chapin for her performance this week as well. NYU's Jessica McEntee had an unusually flat game on Friday, so I am not sure if she will earn an honorable mention just for her performance against Rochester on Sunday.

I went 4-1 this weekend on my picks, and got the extra pick of Rochester winning the Chase Tournament correct. I got the NYU/Brandeis game wrong, as Brandeis was held to 29% shooting and 4-7 from the charity stripe on Saturday.
As a matter of fact, Brandeis's not being able to get to the charity stripe in the big UAA games is becoming a big concern for me. Brandeis may be the best free throw shooting team in the UAA right now, but that does not matter if Brandeis is only going to the line an average of 10 times a game in the UAA's big games. Brandeis shot 15-18 from the line in the home win against Carnegie Mellon, but only 8-11 from the line in the loss to Rochester and 4-7 from the line in the loss to NYU. Rochester was able to hit 14-22 from the charity stripe in the victory over Brandeis, and NYU was able to hit 21-31 from the charity stripe on Saturday.
In contrast, earlier this season, Brandeis was able to hit 13-21 from the line in the victory against Bowdoin, and 24-35 from the charity stripe in the victory at Tufts. Also keep in mind that in the Brandeis game at Rochester in February of 2005 when Brandeis only shot 9 of 48 from the field for the game and 1 of 20 from the field in the second half, it was Brandeis's being able to score 24 points from the charity stripe in that game that kept Brandeis within 20. If Brandeis compounded that shooting effort with a 4-7 from the line that game, the Yellowjackets would have won that game 61-22.
Neither Jessica Chapin nor Cassidy Dadaos have proven to me individually that they are capable of going to the charity stripe an average of 7 times a game this season. As a matter of fact, the only time that Jessica Chapin got to the line 7 times in a game this season was the Brandeis victory over Babson. Chapin usually goes to the line only about 3 to 5 times a game, so if others are prevented from going to the line, Chapin cannot take over a game in the same way that Jaime Capra could last year-- although Jessica Chapin can steal the ball and shoot, especially from 3 pt. range, she has not proven capable of drawing contact to get to the line when her shooting game is not doing so well.
Last year, Jaime Capra may not have shot as well as Jessica Chapin, but Capra knew when to draw contact for a shooting foul so that she could get to the line and do damage. Capra went to the free throw line an average of 7 times a game last season and scored 124-171 last season from the stripe. Last season, Jessica Chapin only scored 36-53 from the charity stripe, and Jessica Chapin is not going to come close this season to getting 171 attempts from the line based on what I saw in the first 13 games. Cassidy Dadaos is not going to come close this season to getting 171 attempts from the stripe either.
Unless others are capable of stepping up and drawing contact to get to the charity stripe in the big UAA games so that Brandeis as a team can get back to going to the line about 20 times a game, Brandeis will end up with a losing record in the UAA and miss out on going to the NCAAs this season.
In addition to knowing how to draw contact for a shooting foul, Brandeis can always work on rebounding and keep on playing great defense. The shooting percentages are going to rise and fall in the UAA games depending on the game, but if Brandeis can focus on better rebounding, better defense, and getting to the charity stripe, then the Judges can get back to winning UAA games.

Sunday, January 25, 2009
1.) Wash U at Carnegie Mellon-- Wash U
2.) Chicago at Rochester-- Rochester (in a close game once again.)
3.) Brandeis at Emory-- Emory (The Eagles are too good this year to go 0-2 on their home floor this weekend, and Brandeis is not getting to the free throw line enough to make a difference in these crucial UAA games so far.)

My thoughts on the weekend:
(1) Brandeis got severely overrated in the non-conference just based on the fact that the Judges were able to beat up on a relatively down Northeast Region this year. Tufts and Bowdoin are good, but they are not as good as in previous years. Amherst is the best of the bunch in the Northeast-- based on statistics, the Jeffs may be worthy of a top 5, but even though Amherst is 18-0 so far, the Jeffs have not been tested by top 25 caliber opposition yet. As a result, I don't believe that the Amherst Lord Jeffs women's basketball team will go any farther than the Sweet 16 in the NCAA this season. Amherst is good, but they are also very fortunate to have a soft schedule relative to the UAA in that the Jeffs have not played a ranked team this season, and the Jeffs will play Tufts and Bowdoin at home this season in a single round robin NESCAC schedule. True, the Jeffs will also have to play the NESCAC tournament-- but Amherst is probably a lock right now for the NCAA field. (Sorry, but I had to rant about Amherst.)
(1A) The UAA has exposed Brandeis as not being as good a team in conference play as the Judges were last season. Brandeis cannot shoot well against tough defenses in league play and the killer is that the Judges cannot get to the free throw line enough times against top UAA opponents to win games. Brandeis only went 11-14 from the charity stripe today against a very quick Emory team that can run and shoot-- the Judges need to get to the line more than 20 times every UAA game. Brandeis also needs to run the offense a lot better-- live by the 3, die by the 3., and it is also true that if you live by the layup, you die by the layup too. Brandeis also has to get emotionally better in these games as well so that they don't get flustered when the opponent plays a tough defense. As it stands now, Brandeis will only be able to win no more than 6 UAA games at best this season-- The Judges look to be the 5th place team in the UAA out of a very good conference. Brandeis will probably win the ECAC New England Tournament very easily, but the Brandeis fans will probably be very disappointed in the way the Judges have played so far.
(1B) Rochester fell flat tonight against Chicago at the Palestra after a tough home win against Wash U. Well, the Yellowjackets are human-- give credit to Chicago in the fact that the Maroons were able to play the type of game that you need to play to beat Rochester today. Chicago played at the top of their game tonight and deserved the victory. Rochester is on the road next weekend against Case and Emory, and I would not be surprised if Rochester splits next weekend-- Emory will be very tough for any UAA opponent to come in and win this season-- NYU did prove that they are capable of winning at Emory, however. The challenge is for Rochester, Wash U, and Chicago to prove that they can win at Emory this season as well.
(1C) This weekend marked the first time that all of the UAA conference games were able to be on streaming video. With Emory now offering free streaming video of all of their home games, this makes 5 UAA schools now offering streaming video of their home UAA games, with Brandeis, NYU, and Chicago not yet offering streaming video, but have a streaming audiocast of their home games. Speaking as a UAA fan, it was great for me to finally see what the Case and Emory home courts are like during a game on video without having to pay the expensive air fares to travel to Cleveland and Atlanta to watch these games in person. It was also great to check up on each of these games and watch the live video and call of these games as the games were being played. It was great not being able to only imagine based on the audio call how the games were being played, but also to actually see the plays on streaming video as they were happening. To me, this enhanced the flavor of the UAA weekend.
Well, as for me, Brandeis is at home next week. Wash U and Chicago come to town, and based on what I have seen so far, it wouldn't surprise me if Brandeis loses 2 more games at home next week.

I personally saw Amherst play at Tufts last season and saw Amherst win that game. That game last year was the first and only time so far that I saw GP Gromacki in person. Last season, Tufts proved by beating Brandeis with defense that the Jumbos were a superior team to Brandeis that year. Tufts went on to the Elite Eight before falling to Messiah while Amherst lost to DePauw in the Sweet 16. For Amherst to then come to beat Tufts not just during the regular season in the NESCAC, but also in the NESCAC conference tournament and then appear in the Sweet 16 proves that GP Gromacki is a coach that can assemble a team that can play with the best in Division III.
(Not only that, but his record at St. Lawrence speaks for itself. It has been a while, but looking back, I remember that 2001-2002 national championship game between St. Lawrence and UW-Stevens Point. Gromacki also led another St. Lawrence team to the Elite Eight in the 1999-2000 season, where they fell to Scranton. (Of course, that was during the period when Wash U ruled Division III women's hoop.) In Gromacki's first season as a head coach, he led St. Lawrence to the second round of the NCAA tournament, where they fell to NYU.)
Based on Amherst's sweet 16 appearance last season, it is a shame that Brandeis was not able to start a women's rivalry this season with Amherst in the same way that the Brandeis men play Amherst every year, but my guess was that Amherst did not want to play the Brandeis women in the first semester and that Amherst wanted to play the Brandeis women on the same week in January that the Brandeis men were playing Amherst. Unfortunately, my opinion on that matter is that once the Brandeis women go 3 games into UAA play, then Brandeis should stick with UAA games the rest of the way-- and it looked like Brandeis felt the same way. It is a shame because it means that the Brandeis women only end up with 9 in-region non-conference games. (The Widener game is out-of-region and does not count in Brandeis's primary criteria for tournament selection.)
I was also hoping that since Amherst was willing to play Lehman, that Amherst would be willing to play NYU if Amherst was not willing to play Brandeis, but that did not happen either.
Unfortunately, because of the way that the NESCAC conference is scheduled-- single round-robin, the Amherst women do not have to play in the Boston area this season, as Amherst gets their big games against Tufts and Bowdoin this season at LeFrak Gym.
Based on their stats, Amherst should be getting a spot in the top 5 in the D3Hoops.com poll right now, but Amherst has not really been tested yet in my opinion despite their record 18-0 start. However, there is no disputing that, by default, Amherst is currently the top team in the Northeast Region in DIII Women's Hoop.
Amherst will be streaming their women's home games on their JeffCast video service the rest of the way, so there will be ample opportunities for people to take a look at Amherst.

Back to this weekend...
Here are my picks for this weekend's UAA games--
Friday, January 30, 2009
1.) Wash U at Brandeis-- Wash U (Based on Brandeis's play the past few games, the Brandeis Jury will be saving their strength for the men's game that follows. Nancy Fahey takes advantage with a Wash U team that has Jaimie McFarlin back and also has the best two point guards in DIII women's hoop based on A/TO ratio and gets the victory to go 38-3 on the overall Wash U/Brandeis women's series. No overconfidence or Sunday buzzsaw effect on the Wash U women's team's part this season in this Brandeis game.)
2.) Chicago at NYU-- NYU-- Give credit to Chicago for winning at the Palestra in Rochester last Sunday, but somehow, I don't see the Maroons following up on that with a victory over a fresh NYU team led by Jessica McEntee that is much better than last year's NYU women's basketball team. Chicago can play great defense, however, so this game will be close.
3.) Rochester at Case-- Rochester starts off on a trip that gives the 'Jackets difficulty. My pick on Friday will have Rochester winning at Case, however.
4.) Carnegie Mellon at Emory-- Emory
Sunday, February 1, 2009
1.) Chicago at Brandeis-- I'll give Brandeis the benefit of the doubt and say that the Judges will play inspired ball on Sunday and beat the Maroons, but I would not be surprised to be wrong on this pick. My pick on Sunday for this game is Brandeis.
2.) Wash U at NYU-- I'll pick NYU to pull off the upset in this one.
3.) Rochester at Emory-- Just a hunch, but I'll pick Emory to pull off the upset in this one too.
4.) Carnegie Mellon at Case-- Case, in a close game.
Here are my picks for this weekend's UAA games--
Friday, January 30, 2009
1.) Wash U at Brandeis-- Wash U (Based on Brandeis's play the past few games, the Brandeis Jury will be saving their strength for the men's game that follows. Nancy Fahey takes advantage with a Wash U team that has Jaimie McFarlin back and also has the best two point guards in DIII women's hoop based on A/TO ratio and gets the victory to go 38-3 on the overall Wash U/Brandeis women's series. No overconfidence or Sunday buzzsaw effect on the Wash U women's team's part this season in this Brandeis game.)
2.) Chicago at NYU-- NYU-- Give credit to Chicago for winning at the Palestra in Rochester last Sunday, but somehow, I don't see the Maroons following up on that with a victory over a fresh NYU team led by Jessica McEntee that is much better than last year's NYU women's basketball team.

All good points about Amherst and NESCAC. I was thinking also that if they went to Lehman, once Gromacki gets out from under some two year commitments to some schools that he'll want to play Brandeis, NYU, S. Maine to name a few out of conference teams that will help them prepare for tourney time.
I think/hope Emory pulls off that upset. Thomaskutty is a very good, dedicated coach who works hard to attract good players to Emory. Think their time is coming as she builds that program.

Live from Brandeis.
WashU 61, Brandeis 55.
WashU makes its shots down the stretch, Brandeis doesn't.
Brandeis 1 for 23 from 3 (their last shot with 3 seconds left).

Pabegg--
That 3 from Brandeis that fell with 3 seconds left last night was a very lucky 3 point shot that just happened to fall in.
Brandeis just does not have a type of player like Jaime Capra or Caitlin Malcolm this year that you can always depend on to come through in the clutch in these close games against the very best of Division III women's hoop to get the victory for you. The Judges needed one of the newcomers on the team this year to put up UAA Rookie of the Year numbers for Brandeis to be able to have success in the UAA this season.

My thoughts on Brandeis's play over the weekend:
When I posted to PaBegg on the Brandeis/Wash U game, I was posting based on the fact that I had just seen Brandeis drop 3 home games in UAA play and had a road loss to Emory. My reaction to Friday's game was based on this situation. I now have the benefit of seeing Brandeis play over the entire weekend to base my analysis.
Despite my reaction on Saturday to Friday's Brandeis loss, I will give Brandeis credit-- this was Brandeis's best overall weekend in UAA play so far. Brandeis had an inspired effort against Rochester on the first weekend, but it got balanced out in that in Carnegie Mellon, Brandeis was playing an opponent that the Judges were expected to beat. In the Wash U/Chicago pair, Brandeis was playing two opponents that could both beat Brandeis on any given night-- so Brandeis had to play at or near their best effort to win at least one of these games. A 1-1 split against Wash U and Chicago is a successful weekend in UAA play, no matter where the games are held.
On Friday's tilt against Wash U-- I give the Bears credit for learning from their mistakes on the Whitworth/Whitman away trip. Wash U was determined not to let Brandeis's 3 point attack beat them. I'm sure that the Bears were a little amazed that their 3 point defense worked that well in holding Brandeis to 1 of 23 from 3 pt. range, but when the Wash U team and their fans were as fired up coming into this game and cheering as hard as they could at Auerbach Arena in this match (The Bears fans were treating this game like they were back in Springfield, MA watching their team playing in the national title game against DePauw)-- I had to respond to defend the court to the best of my ability, and the Brandeis team also played as hard as they could to win this game.
Some good moments for Brandeis from the Wash U/Brandeis game--
(1) Although Brandeis hit 1 of 23 from 3 pt. range, the Judges were 18 of 32 from inside the 3 point arc against the Bears. Wash U hit 4 of 13 from 3 pt. range, and 17 of 35 from inside the arc.
(2) Brandeis made it to the free throw line 20 times, hitting 16 of 20. This is the first loss of the season for Brandeis when the Judges made it to the line at least 20 times. 9 of the attempts from the charity stripe were made by Lauren Orlando, and she made all 9 of her free throw attempts on Friday.
(3) Jessica Chapin fell 1 rebound short of her second double-double of her career-- she had 18 points and 9 caroms.
(4) Defensively, Brandeis held Wash U's starting point guard Alex Hoover to 2 assists and 4 turnovers-- probably Alex Hoover's worst game at the point for Wash U this season. Wash U's Shanna Lei-Dacanay had 4 assists and 2 turnovers at the point guard position when she was playing off the bench. Wash U had 15 assists overall as a team and turned the ball over 15 times, while Brandeis had 10 assists and 17 turnovers.
(5) Brandeis outrebounded Wash U, 36-33.
On the Brandeis/Chicago game--
Coming into this game, I felt that Wash U, NYU, Rochester, and Chicago could easily be 4 of the sweet 16 in the NCAA this season. After seeing Brandeis beat Chicago, I have to conclude that out of the 4 teams in this slate, Chicago could be the team that does not make it to the sweet 16 this season if one of those teams have to lose early.
Brandeis had no trouble matching up with the Maroons this season-- Chicago does not have a speedy track star like Nofi Mojidi to lead them in speed this season, so Brandeis was able to keep with the pace of the game. However, Bryanne Halfhill is the real deal out of UAA newcomers this season, as she led Chicago in scoring with 17 points and was the only Maroon to hit double figures. My vote for the UAA Newcomer of the Year in the women's race will be for Bryanne Halfhill of Chicago based on what I saw from her.
Brandeis played a very strong first half-- probably one of the best first halves of the season from the Judges. Brandeis was up by 17 at the break, but Chicago made their run in the second half to cut the deficit to single digits. Chicago was able to get back to within 5 or 6 points before Brandeis countered the attack.
Defensively, both teams were able to play well in that both teams limited the number of shot attempts that the other was able to take. Brandeis only hit 18 of 42 from the field, of which 5 of 17 was made from 3 pt range, and 13 of 25 was made from inside. Chicago hit 16 of 50 from the field, of which 8 of 18 was made from 3 pt range, and 8 of 32 was made from inside.
The key to the game was Brandeis's abilty to get to the charity stripe. Brandeis made 22 of 26 from the free throw line-- 8 Brandeis players were able to get to the line.
Free throw highlights for Brandeis: Amanda Wells hit 6 of 6 from the line, Jessica Chapin made 5 of 6 from the stripe, and Lauren Rashford hit 3 of 5 from the line on the way to a career best 18 points for Rashford for the game.
Another key for Brandeis was the rebounding: Brandeis outrebounded Chicago 38-24 for the game. It was probably the best rebounding effort for Brandeis in a UAA game so far this season.
Lauren Rashford made the most 3's for Brandeis over the weekend-- she hit 3 of 5 from 3 pt range against Chicago, and she was the only Brandeis player to hit a 3 pt shot against Wash U.

Another weekend of UAA play is about to start, and thanks to Brandeis playing in the Central Time Zone this week, I will get to open up by watching some bonus coverage of Emory at Rochester and Case at Carnegie Mellon in the 6 to 7 PM Eastern time hour before I have to go listen to my game.
I am not going to make public any of my picks starting this week-- I want to wish my Judges the best of luck on this road trip and I do not want to do anything that may jinx them. However, I hear that Chicago is much healthier this week than they were last week, so I expect to be biting my nails tonight while listening to the Brandeis/Chicago game (s). I will probably be listening in on both the WBRS feed and the Go Maroons! feed, as WBRS is in the midwest doing both games this week. On Sunday, I will also check both the WBRS feed and the Wash U videocast (I hope that the video stream from Wash U will be working better-- I have problems with my DSL connection watching Wash U's video stream.)
In other news:
Tasha Rodgers of Wash U will be inducted into the Wash U Athletics Hall of Fame tonight at halftime of one of the games of the Wash U/NYU doubleheader. I am assuming that it will be the women's game. Wash U won 4 straight national championships and had an 81 game winning streak while Rodgers played for the Bears, and she saved her best game for last-- a 36 point performance in Wash U's victory over Messiah in the 2001 National Championship game in Danbury, CT. Congratulations to Tasha Rodgers on the honor.
PS-- As most of you may know, the Canton Citizen published a feature article about me yesterday. Thanks to Brandeis's Jeffrey Pickette for doing the interview. You can read about it on the D3Hoops.com front page.

It looks like some bad news just happened for Brandeis. Going into tonight's game, Lauren Rashford of Brandeis is out for at least this weekend's games against Chicago and Wash U-- Morgan Kendrew is starting at point guard for Brandeis today and she will probably start at point for Sunday's game against Wash U.
I was hoping that Lauren Rashford was suffering from a flu bug and that she could be back next weekend, but I am hearing unconfirmed speculation that Rashford tore her ACL in practice this week and is done for the season. If that is the case, Brandeis will be playing out the rest of the 7 games this season and the Judges will not be going to the NCAAs for the first time in a few years.
As it stands now, without Rashford, Brandeis very likely goes 0-2 on this weekend's road trip. The Judges are getting crushed by Chicago right now, and I don't think that Sunday's game against Wash U will be anywhere near as competitive as the game last week.

I will still need to have the news confirmed by either Brandeis Sports Information or the Brandeis women's basketball coaching staff, but I am going under the assumption that Lauren Rashford is done for the season unless I hear otherwise. Lauren Rashford is definitely out for this weekend as she did not make the trip with the team to Chicago and Wash U, and after I made a phone call over one of the halftimes of the games to Jeffrey Pickette, who stayed in Waltham to be at the WBRS studio, I found out the source of the information, who I believe to be reliable.
As for the Brandeis/Chicago game, it was not Morgan Kendrew who caused Brandeis to lose-- far from it. She made her first game as starting point guard in the place of Lauren Rashford a game in which she exceeded her personal career best in scoring. Kendrew got a career high 14 points and 6 rebounds-- unfortunately, that was the only bright spot in what was otherwise another loss for the Judges.
Kendrew's line for the game was 14 points on 3-7 shooting from 3 pt. range, and 3-3 from the FT line. Unfortunately, she made only 1 inside basket to go 4--13 from the field against a very tough Chicago defense, and she only had 1 assist, but she did not turn the ball over. (Note: I know that point guards can score as well, but Kendrew needs to make more than just 1 assist a game if she is playing point-- otherwise we just have 3 shooting guards and 2 forwards in the starting lineup with no reliable point or center to lead the Judges.)
The problems plaguing Brandeis are the same problems that Brandeis encountered when playing the home game against NYU and the road game at Emory. A very tough Chicago defense not only limited Brandeis to under 30% shooting, but Brandeis had to take 28 attempts from 3 pt range just to make 7 3's. Moreover, Brandeis was held to 9-11 shooting from the FT line last night, while Chicago made 23-39 from the charity stripe.
Chicago played much better last night than the Maroons did last weekend, and is making a case that the UAA can capably send 4 teams not only to the NCAAs, but also to the Sweet 16 if everything plays right. I wouldn't be surprised if NYU, Rochester, Wash U, and Chicago do make it to the sectional round of the NCAAs-- right now, all 4 teams look like they will be in the NCAA women's basketball field of 63. With the UAA being ranked as the 2nd toughest conference in D3 Women's Hoop right now according to the Massey ratings, Brandeis looks like they will be playing out the rest of the season.

My comments from yesterday's rematch between Brandeis and Wash U:
1.) Congrats to Amanda Wells on her second double-double of her career. (11 pts., 10 rebs. It is always good to get one more highlight near the end of not only the season but also the 4 years for Wells at Brandeis. I look forward to honoring Wells, Lauren Orlando ("LO"), Cassidy "Cassie" Dadaos, and Lauren Goyette when they come back for their final 2 regularly scheduled home games of their years at Brandeis.)
2.) Good to see Brandeis improve on the 3 pt. shooting from the last game against Wash U. Brandeis hit 8 of 22 from 3 pt. range this go-around, with Jessica Chapin hitting 4-4 from 3 pt. range.
3.) Even though Brandeis did not get that many opportunities to go to the free throw line, Brandeis made the most of them. Brandeis hit 12 of 13 from the stripe.
4.) Brandeis allowed too many points off turnovers, and too many offensive boards from Wash U for 2nd chance buckets, but give Wash U credit-- the Wash U point guards had better games today than they did in the first match in Waltham, and Wash U overall played well yesterday.
Best of luck to the Judges against Carnegie Mellon and Rochester next week.

The OWP and OOWP numbers for both the men and women have just come out for this week, and they back up the claim (in addition to the fact that the most recent Massey ratings have moved the UAA from #2 to #1 in the ratings) that the UAA is the toughest conference in D3 Women's Hoop.
To summarize:
1.) The UAA has 5 teams currently in the top 10 in terms of strength of schedule.
2.) Brandeis has the toughest strength of schedule with a .697 OWP and a .584 OOWP. What that means is that if Brandeis can run the table and finish with a regional record of 17-6 (.723), the Judges would be a lock for a Pool C bid. Brandeis has to run the table, however, as 1 more loss would put Brandeis's final regional percentage under .700-- the Judges would finish at 16-7 (.695) if Brandeis only wins 4 out of the 5 UAA games left.
3.) Wash U is #5 in strength of schedule with a .652 OWP and a .563 OOWP. Wash U is in the driver's seat for the UAA title, but the Bears need to beat Rochester at the WU Field House in a few weeks to lock the UAA title up, as there is a tie for 1st place in the UAA.
4.) Rochester is #6 in strength of schedule with a .643 OWP and a .572 OOWP-- Rochester should be #1 in the East when the regional rankings come out on Wednesday.
5.) NYU is #8 in strength of schedule with a .639 OWP and a .566 OOWP. NYU should also be high in the East regional rankings on Wednesday.
6.) Chicago is #10 in strength of schedule with a .628 OWP and a .574 OOWP. We will see where Chicago ranks in the Central Region, but the Maroons should be on the list.
7.) As for the rest of the league, Case is #28 in SOS with a .598 OWP and a .559 OOWP, CMU is #40 in SOS with a .583 OWP and a .543 OOWP, and Emory is #41 in SOS.
Whoever survives the UAA and makes it to the NCAA will be battle tested and capable of making deep runs in the NCAA tournament.
To summarize:
1.) The UAA has 5 teams currently in the top 10 in terms of strength of schedule.
2.) Brandeis has the toughest strength of schedule with a .697 OWP and a .584 OOWP. What that means is that if Brandeis can run the table and finish with a regional record of 17-6 (.723), the Judges would be a lock for a Pool C bid. Brandeis has to run the table, however, as 1 more loss would put Brandeis's final regional percentage under .700-- the Judges would finish at 16-7 (.695) if Brandeis only wins 4 out of the 5 UAA games left.
3.) Wash U is #5 in strength of schedule with a .652 OWP and a .563 OOWP. Wash U is in the driver's seat for the UAA title, but the Bears need to beat Rochester at the WU Field House in a few weeks to lock the UAA title up, as there is a tie for 1st place in the UAA.
4.) Rochester is #6 in strength of schedule with a .643 OWP and a .572 OOWP-- Rochester should be #1 in the East when the regional rankings come out on Wednesday.
5.) NYU is #8 in strength of schedule with a .639 OWP and a .566 OOWP. NYU should also be high in the East regional rankings on Wednesday.
6.) Chicago is #10 in strength of schedule with a .628 OWP and a .574 OOWP. We will see where Chicago ranks in the Central Region, but the Maroons should be on the list.
7.) As for the rest of the league, Case is #28 in SOS with a .598 OWP and a .559 OOWP, CMU is #40 in SOS with a .583 OWP and a .543 OOWP, and Emory is #41 in SOS.

The first NCAA regional rankings just came out today.
When I read the rankings, I'm feeling like my initial analysis of Brandeis not making the NCAA tourney on the women's side may be wrong for now. As long as Brandeis remains high in the Northeast rankings, I am forced to withdraw the concession that I made last Friday when I heard that Brandeis's #22 Lauren Rashford is done for the season.
The schedule for the remaining 5 games is still very tough, but where my gut and the mathematical analysis disagrees, I have to go with the numbers right now until the numbers measure up to my gut feeling. Therefore, where I felt like giving up on the postseason chances last Friday in the interest of playing out the string, the rankings are forcing me back on the bandwagon a little bit.
Brandeis has to win out this weekend, however, to guarantee that the Judges remain high in the Northeast rankings next Wednesday. Not an easy task when Sunday's game is at the Palestra in Rochester-- where Brandeis has only won once since Jim Scheible became coach.
On the bright side, we have Rochester on Sunday and not on Friday, so I need NYU to really beat up on Rochester and wear them down on Friday to help Brandeis a little bit. Brandeis should be able to win at Carnegie Mellon-- CMU may pull off some surprises, but I don't think that it's going to be anything that Brandeis cannot handle. Fridays may draw the crowds, but Sundays are where the rubber meets the road and where your fate is finally determined.
One game at a time, one weekend at a time......
PS-- I know that Brandeis will try their very best this weekend.....

Some historical perspective....
Under the old QOWI system used in 2005-2006, NYU finished 4th in the UAA after suffering many losses in February. The 2005-2006 NYU Violets finished with a regional record of 18-7 (.720), and a 7-7 mark in the UAA, but still got a Pool C bid to the NCAA tournament. I remember when Brandeis defeated the 2005-2006 NYU Violets at Auerbach Arena on the last day of the season, the NYU fans felt on that day like I was feeling most of this conference season with Brandeis-- that their NYU Violets would be out of the NCAA Tournament.
Here was the non-conference in-region schedule of the 2005-2006 NYU Violets, with the regional records of their opponents-- NYU went 11-0 on this non-conference schedule:
1.) SUNY-Brockport (14-11)
2.) Farmingdale State (15-9) (NYU played them twice consecutively)
3.) Alvernia (14-12)
4.) Manhattanville (7-18)
5.) Mount St. Mary (23-3)
6.) St. Joseph's Long Island (9-14)
7.) Merchant Marine (15-10) (formerly known as King's Point)
8.) Montclair State (16-8)
9.) Mount St. Vincent (6-13)
10.) Hunter (13-11)
By comparison, here is Brandeis's non-conference schedule this season, with the regional records of their non-conference in-region opponents as of Feb. 8:
1.) WPI (15-5)
2.) Bowdoin (17-4)
3.) Wellesley (8-8)
4.) Tufts (17-3)
5.) Emmanuel (13-5)
6.) Wheaton (MA) (10-8)
7.) Babson (14-6)
8.) Regis (MA) (15-5)
9.) RI College (9-12)
Clearly, this year's Brandeis team played a tougher non-conference schedule than the 2005-2006 NYU Violets did, and that is helping Brandeis in their chances of getting a Pool C bid to the NCAA tournament.
This year, we are going to find out how many losses a team will be allowed to get while playing the toughest Division 3 schedule in the country and still be eligible for an at-large NCAA Pool C bid under the new OWP/OOWP system. The Wheaton (IL) men did qualify out of CCIW for a Pool C bid last year with a regional record of 15-7 (.682) for some more historical reference.
Keep in mind that Brandeis's #22 Lauren Rashford has now been confirmed as being out for the season with what is assumed to be a torn ACL, pending the MRI findings.

In what was otherwise an uneventful Friday night in the UAA, Case was able to make their game against Chicago an interesting one. The Spartans were without Ashleigh Tondo and another one of their top scorers, and the young Case team was able to battle Chicago to the point where Chicago won by just 9 points today.
After the effort by Bryanne Halfhill of Chicago in her homecoming game-- Halfhill is from Canfield, Ohio and a lot of her friends and relatives showed up at Horsburgh Gym today to cheer her on-- it looks like Bryanne Halfhill will be the UAA Newcomer of the Year when the season ends on Feb. 28. There is still 4 games left for Erin Hollinger of Case to change that perception, however.
The other games were no-drama games. If any Case fan watching this board can confirm what happened with Ashleigh Tondo tonight-- is it serious enough for her not to be able to compete for a while, or will she be able to play this weekend or next weekend?

This argument would be more compelling if NYU had won a game in the 2005-06 NCAA tournament.
I love stats and I have seen a wide range of attempts to compare D3 teams across the country. It is an entertaining task, but not an exact science. D3 will always have the disadvantage of limited non-conference play across regions to help compare teams where it matters most - on the court.
In the Northwest Conference this year, unless someone other than George Fox wins the conference tournament, it seems like a long shot to receive even 1 Pool C bid. It was great to have Washington University travel to the Northwest in December. They lost both games to Whitman (likely finishing 3rd or 4th in NWC) and Whitworth (may not qualify for conference tournament).
In the interest of full disclosure, Illinois Wesleyan came out also this season and defeated Linfield (2-10 in NW conference) by only 13 as IW had less than typical opportunity to prepare and the University of Puget Sound (2nd place team in conference). In either case, the NWC did not look out of place against a terrific team in IW.
I do not doubt that the UAA is a great conference. To take 3 of the 20 Pool C bids, when other quality conferences will be lucky to get 1 seems excessive to me. If 4 teams do advance, I hope they go deep into the play-offs to show it was the right choice.
Due to geography, in most years when the Northwest Conference has received a Pool C bid, the two NW schools have had to play each other in the 2nd round - guaranteeing only 1 school in the Sweet 16. I'm not sure the NWC has ever had the chance to see if 2 teams could advance to the Sweet 16 because of the pairings in the brackets.
Best of luck to all teams playing this weekend.

True, and the fact that Williams beat the 2005-2006 NYU Violets in the first round proves that where the numbers say that NYU belonged in the tourney that year, and your gut feeling says that NYU did not belong, sometimes your gut feeling is right.
This may indeed be the case again this year, where the numbers on the first week of the regional rankings seem to favor Brandeis, but watching Brandeis play in UAA competition seems to say to me that Brandeis would not advance past the first weekend of NCAA Tournament competition this year if the Judges happened to qualify. I've seen Brandeis get knocked off so many times in the second round anyway-- that I want to see any UAA team that makes the NCAA Tournament be one capable of reaching the Sweet 16 at the very least.

Just because NYU lost in the first round doesn't mean they didn't belong in the tournament. Someone has to lose first-round games, right?

Yes, many teams will lose in the first round. The criteria and records may not allow for this, but I would just prefer that a first round loss be by a conference X school that only received 1 Pool C bid rather than the 3rd Pool C team from conference Y. Spread the excitement and fun out a little bit. And who knows, that Conference X school may just surprise us. I think we get into ruts believing that particular conferences are always deeper and stronger. It is hard to determine when a strong conference is having a down year.

Just a reminder. Conferences don't get Pool C bids. Schools get Pool C bids.
Each conference gets one Pool A bid, which they can distribute any way they want. Then there's Pool B, for the non-qualified conference teams and independents.
The Pool C bids go to the remaining teams with the best results, regardless of conference. So the UAA doesn't get Pool C bids because it is by far the strongest conference in the country; individual schools get Pool C bids because they have stronger records than the competition.
Strength of conference may or may not translate into Pool C bids. You could have a conference that is top-heavy that is all but guaranteed to have two Pool C bids, or a conference that is deep could end up knocking each other off enough so that they'll have no Pool C teams. The men's WIAC is an example of the first category this year, while most years the opposite is the case for them.

I have to share our experience from this weekend's games. The NYU team flew out of Newark Thursday night, heading to Rochester. It was nearly the same time as the flight that was flying to Buffalo that crashed due to weather conditions. It was the same type of plane, my daughter thinks. And, when I spoke to her Friday, she said the team was watching the news, all talking about how they were in the airport with those people and probably saw them before they boarded that flight. I know they carried that with them all day.
Sometimes we forget that these players are just kids, young adults. I am always worried about travel to Rochester, because it's prop planes. Does this bother anyone else?

I know that when Rochester goes on the trip to Brandeis and NYU, the Yellowjackets do not fly-- they bus all the way. The reason why Brandeis and NYU have to fly to Rochester or back from Rochester is that when these two teams are on the road, they have to also play Carnegie Mellon on that weekend. Next year, Rochester will be paired with Emory.
I guess in the future that NYU should consider using JetBlue out of JFK to go to Rochester instead. It feels safer, and I always like hearing the pilot gives instructions to the flight attendants in plain English rather than hearing the terms "Flight attendants, cross check and all call." and the response being "Cross check complete." I know what these terms mean, but less experienced fliers may not know what these terms mean.
I have flown to Rochester twice. The first time, I used JetBlue from Boston's Logan Airport and got a connecting flight at JFK. The second time, I used Airtran from Logan to fly to BWI-Thurgood Marshall Airport where I used a connecting flight to go to Rochester.
I have flown on a small prop plane recently when I returned from Plattsburgh, NY after seeing the Brandeis men's basketball team lose to Amherst in the Elite Eight. I used Cape Air to fly from Plattsburgh Airport back to Logan-- Cape Air uses 9 seat small propeller planes on their routes, and it was an experience sitting very close to the pilot as the plane flew to Logan. It is not the same as being on a jet plane.

Congratulations to my Brandeis Judges-- both the men's and women's teams, for sweeping Rochester today. It is the first time that has happened since 1995 at least-- I have to check the 1995 result in the UAA archives, but I think that 1995 was the last time that both teams swept at Rochester. It is the first time that Brandeis has swept a Mike Neer coached men's team and a Jim Scheible coached women's team at the Palestra on the same day.

I just wanted to post some quick thoughts from today's win at Rochester, and then I will give my detailed thoughts on the weekend tomorrow:
(1) As a result of the victory at Rochester, I now feel that Brandeis belongs in the NCAA Tournament, and I have no doubt about it now. Brandeis will not only remain in the top 4 of the Northeast Rankings when the next rankings come out on Wednesday, but I believe that Brandeis will actually move up to #2 in the Northeast Rankings-- ahead of Tufts, since Brandeis beat Tufts earlier in the season. Amherst will remain at #1 in the Northeast since Brandeis has not played Amherst yet. Even if Brandeis remains at #3, Tufts cannot host NCAA Tournament games due to the fact that Cousens Gym is not regulation size, so Amherst and Brandeis would have good shots out of the Northeast to host 1st and 2nd round games. The women get preference over the men to host first weekend games this year if there is a conflict with a school that has both men's and women's teams in the NCAAs that are high enough in the regional rankings to give both teams opportunities to host.
(2) I believe that 2 wins next weekend at home against Case and Emory will give Brandeis a regional winning percentage strong enough against the top ranked OWP and OOWP numbers for Brandeis to get Brandeis one of the 20 Pool C invites when the DIII Women's Basketball National Committee makes their selections.
(3) Jessica Chapin proved today that she can play point guard and play that position at the top level of DIII. I knew that she played some point in high school but it was not her natural position. In front of her hometown friends and family, she put on a performance that was very similar to what Jaime Capra did in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last year in her home state of New Jersey when Brandeis rallied to beat Southern Maine. Jessica Chapin got her 2nd ever double-double at Brandeis today with 12 points, a career high 11 rebounds, and a career high 6 assists.
(4) Diana Cincotta also helped out today by tying her career high of 12 points that she previously set in the game against Tufts earlier this season. All 3 of Brandeis's 3 pointers that were made in the game were made by Cincotta in the second half.
(5) When Brandeis rallied from behind at halftime-- Brandeis only scored 19 pts in the first half,-- I think that some of the Rochester players who played in the February 10, 2006 game at the Palestra when Brandeis rallied from behind to win at Rochester by a score of 63-51 thought in the minds a certain deja vu feeling that the 2006 Brandeis rally was going to repeat itself. That probably helped Brandeis a lot.
I will have more to say tomorrow....

The women get preference over the men to host first weekend games this year if there is a conflict with a school that has both men's and women's teams in the NCAAs that are high enough in the regional rankings to give both teams opportunities to host.
(2) I believe that 2 wins next weekend at home against Case and Emory will give Brandeis a regional winning percentage strong enough against the top ranked OWP and OOWP numbers for Brandeis to get Brandeis one of the 20 Pool C invites when the DIII Women's Basketball National Committee makes their selections.
(3) Jessica Chapin proved today that she can play point guard and play that position at the top level of DIII. I knew that she played some point in high school but it was not her natural position. In front of her hometown friends and family, she put on a performance that was very similar to what Jaime Capra did in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last year in her home state of New Jersey when Brandeis rallied to beat Southern Maine. Jessica Chapin got her 2nd ever double-double at Brandeis today with 12 points, a career high 11 rebounds, and a career high 6 assists.
(4) Diana Cincotta also helped out today by tying her career high of 12 points that she previously set in the game against Tufts earlier this season. All 3 of Brandeis's 3 pointers that were made in the game were made by Cincotta in the second half.
(5) When Brandeis rallied from behind at halftime-- Brandeis only scored 19 pts in the first half,-- I think that some of the Rochester players who played in the February 10, 2006 game at the Palestra when Brandeis rallied from behind to win at Rochester by a score of 63-51 thought in the minds a certain deja vu feeling that the 2006 Brandeis rally was going to repeat itself. That probably helped Brandeis a lot.
I will have more to say tomorrow....

Just a few quick words-- I wanted to write more on these games, but on my previous attempt, the session timed out.
(1) Congrats to Jessica Chapin for her efforts on Friday and Sunday-- a career high 8 steals on Friday's game, and a career best 6 assists to go on Sunday to go with her 12 points and 11 rebounds-- her second career double-double.
Jessica Chapin deserves to be named the UAA Player of the Week for her efforts this weekend.
(2) Congrats to Amanda Wells for her career high 12 points in Friday's win over Carnegie Mellon. Congrats also to Lauren Orlando on her 3 blocked shots in Friday's game as well.
(3) Brandeis played their best games of the season this weekend so far. On Friday, Brandeis had 22 assists in the victory at Carnegie Mellon and did not have too much of a problem putting away the very scrappy Tartans.
(4) I really enjoyed the Brandeis rally in the second half after Rochester took a 30-19 lead going into the locker room. It really looked like a "Anything you can do-- I can do better" effort. Brandeis outscored Rochester 33-20 in the second half to pull off the win. The rally was punctuated by the Jessica Chapin to Amber Strodthoff play for the winning bucket with 57 seconds left that gave Chapin her 6th assist of the game. Then, Amber Strodthoff put on a performance in the final minute that sealed the win for the Judges.
(5) A note to JC DeLass-- please don't hit the mute button on the Internet video feed during timeouts unless you absolutely have to do it. The WYSL radio commercials don't make it onto the video stream anyway, and all the mute button does is block out the pep band, crowd noise, and cheerleaders. I like hearing the court reaction on the video stream during the timeouts.

Good luck getting JC not to hit the mute button... I bet he is doing that so what ever is happening when he thinks the station is in a break won't accidently go out over the WYSL airwaves. And I would hit the mute button even on a video feed so you don't hear me make any comments to others around me that probably aren't for broadcast! :)
Maybe the internet crew can install an extra mic for crowd noise to mix in with JC!

Terrific weekend for Brandeis, as they swept Emory and Case.
I will post more on the weekend later, but I wanted to first congratulate Wash U on winning the 2008-2009 UAA Women's Basketball Championship today. Best of luck to the Wash U women in the NCAA Tournament.
On the Brandeis front, congrats to Morgan Kendrew on her career high 15 points against Case today. Also, congrats to Jessica Chapin on her third double-double of the season and her career (17 pts, 10 boards today), and on tying her career best 6 assists today, which she initially set against Rochester last week.

Congratulations to Jessica Chapin for being named both the UAA Player of the Week and the New England Women's Basketball Association Player of the Week for Feb. 23 for her efforts this weekend.
Over the weekend, Brandeis's Jessica Chapin passed Lindsey Sensenbrenner (Brandeis '02) to take over the #2 spot on most 3 pointers made by a Brandeis women's basketball player over her career. Jessica Chapin now has made 116 3's over the course of her career at Brandeis (that is 3 more than Sensenbrenner made) and only needs to make 22 more to pass Jen Curran (Brandeis '02) and take over the #1 spot. If Chapin hits 2 more 3's on Saturday, she will set a new Brandeis single-season record for most 3's made in a season by a Brandeis women's hoop player-- Chapin has hit 41 3's for the season so far.
In other UAA News, Janice Evans of Wash U, Alex Leach of Chicago, Jessica McEntee of NYU, and Lora Turner of Emory made the Other Notable Performance List for their efforts this past weekend.

Don't worry, Jeff Pickette and the rest of the WBRS announcers. I am listening in to Brandeis at NYU right now on the WBRS audio feed. I couldn't go to New York this year due to financial reasons. I will try to make it when Brandeis goes to NYU next January.
I need whatever money I have to purchase potential NCAA merchandise next week. I cannot afford 2 nights in a hotel in New Jersey this week.

It seems like the NYU women are on fire from the last 5 minutes of the first half on to the second half. NYU is proving why there are undefeated against Brandeis on days when Brandeis is the opponent on NYU's Senior Day.
The only Brandeis victory at Coles in the history of the Brandeis/NYU series came on January of 2004, if memory serves me correctly. (Note: Year corrected. See explanation.)
Note: Just checked the Brandeis archives from D3Hoops.com, and it turns out my memory did not serve me correctly. I mistakenly put down 2006-- Brandeis lost, 70-68, in the January game of 2006. Brandeis won at NYU, 76-71, in overtime, on January 17, 2004 at Coles Center. That means that no Boston area DIII women's basketball team has ever won at NYU without having first gone to overtime. (The Elite Eight game between Emmanuel and NYU in March of 2001 was won by Emmanuel, but NYU tied the game up at the end of regulation, thereby forcing the Saints to have to go to overtime to win that one. Just goes to show how difficult it is for a visiting team to win at the Coles Center.)

Right now, I'm glad that I did not invest in the NYU trip this time out. McEntee is playing a number on all of Brandeis right now. It may be only a matter of time before the rest of NYU joins in.
McEntee got a double double in the first half alone.

Recapping the final scores from today:
Wash U 70, Chicago 55
NYU 62, Brandeis 49
Emory 74, Case 59
Rochester 103, Carnegie Mellon 52
What does this all mean?
Well, Wash U is in with the Pool A automatic qualifier.
Rochester and NYU are locks for Pool C and are heavy favorites, along with Wash U, to host next weekend in the first and second round-- of course, the bracket will still have to be drawn so that it geographically makes sense, but if a bracket can be drawn that will allow those 3 UAA schools to host, it will probably be drawn.
Despite the loss, I still believe that Brandeis will get in as a Pool C team-- the overall record in terms of quality of opposition still favors the Judges, although everyone is harping on the fact that Brandeis finished 5th in the UAA with a 7-7 record. However, conference standings don't necessarily factor into the primary or secondary criteria for selection purposes other than the fact that it would affect the overall regional percentage.
Brandeis finishes with a 16-7 regional record, 17-7 overall, for a regional percentage of .696-- naturally, I am disappointed that Brandeis could not finish over .700 in the regional percentage which was the team goal at the start of the season, but Brandeis's 9-0 first semester record which includes wins over Tufts and Bowdoin as well as Brandeis's very high OWP and OOWP should be key factors in getting Brandeis in as a Pool C. I do not know about Brandeis's chances of hosting games as a result of this loss, however, as I don't know how the secret Northeast regional rankings would fare out, but since Brandeis was ranked at #3 in the Northeast with a .667 regional percentage the first week out, I would be surprised if Brandeis radically drops in the secret Northeast rankings when the selections come out.
Also, don't count Chicago out just yet despite the fact that they are unranked in the Central and finished with a 17-8 regional record for a regional percentage of .680-- although I don't know what the expanded secret regional rankings will be when the national committee convenes tomorrow to make the Pool C selections, I have a hunch that Chicago would be #7 in the Central just behind St. Norbert. If I am right, then Chicago may be third in line in the Central to get to the national table for Pool C selection.
In a change from an NCAA release from earlier this week, the women's committee has now joined with the men's committee in that the women's committee will not announce their Pool B and Pool C selections until they are ready to announce the bracket. That means that we will have to wait until Monday to find out what happens. I know that Hoopsville has an expanded show for tomorrow night for speculation. I will be in the chat room, and I encourage all UAA fans to join in and listen to Hoopsville tomorrow starting at 5 PM Central/6 PM Eastern.

With the amount of upsets yesterday in the conference tournaments, I would say Chicago's chances are very slim. I believe the other day that 22 teams that were ranked in the last regional rankings were vying for the 20 Pool C spots and with the amount of upsets (Tufts, York, Washington and Jefferson, Eastern Connecticut, DePauw, and Greensboro) the list of teams competing just grew to the point of making Chicago's chances pretty slim. One thing helping them is that St. Norbert lost which might give them a chance to sneak to 6 in the last unpublished rankings but find it hard to come up with a scenario where they get in with yesterday's loss.

Just wanted to report that my impression is that WashU is going to have its least successful year in a long while. Of course, I also thought so when they started 1-3 and ended up in the championship game.
Their defense is still tight under most circumstances, but it can be broken through easily enough by a well practiced offense. I'm not the student of basketball that most are here, but I do know my dismay when the opposing team gets hot by continually threading the ball to somebody who can reliably toss in a layup.
But as usual, the least reliable part of the Bears game is the offense. Too little discipline, not enough of those threaded passes to somebody who'll actually get the ball in.
Anyway, what makes this season the one where they fall is that so many of the other UAA teams have done so well in non-conference games. The Bears may actually lose more than two home games and over half their road games.
This just goes to show that early season prognostication doesn't always turn out to be true. Wash U ends up winning the UAA and nearly goes undefeated in doing so (3 point loss to Rochester at Rochester being the only setback).
Think a major reason it was so hard to judge this year's Wash U team early on is cause there is not one star. Whereas other teams in the conference clearly knew their go to players early in the year, Wash U has had to try and discover that on a team loaded with lots of talented folks. Seems from the stats that what they discovered was to just figure it out game to game. Some days its Janice Evans, some days its Jaime McFarlin, some days its Zoe Unruh, and the list goes on and on. Think once they discovered that, it really fixed the offensive inconsistencies and made them very tough to plan for. That they fared so well in the conference this year is saying a lot to with the quality of the conference overall. It's really too bad teams like Chicago might not get in as they could easily do some damage in the tournament. Even Carnagie was a tough competitor this year despite their record. There are no easy games in the UAA and Wash U's run this year has been fun to watch.
Some interesting notes on the stat front for Wash U is that defensively, since the Spokane trip, they have only surrendered more than 60 points twice in their last 18 games (very impressive). On the offensive side over the same stretch, they have only scored less than 60 points once (hard to lose with stats like that).
Wish them and everyone else in the conference the best of luck in the postseason and let's hope Chicago manages to get bid #5 for the conference.

Well, I was right about two things: I don't know much about prognostication and their defense is still tight. :)
The year they started out 1-3 was after Manning and Beehler left with a large chunk of the offense, and obviously the team took some time to gel in their absence. It's a lot easier to recognize an offense built around a couple of stars with recognizable routines than 6 players bunched up from 7-9 points a game.

So, not suprising that UAA got 4 bids, but am suprised that the UAA teams are all hosting with Brandeis ending up getting a host. Definitely a good team, but just suprising to me that a team with 7 loss ended up getting to host. Gives the UAA a great chance to get 4 teams to the Sweet 16. That would be great for the conference. Would have liked to see Chicago get in though.

I'm sure that Bobby DeMartino of New Jersey is shocked as well. He is the father of former Brandeis point guard and current Northwood (Fla) (NAIA-2) head coach Amanda DeMartino, and Mr. DeMartino was saying all season that Brandeis was not going to get a break playing in the UAA and taking all of those losses. For once, playing in one of the top conferences in Division III means something, and I'm glad that all of the UAA women's basketball teams will host this weekend.
Sorry that Chicago couldn't make it in to the NCAAs, but the loss to Carroll earlier this season probably doomed the Maroons.

Women have priority over the men in the first two rounds for hosting so NYU, Wash U, Brandies, and Rochester all got their opportunities... especially considering the fact all of those teams are in different regions! Four teams, four regions, odd numbered year, hosting chance!

deiscanton you seem to be a proud support of Brandeis Basketball, and for good reason they run a first class athletic program. My daughter almost went there until a bad physics grade in her senior year put an end to that. Anyway it looks as if she will get her chance to play on Auerbach Arena.

Thanks, ichouse. Looks to be a great match if Brandeis plays second round against Mt. St. Mary.
I like this Brandeis first/second round pod. It looks to be the same quality field as Brandeis had for the Tip-Off Tournament, except the stakes are much higher this time around.
Brandeis faces W. Conn St. in the first round-- W. Conn is the third place team from this year's Brandeis Tip-Off Tournament-- W. Conn lost to Bowdoin in the opening game of the Brandeis Tip-Off Tournament in November, but beat Widener in the consolation game. When W. Conn played RI College earlier this season, both games were very close. On the other hand, Brandeis blew out RI College by 30 in the meeting in Providence, RI earlier this season. (Not to be an indicator of how Brandeis v. W. Conn will go, as each game is unique.)
Mt. St. Mary played NYU earlier this year and lost to them by over 20. Brockport played Rochester and NYU earlier this season and lost to each by at least 25. Either Mt. St. Mary or Brockport will be challenging second round opponents, but I like Brandeis's chances to advance to sectionals this go-around.
PS-- I am reading the NESCAC board and it looks like my foe FecesMonkey is pulling for a S. Maine/Mary Washington/Brandeis/Bowdoin sectional at Bowdoin's Morrell Gym.
I want an Amherst/NYU/Brandeis/Bowdoin potential sectional myself,-- preferably at LeFrak Gym in Amherst, but I will take Coles Center in Manhattan again if NYU advances as I like the NYU Pep Band when they play. I did not go to New York last week, but for NCAAs, I can go to New York if I have to. I don't think that Brandeis will be hosting next weekend if the Judges advance based on the performance in the UAA this season, but I will gladly take being a first weekend host.
But enough of that. We have to take care of business this weekend. Pulling for Amherst and NYU to take care of business in their pods. I know that Bowdoin can take care of business, and I will do my best to see that Brandeis advances as well.
I like this Brandeis first/second round pod. It looks to be the same quality field as Brandeis had for the Tip-Off Tournament, except the stakes are much higher this time around.
Brandeis faces W. Conn St. in the first round-- W. Conn is the third place team from this year's Brandeis Tip-Off Tournament-- W. Conn lost to Bowdoin in the opening game of the Brandeis Tip-Off Tournament in November, but beat Widener in the consolation game. When W. Conn played RI College earlier this season, both games were very close. On the other hand, Brandeis blew out RI College by 30 in the meeting in Providence, RI earlier this season. (Not to be an indicator of how Brandeis v. W. Conn will go, as each game is unique.)
Mt. St. Mary played NYU earlier this year and lost to them by over 20. Brockport played Rochester and NYU earlier this season and lost to each by at least 25. Either Mt. St. Mary or Brockport will be challenging second round opponents, but I like Brandeis's chances to advance to sectionals this go-around.
PS-- I am reading the NESCAC board and it looks like my foe FecesMonkey is pulling for a S. Maine/Mary Washington/Brandeis/Bowdoin sectional at Bowdoin's Morrell Gym.

Mt. St. Mary played NYU earlier this year and lost to them by over 20.
just a slight correction lost by 16, 61-45 and that was along time ago 11/15/08 first game of the season. Granted NYU was very good, but we did have a 1 point lead with 4 mins left in the first half. But NYU closed the half with a 10-1 run that we never recovered from. I did visit Brandeis so I know the type of athletes you have, i'm not predicting a win but i am very confident we can play with you and win on a good day.

Hoping also for a Amherst, NYU, Brandeis, Bowdoin Sweet 16. Will be interesting to see who would be asked to host.
Amherst - best record, mid-Mass, plenty of hotel space for a small town.
Brandeis - central location. Good facility
NYU - Can't see this option with expense of NYC and NCAA saying they are paying attention to travel time and expense.
Bowdoin - Beat Amherst 2x, but farthest away, gym area is under massive construction. Very Hard to park. No public restrooms in gym.
Time and who emerges from the weekend will tell.

I think NYU is going to make a serious run in the tournament. By serious im thinking Final 4. Looking at there bracket i dont see whose beating them. Every time they play they have the best player on the court(Jessica McEntee) and they have a real solid group of role players around her. If they can continue to host, they will be in Michigan come late March.
*Fun Fact- NYU has never won an NCAA game on the road. I found that to be an amazing fact. ( so they better host!)

Hello, Atnwriter...
Glad to see that you will be at Auerbach Arena this weekend, especially with WBRS making the trip to Pennsylvania to do the Brandeis men.
With both the Brandeis men and women making the NCAA, I may have to make some financial sacrifices to save money for upcoming purchases. For example, I did buy T-shirts from the NCAA that had the names of the teams in the field in the past, but in order to save money for future weeks, I may not be able to buy these T-shirts right now. The company that sells these T-shirts for the NCAA charges up to $30 a pop for these T-shirts! Unfortunately, although the NCAA has an on-line shop, I do not know if the Division III tournament shirts will be made available on the shop in the future, or whether the t-shirts will be sold exclusively to people who personally attend the NCAA games at the tournament sites. I would like some of these ready made T-shirts to be sold through the NCAA shop just in case there are some people who financially can't afford these shirts right now in this economy.

http://www.uaa.rochester.edu/Basketball/09_All-UAA_BKB_List.pdf
Player of the Year: Jessica McEntee, NYU
Rookie of the Year: Jacki Cortese, Carnegie Mellon
(Wow, a close 3-way race, and Cortese beats out Erin Hollinger of Case and Bryanne Halfhill of Chicago for the honor! I'm impressed-- Cortese would have been third on my picks.-- all 3 of the mentioned players made second team all UAA.)
Coaching Staff of the Year: Wash U (any doubt on that one?)
As for Brandeis players, Jessica Chapin made first team all UAA, while Diana Cincotta, Cassidy Dadaos, and Lauren Orlando made Honorable Mention all-UAA. Congrats to Chapin, Cincotta, Dadaos, and Orlando for receiving these respective honors.

Which is why Mark Simon will do the games live, and for those wanting to hear a Brandeis crew do the women's game, they can listen to it after hearing Mark Simon do our game live..... :)
(Of course, for those who want to listen to the Brandeis men's game live and who are not near the Brandeis campus, you can do so too..... However, I will be at Auerbach Arena supported the Brandeis women this weekend.
After this weekend, I financially may not be able to do any travelling, however.... This would have to be the year that Brandeis is predicted to make a deep run-- both men and women! :)

Actually, I talked to all the WBRS people, and they aren't doing a tape delay broadcast like they did last year.
So it's Mark Simon or bust. Which isn't such a terrible thing.
(By the way, Mark, if you get this, I'll see you there).

Well, it certainly has been a busy weekend. The UAA got 4 teams in last week, all 4 hosted games this weekend, and all 4 UAA schools in the NCAAs made the Sweet 16, with Brandeis getting the honor of making it to the Sweet 16 first due to the start times of the games! Congrats to the Judges on a job well done this weekend and Brandeis will prepare for a very tough Muhlenberg Mules squad which went up to Bowdoin's famed Morrell Gym and took care of business over the weekend. The other Friday game in that sectional will pit Jessica McEntee and the NYU Violets against the G.P. Gromacki coached Amherst Lord Jeffs in "The Battle of the Purple and Violet." Site and times TBD.
Also next Friday, the Rochester Yellowjackets will take on The College of New Jersey Lions in a sectional that also includes the Scranton Lady Royals and York College (PA.)'s The Wash U Bears will take on the St. Benedict Blazers on Friday in a "sectional group of death" that also includes the Illinois Wesleyan Titans and the UW-Stevens Point Pointers. Sites and times also TBD.
Now that I have time to post, I will do my personal recap of my weekend at Auerbach Arena. I got to see Mt. St. Mary take on Brockport first. Mt. St. Mary won that game, as I expected, but Brockport hung on in the second half to make it interesting, although Brockport could not complete a comeback.
While that game was going on, the second half of the Emmanuel/S.Maine match was being played just a few hours to the west in Amherst. That game ended around halftime of our first game, so I checked for a final and found out that Emmanuel had upset S. Maine. The W. Conn team was sitting around, so I informed their players of the S. Maine loss. That may have been a mistake, :)because W. Conn knew that if they lost to Brandeis next, the Little East would probably be eliminated in the first round. That allowed W. Conn to throw everything at Brandeis that they possibly could. :)
Looking back on the weekend, the Friday game against W. Conn was the tougher of the two for me. Brandeis jumped out to an early lead, but went cold in the middle of the first half and allowed W. Conn to get back into the game and take a 1 point lead at the half. Brandeis's record when trailing at the half going into the NCAAs was a measly 1-5 this season before Friday's comeback, so I was a little concerned and a little peeved.
At Friday's halftime, one of the Brandeis fans actually said to me that I was not cheering hard enough. Of course, that got me a little mad but also got me very fired up as well. The second half of that game was probably the toughest half of the season that I ever worked because of the elimination factor now present. I faced too much this season to go down in the first round to a scrappy mid-level DIII team not of the same caliber as the UAA. Brandeis was down by 10 (W.Conn 40, 'Deis 30) with 13:09 left and then the rally happened to put Brandeis back in the lead to stay. Brandeis went on an 11-1 run to tie the game at 41 with 9:05 left, then W. Conn hit a trey to take a 44-41 lead. A jumper by Orlando cut the deficit to 1, and then an Orlando to Cincotta play for another jumper gave Brandeis the lead for good with 7:21 left. Brandeis pulled away by sinking free throws at the charity stripe for the win. In the first half, Jessica Chapin's efforts kept Brandeis in the game-- in the second half, Lauren Orlando and Diana Cincotta arguably had their best second halves of the season to lead Brandeis's comeback.
Lauren Orlando scored all of her 15 pts. and Diana Cincotta scored 12 of her career high 14 pts in the second half, with the winning bucket coming on that Orlando to Cincotta play.
Brandeis did set up designated fan sections, but the crowd size was small enough that most fans sat wherever they wanted to sit. In the second game on Friday-- and also during Saturday's game, you had some of the Mt. St. Mary fans sitting in the middle of what should have been the Brandeis fan section because they did not want to go to the other side of the court to sit in their designated fan section. Of course, that did open them up to some "fan action" by me throughout the weekend. Of course, the Mt. St. Mary fans actually thought that Brandeis would go down on Saturday to their Blue Knights! That just fired me up even more--not only on Friday when Brandeis won and I said to them that they were next to be eliminated, but also during Saturday's game when Brandeis jumped out to the big early lead. Once Brandeis got the early lead on Saturday, I yelled out "Take that!" at the Mt. St. Mary fans-- a la what the old scoreboard at the former Shapiro Gym would have stated then.
I had so much fun on Saturday's second round that I may have rattled the Blue Knight fans and offended them a little bit. I apologize to the Mt. St. Mary fans if I offended you or the team in any way on Saturday, but I felt that I was reacting in the spirit of the tournament competition.
I'm looking forward to playing the Mules and their star rookie Alex Chili on Friday-- (yes, her last name is pronounced "chilly" like the food and not "Cheye-lie" like the name of the Rochester, NY suburb.) Chili may be the first DIII women's player to have 100 treys and 100 assists in her first season-- I will have to check the Muhlenberg season stats to see what happened this weekend.

Sectional hosts were announced just a little while ago...
Brandeis and NYU will go to LeFrak Gym in Amherst, MA, where Brandeis will play Muhlenberg in the first game on Friday and NYU will play the host school, Amherst in the nightcap. Winners advances to Saturday's Elite Eight match in Amherst, MA.
Rochester gets to host a sectional this weekend, as Scranton will play York (PA) in the first game at the Palestra on Friday, and then TCNJ will play Rochester.
Wash U has to go to the Shirk Center a few hours up the road from St. Louis, as the Illinois Wesleyan victory over Wash U in the tip-off tourney helped the Titans land a sectional. Wash U will play St. Benedict in the opening game on Friday, followed by UW-Stevens Point at Illinois Wesleyan.
I'm a little relieved that my sectional is not in New York City, as it will be easier for Brandeis to send fan buses for the short 2 to 2 1/2 hour ride to western Mass and the Pioneer Valley. I was a little afraid when Muhlenberg won yesterday that NYU would land the sectional on geographic concerns-- travel expenses notwithstanding.

Hey UAA folks, I'm a St. Ben's fan here checking out the chatter on this board in preperation for the Sweet Sixteen matchup with Wash U. CSB only faced Wash U one other time and that was 10 years ago in the National Championship game. What do you suppose St. Ben's will be up against when they take on the Bears Friday?
As for the Blazers they have had an outstanding season, especially after losing their leading scorer more than half way through the season to an ACL. St. Ben's success is all about defense, defense, defense. With a quick "4" in Ariel Tauer, a 6'4 post who can block shots and rebound and point guard who takes great care of the basketball it's a well balanced team with a lot of heart and determination.
Human interest note: The two seniors (Tauer and point guard Nikki Carter) have played together since grade school.

Hoosier Titan--
Illinois Wesleyan is having a great season, and going undefeated up to this point is big enough in and of itself. I did forget to mention the victory at Chicago and the other wins, but no slight on those wins-- I was just more impressed with the early victory at Wash U. :)
Illinois Wesleyan probably is a slight favorite to win out the sectional pod at the Shirk Center and get to Holland, Michigan, but that sectional at the Shirk Center is going to be a very tough one, with the Titans having to defeat Shirley Egner's UW-Stevens Point Pointers on Friday, and then probably having to defeat Wash U in a rematch on Saturday assuming that Ill. Wesleyan wins on Friday.
The sectional pod at LeFrak Gym in Amherst is going to be a very interesting one as well. I took a quick peek at Muhlenberg's season stats and after seeing those stats, I was not too surprised that the Mules were able to defeat Bowdoin up in Maine. The leading scorer for the Mules is a rookie named Alex Chili who already has over 100 assists on the season and is nearing the 100 trey mark for her career-- and she still has 3 more years to go after this! The Centennial Conference has gotten a lot better recently on the women's side-- there was a 5 way tie for 2nd in that league (I bet that our former UAA member Johns Hopkins was one of the teams in that 5 way tie) and Muhlenberg was able to get a perfect 18-0 record in conference play in the Centennial, which is the first time ever for that league. Muhlenberg is a very tough opponent and I would not be surprised to see Muhlenberg winning this sectional-- as a matter of fact, Brandeis could win the sectional, and so could Amherst and NYU under the right circumstances.
(PS-- Please listen to Ron Rohn of Muhlenberg talk about his team in the Hoopsville archives from Feb. 26. He had some very interesting things to say about the Mules.)
NYU plays Amherst in the second game on Friday at LeFrak Gym. Amherst is coached by G.P. Gromacki, who came within 6 inches of a national championship in 2002-- anyone remember Cara Barbieri and her shot that almost went in-- Barbieri almost had a miracle finish that would have given St. Lawrence the national championship against the UW-Stevens Point Pointers.
Amherst has a young but very talented team who is peaking at just the right time, as seen by those 2 blowout victories over Babson and Emmanuel. Since NYU has never won a road NCAA tournament game-- to my knowledge-- it would not be surprising for Amherst to win out the sectional and advance.
Brandeis's chances of winning the sectional improve if 'Deis is able to beat Muhlenberg on Friday and have Amherst win the game against NYU. However, Muhlenberg is going to give Brandeis everything that the Judges can handle, and even if 'Deis wins on Friday, the Elite Eight game will be very difficult against either Amherst or NYU, but I'm not sure that Brandeis can beat NYU if both teams advance on Friday.
If NYU can beat Amherst on Friday, then NYU would be favored to win out the sectional and advance to Holland, Michigan, against either Muhlenberg or Brandeis.
As for Rochester, I like Rochester's chances of making it to Holland, Michigan. As a matter of fact, I give Rochester the best shot of any of the 4 UAA women's teams of winning out next weekend and making it to Hope College. Rochester should be able to defeat TCNJ on Friday, and then if Scranton is the opponent on Saturday, then Rochester should be able to win that game as well. York (PA) will be a more difficult matchup on Saturday if both Rochester and York (PA) meet, but I think that Rochester will pull it out.

We recently arrived home to DC from our trip to Polar Bear (Bowdoin) country. The Mules of Muhlenberg performed extremely well as Bowdoin utilized the "Sixth man" strategy as the local town's people (about 1600 in attendance) cheered on the home team favorite.

deiscanton,
No doubt that Rochester should be favored against TCNJ, but the fact that TCNJ beat Kean two out of three – and the last two by double digits – should give one pause to consider that this could be a contest. The Lions were up by 21 late in the NJAC championship contest before Kean sank three 3-pointers in the last minute to cut the final margin to 12.

Hey UAA folks, I'm a St. Ben's fan here checking out the chatter on this board in preperation for the Sweet Sixteen matchup with Wash U. CSB only faced Wash U one other time and that was 10 years ago in the National Championship game. What do you suppose St. Ben's will be up against when they take on the Bears Friday?
As for the Blazers they have had an outstanding season, especially after losing their leading scorer more than half way through the season to an ACL.

Hey Scorekeeper, I'm a Wash. U. fan. Wash. U. came off a week with no games and had some jitters in the first round against Capital. They seemed to have lost that by the Regional Final, nailing every other shot.
We'll be seeing some great basketball. I can't tell you anyone in particular because there is no lone superweapon. All I can say is that anyone can step up. That's Wash. U. basketball. Weapons wherever you go on offense and defense. I'm excited. Last year, we lost our leading scorer to an ACL so we know how that feels.

I just read the NESCAC board, and I really find it amusing that some of the NESCAC fans think that this year's current NYU team is just a one-person team. Let the Amherst fans think that all NYU is is just Jessica McEntee-- they will be shocked to find out what Grace Carmen, Emily Foshag, and Megan Fox can do, among other NYU players. These 3 players and other NYU players who have stepped up this year are the big reason why NYU is in the Sweet 16 and not having another 14-11, 3-11 UAA season. Jessica McEntee is a big part of the NYU team, and she is providing more leadership this year to the NYU team, but she is not the only big NYU player out there.
Amherst is a really good, talented, young team led by a coach who has been to a national championship game and came within inches of a national title. I was asked in the Hoopsville chatroom on Sunday who I believe will get the defensive assignment on McEntee, and based on the stats, I believe that Amherst's #10 Jaci Daigneault will draw the honors on trying to guard McEntee man-to-man. Daigneault has the height to match up with McEntee, and she can steal the ball on defense. Amherst's #34, Lem Atanga-McCormick, who also has the height to match up with McEntee, may also be counted on for defensive honors off the bench. Although Amherst's Shannon Finucane may also be providing help if needed on the defensive end, asking a player 8 inches shorter than McEntee to guard her is like asking NYU alum Adrienne Rochetti (who is 10 inches shorter than McEntee) to provide the primary role of defending McEntee. The difference is, Rochetti is experienced enough on defense and has the speed to do a good job pressuring McEntee initially on the ball-- and perhaps Finucane has enough speed to do the same, but both Rochetti and Finucane would not be able to go up against McEntee in the post if McEntee beat them to the basket due to their short height.
As for the Brandeis v Muhlenberg match in the first game, I believe that the quality of the Muhlenberg starting five scoring wise is enough to make the Mules a UAA quality team. Muhlenberg deserves their national ranking based on their accomplishments so far-- it is not easy to run the table in any DIII conference, and the Centennial is a better conference than the Skyline (although the Centennial is not as deep as the UAA)-- our former UAA team Johns Hopkins finished in a 5 way tie for second in the Centennial-- 7 games back of Muhlenberg in conference play this season. I have seen a lot of Muhlenberg's season highlights on Youtube (thanks to the Muhlenberg SID for posting the clips), and I am very impressed by their quality of play.
I give Muhlenberg props and my deepest respect for being the first NCAA tournament team to defeat Bowdoin at Bowdoin's Morrell Gym-- that is quite an accomplishment. I would not be surprised if Muhlenberg won the sectional, under the right circumstances.
As I stated before, Muhlenberg has a very talented starting five-- their point guard is Kelly McKeon, who averages 11.9 ppg and 8.4 rpg and has 144 assists and 60 turnovers on the season-- the best A/TO ratio of any Muhlenberg player on the team. Their best senior starter is Lauren Boyle, who averages 14.1 ppg and 3.6 rpg, and has 84 assists on the season. Another Muhlenberg starter, Erin McSherry is the "Karen Bachman" of the team, with 52 blocked shots on the season. (Yes, I refer to an NYU alum who can block shots when I talk about McSherry.) Another big starter, Sheila Cook, averages 9.8 ppg.
The "X-factor" of Muhlenberg is their top rookie, Alex Chili, who is their leading scorer with 16 ppg and 3.3 rpg. Chili's first basket against Brandeis on Friday will give her the single-season record for most points scored in a season by any Muhlenberg player. Chili also has 115 assists,114 turnovers, and 42 steals. Chili is a 5-11 shooting guard (yes, she is 5 inches taller than Jessica Chapin), and her biggest offensive weapon is the 3 point shot. Muhlenberg puts a lot of pressure on her to provide Muhlenberg's 3 point offense, as not too many Muhlenberg players other than Chili take a lot of 3 point FGAs. Usually, Chili delivers. Chili has 94 made 3 pointers on the season-- Muhlenberg as a whole has made 144 3's on the season.
As for the bench, Muhlenberg has a talented bench, but does not really depend on the bench to provide a lot of scoring-- the Mules leave the scoring to the starting five for the most part. By contrast, Brandeis can get more scoring off the bench.
Here are a few tid-bits previously pointed out:
(1) Alex Chili of Muhlenberg went to the same high school as Alex Porter of Rochester (Walter Johnson HS in Rockville, MD), and Chili was a freshman in high school when Porter was a senior.
(2) Muhlenberg's former All-American Meghan Courtney (Muhlenberg '07) is the older sister of Brandeis's Brighid Courtney (Brandeis '12).

The NESCAC fans can think what they want. I don't think the coaching staff will take anyone on the NYU team for granted. Any team that makes the Sweet 16 has more than one dimension. The game will depend on who has the hot hand under pressure as both teams can play defense and will be in the face of the other team.

That corresponds to Adar 13, 5769 on the Hebrew calendar. To me, Mr. Paul was most involved in my life as the one who drove me to Brandeis basketball games for the past few years and as the one who would give me Fig Newtons as my snack to fuel me up before the big games. Mr. Paul was also known by many as the #1 women's soccer fan of Brandeis University, just as I am known by many as Brandeis's #1 basketball fan. His obituary is printed in the Boston Globe for March 11, 2009. I will deeply miss him and his companionship.

Posting this morning from the Holiday Inn Express in Hadley, MA. I got assigned by Hotwire to this hotel, which is coincidentally the Brandeis team hotel as well.
The recap on the Brandeis Judges athletics web site says a lot about what I was going to say about the Muhlenberg game. A few quick thoughts. Brandeis played a great team game throughout the contest, and Brandeis really contested Muhlenberg's 3 point shots-- Chili was especially contested on her 3 pt shooting. Chili only made 2 of 7 from 3 pt range, and Muhlenberg only hit 5 3's, which Brandeis matched. A close contest in the beginning until Brandeis broke it open with a 20-0 run. When Chapin picked up her 3rd foul with 3 min to go in the first half, Brandeis made sure that they would go into the locker room with a double-digit lead. When the second half began, Brandeis stopped Muhlenberg's momentum and brought it back to an 18 point lead. Muhlenberg got to within 7, but Brandeis held on for the win. I got more encouraged when Brandeis led at halftime (Brandeis only lost once this season when leading at halftime), and then got even more encouraged when Brandeis broke the 60 pt mark on the scoreboard, then the 70 pt mark, and finally the 80 pt mark. Muhlenberg broke 60 on the scoreboard as well, so it was a good thing that the Judges shot 50% against Muhlenberg's defensive pressure for the game.
Brandeis women now have matched the Brandeis men's feat from last season. Tonight, the Judges will do their best to surpass it against an Amherst squad that is as least as good as advertised. This should be an exciting Elite Eight game, and I remember what the Amherst men did to Brandeis last season, so I'm looking forward to a women's rematch version.

Good luck to the Judges. It would be nice to have two UAA teams in the Final Four. I'll be driving to the women's game today over at Illinois Wesleyan to see if the Bears can pull an upset.
I'm writing this from a motel outside of Wheaton as I watched the men's game last night. It's a tough choice with both Wash. U. teams playing tonight at the same time.

First time poster to the UAA message boards. Alum of the Iowa Conference. Saw where there was a posting for the University of Chicago assistant coaching position. Wanted to see of there were any University of Chicago supporters or anyone from the league that could give me more info? Did an assistant leave or are they adding a position? Any info on the style of play? Type of school? Thanks for your help!

In the tournament competition over the weekend, I was not able to review Amherst's performance against NYU and Brandeis-- I will do this later on today.
G.P. Gromacki proved over the weekend that he is one of the best coaches in DIII Women's basketball-- impressive victories over the Violets and my Judges, and he is going on to his second Final Four determined to correct his 2002 mistake and finally get a Walnut and Bronze. Amherst faces Wash U next in what should be another exciting battle as Gromacki goes up against the legendary Nancy Fahey and the Wash U Bears-- the "Franchise" of the UAA-- on Friday. George Fox and TCNJ meet in the other national semifinal, and whoever wins out next weekend will be a very deserving national champion.
PS-- I am very glad that Amherst decided not to cut down their nets last night-- as Amherst made it to their first Final Four on the women's side, the Jeffs were entitled to cut down the nets in LeFrak Gym for that feat alone (most teams making it to a Final Four cut down nets when they win an Elite Eight contest), but I applaud Gromacki for deciding not to cut down nets unless the Jeffs win a national championship.
PPS to Laserty-- You are acting like a fan of Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys football team when they dominated the NFLright now-- (I believe that the post should not read "What about", but "How about dem Lord Jeffs?"-- That is the way a Dallas fan would post it.)-- but you deserve it as Amherst walked the walk over the weekend.

Couldn't watch the video due to firewall issues but just watching the play-by-play on the box score, it looks like WashU took it to the Jeffs in a physical way and were just the better team. Amherst doesn't lose anything to graduation for a couple of years and presuming that more recruits are in the pipeline, this will not be their last trip to the Final Four.

I watched the video through my Firefox browser. Wash U really figured out how to play Amherst, and it showed. I think the Bears will be the favorite tomorrow against either George Fox or TCNJ, although I think that George Fox will probably be the tougher matchup for the Bears should the Bruins win the second semifinal.
The Wash U women will now play for a national championship, and the Wash U men have another half to go before they join the Wash U women in that feat, as the Wash U men are leading Guilford by double digits right now. As a Brandeis alum, I would like to play the national champions in both the men and the women next fall, and I am just glad that Amherst will not take a Walnut and Bronze this season in basketball. Let Amherst take it in women's ice hockey if they have to get a Walnut and Bronze this season.
Brandeis and Amherst need to start a regular season rivalry in women's hoop-- the Brandeis and Amherst teams have always played each other in men's hoop every season, so why not have non-conference doubleheaders in that series now?

Wash U now advances to play the winner of the next semifinal game between George Fox and the College of New Jersey. That game will be at 1 PM Eastern tomorrow on the CBS College Sports Network.
CBS College Sports's broadcast of the national title game will also be video streamed on the NCAA player in case there are people who do not get CBS College Sports on their cable system or will not have access to a TV tomorrow but prefer to watch the game on the computer. D3Hoops.com will also have a separate audio stream of the national title game, as CBS College Sports will use their own broadcasters for the video stream.

I'm just fine with you making Wash U the favorite. Deep down I think you want to guarantee a win. The Bears season didn't really get on track until after they lost at Whitworth and Whitman of the the Northwest Conference. I notice they use a different starting line up now. Wash U played very well today and I look forward to the final. Go George Fox Bruins!

After seeing Whitworth and Whitman sink a lot of threes against Wash U in December, and after seeing George Fox tie an NCAA single game record for most 3's made by a team with 14 3's made, and after seeing what George Fox's 6 ft 4 in center Shielee can do against TCNJ tonight (I watched the live video of the George Fox v TCNJ game), I would like to guarantee that Wash U will win tomorrow, but I cannot do it. I have too much respect for George Fox to guarantee a Wash U victory. However, Wash U has improved a lot since those games against Whitworth and Whitman back in December-- they improved enough to hold Brandeis to 1 of 23 shooting from 3 pt range back when the two teams met at Auerbach Arena in Waltham, MA, and Wash U played well enough in the rematch in St. Louis to make Brandeis's 3 pt shooting in the game a non-factor. George Fox has a good shot to go undefeated and bring a title to the West Coast, and this national title game should be a good one. I hope that Wash U wins both the men's and women's title games and brings both Walnut and Bronze titles home to the UAA, but the games still have to be played.
PS-- I did see a little bit of George Fox over the regular season through video-- of course I have to stay up until about 10 PM Eastern on Saturdays to see the first half of those games due to the time zone difference.
PPS-- Sage Indendi is the real deal as well.

I would love to guarantee a win for Wash U but I saw George Fox playing today. A team that goes undefeated up till now is no pushover especially with such potent three point shooting. It'll be a battle and it will go down to the last possession. The roadtrip out west was a wake up call that the Bears have heard loud and clear. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Go Wash. U. Bears!

Wash U tried their best, but George Fox was just too strong today. As I watched the last 5 minutes of the game, it seemed similar to the moment in 2007 in Springfield, MA, where I watched Wash U try to come all the way back against DePauw, but the Bears couldn't get over the hump. Unfortunately, the 2009 game ended very similarly, and the George Fox Bruins get a Walnut and Bronze home to the Pacific coast.
George Fox will be very tough to beat for the next few years to come, at the very least. Congrats to Scott Rueck and the Bruins on their victory today.

... and also congratulations to the Washington University Bears on a strong finish. They were a 3-point make away after a steal from taking a 1-point lead near the end of the game. They played hard all the way to the end.
I think that the UAA and NWC are two of the top conferences in the country and I hope they can schedule more non-conference games in the future. I see that Rochester has a couple of sophomores on their roster from Seattle. Maybe Rochester could come out to the NW either next season or in 2010.
32-0 Way to go Bruins! Coach Rueck now has 260 wins in 13 seasons at George Fox.

I wanted to follow the Wash U exhibition game at Southern Illinois last night, but the Gametracker for the Salukis website was not working, and I am trying to watch my finances these days. (In other words, I was not up to paying the $6.95 needed to follow the internet video stream for last night's game.) I'm not too surprised that the Bears won the game last night given that Southern Illinois only won 5 games last year, that the Salukis barely beat a DII squad (Quincy, IL) a few days ago in an exhibition game, and that the Salukis were picked to finish dead last in the DI Missouri Valley Conference this season.
Recapping the UAA women's basketball exhibition season:
The UIC (Illinois-Chicago) Flames of the D1 Horizon League defeated Chicago by a score of 84-67 on Wednesday, November 3. UIC led 41-19 at the half and was up by 31 in the second before Chicago was able to cut the deficit to a respectable 17 point loss-- however UIC probably could have blown out Chicago if the Flames were going all out for 40 minutes.
UIC's Horizon League rival, the Cleveland State Vikings, defeated Case by a score of 93-53 on Friday, November 5. Case held on in the first half, but Case was just overmatched by Cleveland State's talent. Cleveland State was picked to finish higher than UIC in the pre-season Horizon League coaches poll.
And then the final game had Wash U winning by 10 over Southern Illinois last night-- if any UAA team was going to win one of the exhibition games this week, this matchup would be the game in which it would happen.
I'm just waiting for the regular season to start.... :)

It looks like the UAA is doing well early in the season. Here are the records (not including exhibitions) as of the end of November:
Brandeis 5-1
Case Western Reserve 4-1
Chicago 4-1
Washington U. 4-1
New York University 4-1
Rochester 3-1
Carnegie Mellon 3-3
Emory 2-3
Overall, the UAA is 29-12. Not bad, but not as strong as last season.
Washington University recovered from the loss at Illinois Wesleyan by winning their home tournament over the weekend, though admittedly the competition was relatively weak. Not much of a test on either side of the court.

Emory beat Rochester in the first UAA match-up of the season.
Pre-season No. 19 New York lost to a 5-0 Skidmore team on the road.

Chicago dropped a heart breaker at home against No. 1 Illinois Wesleyan.
Looking forward: slow week ahead with games here and there, but nothing particularly exciting.

WUH--
Hillary Klimowicz played for the College of New Jersey (who knocked out Rochester in the Sweet 16), not Rochester. Rochester had Julie Marriott and Alex Porter as seniors last season.
Jessica Chapin joined the Brandeis 1000 pt club yesterday in Brandeis's game at Roger Williams. The milestone moment came with a steal and a layup by Chapin with 7:11 remaining in the first half yesterday. Chapin now has 1006 points for her career and needs to make 4 more treys to become #1 among Brandeis players in most career 3 pointers made. Chapin now has 134 made 3 pointers for her career-- the record is currently held by Jen Curran of Brandeis with 137 career 3 pointers made.

My wife is a teacher and a few years ago she had a girl in her homeroom who is now a starter for DePaul. I could have her pass along that quote. I imagine that it would prompt a few good laughs in and around Lincoln Park. :D
I'm assuming she wasn't including the exhibition game! ;)
She wasn't ;)

Thanks for the entire article. I really was just joking and that is why I included one of those smiley face things, but those are so overused that they seem to have almost no meaning.

See the pre-season release on the UAA Women's Basketball Page at http://www.uaa.rochester.edu for the coaches poll conducted before the season started.
To recap:
Wash U is practically the unanimous pick to win the UAA according to the coaches. (A coach cannot vote for his/her own team to finish first in the poll.) Wash U got the maximum 7 first place votes allowed in the UAA pre-season poll.
The other first place vote went to the University of Chicago, which is picked to finish second in the UAA this season.
In order, here is what the order of finish was predicted to be in the pre-season, according to the UAA women's basketball coaches:
1.) Wash U
2.) Chicago
3.) Brandeis
4.) NYU
5.) Rochester
T-6.) Emory
T-6.) Case
8.) Carnegie Mellon
Keep in mind that one UAA game has already been played, with Emory defeating Rochester on Dec. 5 in Atlanta to take the 1/2 game lead in the UAA going into the holiday break. Rochester has historically played their travel partner in a December conference game due to the fact that Rochester participates in the Wendy's of Rochester Basketball Tournament (formerly known as the Chase Tournament.)-- which has been held in January on the second full weekend of UAA competition. Next season, the Wendy's of Rochester Tournament will be moved to late November, allowing all UAA teams to start conference play in January.
My impressions of the order of finish going through non-conference play is that the team in most danger of actually finishing lower in the UAA than their predicted order of finish right now is NYU. NYU has been really struggling through their non-conference season-- losing to teams that, in the past, NYU would never lose these games to. (Historically, NYU would blow out Skidmore and Hunter, not lose to those teams.-- as a matter of fact, the last NYU loss to Hunter before this season was in 1983, 3 years before the UAA was founded.) NYU has struggled to win their non-league games against Skyline Conference opponents, with all of these wins being close ones-- and losing by 6 pts to Mt. St. Mary at the Coles Center. The last NYU win, by 22 points, was over a New Jersey City team that is now 1-7, (winless going into the NYU game) and even then, NYU turned the ball over 25 times in that game.
Emory is 3-4 so far in non-conference play, but they were able to beat Rochester a few days after giving up 97 pts to the University of the South in Sewanee, TN.
Case is getting some love on the national radar due to their 6-1 start. Case returns all 5 of their starters from last season.
Carnegie Mellon has the UAA's leading scorer at 20.4 ppg right now in Jacki Cortese, but the Tartans have not won away from Skibo Gym so far this season. CMU is 4-3 right now, but the Tartans have not won a UAA game over the past few years. NO other Tartan is averaging double figures in scoring, and the Tartans have not shot well from 3 pt land so far this season.
Other than the loss at Emory, Rochester has only lost to Nazareth in non-league play, but has beaten William Smith and Union.
I concur that Wash U and Chicago right now are the top two teams in the UAA to beat--they are playing pretty close to what you would expect those teams to be going into UAA play.

Despite my handle, I am not a current Tartan BASKETBALL player - I am a CMU football alum that suited up for the Tartans from 2004-07. I'm currently a graduate student at Pitt, so I still watch the basketball teams play when I get the chance. I actually played pickup games with several members of the women's team for most of the summer.
Positives:
1) Cortese can score & rebound. She should continue her solid play.
2) Freshman point guard Brit Phillips looks like a keeper. She's not a great shooter & she turns it over a little too much, but she hustles, plays good defense, and handles the ball pretty well. By the end of the year, she ought to hold up pretty well. Freshman F/C Emily Peel has shown some potential, too.
3) Fifth-year senior Rachelle Roll, despite playing hurt, is providing good leadership. She was more dynamic as a freshman/sophomore; injuries have robbed her of some quickness. But she can still crash the boards.
Negatives:
1) As mentioned...struggles from the three-point line. The Lady Tartans are short on traditional post players, so they have to be able to make some treys. So far it's not happening.
2) They turn the ball over too much. Way too much.
3) Injuries & a lack of depth are going to hurt the team in UAA play. They have struggled to keep more than eight players healthy. Just when they get one back, somebody else goes down.
I think the team will be competitive, but it's hard to imagine them making a big splash in the UAA. 10 wins and getting off the UAA schneid would be a start.

WUH--
Have a good time at the game tonight. I will be observing it on the internet video feed at 8 PM Eastern. I am looking forward to see if Brandeis can play better in the next 2 games before UAA play as well. The Brandeis women go 5 miles west down Rte. 30 into Weston, MA (the next town over from Waltham) to play Regis on New Year's Eve. Hopefully Brandeis can score more than 70 pts in one of the next two games before UAA play starts. (Brandeis was not able to score 70 in a game all first semester.)

Washington University moved to 9-1 after taking out Ripon (5-3) 80-56 at the near-empty Field House tonight.
The women started slow and played slow through most of the first half. One example: at one point in the first half, the Ripon guard was able to inbound the ball to herself off the back of Alex Hoover. And, the Bears struggled a little more than usual with the full court press. Washington University looked much better in the second half.
The scoring and offense in general was distributed relatively evenly among the best on the team. I thought Kathryn Berger had a good game in only 16 minutes of play. I was surprised by the 5-10 shooting statistic. And, surprised by the 16 minute statistic. I swear she played more than 16 minutes.
I had more to say about the game before I made the mistake of looking at the result of the Men's game. I have to admit, I feel a little melancholy.
The Bears are back in action on Monday against Webster University. Good luck to the other UAA teams in action through the weekend.

Wow. That's rough. it does make it 'not as bad' of a mistake because it was 18 mins through the second half (giving Witt time to recover). If you look at it as similar to a bad foul call, it wasn't that bad relative to the momentum of a game. It was a very unique error (which is why it deserves that media attention). I have seen players clearly and cleanly block three point shots and get called for fouls because of 'preemptive whistles'. So obviously a crappy loss for Witt, but the beauty of basketball is that rarely is a game dependent on one play.
With that being said, how is Case looking this year? Is it finally their time to make noise in the UAA. They have a big matchup with Mount Union coming up. Anyone with info?

I took a look at the play by play sheet for the Case--Wittenberg game and I found where the scorer got confused. Look at the jumper credited to Case's #10 Caitlin Henry with 13:02 remaining in the ball game. That was the bucket that should have been credited to Wittenberg's #10 Carrie Dyer, but the scorer gave the basket to the wrong #10. The error is somewhat obvious when the play by play sheet is read, because there was an offensive rebound before the shot (off a missed FT by Wittenberg), which indicated that Wittenberg had possession of the ball when the shot at 13:02 took place, but no turnover was recorded (which would have given possession to Case) on the play by play sheet before the basket credited to Case's Caitlin Henry was scored.
Unfortunately, there is no video replay in Division III, so I don't know how the game can be reviewed.
The play by play sheet can be found on the Case athletics web site with the box score for the Case-- Wittenberg game.

That's absolutely ridiculous; the decision is uncalled for; the NCAA needs to change a rule here-I'm sure even Case Western would agree. What happens on the floor MUST be recorded properly in the official book; to me, the answer should have been to have the officials confab with the table and correct it... ie one of those correctable errors (such as a player with 5 fouls on the court).

Quote from: hopefan on January 01, 2010, 02:54:42 PMFWIW, at Wittenberg, there's a very large (and steep) distance between the scorer's table and the media area, which I believe is where the statskeepers sit. They're not next to one another, or even across the floor; the press is wa-a-a-ay up at the top of the 3000 seat arena. Not that that should be an impediment to getting it right, but it would have been a hassle to have such a meeting.

I am given to understand (from the radio play-by-play man who is an assistant SID at Witt) that there was a similar snafu in the game that preceded this one, the men's consolation game between Ohio Dominican and Olivet, although I don't know the details of it. Olivet won that game by a dozen, so it wouldn't have been as crucial an error.

williamsondebbie@yahoo.com would be able to provide you with directions to submit a rules change proposal as she is the Secretary-rules editor for NCAA Women's Basketball.
The game officials could have used all resources at their disposal to determine if this book keeping error could have been corrected.
By rule, if the error can not be identified, then the offiicals go with the home scorebook as that is deemed to be the official book.
I don't think any rule change needs to be entered for this situation.....just better game management as is often the issue when these types of situations arise.
A 3,000 seat area is great....having stats people that far away from the action isn't so great when something like this happens.

Quote from: d3 new england fan on January 05, 2010, 08:13:32 AMI believe this sums up the situation nicely. As I understand what happened (my source is inherently biased, but I trust his/her objectivity), the game officials were unaware of the error, and when it was brought to their attention (by almost everyone else in the arena) at the next deadball, they met with the scorer, who adamantly denied that there was any error. The officials checked with the head coaches, one of whom insisted on the correction and the other of whom demurred, deferring to the scorer. In this situation, with the officials unable to personally verify the error and getting contradictory input, the decision was made to go with the book.

It's worth noting that there was something like 13 minutes left to play in the game. Although Wittenberg definitely got screwed here, they still had plenty of opportunities to overcome the error and win the game; indeed, they had a 3-point lead with 0:26 left and failed to close it out. It's not as if they managed the game to a personally-kept score different from the one on the scoreboard.
No rule change that I can think of would fix the problem here. It boils down to ensuring that there is accurate scorekeeping, which is an internal issue for the host institution.

ULTRA-QUICK UAA UPDATE
The UAA went 5-3 in the last week before conference play begins. New York University destroyed both FDU Florham and St. Joseph's while the University of Chicago beat the Milwaukee School of Engineering by 19 points. Washington handled Big Bend Blvd rival Webster University (88-40). And, The University of Rochester beat Medaille (61-59).
Case Western lost to a very tough Mount Union (77-57) and Carnegie Mellon dropped a close one to Stevenson. A similar story with Brandeis who fell to the University of New England (81-77).
It should be an interesting first weekend.

My thoughts going into the weekend:
Well, this conference season is going to be very interesting. To date, none of the UAA teams have been successful against teams currently ranked in the top 25 outside of the league. (I am not counting teams that were ranked in pre-season and have dropped out of the top 25 since that time.)
2 teams currently ranked in the top 25-- Wash U and Chicago -- fewer than in previous years, but the UAA always has teams that are among the best 75 DIII women's basketball teams in the country-- and I wouldn't be surprised to see all of the UAA teams somewhere on that list if we were ranking the best 75 teams in DIII women's hoop.
Question 1: How does Brandeis react to a loss against a team coached by a former Brandeis assistant (Tony Ewing)-- giving the Judges 3 in-region losses before league play even starts (although by strength of schedule standards, Brandeis is still doing very well.) Hopefully, the Judges will play extra tough at NYU and finally get a win down there-- it's been a while since the last time that has happened. It is not in the bag yet, NYU has blown out 3 teams since their loss at Hunter.
Question 2: How does NYU react to losing 3 in-region games before league play starts?-- and the group of teams that the Violets lost to-- Mt St Mary, Skidmore, and Hunter-- would definitely be underdogs against the group of Tufts, Emmanuel, and U. New England. A bit of a clue there in their last 3 games, but neither FDU-Florham, NJ City, nor St Joe's LI are UAA level competition.
Question 3: Marquee game of the weekend is Wash U against Chicago. Wash U should be favored at home, but can Chicago use their strength in rebounding to help close the gap? (Chicago is #1 in rebound margin, and has played Illinois Wesleyan and Carthage tough.)
Question 4: Can Case get a road win or two in UAA play this weekend against Rochester and Emory? Case has been impressive with their 9-2 mark going into league play.
Question 5: What is the status of CMU's Jacki Cortese? Cortese was the UAA's leading scorer and rebounder in non-conference play before missing the last 3 games due to injury. CMU has struggled a bit without her, although CMU has won 2 of the last 3 games. Without Cortese, CMU will be hard pressed to win this weekend, but it is not impossible.
Well, this conference season is going to be very interesting. To date, none of the UAA teams have been successful against teams currently ranked in the top 25 outside of the league. (I am not counting teams that were ranked in pre-season and have dropped out of the top 25 since that time.)
2 teams currently ranked in the top 25-- Wash U and Chicago -- fewer than in previous years, but the UAA always has teams that are among the best 75 DIII women's basketball teams in the country-- and I wouldn't be surprised to see all of the UAA teams somewhere on that list if we were ranking the best 75 teams in DIII women's hoop.
Question 1: How does Brandeis react to a loss against a team coached by a former Brandeis assistant (Tony Ewing)-- giving the Judges 3 in-region losses before league play even starts (although by strength of schedule standards, Brandeis is still doing very well.) Hopefully, the Judges will play extra tough at NYU and finally get a win down there-- it's been a while since the last time that has happened. It is not in the bag yet, NYU has blown out 3 teams since their loss at Hunter.
Question 2: How does NYU react to losing 3 in-region games before league play starts?-- and the group of teams that the Violets lost to-- Mt St Mary, Skidmore, and Hunter-- would definitely be underdogs against the group of Tufts, Emmanuel, and U. New England. A bit of a clue there in their last 3 games, but neither FDU-Florham, NJ City, nor St Joe's LI are UAA level competition.
Question 3: Marquee game of the weekend is Wash U against Chicago. Wash U should be favored at home, but can Chicago use their strength in rebounding to help close the gap? (Chicago is #1 in rebound margin, and has played Illinois Wesleyan and Carthage tough.)
Question 4: Can Case get a road win or two in UAA play this weekend against Rochester and Emory? Case has been impressive with their 9-2 mark going into league play.
Question 5: What is the status of CMU's Jacki Cortese? Cortese was the UAA's leading scorer and rebounder in non-conference play before missing the last 3 games due to injury.

This questions is the one that I am obviously most concerned about and I am concerned because the Bears have had a relatively easy schedule since Thanksgiving. It should be a good test for both teams.

This weekend, we got an answer to my previously posted Question 5.
Carnegie Mellon got their first road victory in UAA competition tonight since the Tartans last won at Emory back on Feb. 9, 2003. (The 2002-2003 Carnegie Mellon team went 5-9 in UAA play, but since then, CMU had won only 2 UAA games over the years at Skibo Gym before tonight.)
However, this will probably not be a game to file away as one of the best played UAA games.
Crucial factors to the contest:
Emory shot only 20.3% from the field tonight (13-64 shooting), while CMU shot 42.3 % (22-52)
Emory had a season-high 14 steals, while Carnegie Mellon turned the ball over 38 times in the game.
Carnegie Mellon outrebounded Emory, 57 to 30 (Possible if Jacki Cortese played tonight, but Emory has only released a recap statement so far-- the official box score had not been posted on the Emory website yet as of this posting.)
To indirectly quote Emory's press statement: "The ice-cold conditions in the Atlanta area found their way into the Emory shooting."
In other news, Rochester won the other UAA contest against Case.
Update: According to WYSL's JC DeLass, who called the Sunday game of CMU against Rochester, it looks like CMU's Jacki Cortese is done for the year with a knee injury that she sustained in non-conference play.

Starting into today--
(1) Thanks, D3Hoops.com, for giving me a chuckle today with the mix-up on the women's schedule! I wish my Judges were ranked No. 5 going into today's UAA play! ;) Although NYU would probably be even more fired up to get a win if that happened. Brandeis and NYU don't need rankings to be fired up facing each other in league play. ( i wonder, though, if you deliberately made that mistake to boost my morale... I can always use a morale boost-- especially when Brandeis is playing at the Coles Center! I'm listening to the game on-line for the second year in a row, BTW, I don't have the money to make the trip to New York.-- sorry, NYU, I know that you will miss my presence on the side-lines....)
PS-- Thanks, NYU, for bringing the game to me by videocast! Have some video of the NYU pep band playing during timeouts today if you can. Why listen to WNYU on their audio feed exclusively when I can watch video of the game at the same time. It will be even sweeter if Brandeis can pull it off today. I think my call in December to Chris Bledsoe's office at NYU athletics stating to him that I couldn't personally make the trip today paid off.
Update-- For details on the videocast, see http://www.gonyuathletics.com NYU plans to video stream all of their home UAA games this season-- with WNYU providing the audio feed for the videocast.
Update-- WBRS has also made the trip down to New York as well and will be audiocasting on the Brandeis end of things. Links to both the WBRS and WNYU audio feeds are already listed on the D3hoops.com front page.
Now, if Brandeis can get on the ball and videocast their UAA home basketball games-- we will be set. Maybe the UAA conference office can provide some financial and/or technical assistance on the matter....
No. 5 Bowdoin Polar Bears hosts No. 23 Emmanuel Saints today at Morrell Gym in Brunswick Maine in New England non-conference action, after Emmanuel lost to St. Joe's (Maine) on Thursday, BTW. Emmanuel defeated Brandeis earlier this season at the Jean Yawkey Center in Boston, MA.

Brandeis has just gotten their 2nd victory ever at the Coles Sports Center, and this is the first time ever that a Boston area DIII women's basketball team has won at NYU without having the game go into overtime!
Final score-- in regulation-- in New York
Brandeis 73, NYU 68
NYU was a little late in getting the video stream up and running, but I listened to the game on WBRS audio webcast until the video feed got up and running late in the 2nd half. I got to see the final 10 minutes unfold on video.
NYU had 2 chances in the final minute to tie the game and send it to overtime, but they could not cash in.

Not too much to say about the WashU v Chicago matchup yesterday. Chicago looked sloppy offensively, but I still think may be the only other contender for the UAA title (with WashU and Brandeis). Two big stats from the night:
Wustl defense: Chicago scores 13pts in the first half
Rebounding margin: WashU outrebounds the Maroons 54 to 32 (23 of those were offensive rebounds, and 17 o-boards in the first half)
Its early in the UAA, but next weeks matchup of Brandeis and WashU is the battle of 1 and 2 in conference. The conference isn't deep this year like it has been in years past.

This is probably the most intriguing statistic considering that the Maroons have been out rebounding everybody lately including Illinois Weslyan, Hope, and Carthage.
One other interesting statistic: the Bears handed Chicago their 23rd consecutive loss at the Field House. It makes you wonder if anyone on the 2009-2010 roster was even alive the last time Chicago won in St. Louis.

I have thought this before conference started and now it is upon us. I think that overall, the UAA is significantly down this year, and I think there is a lot of parity in the league this year. It showed as everyone has beat up on everyone else in the heart of the UAA pack. Heading into next weekend, every team has one loss with the exception of Brandeis and WashU. For the first time in what seems like a long time (I didn't have time to look it up), one team (Brandeis or WashU) will take a lead in the race after the first game of the second weekend.
UAA Standings
Wash 1-0 11-1
Brandeis 1-0 8-3
Rochester 2-1 9-2
Case 1-1 10-3
Carnegie 1-1 8-5
Emory 1-2 6-6
Chicago 0-1 8-4
NYU 0-1 7-4
Thoughts or predictions about the games this weekend? Any word on CMU's Cortese?

I lwatched some of the videocast of Carnegie Mellon at Rochester on Sunday, and according to JC DeLass of WYSL, it looks like CMU's Jacki Cortese is done for the year with a knee injury that she sustained in non-conference play. I start to think of Brandeis's Lauren "Rash" Rashford when I hear this, as she suffered a devastating knee injury last season, and ever since she returned from the injury, she has not had a big game-- maybe her basketball form isn't what it used to be before the injury, but I know that Lauren Rashford is working very hard to get back to where she once was. For now, "Rash" is playing off the bench for Brandeis.
As for Chicago, Chicago has never won at the Wash U Field House since the UAA was founded.
Only a few UAA teams have ever defeated Wash U at the Field House--
Carnegie Mellon did it once, in the early 1990s.
Brandeis did it a few years ago-- on a Sunday in a low scoring contest. (This was when the NCAA had a 50 team field-- with only 7 Pool C at-large bids, and if Brandeis had been able to win at Rochester the following Sunday, Brandeis could have won the UAA by virtue of the conference tiebreaker that year. However, it eventually turned out that Brandeis had to win at NYU on NYU's Senior Day to win the league-- NYU prevailed in that contest; Wash U won the UAA and became the only UAA team to go to the NCAAs that season-- Brandeis had to settle for an ECAC bid.)
NYU is the only team to have multiple victories over Wash U at the Field House-- under Coach Janice Quinn.
Last year, Wash U won their UAA home games by an average of 17 pts a game-- a team that plays that strong at home in UAA play is always going to be the favorite to win the UAA every single time.

Here are the dates in which they occurred:
Feb. 20, 2004-- NYU won, 100-89 (Janice Quinn, head coach of NYU)

I was at that game on 1/20/06. NYU played a box and one defense to try to stop Kelly Manning. It actually worked quite well, especially given that the player chasing Manning around was about 5' 2" to Manning's 5' 11".
Very entertaining game.

That player chasing Manning around was Adrienne Rochetti, right? I remember seeing her doing a Tyus Edney type play to beat Brandeis in the final seconds on one of Brandeis's visits down at NYU. Rochetti had a lot of quickness to make up for her lack of height at the point guard position.

I am glad I am not the only one that gets that way. I do love the double-headers because the win in the first game makes the loss in the second game a little easier to handle. Fans of the other UAA teams should not take this comment as a slight to the other teams, but our Women rule!

Wash U--
I'll give credit to your defense for shutting down Jessica Chapin last night. Last year, she led Brandeis scorers in both matchups with the Wash U Bears-- scoring 18 pts a game in those two matchups.
I am thankful that Lauren Rashford finally seems to be playing better. Brandeis needed her scoring last night to make the final score as close as it was-- I am very grateful that the final score was as it was indicated, as I was afraid that Wash U could have beaten Brandeis by 20 or more.
(I consider Friday night a success for Brandeis-- just a 10 pt loss for the women with an outright victory for the Brandeis men at the Wash U Field House!!!)
Go Judges!!!

The Bears quickly moved past a slow start to knock off NYU 70-50.
I watched the first half, but had to leave before the half-time ping pong exhibition. I did watch some of the ping pong between games. Fun.
NYU did go on a few runs in the second half to make the game interesting, cutting a 20 point lead to 12, but the Bears quickly battled back. Very good and balanced play by the starters and key reserves.

Re: Allen's comment about shutting down Chapin, its the first weekend that they played a team that understands defense and a staff that knows you don't have to outscore somebody only by going shot for shot

The Wash U vs Brandeis match sort of gave an indicator of how Amherst stacks up with Brandeis in a head to head match. Amherst plays a similar style defense, and when I saw how Amherst easily shut down Emmanuel earlier this season in LeFrak Gym, it took all of my interest in a rematch with Amherst out the window for the time being. An Amherst vs. Brandeis match would still be a decent game, but I would like to have some confidence in Brandeis being able to score enough against Amherst's defense to win before I ask for that rematch. (And should it happen in a post-season setting, I'll prepare for that.)
The rematches with Wash U and Chicago come up in a few weeks in Waltham, MA, and I'll cheer Brandeis hard in those games-- but I honestly though that the Brandeis women did okay this weekend despite the two losses-- I am very fortunate for the win down at NYU in that tough 3 game stretch.
Now, Brandeis has 4 home games in conference play, and let's see how the Judges perform in those games.
I'm finally glad to see Lauren Rashford having a great weekend in conference play once again.

The Bears with a quick start, but the Lady Spartans battle back and forces four turnovers and poor shooting. Lots of lead changes and fast paced.
19-15 Washington University up over Case Western at the 10:00 minute mark.
A couple of random notes. The quality of the video is not so good, but the announcers are first rate. And, I am glad to be able to watch the games online, but I miss the Fahey foot stomps. Also, bravo to Case Western for fielding a pep band!
The Bears with a quick start, but the Lady Spartans battle back and forces four turnovers and poor shooting. Lots of lead changes and fast paced.

Chicago with the lead in Pittsburgh, leading Carnegie Mellon 30-13 with 2:32 left in the first half. CMU also has a pep band.
It may be the video, but that looks like the darkest gym I have ever seen. Turn on the lights!

Case Western plagued by cold shooting. Washington University up 26-18 with 5:00 left in the first half.

Nice win for Emory over Brandeis. Maybe after being just behind the top teams in the UAA, Emory is turning the corner. Good news unless you're a Brandeis fan. They seem to be a bit down this year after their run in the NCAA's last year.

Halfway through the UAA season--
Wash U went 3-1 in their 4 game road stand to end up the leader at the halfway mark at 6-1 in UAA play. The Bears now play Rochester and Emory at the Wash U Field House next week before going to Brandeis and NYU.
Rochester is now tied for second with Chicago at 5-2 in UAA play-- thanks to Rochester holding serve at home with the home sweep of Wash U and Chicago. (Last year, Rochester was able to win the Friday game at the Palestra against Wash U, but dropped the Sunday game to Chicago.) Rochester now has the tough Midwest trip at Wash U and Chicago next week.
Chicago is also at 5-2 in UAA play with the needed Friday night win at Emory to get a split on the road weekend. Chicago hosts Emory and Rochester next week before going to NYU and Brandeis.
At the halfway mark, Wash U, Chicago, and Rochester seem to be in the driver's seat for spots in the NCAA tournament field with Wash U in the lead for the UAA automatic bid.
Brandeis is in 4th place in the UAA with a 4-3 mark in UAA play and a 11-6 overall record, but with the 3 losses in non-conference play, (2 of whom are to Tufts and Emmanuel, who are expected to return to the NCAAs-- the other to U. New England, which has a shot to win the TCCC and get that bid) the Judges will need to step it up in February if they are to return to the NCAAs for a fifth straight year. Brandeis will need to sweep Case and Carnegie Mellon on the road for starters next week to set up their February run. A tough road to hoe over the next seven games, but if Brandeis can go 5-2 in February, the Judges may be able to get an at-large bid to the NCAAs with a 16-8 overall mark due to their strength of schedule. Not an easy road, but not impossible either. The Brandeis men were able to pull it off last year-- let's see if the Brandeis women can do the same.
NYU is in an either tougher road to return to the NCAAs with a 3-4 mark in UAA play and an 11-7 mark overall. With 3 losses in local play to Mt. St Mary, Skidmore, and Hunter-- the Violets may have to go 6-1 the rest of the way to get a shot at an NCAA at-large bid.
Were people expecting Case to go 2-5 in league play at the halfway mark after their great start in non-conference play? As NYU showed a few years back when the Violets went 3-11 in league play after a perfect non-conference start, having success in local play does not guarantee success in UAA play.
Emory has had a few successful wins in league play (although the win at Brandeis seemed to be a result of Brandeis breaking down defensively at the wrong moment in giving up so many 3 pointers in the second half), but the Eagles also lost to Carnegie Mellon. Emory may be at least a year away from being a top-level UAA team.
As for Carnegie Mellon, the Tartans may be 1-6 in UAA play halfway, but a very unfortunate turn of events having to go without Jacki Cortese for the remainder of the season. It seems every year that the Tartans always seem to play better than their record indicates, but due to the respect that the other UAA teams have for CMU, the UAA teams do not take CMU lightly.
Wash U went 3-1 in their 4 game road stand to end up the leader at the halfway mark at 6-1 in UAA play. The Bears now play Rochester and Emory at the Wash U Field House next week before going to Brandeis and NYU.

Washington University is alone at the top of the UAA today with a big win over Emory. The Eagles really took it to Washington University early, but the Bears battled back to tie the game at the half 37-37.
Emory shot very well in the first half (56%), but Washington University turned up the defense in the second half.
Congratulations to Zoe Unruh for a career day, scoring 25 points including 5 three pointers. Keep it up!
Unfortunately, the Bears suffered one of their worst defeats in recent memory on Friday in New York with a 63-51 loss to Rochester.

Washington University avenges the loss to Rochester with a big time win at the Field House, 68-40, in front of the largest crowd of the season. The Bears move to 17-2 on the season and 7-1 in the UAA.
The story is much the same as it has been: a balanced offense along with relentless defense. The Bears win the battle of the boards 43-28.
Alex Hoover leads the way with 15 points. Hoover is playing great basketball, by the way. Very good play by Unruh, McFarlin, Evans, Morrison.
Incidentally, this game included something I have never seen before (or maybe just never noticed): two of the three officials were women. The officials did a very good job tonight, though I am not sure that the intentional foul was necessary.

I would agree with that. From my perch in the upper deck it was definitely a hard foul (the Wash U player went to the floor) but I didn't have a good enough look at the Rochester player's body language and expressions to judge what the "intent" was. This does raise a question for me. Is the correct term when the official crosses his/her arms "intentional" foul or "flagrant" foul? We all know that there are lots of fouls that are intentional but not flagrant.

It is intentional. A flagrant foul results in ejection.
QuoteFrom the NCAA Rules Manual pg 128:
Two free throws for:
An intentional personal or flagrant personal foul and the ball awarded at a designated spot nearest to where the foul occurred.
(a) Any flagrant personal foul shall result in ejection of the offender.
pg 72
Art. 2. The following shall result in automatic ejection:
Rule 4 a. Committing a flagrant personal foul or flagrant technical foul

The big game on Sunday is obviously Rochester at Chicago. Anyone with thoughts or predictions?
Seems to be this is Chicago's last gasp at an NCAA bid (with a loss dropping them out of the NCAA picture). True?

Brandeis defeated Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh today, 59-50
Congrats to Jessica Chapin of Brandeis for setting a new Brandeis women's basketball single game scoring record today.
Chapin led all Brandeis scorers with 36 points, breaking the previous mark of 34 pts by 2. (Brandeis's previous single-game scoring record of 34 pts was set by Pam Vaughan of the Brandeis class of 1990, who held that record for approx. 20 years.)
Chapin's previous career best was a 33 pt scoring effort against Babson earlier this season.
As far as the UAA single game scoring record is concerned, Chapin fell 3 pts shy of tying it today. That mark is still held by Wash U alum Kelly Manning, who scored 39 points in a UAA conference game vs Chicago on Feb. 29, 2006.
Jessica Chapin also made 7 3's today-- another new Brandeis single game program record. Chapin hit 7 of 9 from 3 pt land today.
The 7 3's made by Jessica Chapin today ties with Emory alum Mandy Jackson on the UAA list, who made 7 of 19 from 3 pt range in a UAA game against Carnegie Mellon in 1994-- Chapin fell 3 made 3's short of tying the UAA single game record for 3's made, which was set by Wash U alum Laura Crowley in a UAA game against Carnegie Mellon in 2003. Crowley hit 10 of 14 from 3 pt land in that contest.

It looks like we have our answer as Chicago takes down Rochester by nine at home, 73-64. The win keeps Chicago within striking distance of the Bears with common opponents for the next two weeks and a rematch in Chicago for the last game of the season. Brandeis is two games back while Rochester and New York are three.
New York beat Case Western by two on the road.
The Bears had an easy go of it this afternoon against Emory. The 61-47 final score does not at all point to how lopsided this game really was. The Eagles did not shoot well today, though I doubt that the Bears were happy with their offensive performance. Overall, probably the least exciting game in the UAA today.

This weekend, Wash U and Chicago travel to Brandeis and NYU.
On Hoopsville today, I chatted with Dave McHugh, and Dave suggested the hypothetical of a 12-2 tie between Chicago and Wash U for the UAA crown, and wondered how the tie would break in this scenario.
In this scenario, Wash U and Chicago sweep out this weekend on the road, Wash U and Chicago would have swept Case and Carnegie Mellon at home the following weekend, and then Chicago would have defeated Wash U at the Ratner Center on the final day.
Scenario: Wash U and Chicago are UAA co-champions at 12-2 in the UAA-- two way tie.
Pool A bid would have to be determined by coin flip-- no other tie-breakers work in this scenario.
First tie-breaker is head to head: Wash U and Chicago would have split the head-to-head 1-1.
Second tie-breaker: Results against teams in the UAA standings in descending order from 3rd place down until the tie is broken.
Wash U and Chicago each split with Rochester 1-1 and would have swept all other UAA teams 2-0. Second tie-breaker would not work.
Third tie-breaker: Better road conference record among the co-champions.
Wash U and Chicago would each have gone 5-2 in road UAA play. Tie not broken.
Final tie-breaker: Coin flip conducted by UAA Executive Secretary Dick Rasmussen.
The last time a coin flip determined the automatic bid was in the 2000-2001 season.. Wash U and NYU had to go to a coin flip with NYU winning the Pool A bid on the coin toss and Wash U settling for a Pool C and their fourth straight national championship.
That tie was Wash U and NYU as co-champions with a 14-1 UAA record. Johns Hopkins (playing their final season in the UAA) could not break a tie as JHU did not play a double round robin in the UAA schedule. Wash U and NYU each split 1-1 (Each winning on their home floor-- Dari Magyar hitting the "Miracle in Manhattan" buzzer beater shot in the match at NYU) and swept all other UAA teams in conference play.
Full tie-breaking procedures can be found here, for reference:

I don't know if this is the exact answer on the test, but there are two reasons that I can think of as to why Johns Hopkins left the UAA:
(1) Johns Hopkins never played a double round-robin in any UAA sport, including basketball, while all of the other UAA schools were going to double round-robin in basketball. Johns Hopkins actually belonged to two conferences in the 1990s, the UAA and the Centennial, but always used Centennial Conference play to determine their NCAA eligiblilty, with the UAA serving as a secondary non-conference schedule for them. (Hence, JHU playing each UAA school once in basketball and other sports.) The rest of the UAA did not care for that, and insisted that Johns Hopkins choose which conference to belong to-- the JHU athletics program decided that the Centennial Conference was always their true home conference.
Brandeis belonged to both the New England Women's Eight (Brandeis was a charter member of the NEW8) and the UAA at the time of the conference's founding in 1986-87 (for women's sports-- Brandeis men competed as an independent school before the UAA was founded). The Brandeis women's program left the New England Women's Eight in the mid 1990s when the UAA got an automatic bid to the NCAAs in most DIII sports. (A few years later, the NEW8 would go co-ed and become NEWMAC.)
Case belonged to the North Coast Athletic Conference before the UAA was founded, and I believe that Carnegie Mellon belonged to the Presidents Athletic Conference before the UAA was founded (and had dual memberships in each before the mid 1990s,) but I believe that those programs chose the UAA as their primary conference affiliation in the mid 1990s around the same time that Brandeis left the NEW8.
(2)-- (Probably not the reason)-- Johns Hopkins played lacrosse at the Division I level and wanted to keep that sport going. (The reason why I'm not sure that is a true reason is that NYU and Brandeis have fencing programs that compete at a non-scholarship "Division I" level-- the fencing programs regularly go up against Duke, Penn State, Brown, Harvard, and Columbia among other teams as opponents.)
(1) Johns Hopkins never played a double round-robin in any UAA sport, including basketball, while all of the other UAA schools were going to double round-robin in basketball. Johns Hopkins actually belonged to two conferences in the 1990s, the UAA and the Centennial, but always used Centennial Conference play to determine their NCAA eligiblilty, with the UAA serving as a secondary non-conference schedule for them.

I don't know if this is the exact answer on the test, but there are two reasons that I can think of as to why Johns Hopkis left the UAA:
Thanks for the detailed response.
On a related note, I noticed in another conference thread talk related to college affordability and how that might affect recruiting. It does seem that several of the UAA schools, if not all, are committed to increasing need-based aid, so this may not be as significant a problem. On the other hand, most Doctoral Extensive institutions have had to decrease endowment spending in order to adjust to the new economic environment. While I have no first-hand knowledge of UAA athletic department funding, it seems likely that most will have to do more with less money or maybe even as much with quite a lot less money.

Washington University and Chicago win tonight against Brandeis and New York respectively. Carnegie Mellon took down Emory in overtime, 64-60. And, Rochester rebounds, so to speak, from last week to defeat Case Western 72-56.
Washington University wins 50-37 in much the same way they have all season: balanced scoring and loads of defense. Again, the Bears won the battle of the boards. Not the best offensive effort of the season, but enough to get things done.
The Bears (9-1) retain the lead in the UAA, with Chicago (8-2) one game back. Brandeis and Rochester (6-4) are tied for the moment, three games back, while New York is fourth at 5-5.

Update on ECAC Basketball Tournament Declarations:
As of February 11, NYU and Carnegie Mellon filed declaration papers to the ECAC expressing interest in competing in their respective ECAC basketball championships. The ECAC Tournament is designed as a secondary regional 1 week post-season tournament for teams that finish above .500 but do not qualify for the NCAA tournament. There are four ECAC DIII regional basketball championships: New England, Upstate, Metro and South.
NYU would be participating in the ECAC Metro Championship with the first round on March 3 and the semis and title game on March 6 & 7. NYU currently stands with a record of 13-9 and is expected to get picked by the ECAC for that tournament on March 1-- barring a collapse.
Carnegie Mellon cannot finish at .500 or above on the season and therefore their season will end on February 27.

Why do you think I want that Bears-Titans rematch? Seriously though, while I am sure that Illinois Weslyan is ready for the post-season, I do think that the Bears are playing very good basketball and could make a deep run, if not win it all.

Washington University moved up one spot in the rankings to No. 6 while the University of Chicago are back in the rankings again. And, deservedly so. Rochester is getting votes.

Halftime of Brandeis at Rochester--
Jessica Chapin sat out the first half of the game, and I won't be surprised if Chapin sits out the rest of the game. I don't know why-- it could either be health reasons or disciplinary reasons. Chapin was sitting on the bench in her warmups.
Rochester took advantage of Chapin's absence to take a 43-25 lead going into the locker room.

Incredible second half comeback by the Brandeis women to hand Rochester their first home loss of the season.
Chapin came into the game with 17:47 left in regulation, and Lauren Rashford entered the game 2 minutes later. With 10:30 left in the second half, the Rochester lead was back down to single digits, and Brandeis took the lead with 5:21 left, Brandeis took their first lead of the game.
Brandeis eventually won it, 67-65. To be honest, I did not see this one coming. I regret not staying to watch the second half on video, sorry....

Brandeis now tied for third in the UAA with Rochester at 7-5 in the UAA, with Brandeis holding the season sweep over Rochester.
Rochester needs to go for a Pool C at large bid being 4 games out with 2 to play and now out of the race for the UAA title.

I was reading the recap of the Brandeis at Rochester game to find out exactly what happened in the second half to lead Brandeis to the comeback victory. I had missed most of the second half on video because I was tuning in to find out what was going on in other games, and by the time I got back to the Brandeis contest, the men were warming up.
Once Chapin and Rashford entered the game (Jessica Chapin making her final visit in a Brandeis uniform back to her hometown, and Lauren Rashford doing the same-- Rashford is from the Syracuse, NY area)-- the Judges responded with the same trademark defense that they used last weekend to hold Wash U and Chicago to 50 and 49 points respectively. That defense last night held Rochester without a field goal from 14:41 left in regulation until there were 13 seconds left in the ball game. That was a key factor in leading Brandeis to the road win-- Rochester scored only 12 points in the final 14 minutes and 41 seconds of the ball game after taking a 53-33 lead up to that point.
That win by Brandeis last night now puts Rochester in danger of missing out on a Pool C bid-- Rochester is going to have to sweep their last 2 contests against NYU and Emory to finish with a regional percentage above .700 and stay in Pool C consideration. Fortunately, Rochester's last 2 contests are at home, where the Yellowjackets have not lost prior to last night.
It may be too late for the Brandeis women to get a Pool C bid this year (Last year's road victory at Rochester helped the Judges to a Pool C bid), but this is probably the highlight win of the Brandeis season this year.

Congratulations to Washington University for clinching a share of the UAA championship. The Bears pulled away early with a big run. Final in St. Louis: 89-61.
Chicago is up one against Case Western at home in the second half.
Edit: watching the Chicago game and the gym looks empty. Probably a few more fans out of view, but clearly many more fans on hand in St. Louis today. Case Western leads by one with nine minutes to go. The announcers need to announce the score more often.

Edit: Chicago wins a nailbiter by one. Not sure about the score, since the announcers have not said the score in several minutes.
It looks like I may be driving to Chicago next weekend.

That 76-69 score was the final of the men's game.
Chicago survives on the women's side, 58-57. Case was up 4 with about 11 minutes left, and Case had the ball with a chance for the win, but the shot did not go off in time-- and it missed anyway.
Chicago did not play their best today, but they survive to set up the showdown next week.
Rochester women had their biggest halftime deficit of the season today, and Rochester trailed NYU by 11 pts in the second half, but the Yellowjackets rallied for a 60-59 victory to keep their Pool C hopes alive.
What is at stake next week:
Wash U win over Chicago-- Wash U wins the UAA title-- automatic bid.
Chicago win over Wash U-- Chicago and Wash U share the UAA title and a coin flip will determine the automatic bid.
Rochester plays Emory next Saturday-- Rochester needs a win on Saturday to make their Pool C chances more likely.
In other games-- Brandeis plays NYU on Saturday.
NYU has declared for the ECAC Metro tournament, and an NYU win may make it more likely for the Violets to start play for an ECAC title on March 3. An NYU loss may mean the end of the season.
Brandeis decided not to file for ECAC New England consideration, so the Brandeis women most likely may be playing their final game of the season on Saturday, and the Judges would like to end their season with a victory against NYU if next week is the final game.
Case also plays Carnegie Mellon on Saturday-- this will be the final game of the season for those teams.

question, did Brandeis lose alot of players from last years team?
they were a strong group last year
Key losses to graduation from last season: Cassidy Dadaos, Lauren Orlando, and Amanda Wells.
Lauren Goyette also graduated from last year's team, but she sat out last season with an injury. Goyette was not a big enough player to be medically red-shirted to come back and play this season.
Cassidy Dadaos and Lauren Orlando were really strong inside front court players.-- Kasey Gieschen and Amber Strodthoff were picked to replace that front court.
Gieschen and Strodthoff played off the bench last season-- they start this season. They are good, but they can't shoot as well inside as Dadaos and Orlando. They do pick up their points, however-- and they have improved over last season, but Gieschen and Strodthoff had big shoes to fill.
Lauren Rashford-- never really was the type of player this year that she was last year before her torn ACL injury. She had a big game at Wash U this season, but Rashford scored a lot more last season. Rashford was actually one of the 5 regular Brandeis starters before her injury last season.
Diana Cincotta-- I really don't have too many complaints about her play.
Injuries were a factor for sophomores Brighid Courtney and Kelly Ethier. Brighid Courtney did improve her game, and would have been counted on a lot in UAA play, but Courtney got injured at the end of the non-conference season. Ethier would have been counted on for scoring as well if she didn't get injured early.
Morgan Kendrew-- Great game all around this season from her-- about what I wanted from her as a sophomore.
Rookie class-- Had a hard time adjusting to the college game early. Some good defending and rebounding, but never developed a knack for scoring. I wanted at least 2 of those rookies to score about 100 points each this season each to relieve the burden on Jessica Chapin.
Because of these factors, Jessica Chapin is counted on to do a lot more this season, and she has done an excellent job-- well deserving of UAA Player of the Year if she wins it. Chapin is easily the best player on this year's Brandeis team.
Key factor: None of the top 5 scorers for Brandeis are shooting over 40% on the season.

The UAA game of the week is undoubtedly Washington University-Chicago in the Windy City. A win for Washington University gives them the UAA title. And, with the big loss tonight by No. 2 Carthage to Elmhurst College, a win tomorrow would give the 3rd place Bears a better in-region record and should be enough to move them to No. 2.
A Chicago win means an automatic bid. A loss would drop the Maroons to 19-6 and may drop them in to the 5th place in the final regional rankings, depending on how the WIAC Conference Tournament plays out. Does a 19-6 Chicago make the tournament?
Central Region Record, (Overall Record)
1. Illinois Wesleyan 21-1 (24-1)
2. Carthage 19-2 (22-3)
3. Washington U. 19-2 (22-2)
4. Chicago 19-5 (19-5)
5. UW-Whitewater 18-5 (19-6)
6. St. Norbert 20-3 (20-3)
Chicago has only dropped one game at home to then No. 1 Illinois Weslyan. Of course, the last time the two teams plays, the Bears dismantled the Maroon offense and scored more points in the first half then Chicago scored in the entire game. It was hard to watch. My prediction: Washington University 59, Chicago 52.

WUH---
I just wanted to clarify the situation regarding the UAA automatic bid
1.) If Wash U defeats Chicago today-- Wash U wins UAA title and gets automatic bid.
2.) If Chicago defeats Wash U today-- Chicago and Wash U are UAA Co-Champions, and a coin flip will determine the automatic bid.
A coin flip doesn't mean a loss for the automatic bid for Wash U because Wash U could still win the coin flip, but Wash U is 0-1 lifetime on coin flips for the UAA bid.
A coin flip will be necessary this time because Chicago and Wash U would have split the head-to-head 1-1, would had split the season series with Rochester by winning at home and losing at Rochester, and would have swept all other UAA teams. Therefore, no other tiebreaker will settle the situation. (Wash U and Chicago would each have gone 5-2 on the road in the UAA, which is the last tiebreaker before the coin flip.)
The last time a coin flip determined the automatic bid for the UAA was in the 2000-2001 season, when Wash U and NYU went 14-1 in the UAA, with the only loss being to each other and both losses occuring when Wash U and NYU were the road teams in those matchups.
That time, NYU won the coin flip over Wash U to get the UAA automatic bid-- Wash U went on to win their 4th straight national championship as a Pool C team. The field was a 50 team field, with only 7 Pool C's available (If I am wrong about the number of Pool C's for that season, please correct me.)
The 2 final scores in that 2000-2001 season that led to the coin flip:
Rankings were the D3Hoops.com poll rankings at the time of the game.
1.) Sunday, January 21, 2001--- #1 Wash U def #2 NYU, 72-37 at Wash U Field House-- St Louis, Mo.
2.) Friday, February 2, 2001-- Dari Magyar's "Miracle in Manhattan" 3 point shot at the buzzer led #4 NYU to the 65-64 victory over #1 Wash U at Coles Sports Center in New York City.
Wash U came into the 2000-2001 tournament ranked #1 on the D3Hoops.com poll and #2 on the ESPN/USA Today/WBCA Coaches poll.
NYU came into the 2000-2001 tournament ranked #1 on the ESPN/USA Today/WBCA coaches poll and #2 on the D3Hoops.com poll.

Therefore, no other tiebreaker will settle the situation. (Wash U and Chicago would each have gone 5-2 on the road in the UAA, which is the last tiebreaker before the coin flip.)
The last time a coin flip determined the automatic bid for the UAA was in the 2000-2001 season, when Wash U and NYU went 14-1 in the UAA, with the only loss being to each other and both losses occuring when Wash U and NYU were the road teams in those matchups.
That time, NYU won the coin flip over Wash U to get the UAA automatic bid-- Wash U went on to win their 4th straight national championship as a Pool C team. The field was a 50 team field, with only 7 Pool C's available (If I am wrong about the number of Pool C's for that season, please correct me.)
The 2 final scores in that 2000-2001 season that led to the coin flip:
Rankings were the D3Hoops.com poll rankings at the time of the game.
1.) Sunday, January 21, 2001--- #1 Wash U def #2 NYU, 72-37 at Wash U Field House-- St Louis, Mo.
2.) Friday, February 2, 2001-- Dari Magyar's "Miracle in Manhattan" 3 point shot at the buzzer led #4 NYU to the 65-64 victory over #1 Wash U at Coles Sports Center in New York City.
Wash U came into the 2000-2001 tournament ranked #1 on the D3Hoops.com poll and #2 on the ESPN/USA Today/WBCA Coaches poll.
NYU came into the 2000-2001 tournament ranked #1 on the ESPN/USA Today/WBCA coaches poll and #2 on the D3Hoops.com poll.

I just wanted to clarify the situation regarding the UAA automatic bid
Yes, looking at my post, I mistakenly suggested that Chicago would get the automatic bid with a win. I knew that was wrong, but only because of your previous posts. My mistake.
I am committed to proof-reading all future posts.

Getting ready for the big game, and reading the Chicago Maroon and noticed an interesting point-counterpoint addressing the question: Would a UAA tournament build suspense or simply undermine the regular season? The editorial even references D3hoops.com and Gordon Mann.

Chicago moves to 19-6 with the loss today, while UW-Whitewater moves to 18-6, dropping a close one to UW-Stevens Point. It seems likely that Chicago will hold on to the fourth spot in the regional rankings and should join Washington University in the NCAA tournament. Anyone disagree?
Brandeis with the statement win over NYU, 90-65. Case Western with the win over Carnegie Mellon and Rochester bolsters their Pool C credentials with a five point win at Emory.

Chicago, Rochester and Wash U make it. Chicago has to go through Ill Wesleyan, but Wash U has to travel to Kentucky to play at Thomas More (probably because men are hosting at home), then they have to play George Fox (rematch of last year's championship) to make it back to Final Four.

Congratulations to Jessica Chapin of Brandeis on being named UAA Player of the Year today.
This is a well deserved honor for a very special basketball player. I just wish that Brandeis could have been successful enough this season to go to NCAAs, but that was not in the cards, alas.
Also, congrats to Brandeis's Morgan Kendrew and Amber Strodthoff on earning Honorable Mention All Association honors.

Edit: who needs luck when you have a Phi Beta Kappa superstar like Zoë Unruh who can score 31 points on 8-12 shooting from three point range?
Washington University rolled over Maryville (Tenn) 81-67 to advance to play Thomas More who beat our next-door neighbors, Fontbonne University.
These wins have been the standard for the Bears all season, with the exception of a close win to DePauw, followed by a close early season loss to Illinois Weslyan on the road and a road loss to Rochester. I have to admit that I am a little surprised that the Bears did not feature more prominently in the post-season D3Hoops breakdown. I look forward to the Bears proving the prognosticators wrong.

Congratulations to Washington University on yet another big-time win over a quality opponent. You have been doing this all season long. No need to stop now. And, congratulations on earning the privilege to host next weekend.
I have been saying this all season long, but this team is playing the best defensive and probably the best offensive Bears squad that I have seen. And, the balanced scoring on offense means than almost everyone who gets on the court will score and several will score in double figures. I cannot wait for next weekend.

Congratulations to the Bears for yet another big win last night. The headline on the Washington University Athletics reads: Unruh and McFarlin Power Bears into NCAA Elite Eight. That is an understatement for sure.
Mount Union played a very tough first half and played strong in to the second half, but the Bears defense, along with cold shooting on the part of the Purple Raiders, allowed the Bears to take over the game. Is that right? Purple Raiders?
The second half included some big time plays down low from McFarlin, Evans, and others.
I watched the George Fox-Carthage game. Very good teams. The game should be great tonight. And, the thought that the Bears get a rematch of the 2009 title game makes this all the more intriguing. My prediction: Coach Fahey will double check the roster personally before the game begins.

I wondered if anyone would remember that very surprising scorebook mistake from last year. ;)
I'm guessing most would consider WashU the favorite tonight, especially playing at home. We will see if the Bruin defense can keep the Bears under 55 points, which will be very tough to do.

I remember it like it was yesterday, and most fans that I talked to last night do as well, though no one could remember exactly what the problem was. Something small.
George Fox played a great game last night. They may be the most talented team we have at home in over a year. Maybe even longer, based on the way they played last night.
I do believe that this Bears squad is more talented than the team we had in Michigan last year.

I think the roster issue last year in the final was that a player was inadvertently not listed in the official scorebook. Usually an assistant coach checks the roster and submits the starters to the official scorer about 12-15 minutes before game time ... then the head referee comes over and makes sure that the number of players listed in the book matches the number of players suited down and warming up on the court. It was a procedural oops, but still surprising given the magnitude of the game.
Regarding comparing last year's teams to this year. I cannot say that 09-10 Bruins are stronger than last year, but I also don't want to say they have dropped off from last year ... they are just different. Last year was magical and in some ways there were so many moments that just went their way that it started to seem easy even though I now they were working very hard. This year I don't think it has come as easily for them.
I hope it is great game tonight.

As a Bears fan who was there, the Bears were greatly aided by Tessa Pohovey fouling out, and a sub-par game by Rosa LaMattina.
http://bearsports.wustl.edu/womensbball/NCAA2.HTM
I had thought Pohovey had been taken out with four fouls somewhere between five and ten minutes into the second half, but the box score reveals why she never came back in. Not having to worry about her popping a three aided the Bears defense.
As good as the Bears defense is they still have a lot of trouble with fast teams that can hit three pointers.

The Bears have been playing very good defense all season long and really pressured LaMattina. And, the squad ranks 37th in three-point field goal defense. I was there as well and that is my version of the story.
The Bruins, if I understand correctly, shoot very well from outside. Maybe we can test your theory tonight.

A Great game to be at. With the students still on break until Monday, there wasn't as many there as should have been, but we made a lot of noise anyway.
Go Bears! Refamiliarize yourself with Shirk Center where you played in the annual Tip Off tournament this year (I think WashU's turn is next year), go beat Amherst (you have your work cut out for you), and root for your fellow UAA team Rochester (because Hope has played at the Shirk this year too.) ;) Also because an all UAA final would be sweet.
On the other hand, defeating Hope would be sweet revenge for 2006.
But let's concentrate on Amherst for now.

Cough, Cough. I was talking about hosting the Tip Off tournament next year :) You know, that thing where IWU, Depauw and WashU lure a victim to one of their campuses. ;D
I hope they can beat Amherst, since I was just reminded they beat at least a few of them 65-49 in Holland last year.
And Hope has a advantage in having just played two games at Shirk. Thank Stevens Point for preventing IWU from being the first champion to win all of its tournament games at home, though I'm sure Hope would have been highly motivated to beat IWU because they didn't get to play in a Final Four at home.
Since the Final Four has slowly worked its way west, do you think WashU should put in a bid for 2012 and 2013?

I understand now...I was not thinking about the tournament, even though that is what you said, because we hosted the tournament last year. Illinois Wesleyan won and then the Bears, of course, avenged the loss on the road. And, that is why I am not concerned about playing in Bloomington-Normal.
I have no concerns at all about this team. They are so deep, and so balanced. Efficient on both sides of the court. The first half performance tonight and last night was not so typical. Not very creative on offense and seemingly not interested in pushing the tempo.
Obviously we played a great team tonight. Very tough loss I am sure for a tough team. But I think this team can play much better.
I do think that Washington University should make a bid for the next two Final Fours. There are many reasons why. The University has loads of experience with big events (e.g. Presidential and Vice-Presidential Debates), the St. Louis area, including the local municipalities and Convention and Visitors Bureau would stand behind the idea, and it would make a great laboratory for the Olin School of Business. The facilties are the only concern.

Speaks volumes for the teamwork concepts that Wash U embraced on their march to a national championship, and the Coach of the Year award received by Nancy Fahey.... Checking the UAA site, Wash U was well recognized in the All Conference voting ... Alex Hoover, Jaimie McFarlin, and Zoe Unruh made 1st team, Janice Evans made 2nd team, and Kathryn Berger made HM.

Congratulations to the players, coaches, staff, family, friends, and fans of the 2009-2010 National Championship Washington University Women's Basketball team!
This was truly a remarkable year, one of many remarkable years in the Coach Fahey era. Highlights include: a win over Division I SIU, a win over perennial foe DePauw, and a near-perfect UAA conference season with big-time wins over the best in the conference. And, of course, a title run that included a win over defending champion George Fox, undefeated Amherst, and the big win over Hope College. The only losses came against two of the very best.
Not to mention the Coach of the Year accolades, and a host of academic and athletic honors for the individual players.
There has been lots of talk about the best team and there are reasonable arguments for more than one. But if you look closely at this team, the balance and depth, it is hard to deny that this team was very special. I have said before that the best team does not always win, but I think in this case, the best team did win.
Congratulations to Unruh, Evans, McFarlin, and Niese and best of luck in your future endeavors.
And, to Hoover, Morrison, Berger, Cusworth, Schaeperkoetter, and Robb as well as everyone else, enjoy the moment because next season is only eight months away!
Finally, congratulations again to Coach Fahey on No. 5. With a 571-100 record, nine Final Fours, and five NCAA Championships, you are the best in the Division III business.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch featured a very well written story about the Huskies and their winning streak and how in NCAA Women's College Basketball, the streak is still only second best to the Bears.
I am looking forward to the Final Four games this evening. The hype about the best team in Division I plays the best player in Division I seems to be true. Should be a very good game.

D3 women's hoops fans, and Wash U. fans in particular: don't let ESPN get away with their campaign of misinformation. They kept saying during the D1 championship game that UConn was going to become the first team in "women's college basketball history" to have back-to-back unbeaten championship seasons. LET 'EM HEAR YOU. Twitter, email, Facebook, heck even postcards, but LET 'EM HEAR YOU.

They definitely could have beat this D1, so good sign for the start of non-conference play.

Haven't posted all pre-season, but excited for the start of the season.
Alwardt was the only UAAer to be named a d3hoops preseason All-American, but that wasn't too surprising with a good chunk of talent graduating from the conference. Figured Wustl would have a shot to get maybe Alex Hoover in at best... but no one from their squad made all-american (or even all-region) last year. Alwardt would have my vote for unofficial pre-season POY as well, especially consider the scoring numbers she can put up. Id put Hoover and Hollinger as the dark horses for POY especially if WashU puts their money on Hoover to lead the charge or Case can pull out any victories against the "big boys" (ie Chicago, Brandeis, UR, Wustl). Hollinger is a little unorthodox at times and may have gaudy stats in non-conference play. Case has a solid nonconference sched. (based on program name alone) with Mount Union, Wilmington, Kenyon, and Denison on their slate.
Chicago and Brandeis both retooling. Should be interesting to see their team chemistry come January. Brandeis' nonconference schedule looks comfortable. Chicago is a stark contrast. Again, just based on program names alone, Luther, Loras, IWU, and Carthage are all formidable opponents.
I don't know how healthy CMU is. They had some awful injuries last year, but if healthy, can surprise some folks this year. I know Emory played the spoiler last year with wins over Rochester and Brandeis, and CMU will have the opportunity this year. Dont know too much about Emory's nonconference opponents, but the same as they usually are... without looking, they are probably: BirmSouthern, Oglethorpe, Sewanee, Maryville, Piedmont, Agnes Scott...yep.
Looks like WashU and Rochester will be the teams to beat in conference. Rochester not losing much to graduation and WashU in sharp contrast with a different cast than last year. But WashU's loss to Bradley was as good of a loss that you can have in D1 matchup. Reminded me of Wustl when they played SLU a few years ago, they stayed in the game, but didnt have enough to pull out the victory in the "4th quarter"
Im thinking 4 will be a stretch to get in the tourney this year. 3 is a more reasonable number. But, of course Im hoping for 5 ;)
All in all, Im excited for the games to begin on Monday. Lets get-em UAA.

#5 Rochester loses to Medaille. Last year, Rochester only won this matchup by 2, so I could sort of see this upset coming.
CMU is the only other UAA squad losing their opener.
Emory threw down 94 pts against Oglethorpe... Gave up 74, but 50+ points of the bench is pretty impressive. Alot of young talent, frosh and sophs, leading the charge. They could be the spoiler this year like they were last year when they beat Rochester @ the Palestra.

Yeah, this is a great way to start the season! DePauw, IWU, and WashU do this annually (rotating home court among the three teams). All three are annually ranked very high going in (if I recall correctly, a couple of years ago all were in the top 5).
This year they began IWU #3, WashU #7, and DePauw #12. With each team picking up a win and a loss, it'll be interesting to see how they rank next week.

I liked this three-team round robin format. The advantage for the home team is the day off between games, but its great competition instead of two games against a weaker fourth opponent.
Seems like the weekend proved these teams are certainly peers in the rankings, whether that means peers in the top 10-15, we should really know by january.

I assume by "conference assessment" he or she meant my half-a$$ blurb....lol
Well, my fan's take (like WUH said, we are by no means professional commentators) on NYU is this:
NYU and Brandeis in recent years have had the weakest non-conference schedules. The win over Medaille definitely looks good, although I would presume there is a lot of bad blood between Medaille and UofR. Without checking, Medaille would also be a good in-region win for NYU come tournament time bc Medaille may end up regionally ranked. Only a four point win, so this doesn't tell me too much about the talent level between the three teams.
NYU is extremely young (three seniors), and I think they lost a lot of their personality in their graduating class. (especially in Carmen and Hum-Traverso). It should be interesting to see where both the leadership and scoring comes from.
Captains: Kilmurray didn't seem too vocal (and I don't believe she has played this year, maybe injured?), Blake a bit of a firecracker but can score in bunches, and Storts (streaky scorer with low shooting percentage) and Franke having reserve roles last year.
This really feels to me like it is Coach Trompeo's test -- his recruits, his system (which is similar to Coach Quinn's) -- third year as acting head coach (his first year he held an interim title). He inherited McEntee and the squad in his first year, and now its his time to show his coaching pedigree.
They are picked to finish 5th in conference, and I think thats about where they stand right now -- behind at least WashU, UofR, UChicago, and Brandeis at this point.
Feel free to add your thoughts NYUfan

My thoughts on the Brandeis women so far--
(Caveat: I have only seen the Brandeis at Tufts game from last Sunday in person so far due to the fact that I do not own a car and unless people are available who can give me a ride to and from the Brandeis campus, it will take me a few hours by public transportation to get from the southern suburbs of Boston, where I live, to Waltham, MA, in the western suburbs. Because of that fact, I will primarily invest in the public transportation for Brandeis home games in UAA conference play-- other than that, Brandeis now has streaming video of their home games, so I have followed the Judges on-line. The parents of the Brandeis players may complain that I can't go to as many home games as I did in the past, and they have expressed the fact that they miss me when I am not there in person, but they aren't the ones giving me rides to and from the games, so I have to discount that for the most part, unfortunately.)
To start with, I am very thankful that the Brandeis women's softball and soccer teams gave me NCAA post-season appearances this past year.
That is because I caught a very bad break with the injury situation involving the Judges women's basketball team.
Out of the top 6 scorers from last season, Brandeis only has 2 of those players back due to graduation and injury. That would be Morgan Kendrew and Amber Strodthoff.
In the preseason, Diana Cincotta, who was Brandeis's top 3 point shooter among the returning players, was lost for the season due to injury. She is redshirted this year and I hope that she will be back next season for her senior year.
In addition, another top returning player, Shannon Hassan, who averaged 5.3 ppg last year, suffered a season-ending injury 6 minutes into the Babson game. She was in the Brandeis starting lineup before the injury, and her injury has forced Brighid Courtney, who averaged 3.8 ppg last season, into a starting role for the Judges.
Through 6 games this season, only 3 Brandeis players are averaging more than 5 ppg. Mia DePalo, who has primarily been a defense and rebounding specialist, now also has to score some points this season. She has done fine so far and she is the third player currently averaging more than 5 ppg-- the other two being Strodthoff and Kendrew.
Of note, in the Tufts game, DePalo not only had 12 rebounds in that game, but she also scored 6 pts in that game as well.
Another current starter, junior Kelly Ethier, had a good campaign in her first season, but she is coming back from an injury that she sustained last year that made her miss most of last season's campaign.
Even if Ethier and Courtney improve on the scoring front, Brandeis's success this season is going to have to depend on the efforts of the first years and sophomores.
So far, Brandeis has only averaged about 55 ppg this season, with a season-high 68 points scored against NESCAC bottom dweller Connecticut College, and a season low 48 pts scored against Wellesley. Brandeis has played current top 10 team Babson, and lost to the Beavers by 3 pts in overtime in what was Babson's first game of the season-- Babson returns most of their players back from an Elite 8 appearance in the NCAA tournament.
From what I have seen so far this season, 4th place in the UAA may be a little bit too optimistic for the Judges. I hope that the Judges can finish as high as that, but if Brandeis needs to survive by holding teams into low scoring games in the 50's, that is trouble for the rest of the season. Brandeis has a very good defense as their strong point-- that will keep them in games such as the Tufts game from a few days ago, but against teams like Emory and others who love to play up-tempo and score high, Brandeis will be severely tested unless more players can step up and provide offense.

UChicago
NYU
Brandeis
CWU
Emory

The top three seem to be on a different level than the rest of the conference.
Really interesting in the 5-7 spots.... Emory has a good chance to beat anyone from NYU down. CWU core scorers are clicking, but they are unproven and I cant put them above Brandeis quite yet. And, Im watching Brandeis play Emmanuel online, it's not pretty to say the least...
***Update on Brandeis/Emmanual**** After six minutes of play, 12 combined turnovers and about 7 combined airballs, I decided to switch to another game. Brandeis should win, but Emmanuel can pull it off with pressure half-court defense and man and zone full court presses.

Final from Auerbach Arena--
Brandeis 72, Emmanuel 67
I am glad that the Judges won this game-- coming into this one, I thought that this particular meeting would end up being Emmanuel's first victory at Red Auerbach Arena since the Brandeis v Emmanuel series resumed a few years ago. The Judges, however, were able to get the win and score a season-high 72 pts in the process.
More than any of the other local rivalries involving Brandeis and other teams, this one has a special meaning for me, and I really did want to see this one in person tonight, but if I went personally to see this one, I would have to stay to see the Brandeis men play Clark, and there was no one available to give me a ride home tonight, so it would mean an after midnight arrival time back home (public transportation back to Boston, and then a commuter train ride south.) I was glad to see this one on video tonight.
For the Saints, the top two scorers were Kristin Lebel, (27 pts) who was the top returning scorer for Emmanuel coming into the season, and Meghan Kirwan, (17 pts), who transferred from DII UMass-Lowell where she played the past two seasons.
Brandeis was able to counter that with their first total team effort of the season, IMO, to get the win. Kelly Ethier scored 14 pts today to back up Amber Strodthoff, who scored 15 pts. The sophomores and first years also made healthy contributions in the victory, and I will follow up on that in a later post when the final box score gets posted.

Follow up post--
28 points for the Judges tonight vs Emmanuel came off the bench-- first years and sophomores.
Samantha Anderson (sophomore)-- 8 pts in the win.
Janelle Rodriguez (first year)-- 10 pts in the win.
Kasey Dean (first year)-- 6 pts
Brandeis outrebounded Emmanuel, 36-30.
High number of turnovers-- which is to be expected given Emmanuel's defense and style of play.
Brandeis needs to work on free-throw shooting for next game-- Emmanuel went 94% from charity stripe tonight, while Brandeis only went 15-26 from charity stripe.
Next game is home vs Roger Williams on Saturday.

Watching Wheaton (Ill.) v UChicago.
Interesting game... (not too much on the basketball side)...but rather getting acquainted to players stepping into new roles.
Wheaton just stopped UCs 17-0 run, and it has been pretty lopsided in what I have watched so far. Wheaton's three pt shooting keeping them in the game. Even with a solid 3pt fg %, Chicago's zone still looks good and they are basically scoring at will in the half-court.

I listened to the NYU-Farmingdale State game on WNYU tonight. Farmingdale State won, 59-50, at Coles Center.
The less said about this game, the better. NYU did not perform well tonight, and needs to go back to the practice court.
NYU held to 50 pts tonight by Farmingdale's defense. NYU's Maggie Ely had 18 pts before fouling out, but that was the only bright spot in what was not a great game by NYU against the defending Skyline Conference champion.
NYU plays defending CUNYAC champion Baruch on Saturday.

Last evening, I saw Wheaton's 84-63 loss at the U of Chicago.
Excluding team rebounds, the Maroons got 38 of the 58 contested rebounds. And, Chicago's tough half-court defense held the Thunder to 8 for 36 on 2FG attempts.
A couple of positives for Wheaton :
Lindsey Brenneman scored 18 pts from 13 FG att.
The end of the soccer season allowed Laura Karsten to join the basketball team.

I watched the end of Washington University-University of New England, but not enough to report on much. The Bears advance with a 64-53 win to play Elmhurst tomorrow for the McWilliams title.
I read in the program that New England went 23-6 last year losing in the first round of the tournament, but I know nothing about them as well.

Watched most 3/4ths of the WashU game... nothing life-changing to report. They are definitely playing a lot of young talent... Starting with Rettig, but with Sayers, Montgomery, and Anda getting a lot of time.
It again wasn't the prettiest game, but WashU did what it does best and made adjustments at half time. They didn't shoot very well from the floor -- 24% from the floor in the first half, but 46% in the second half... Three's also weren't falling for the Bears, shooting a pretty dismal 3 for 19 for the game. With that being said, they simply dominated the boards. Every posession there was a lot of crashing the boards from both the guards spots and the posts... They ended with 28 offensive boards en route to a +24 rebounding margin. Really it was incredible the amount of effort and hustle when each shot went up.
Margo Russell was the highlight for New England with 24 points (but 6 turnovers as well) and 15 of those points from the free throw line. New England started well and kept pace with WashU most of the first half falling behind at most by 9 points, but the second half wasn't pretty and their fg % in the second half was 21% with a lot of shots coming very late in the shot clock.
I know Elmhurst is quite different from what they were last year, but I will certainly take a glimpse at the game tomorrow because of the future in-region implications.

You got that one right, but look at that score. Illinois Wesleyan wins 76-75, scoring the go ahead basket with 0.08 and holding off Chicago's final possesion to win, providing that the live stats are right. The CCIW thread should have the full story soon enough.

Yeah we know the NCAC is not quite the UAA ;)
Case doesn't have a winning culture, but they have individuals with talent year after year... the senior year of that center Horton (I believe that was her name) maybe in 2008 was dangerous and last year with Ashley Tondo (sp?). This year the core of Iafelice, Iacono, and Hollinger can put up numbers. Their problem is depth and not having solid role players.
My gut feeling is they would pull up the upset, but I know sooner or later them or Emory will get some team sleeping.

For the third time in less than a week, Case loses to a member of their former conference. This time they came roaring back from a 20-point second half deficit to force OT, but couldn't maintain the momentum and lost at Oberlin, 79-78 (OT). Erin Hollinger led four Spartans in double figures with 20. CWRU gets one more crack at the NCAC in a couple of weeks when they travel to Wooster, perhaps the weakest team in our conference.

WashU leads 41-29 over Central.
It wasn't a pretty start, and the Dutch controlled most of the first half as WashU missed lay-ups and open jump shots. Central was doing quite well with scoring contested lay-ups and off of offensive boards, but turnovers in the last six minutes of the first half were the downfall of the Dutch and they relinquished leads of six and five points. WashU looked out of sync early on offense, but showed composure defensively and exposed the rhythm of the "pass-screen-away" motion offense of the Dutch. Should be a good second half, and the first five minutes will be extremely important. Central has an opportunity to close the gap before it's too late, but WashU can blow the lead wide open with a few stops and scores early.
Central's offense seems pretty balanced. WashU's Kathryn Berger is leading the Bears' offensive charge.
If it turns into a blowout, I probably wont do a recap tomorrow. Biggest game in the next few days is the Carthage v Chicago game. UChicago continues its always tough non-conference schedule. Carthage was upset this week, so they will try to bounce back and beat the Maroons. Halfhill comes off of almost a triple double with 20 points, 14 boards, eight assists and three steals in a 84-63 win over Wheaton.
I expect Rochester to win tomorrow, and we should see if NYU can stop its slide and beat Juniata. Things are not looking good for the Violets as of late, but I havent seen them play since their season opener.

Dec. 11
William Smith 51 at Rochester 74
Juniata 56 at New York U. 74
Loras 49 at Washington (Mo.) 69
NYU picks up a much needed win, Kathryn Berger has back-to-back 17pt-11rbd games to help lead the Bears to a 2-0 weekend against IIAC foes, and Rochester is on an eight game winning streak after dismantling William Smith. Alwardt matches Berger's performance, also posting 17 and 11.
Looking forward to a great game tomorrow with Chicago traveling to Kenosha, Wis. to take on Carthage. This in-region match-up will probably play a large role in the regional rankings later this season. Carthage is coming off an upset loss to Calvin, which I think was a very mild upset. I could see Chicago pulling this out, but they have not faired well on the road with losses at Lakeland, IWU, and UW-La Crosse. I figured they would beat one of the two CCIW powers, and with them falling in overtime to the Titans, I am mentally penciling the Maroons in for a win.

Washington University had to replace three starters that averaged at least 10 points per game. Here is a quick look at how scoring has worked out so far (looking at players who have averaged three points per game).
Berger and Hoover have stepped up, not suprisingly, but the big story is the freshman Jordan Rettig who is averaging 10 points per game, and scored 15 against Illinois Wesleyan. Add in Sayers and Anda and on a cursory glance, it looks like the Bears are close to replacing what was lost, though not to discount the loss of the superstars Unruh and McFarlin.
2009-2010 Season Averages
Zoe Unruh 26.2 minutes, 4.5 rebounds, 12.3 points
Jaimie McFarlin 25.7 minutes, 8.5 rebounds, 10.4 points

Agree with you there. Stat review is perfect now that a substantial amount of games have been played. As we inch closer to Christmas, Im sure those MIAAs will be sneaking peeks at the board for chatter before the WashU/Hope match-up on Dec. 29th. I refrain from calling it a rematch for what you said in your previous post, graduating Unruh, McFarlin, and Evans has certainly given this team a different look equally defensively as offensively.
With that being said, the numbers are incredibly similar to last years' ending statistics. The team is averaging 70 and giving up 50. Field goal percentage is slightly down this yr, but three point shooting percentage is up.
One difference in the numbers you posted is in the secondary scorers (Berger and Hoover of last year; Sayers and Anda of this year). This years secondary scorers are only averaging 6 and 5 (although their per forty stats are pretty phenomenal).
The second difference is in rebounding. Berger has been playing from the guard spot and leads the team in rebounding. Last year, rebounding was more post heavy with Evans and McFarlin leading the squad. As the Bears succeed in UAA play, Rettig and the fellow posts will step up and increasing those rebounding totals.
Off the cuff, Rettig would be my frontrunner for UAA rookie of the year. Any other newbies making moves in the UAA? I can't recall any other freshman with these strong of stats.

Off the cuff, Rettig would be my frontrunner for UAA rookie of the year. Any other newbies making moves in the UAA? I can't recall any other freshman with these strong of stats.

She decided just to pursue other interests. The typical D3 reason. Looked like the starting job was basically hers but happy with a ring and WashU has a lot to offer. The same thing has happened on the men's side as well even with the success of both programs.

UChicago topples #5 Carthage (http://athletics.uchicago.edu/news-2010-11/wbk-carthage-121310.htm)
Glad to see the Maroons get this one. CCIW looks really interesting this year -- IWU, Carthage, and Millikin knocking off top dogs. None of them dominating, but all top-25 caliber teams. Definitely looks like CCIW has a great chance to get two into the NCAAs again this year even without an upset in the conference tournament, which in turn will put more pressure on Chicago who will probably be playing in for that same spot.
Unfortunately I didn't get to watch the game. (MNF ended up taking precedence.) But from the write-up, it looked pretty exciting.

If anyone wants to chime in here, I wouldn't mind, so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself ;D
Everyone else on the boards is doing it (Massey, SOS, etc), so I figured might as well see what Massey spits out about the UAA.
In comparing Massey (http://www.masseyratings.com/rate.php?lg=cbw&yr=2011&sub=NCAA%20III&mid=1#conf) relative to D3hoops polls, Massey has Rochester overrated and Chicago underrated. Chicago definitely got hurt in the human polls by that Lakeland loss, which Massey rates as the ninth most unlikely upset this season. The Emory win over Sewanee is the max total in D3 for combined point totals so far this season, which I would have guessed. That was pretty incredible.

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 (http://www.masseyratings.com/rate.php?lg=cbw&yr=2011&sub=NCAA%20III&mid=1#conf), but MIAC team-by-team looks fine (http://www.masseyratings.com/team.php?t=12649&s=101141). They have played about 59 games so far this season based on a quick glance of their composite schedule (http://www.miac-online.org/calendar.aspx?path=wbball&season=2010-2011&). Thats a really weird mix-up by data, although we see with Boise State and the BCS, even the computers aren't perfect :D

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.

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.

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.

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" :D). 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 (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/news/story?id=5937356) 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.

UConn women also on my slate tonight as well. I concur with what Wydown Blvd said about Geno's comments as well-- it may seem harsh to hear, but well worth it-- the media never seemed to take note of when UConn beat Howard on Nov. 26 to break Wash U's 81 game winning streak, but they certainly took notice of the UCLA streak. At least UConn is good enough to mention it in their game notes on the website for each game that they play. (I did watch the UConn game on Sunday when they beat Ohio State).
An interesting note about Div III-- no other men's or women's basketball program in DIII (other than the Wash U women) has ever won more than 60 games in a row.
Geno is a great mentor for basketball.

Some musings as I am awaiting the big game between Wash U and Hope tonight:
(1) I caught the video of some of the second half between Carnegie Mellon and Otterbein last night.
It looks to me like Jacki Cortese is still recovering from the injuries that kept her out of UAA competition last season-- she only scored 12 points in last night's game. Normally, she is capable of averaging 20+ ppg, but she is only averaging about 12 ppg so far this season with her season high being 18 in a game.
Ali Aunkst seems to have gotten injured in the off-season and is working her way back into playing shape, but she is having a hard time of it. Her 3 point shooting has really suffered this season, and that is the strongest part of her game. For the season, she is only hitting 2-23 from 3 pt range, she played 26 minutes in last night's game and went 0-9 from 3 pt range. Last season, Ali Aunkst was Carnegie Mellon's best 3 point shooter.
Nicole Vaccarella for the Tartans has probably been the only notable bright spot. She made 4 3's in last night's game vs Otterbein, and is currently Carnegie Mellon's best 3 point shooter right now-- she gained UAA recognition a few weeks ago for hitting 7 3's against Oberlin, the most by a CMU player in a single game in school history.
Carnegie Mellon is loving the up-tempo game, but is having trouble handling the ball on offense. The CMU defense needs dramatic improvement, as Otterbein shot 36 of 67 from the field in last night's game without too much difficulty. Otterbein only had 2 wins on the season going into last night. Tjhe 86 points scored by Otterbein was a season high for the Otterbein Cardinals, and the second most points given up in a game this season by the CMU defense-- Denison scored 91 on CMU earlier this season.
In short, unless Jacki Cortese and Ali Aunkst show improvement, and the CMU defense gets tougher, I find it hard to see Carnegie Mellon winning another game this season, let alone a UAA game.
(2) Case is back in action today and tomorrow-- I'll check their box scores.
(3) On the Brandeis front, I will go to Brandeis to see my Judges play Husson on Friday. Although I expect Brandeis to beat Husson on Friday in the second matchup ever between the Judges and the Husson Eagles, Husson has been able to play competitively against Bates and S. Maine this season. Husson is trying to improve from getting blown out by Bowdoin and a not so-great showing against the GNAC's St. Joseph's (Maine), where Husson only scored 46 points in that game and lost by a point.
In the only previous matchup between Brandeis and Husson, Brandeis won by 40, but the make-up of both teams has changed a bit since January of 2008.
(4) With NYU coming up on January 8 to start the UAA season for my Judges, I will be interested in checking out how NYU does against Swarthmore. NYU has been without the services of senior center Chrissy Kilmurray all season due to injury-- if Kilmurray is to play this season, I would expect that she would see action against Swarthmore-- otherwise I don't really see how Kilmurray would be able to work her way back in playing shape against UAA competition-- of course, I should always expect a few surprises along the way as far as the UAA is concerned.
I expect NYU to defeat Conn College in the tune-up game before the game vs. Brandeis on January 8th at Auerbach Arena.
Swarthmore is led by a leading player in the Centennial Conference in 6-0 senior forward Kathryn Stockbower (#23), and has former Carnegie Mellon basketball player Sandy Rectenwald (CMU '03) as an assistant coach for the Garnet. The Garnet's 6-5 senior center (#50) is not one of their best players, however.
For Swarthmore, Stockbower averages a double-double every game, with 16.3 ppg and 13.1 rpg. Stockbower has 70 double-doubles on her college career, 9 shy of tying the NCAA Division III record for most college career double-doubles. I'll try to look up how many double-doubles former NYU player Jessica McEntee got for her college career.
Update-- Former NYU player Jessica McEntee only had 53 career double-doubles, and she did not get her first double-double until her sophomore campaign. McEntee battled mono as a frosh, otherwise Jessica McEntee might have been able to hold the NCAA record for that category.
So far on the NYU front, Chelsea Blake has been very effective as the starting point guard for the Violets-- she is the UAA leader in assists per game with 6.6 apg. Cara Bertino has been very effective as well as the #2 point guard for the Violets.
On the NYU scoring front, Maggie Ely has developed her game over the off-season, and in her sophomore campaign is the current leading scorer for NYU. Maggie Ely got UAA recognition as a player of the week for her performance against Juniata a few weeks ago.
On the NYU rebounding front, sophomore Mackenzie Hirz and NYU frosh Kelly Loughney have been doing a relatively decent job in leading NYU on the rebounding front in Chrissy Kilmurray's absence-- however as Coach Trompeo has stated in games where NYU has lost, NYU needs to do better on getting the clutch rebounds when they count in the game.
(5) UW-Platteville against Chicago this week-- I'm looking forward to see any comments on that game.
(6) Emory should be able to defeat Agnes Scott on Friday-- I'm looking forward to see how they do against ranked NAIA-2 power Brescia (Kentucky) next week.
I will also be interested in Emory's Sunday road game at defending Great South Athletic Conf. champion Maryville (TN)-- the Maryville Scots were Wash U's first round NCAA opponent last March when Wash U won the title. Maryville (TN) is also a regular non-conference opponent of Emory's.
That is all for now-- Wash U v. Hope is tonight-- I'll be watching the videocast of that game.
(1) I caught the video of some of the second half between Carnegie Mellon and Otterbein last night.
It looks to me like Jacki Cortese is still recovering from the injuries that kept her out of UAA competition last season-- she only scored 12 points in last night's game. Normally, she is capable of averaging 20+ ppg, but she is only averaging about 12 ppg so far this season with her season high being 18 in a game.
Ali Aunkst seems to have gotten injured in the off-season and is working her way back into playing shape, but she is having a hard time of it. Her 3 point shooting has really suffered this season, and that is the strongest part of her game. For the season, she is only hitting 2-23 from 3 pt range, she played 26 minutes in last night's game and went 0-9 from 3 pt range. Last season, Ali Aunkst was Carnegie Mellon's best 3 point shooter.
Nicole Vaccarella for the Tartans has probably been the only notable bright spot. She made 4 3's in last night's game vs Otterbein, and is currently Carnegie Mellon's best 3 point shooter right now-- she gained UAA recognition a few weeks ago for hitting 7 3's against Oberlin, the most by a CMU player in a single game in school history.
Carnegie Mellon is loving the up-tempo game, but is having trouble handling the ball on offense. The CMU defense needs dramatic improvement, as Otterbein shot 36 of 67 from the field in last night's game without too much difficulty. Otterbein only had 2 wins on the season going into last night. Tjhe 86 points scored by Otterbein was a season high for the Otterbein Cardinals, and the second most points given up in a game this season by the CMU defense-- Denison scored 91 on CMU earlier this season.
In short, unless Jacki Cortese and Ali Aunkst show improvement, and the CMU defense gets tougher, I find it hard to see Carnegie Mellon winning another game this season, let alone a UAA game.
(2) Case is back in action today and tomorrow-- I'll check their box scores.
(3) On the Brandeis front, I will go to Brandeis to see my Judges play Husson on Friday. Although I expect Brandeis to beat Husson on Friday in the second matchup ever between the Judges and the Husson Eagles, Husson has been able to play competitively against Bates and S. Maine this season. Husson is trying to improve from getting blown out by Bowdoin and a not so-great showing against the GNAC's St. Joseph's (Maine), where Husson only scored 46 points in that game and lost by a point.
In the only previous matchup between Brandeis and Husson, Brandeis won by 40, but the make-up of both teams has changed a bit since January of 2008.
(4) With NYU coming up on January 8 to start the UAA season for my Judges, I will be interested in checking out how NYU does against Swarthmore. NYU has been without the services of senior center Chrissy Kilmurray all season due to injury-- if Kilmurray is to play this season, I would expect that she would see action against Swarthmore-- otherwise I don't really see how Kilmurray would be able to work her way back in playing shape against UAA competition-- of course, I should always expect a few surprises along the way as far as the UAA is concerned.
I expect NYU to defeat Conn College in the tune-up game before the game vs. Brandeis on January 8th at Auerbach Arena.
Swarthmore is led by a leading player in the Centennial Conference in 6-0 senior forward Kathryn Stockbower (#23), and has former Carnegie Mellon basketball player Sandy Rectenwald (CMU '03) as an assistant coach for the Garnet. The Garnet's 6-5 senior center (#50) is not one of their best players, however.
For Swarthmore, Stockbower averages a double-double every game, with 16.3 ppg and 13.1 rpg. Stockbower has 70 double-doubles on her college career, 9 shy of tying the NCAA Division III record for most college career double-doubles. I'll try to look up how many double-doubles former NYU player Jessica McEntee got for her college career.
Update-- Former NYU player Jessica McEntee only had 53 career double-doubles, and she did not get her first double-double until her sophomore campaign. McEntee battled mono as a frosh, otherwise Jessica McEntee might have been able to hold the NCAA record for that category.

Note: Carnegie Mellon is competitive. 22-4 run against Capital in the Smokey Ballenger Classic consolation game in last 5 minutes yesterday to make it interesting. CMU was down by 28 with 5 minutes to go.
CMU frosh Alexis Zambino scores a personal best 11 pts in the game yesterday. 8 of those 11 points came in the last 5 minutes of the ball game.
CMU outrebounded Capital yesterday, 46-28 as well.
CMU still has a lot of work to do, however.... I'll check their box score Friday against Hiram.

Yes, historically Hiram is the one non conference team that CMU can be counted on to beat, but according to the Massey ratings going into the holidays, Kenneth Massey has Hiram as a 6 pt favorite and a 70% chance to finally beat CMU at Skibo Gym. Of course, the results from the Smokey Ballenger Classic have not yet been entered, so I don't know how that will chance the handicapping calculation. It seemed interesting, but I don't take Massey as gospel.... :)
(Both CMU and Hiram have low Massey rating numbers in DIII going into the holiday break.)
I'm not going to read too much into Friday's results, but just looking at them to check up on CMU's form going into the UAA.
Hiram did beat Bluffton and has 6 wins on the season-- better than most years for the Terriers at this point in the season.
Which means that Wash U and Hope should be able to beat their respective opponents today as well, with Wash U facing Bluffton and Hope taking on Ohio Wesleyan.

For New Year's Eve, I'm back on the Brandeis campus to see the Brandeis v Husson game. When I called Brandeis SID director Adam Levin this morning, he told me that tomorrow's game vs Husson has been moved upstairs to Shapiro Gym due to resurfacing work on the Brandeis track-- however, I expect Auerbach Arena to be ready for the UAA doubleheader vs NYU on January 8th.
Shapiro Gym was the old home court for the Brandeis Judges until 1990, when the Gosman Center started construction. For basketball, it is currently used for intramural games as well as practice sessions.
Although Shapiro Gym is still used as volleyball courts #2 and #3 when Brandeis hosts volleyball meets, regular season basketball games have rarely been played on that court since Auerbach Arena opened in 1992. One of the few basketball games played in Shapiro Gym since 1992, to my distant memory, occurred when a Brandeis men's basketball game vs Mount Ida some years back had to be moved upstairs to Shapiro Gym due to a Brandeis player breaking a rim in Auerbach Arena during warmups and there was no replacement rim immediately available.
It will be interesting for me to sit in a makeshift bench tomorrow cheering on Brandeis. Maybe I'll stand tomorrow instead... :)

Well, Allen, Hiram won at Washington & Jefferson today, something I thought would never happen in my lifetime. W&J is way down this year, but maybe, just maybe, Hiram's a little better than I've been giving them credit for. Tomorrow's Hiram/CMU game will be videocast by CMU (link here (http://www.cmu.edu/athletics/fanzone/video/webcast.html)) with a 1pm tip time, and I'll be watching.

Your musings are always much appreciated. Please keep them coming.
Do you have any thoughts on the Washington University-Hope College rematch?
My initial thought is that a 49-47 loss is about the best possible loss mid-season, given what both teams returned from last season.

I watched some of the game on video-- I was not surprised that the Wash U v Hope game was a low scoring affair, given that it was in late December when neither team is expected to be at the top of their game.
Special thanks to Ohio Wesleyan for arranging the game for their tournament.
Whoever won that game was going to have to win it in a grind-it-out affair, given that the defenses were very strong, and neither offense was at the top prime March level yet. Carrie Snikkers's 13 pt, 14 rebound game for Hope was one factor in the outcome, but at least she did not hit the game winner.
That being said, I agree that Wash U is not that far off the pace as far as the national championship picture is concerned.
If you now take a look at the Massey ratings which include the result from that game, Hope now has the #1 rating in DIII as of right now, with Amherst dropping to #3 in the Masseys as a result of the forced cancellation of the Lord Jeffs's trip to Las Vegas due to last week's blizzard. It was a shame that the weather prevented Amherst from taking on St. Norbert, although the Jeffs tried their best to get their team on to flights to Vegas-- unfortunately, not even their proposed solution of trying to bus to Columbus, Ohio and fly out from there panned out.
I listened to the most recent interview with Emory coach Christy Thomaskutty on the Eagles web site relating to her thoughts on the 3 games Emory is playing against Agnes Scott, Maryville (TN), and NAIA-2 ranked Brescia (Ky). Coach Thomaskutty was pleased with the way practice has been going for her young Emory squad, and I guess that it did pay off-- the Eagles had an easier time of it this year defeating the Agnes Scott Scotties than Emory's game last year at their crosstown rival. Emory is playing at Maryville (TN) today-- Wash U defeated Maryville in the first round of the NCAAs last March on the way to the national title.
Wash U at Chicago next Saturday is the UAA game of the day with NYU at Brandeis the second game to watch. I'll have more thoughts on the four matches later this week-- Case should win at Carnegie Mellon on Saturday, however, just for my first pick.
Brandeis v Husson could have gone better, but I'll take the 17 point win under the circumstances this week. I'm looking to see how NYU does against Swarthmore tomorrow-- I'm not too worried about facing Lasell on Tuesday, although I want to see if some of the underclassmen play better than they did in the second half against Eastern Nazarene. That being said, although Lasell may not seem to be competitive right now, I expect the Lasers to become stronger over the next few years now that a former Bates assistant is coaching the squad.
Rochester finally comes back to action from the break with a Tuesday tilt against RIT, and seeing that CMU lost to Hiram, will the Tartans be able to win at AMCC opponent Penn State- Altoona?

Final-- Maryville (TN) 76, Emory 69
Emory did not have a great first half-- the Eagles trailed by 21 late in the first half and were down at halftime by 19 pts. However, Emory had a comeback run in the second half to cut their deficit to as little as 3 pts, but 2-15 shooting from 3 pt range and 17-32 shooting from the charity stripe were factors that prevented the Eagles from tying the game or taking the lead.

New York U. at Brandeis - Toughest pick of the weekend
Emory at Rochester - Revenging last year's upset
Case Western Reserve at Carnegie Mellon - Could be a blowout
Washington (Mo.) at Chicago - After watching WashU face Hope, I think WashU's defense holds the Maroons for the win

Halftime update from NYU v Swarthmore-- I am listening to the audio webcast on WNYU--
Too bad NYU is not video streaming this game.
At the half, NYU leads Swarthmore by a score of 30-28.
NYU's defense doing a good job on Kathryn Stockbower from Swarthmore-- Stockbower held scoreless in first half, only 1 rebound.
Chrissy Kilmurray, the star NYU center, has been activated.-- She played 7 minutes in the first half, but sat out most of the half with 2 quick fouls-- Coach Trompeo is not deliberately limiting her minutes.
Kilmurray has 3 pts for the half and 2 defensive rebounds.
NYU had a 27-16 lead with 3:22 to go in the first half, but Swarthmore went on a 12-3 run to close out the half-- the Swarthmore run consisted of 2 treys, 1 inside bucket, and 4 points from the charity stripe.
Swarthmore held to 7 of 28 shooting for the half, 4 of 14 from downtown, but 10-11 from the charity stripe is keeping the Garnet in the game.

Final from Coles Center--
Swarthmore 74, NYU 67
Swarthmore's Kathryn Stockbower, after being held scoreless in the first half with only 1 rebound, came up big in the second half.
Stockbower finished the game with 22 pts and 18 rebounds for the Garnet, and that double-double came almost entirely in the second half. Stockbower put on a performance for Swarthmore today similar to what Brandeis got from Jessica Chapin last year in most of the comeback efforts.
I believe that is the 71st career double double for Stockbower, leaving her 8 shy of the NCAA DIII record.
Swarthmore outrebounded NYU on the glass, 54-36.
Relatively good game for NYU's Chrissy Kilmurray in her first game back-- Kilmurray had 8 pts and 5 rebounds for the game. NYU frosh Kelly Loughney led all NYU rebounders with 10 caroms.
NYU shot 23 of 73 for the game: 31.5%, 5-24 from 3 pt range, and 16 of 22 from the charity stripe.
Swarthmore shot 23 of 58 for the game: 39.7%, 8 of 24 from 3 pt range, and 20 of 27 from the stripe.
NYU handled the ball well despite the loss, 15 assists, with just 13 turnovers. The shots just did not fall when NYU needed them.
If any NYU supporter witnessed the game, I would appreciate any thoughts that they had on this one.

From NYU's post game recap:
Coach Trompeo's remarks on NYU's failure to stop D3Hoops.com All-American Kathryn Stockbower in the second half of today's game vs Swarthmore:
"I'm disappointed in our effort against her in the second half. We did an excellent job shutting her down in the first half-- we held her to zero points and four turnovers. But we just conceded to her and let her off in the second, and that was the difference."
Coach Trompeo's remarks on NYU center Chrissy Kilmurray's first game back:
"Obviously, she's going to help us out a lot. Getting out there for the first time, she showed signs of production and also signs of fatigue after being out a full semester."
NYU led, 62-56 with 5:22 to play before a late 14-0 run by Swarthmore made it Swarthmore 70, NYU 62 with 1:46 remaining.
For NYU, Chelsea Blake had 14 pts, 4 steals, and 3 assists. NYU freshman Kelly Loughney had a double-double with 13 pts and 10 rebounds in her first career start. Bianca Storts had 11 pts and 3 steals for NYU.
NYU plays Conn College tomorrow. Brandeis defeated Conn College by 32 points earlier this season.

Carnegie Mellon just picked up their 2nd win of the season by beating Penn State-Altoona, 90-72. I would not read too much into it, however. Penn State Altoona is undersized and only played 8 players. While CMU led throughout, I was disappointed that the Tartans did not win by at least 30 points considering that CMU dominated Penn State Altoona on the glass.
Penn State Altoona is a team that the Tartans should have beaten-- at least CMU got the job done despite giving up too many points on defense today. CMU led throughout the game.

It is a huge upset win and a big win for the Camels-- NYU rallied from 10 down in the second half and forced overtime, but despite taking a 7 pt lead in the overtime period, NYU was unable to hold on and lost by 1 point.
Before yesterday, the only quality win that the Camels had was a 6 pt win over Springfield in the consolation game of the Brandeis Classic. Conn College had lost to Wellesley, W. Connecticut, RI College, Roger Williams, and St. Joseph (CT).
4 of the 5 NYU starters (Loughney, Blake, Storts, and Ely) played more than 25 minutes yesterday, with the other starter, Chrissy Kilmurray, playing 17 minutes.
On the NYU bench, only NYU frosh Alexis Doherty played more than 10 minutes-- she played 25 minutes yesterday, but she broke through with a double-double performance.
NYU frosh Kelly Loughney also picked up her first double-double of the season as well.
NYU reserve players MacKenzie Hirz and Cara Bonito played fewer than 10 minutes of game time each in yesterday's loss.
NYU center Chrissy Kilmurray had 9 pts and 4 rebounds in 17 minutes of action.
For Conn College, the players of the day were CT College senior Jennifer Shinall and CT College freshman Tara Gabelman. Gabelman had a double-double for the Camels, and as a result, she was named to the NYU All-Classic Team along with NYU frosh Kelly Loughney.
As for Brandeis yesterday, I felt that the Judges met their game-time goals in the win over Lasell. Strodthoff picked up a double-double, and every Brandeis player on the active roster got in the game and got a rebound. Brandeis almost got a team positive assist/turnover ratio in the game, but missed by 1 assist. As a caveat, though, Lasell only dressed 7 players for the game.
I'm looking forward to watching Emory take on Brescia (Ky) today. Brescia is currently 10-4 coming into the game, and was ranked #16 in NAIA-2 in the most recent coaches poll that was taken on Dec. 13 when Brescia was 9-1.
Against NCAA DIII teams this season, Brescia is 2-1, having defeated Albion and Kenyon and having lost to Defiance.
Of interest to me is seeing how Emory will defend against Brescia's star combo guard Brittany Bird, a 5-3 senior who has stats that, at first glance, makes me think that she plays a game similar to Amherst's Shannon Finucane. Bird also reminds me somewhat of former NYU player Adrienne Rochetti in the way that she plays the game. I'm not sure, though, that Bird is as strong as Finucane or Rochetti, however.
Brittany Bird averages 22.6 ppg and 3.4 rpg. She shoots 39.8% from the floor (84-211), 34.6% from 3pt range (23-66), and 86.9% from the charity stripe (126-145) She has 92 assists, 57 turnovers, and 59 steals on the season. In her first 14 games so far, she has scored 317 points on the season.
Other Brescia players to watch:
5-9 Sr G/F Clarrissa Houston 13.4 ppg, 5.0 rpg. Brescia's top 3 pt shooter with 47 made 3's on the season-- she shoots 39.2% from 3 pt land.
Amelia Keller-- Brescia's top rebounder with 6.4 rpg
Bresica frosh Olivia Moore-- 9.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg 50% FG on the season (shooting 46 of 92), and 73.4% from the charity stripe (47 of 64).
Brescia's current Massey ratings, as of Jan. 2, put them in the range of NESCAC teams Middlebury and Trinity (CT), and are pretty close to fellow NAIA-2 team Roberts Wesleyan, which Rochester regularly plays.
Note-- More info updated for clarification.

My picks for the first UAA weekend of competition:
Wash U wins at Chicago-- The top game of the day in the UAA, it will be very close.
Brandeis wins over NYU-- I have to go with this pick now after reading about NYU's 2 games vs Swarthmore and Conn College.
Case wins over Carnegie Mellon-- That one could be a huge blowout win for the Spartans at Skibo Gym.
Rochester wins over Emory-- This game is at the Palestra; Emory got the upset win last year down at the WoodPEC.

Emory defeated NAIA-2 team Brescia (Ky) today at the WoodPEC, 90-79.
Emory did a great job on the offensive side of the game, shooting 52.8% for the game, but could have done a better job defensively on Brescia's top 3 players.
For Emory, Hannah Lilly scored 17 pts, had 4 rbs, 6 assists, and 4 turnovers.
Savannah Morgan for Emory scored 13 pts, had 5 rbs, 5 assists and 2 turnovers.
Misha Jackson for Emory fell 1 rebound shy of a double-double with 14 pts and 9 rebounds.
For Brescia--
Brittany Bird had 24 pts, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and 10 turnovers.
Clarissa Houston had 19 pts on 5-12 shooting from 3 pt range.
Olivia Moore had 17 pts of 7-11 shooting from the field and 3-5 shooting from the charity stripe.
Emory improves to 7-4 on the season, while Brescia drops to 10-5 with a 2-2 mark vs NCAA Division III teams.

Don't know. I had said in my preview that this was Trompeo's year to prove his coaching creds. He had mainly inherited his previous teams, and the cupboard was certainly not bare with McEntee and the others. This year is basically all of his recruits and "his system" (which is obviously based on Coach Quinn's). This Brandeis/NYU game is going to be very telling.

WUSTL needs every point they can get, including the free throws. Cusworth misses on a 1-1. Bears are 7-12 from the line, Maroons are 10-13. 18 turnovers for the Bears.
66-56 back to a ten point game.

My reaction to the Brandeis-NYU game can primarily be summed up like this:
There were two teams. One team shot very well from the charity stripe. One team did not. The one that shot well from the charity stripe was victorious.
There were some other factors as well, but NYU played well enough to win yesterday's game.
Note: I have just updated this post to include Coach Stefano Trompeo's post game comments on the NYU victory at Brandeis. (http://www.gonyuathletics.com/news/2011/1/8/WBB_0108113643.aspx)

NYU is preparing for their Great Lakes road trip this weekend in a big way.
NYU is leading Hunter, 49-16, at the half in their traditional "Martin Luther King" game. (Albeit a week early).
NYU's defense limited Hunter to 18% shooting in the half (6 of 34), 2-12 from 3 pt range, 2-2 from the FT line.
NYU shot 19 of 39 in the half (49%), 4 of 7 from 3 pt land, and 7 of 9 from the charity stripe.
NYU should have no problem getting this victory.

In other news, congratulations to the Rochester women on getting their 2nd ever victory at the Bobby Wanzer Court on the St. John Fisher campus yesterday. This result was also the first road win in 18 years for the U of R in the Rochester/St. John Fisher local rivalry.
Special thanks to JC DeLass of WYSL 1040 AM/ 92.1 FM in Rochester, NY for relaying this information in his audiocast of the game.

Early scores at the half:
Case 38, NYU 24
Carnegie Mellon 32, Brandeis 26
Both Brandeis and NYU had short leads in the opening minute before the host schools took the lead and held it for the rest of the half.
Case led NYU by 17 with 4:09 left in the first while Carnegie Mellon's biggest lead of the half was by 12 with about 6 min left in the opening stanza.
CMU's Jacki Cortese did not start and did not play in the opening half-- I wonder if she injured herself in practice this week. CMU's Jennifer Larsen did start, however, and she is leading the Tartans with 10 points.
Brandeis only shot 3 of 7 from the charity stripe in the opening half-- the FT shooting will have to improve if Brandeis is to have a shot of winning this one.
Both Brandeis and NYU will have to adjust in the second half if they are to come back from these deficits.
Right now, it seems that there is a group of 3 teams at the top in Wash U, Chicago, and Rochester, with the rest of the UAA trying to chase that pack.
Rochester will play at Chicago with that tip set to start shortly at 6 PM Central/7 PM Eastern, while Emory is at Wash U with that tip set to start also at 6 PM Central.

Brandeis has come out strong in the second half at CMU and has taken the lead at 37-34 with 15:24 remaining.
Samantha Anderson of Brandeis has 4 fouls, but none of the other Brandeis players are in foul trouble.
Meanwhile in Cleveland, Case leads NYU by 17 early in the second half, 18 min left in regulation.
Recent update:
It looks like Carnegie Mellon and Brandeis may be battling this one to the wire, while Case is still holding a healthy lead over NYU. There is still a lot of time remaining in both games.
Brandeis now leading 50-45 with 7:30 remaining while Case is up by 18 with 8 min left in that one.

Brandeis has just barely escaped Skibo Gym with a 65-62 win over the Tartans.
Brandeis's biggest lead of the game was only by 8 points, as Carnegie Mellon made it a battle to the very end.
Meanwhile, Case looks poised to pull off a victory over NYU with less than a min remaining in Cleveland-- Case now up by 11 with 45 seconds left in that game.
Final now in from Cleveland: Case has defeated NYU by a score of 78-67.
It looks like Brandeis is going to have a tough game on Sunday at Case the way that the Spartans played tonight.
Update over in the Midwest:
Chicago leads Rochester, 47-32 at halftime.
Wash U leads Emory, 51-27 with 16:38 remaining in that contest.

Chicago defeated Rochester by a score of 87-59 at the Ratner Center in Chicago, IL tonight. While the Chicago win may not have been a surprise, the margin of victory was a surprise to me.
Chicago took the lead for good at 10:20 in the first half after the two teams initially battled it out to a 20-20 tie in the first 9 min and 40 seconds of that game.
Meanwhile, Wash U easily defeated Emory by a score of 94-55 at the WU Field House tonight.
Wash U took the lead for good with 13:42 remaining in the first half and cruised to the victory.

NYU went on a 8-0 run in the final 1:35 of the game before Carnegie Mellon's Jennifer Larsen hits a buzzer-beating trey. At least, that is what the live stats seem to say-- I did not see the live video to confirm, unfortunately.

Incredible game at WashU! One of the best D3 games I have ever witnessed. Momentum shifts within every half and each overtime even had its own storyline. The biggest weekend of the UAA turns to the UR/Emory v Chicago/Wustl weekend. WashU doesn't fare well at the Palestra in recent history, but I would be surprised if UR won both their home games that weekend. So Feb 11-13 is marked on my d3 calendar...
Thanks for the updates deiscanton, any comments on the games?

In answer to Wydown Blvd's comments about parity coming on the women's side of the UAA--
There is some parity, but there seems to be more groups of teams that you can put together in terms of class at the moment on the women's side as opposed to on the men's side of the UAA.
On the men's side, if you asked me right now who will win the UAA men's title, I would have no answer for you right now.
On the women's side, I think that the UAA women's title could go to either Wash U, Chicago, or Rochester. The other UAA women's teams have to chase down that pack. Rochester could sweep Chicago and Wash U at the Palestra-- Chicago pulled off a surprise by blowing out Rochester on Friday, but that result will not happen in the rematch.
Emory is not going to take the women's title. The team is too young at the moment, and Emory has already gone 0-3 vs Wash U, Chicago, and Rochester-- albeit all on the road, and Emory has yet to play them at the WoodPEC in Atlanta, where the situation could turn around and end up differently.
The Case women have yet to be tested against Wash U, Chicago, and Rochester. However, out of the group consisting of Case, Emory, Brandeis and NYU-- Case seems to have the best chance of picking up 3 or more wins against Wash U, Chicago, and Rochester at the moment-- this is not to say that the Spartans will pick up 3 victories against that top group, however.
Brandeis and NYU have their big test against Wash U, Chicago, and Rochester-- hosting these 3 teams at the Auerbach Arena and the Coles Center, respectively, over the next few weeks.
We do know that Case and Emory are capable of beating Brandeis and NYU on any given day, so games involving those four teams will be very competitive.
We also know that the CMU Tartans have shown that they will be competitive in UAA competition-- their record notwithstanding.
Just my brief thoughts right now.....

Good morning.
Back in December, I remember Wydown Blvd making this statement about Wash U frosh Jordan Rettig:
Well, it seems interesting to me that Rochester frosh Laney Ming has proven more impressive in the first three UAA games so far that Wash U frosh Jordan Rettig.
Unless I'm wrong, I assume that Wydown Blvd was able to see Laney Ming in person at the WU Field House last Sunday-- although she could have been watching the game on Bear TV internet video stream as well-- I enjoyed Jay Murry's call of the game last Sunday-- it was a very exciting game to watch.
I was just wondering if Wydown Blvd had any thoughts on Ming's performance so far this season.
Rochester probably would have won last Sunday-- thereby giving Rochester coach Jim Scheible his first victory at the Wash U Field House-- had Laney Ming not fouled out in the final minute of regulation.
The double-OT game at the Wash U Field House was only the second time in Wash U history that the women's basketball team was forced into double OT at the WU Field House-- Kenyon pulled off the feat in 2007 in the McWilliams Classic. The Kenyon team that forced Wash U into double OT in 2007 had won the Brandeis Classic earlier that season. However, that Kenyon team did not have that much success back in Ohio, ironically enough. (to my knowledge, anyway....)
Had Scheible gotten the victory last Sunday, it would have been only the fifth time in the history of the UAA that the Wash U women's basketball team lost a home UAA conference game. To my knowledge, Carnegie Mellon's Gerri Seidl was the first coach to beat Wash U at the Field House in UAA play-- she did it once in the early 1990's. Former NYU coach Janice Quinn was the only UAA coach to get multiple victories in UAA play at the Wash U Field House-- NYU pulled off the feat twice under her leadership. Brandeis coach Carol Simon also was able to get a win in St. Louis, one of only three wins for Brandeis in the history of the Brandeis/Wash U series.
Obviously, I will get to see these two frosh in person over the next two weekends, with Jordan Rettig playing in Waltham, MA this Sunday, and Laney Ming next Sunday. I'll be sure to try to give my observations on these two players.
Back in December, I remember Wydown Blvd making this statement about Wash U frosh Jordan Rettig:

Off the cuff, Rettig would be my frontrunner for UAA rookie of the year. Any other newbies making moves in the UAA? I can't recall any other freshman with these strong of stats.

As I posted in the men's UAA forum, I am also posting here to let you know that the National Westher Service has declared a Winter Storm Warning for the metro Boston, MA area from 2 AM to 3 PM Eastern for Friday, Jan. 21. The Winter Storm Warning was issued at 3:50 PM Eastern today-- it initially wasn't supposed to be this bad.
WCVB TV in Boston is predicting 5 to 9 inches of snow tomorrow, while WHDH TV Ch. 7 is predicting 7 to 10 inches.
The UAA doubleheader will be playing at Brandeis as scheduled Friday evening, as Chicago will be arriving in the Boston area before the snow hits.
As I earlier stated in the men's forum, the snow will impact my travel to the Brandeis campus tomorrow as I may have to travel during the height of the storm to get to campus.
In this age of internet video technology, I had considered staying home tomorrow, but Mr.Ypsi from the Chicago area is urging me to travel, so I may do it if I can do it safely. I have travelled during storms of this intensity before-- both in the Boston area to get to Brandeis for a Friday night UAA doubleheader some years back, as well as in the Rochester, NY snow belt and in the Chicago area with both Brandeis basketball teams some years ago as well. I have even slept overnight in the Philadelphia airport when returning home from Carnegie Mellon some years back as flights to Boston could not arrive in Boston that evening.
WCVB TV in Boston is predicting 5 to 9 inches of snow tomorrow, while WHDH TV Ch. 7 is predicting 7 to 10 inches.
The UAA doubleheader will be playing at Brandeis as scheduled Friday evening, as Chicago will be arriving in the Boston area before the snow hits.

As I posted in the men's UAA forum, I am also posting here to let you know that the National Westher Service has declared a Winter Storm Warning for the metro Boston, MA area from 2 AM to 3 PM Eastern for Friday, Jan. 21. The Winter Storm Warning was issued at 3:50 PM Eastern today-- it initially wasn't supposed to be this bad.

Hello.
I just wanted to report that I left home around 5:30 AM Eastern this morning. The ride on the commuter rail wasn't bad. I got to the Brandeis campus around 8 AM Eastern, and I'm riding out the storm now.

Rochester probably would have won last Sunday-- thereby giving Rochester coach Jim Scheible his first victory at the Wash U Field House--had Laney Ming not fouled out in the final minute of regulation.
Maybe. And, maybe Washington University would have won in regulation had Kristin Anda, or whoever it was, not been called with one of the more ridiculous fouls I have seen this year.
Laney Ming is impressive and at 5-2 she gives up ten inches on Rettig. It seems a little early to compare, but the statistics are relatively even through the season, and Washington University had the stronger non-conference slate. I am sure you follow this much more closely than I do as I only watch Washington University play.

Only watched some of WashU/NYU matchup. The tides really have turned as this used to be one of the most challenging weekends for any team facing NYU and Brandeis on the road. While Sunday UAA games are always interesting in the UAA (teams getting off to slow starts, travel schedules, recovery Friday night injuries), I would be very surprised if WashU or Chicago was challenged tomorrow.
Now, Case v Rochester becomes the game to watch. Can Case continue their underdog fight or do the yellowjackets hold down the fort? I pick Rochester in this one, but I think it'll be close.

Well, I'm back home from Sunday's doubleheader at Brandeis-- a.k.a. the Wash U Boston Chapter Party. ;)
(Thanks to the Wash U travelling party and the Wash U Alumni Association- 70% of the small Auerbach Arena crowd consisted of Wash U supporters today, according to my guess. I know that students have to study on Sundays-- but I wished more Brandeis students showed up today. I did get a nice memento of the day-- so despite the blowouts, and the box scores are what they are, I had an OK time chatting with everyone today-- I got to see Wash U athletic director John Schael, and former Wash U player Jaimie McFarlin made the trip up from New York to attend the game today. I wasn't able to see Art and Marge McWilliams today, however-- I wonder if they went on the New York/Boston trip this time around-- I know that they have come to Brandeis in the past.)
I got to see Wash U's #34 Jordan Rettig in person today-- however, Wash U was already up 23-3 by the time she entered the ball game.
Rettig did not show too much of her hand today, she only played for 10 minutes off the bench-- made 2 of 3 layups and missed her only jump shot attempt. Rettig only got 4 pts and 2 rebounds today, but she wins this weekend's battle of Rettig v Ming for UAA top rookie honors by default due to her performance against NYU on Friday. Rochester's Laney Ming had a somewhat anemic game on Friday against Carnegie Mellon, and did not play today against Case-- I wonder if that is because she got injured over the weekend. I hope that I will get to see Laney Ming in person next Sunday.
I am convinced that Jordan Rettig is a good shooter, but that is all that I have to conclude from this weekend's action.
Other quick thoughts--
NYU did give Chicago a challenge today.
Case did battle back from 23 down at Rochester, but the deficit was too big for the Spartans to overcome.
Emory finally had a decisive victory over the Tartans after getting swept by CMU last year due to match up problems between the two teams.
Chicago is alone in front at 5-0 in the UAA after this weekend's action, and has a 1 game lead over Wash U and Case. Rochester is 2 games back.

UAA Power Ranking:
1. Chicago
2. WashU
3. Rochester
4. Case Western
5. NYU
6. Emory
7. Brandeis
8. Carnegie Melon
Definitely not the parity that I thought had a chance to reveal itself in the UAA. NYU and Brandeis have gotten hammered in recent losses. Case has a reasonable shot at pulling some upsets. Emory comes off a good nonconference run, but cant play enough defense to pull off wins in conference play.

Rochester goes down again tonight against New York. They played a couple tough teams lately (Wash U, Chicago) and have hit a little slide. We will see if they will rebound to finish the season and make the NCAAs. I would expect them to get a Pool C bid unless the wheels fall completely off.

Game recap from last night's NYU women's basketball victory over #12 Rochester:
http://www.gonyuathletics.com/news/2011/1/28/WBB_0128112451.aspx (http://www.gonyuathletics.com/news/2011/1/28/WBB_0128112451.aspx)
The recap has comments from NYU coach Stefano Trompeo on the game, and also has a picture of NYU's #20 Tana Bertino, who scored a career high 18 pts last night.
Rochester's Melissa Alwardt also scored a career high 30 pts in the losing effort.
(At least the photo on the NYU game recap is that of an NYU player from the current team, as opposed to the file photo of the NYU v. Brandeis game from February 28, 2009 which D3Hoops.com put on the front page to commemorate last night's NYU victory.-- not that I enjoy a good photo of former NYU player Jessica McEntee at her best.)
NYU shot 35 of 39 from the charity stripe in the win. The 35 FT's made in a single game were the fourth most in NYU program history.
Rochester's rookie point guard Laney Ming was out for the second consecutive game-- she probably got injured after the game vs. Carnegie Mellon.

Regarding the Brandeis performance from Friday's game vs Emory--
(1) I was relieved to finally see the Brandeis women score more than 70 in a contest. Prior to Friday, Brandeis had only broken the 70 pt mark twice this season-- vs Emmanuel and Lasell.
(2) I was glad to see Brandeis's Morgan Kendrew get a career high 26 points, and Brandeis's Amber Strodthoff getting her third double-double of the season (7th for her career.)
(3) After getting outrebounded in the previous 4 UAA contests, and only outrebounding NYU by 1 rebound, Brandeis was finally able to significantly dominate the boards in a UAA game for the first time this season.
(4) Brandeis was able to shoot over 40% for the game-- Brandeis is 5-0 this season when they shoot over 40% on the game.
I'm looking forward to today's game vs Rochester, and I hope that it will be an exciting contest....

My recap of the Rochester v Brandeis game--
(1) The Brandeis defense held Rochester's Melissa Alwardt scoreless in the first half-- Alwardt went 0-4 from 3 pt land in that half. However, in the second half, Alwardt went 4-9 from the field, 2-5 from 3 pt land and went a perfect 12-12 from the charity stripe to end up with 22 points scored in that half.
(2) Brandeis's Mia DePalo played the best offensive game of her career today-- she went 8-14 from the field and 5 of 7 from 3 pt land to score a career high 21 pts. 0-2 from the charity stripe, but Mia DePalo can work on that aspect of her game for the second half of the conference season.
(3) Rochester's Jodie Luther had a double-double of 15 pts and 10 rebounds.
(4) Although Brandeis technically won the battle on the offensive glass by 2 rebounds, the Judges could not get offensive rebounds at the crucial moments of the game.
(5) Rochester went 25-33 from the charity stripe for the game, while Brandeis could only make 5-11 from the free throw line.
(6) Rochester point guard Laney Ming is anticipated to be back for next week's rematches vs Brandeis and NYU after missing her third game due to an injury that she sustained in practice after the CMU game.

UAA Women's teams in regional rankings
Chicago-- #4 Central
Wash U-- #5 Central
Rochester-- #2 East
So far, the prospects look good for the UAA to send up to 3 women's teams to the NCAAs-- in addition to the automatic bid, 2 Pool C's look to be coming to the UAA women's basketball teams barring any collapses in the next seven games from any one of these three regionally ranked teams.
The next big weekend for these 3 regionally ranked teams looks to be the weekend of Feb. 11-13 when Chicago and Wash U go to Emory and Rochester. This weekend, Wash U and Chicago play at Case and Carnegie Mellon-- so far, Case is 0-3 vs Wash U, Chicago, and Rochester-- the Spartans will try to pull off some upsets this weekend at Horsburgh Gym. Rochester hosts NYU and Brandeis this weekend to start a 4 game UAA home stand, while Wash U and Chicago start a 4 game UAA road trip.
Going into this week, here is the current situation, as I see it:
(1) Although the Yellowjackets are currently ranked at #2 in the East, Rochester needs to pick up wins in this upcoming 4 game homestand if Rochester is still to be considered in the Pool C picture at the end of the season. Ideally, Rochester should do no worse than 3-1 over these next 4 games, and it will be a plus if UR can sweep all 4 of these games.
Rochester is 0-3 vs regionally ranked opposition this week, with all 3 of those losses coming on the road-- @ Medaille (#1 East), @ Chicago, and @ Wash U. Assuming that Rochester can sweep this weekend against NYU and Brandeis, the upcoming weekend vs Wash U and Chicago at the Palestra will prove a lot as to Rochester's Pool C chances.
(2) Chicago is the UAA leader with a 1 game lead over Wash U going into the final stretch of the season-- Chicago has a 2-1 record vs reg. ranked opposition, with wins over Wash U and Rochester, and a loss to Illinois Wesleyan (#1 Central). As long as Chicago stays in the UAA title hunt, their chances for an NCAA bid look good. Chicago plays at Rochester on Feb. 11, and then goes to Wash U for the final game of the UAA calendar on Feb. 26 as their upcoming games vs reg. ranked opposition.
(3) Wash U is 1 game back of Chicago right now and needs to stay within striking distance if the Bears are to go to the NCAAs. Wash U has a 1-2 mark vs regionally ranked opposition this week (loss vs Illinois Wesleyan (#1 in Central), loss @ Chicago, win vs Rochester. Wash U has the test on Feb. 13 @ Rochester, and then hosts Chicago on the final game day of the UAA calendar as their upcoming games vs regionally ranked opposition.
Chicago-- #4 Central
Wash U-- #5 Central
Rochester-- #2 East

Halftime scores from Friday, Feb. 4 in the UAA--
1.) Wash U 39, Carnegie Mellon 22
2.) Chicago 30, Case 19
3.) Rochester 35, NYU 19
4.) Emory 30, Brandeis 29
Some short tidbits-- I am listening to JC DeLass's call of Rochester hosting NYU, and also watching some of the Chicago v Case game. I am following live stats for all 4 of the games.
Laney Ming of Rochester is out for the fourth straight game due to injury, and NYU's Tana Bertino is not playing today due to illness.
Although Melissa Alwardt of Rochester was held scoreless in the first half, the Yellowjackets managed to make a 21-0 run on NYU midway through the first half before NYU started a counter-rally led by Maggie Ely to cut the Rochester lead to 16 at the break.
Chicago has essentially led Case throughout the half, while Brandeis led most of the first half down in Atlanta before Emory took the lead in the final seconds of the half.

UAA athletes have to contend with the toughest travel schedule in D3, as well as some of the toughest academics. I think we should take a moment to congratulate those who have succeeded in both of these venues.

Only two notable things I saw from the WashU/CMU game (only watched the first half). Cusworth finally shot well from the field -- she always plays excellent defense, but her shooting % was pretty low. WashU wasn't stopping the dribble drive too well early, but obviously that wasn't too big of an issue.
Won't watch too much (if any) of Sunday's games, but very excited for next week.

Watching the live stats, it looks like Case is giving Wash U a game in the first half. Wash U only up by 2, 21-19, with 2:46 remaining in the first half. Wash U never had a lead bigger than 5 pts so far, while Case has had a lead of 3 pts early on.
Rochester 37, Brandeis 24 at the half.
NYU leading Emory, 31-26, with 1:30 remaining in the first half.
Chicago leading CMU by 11, 29-18 with 2:00 remaining in the first half.

NYU 38, Emory 31
Wash U 32, Case 19-- Wash U pulled away late in the first half.
Chicago 31, Carnegie Mellon 18-- according to the scoreboard on the CMU video stream-- CMU live stats seem to have Vaccarella at 4 pts, and Chicago up 31-19, but the scoreboard on the video stream has Vaccarella of CMU with 3 pts.
(Note: Scoreboard has now corrected it-- Live stats correct: Chicago 31, CMU 19 at the half.)

Congratulations to Case's Erin Hollinger, who scored her 1,000th career point in last Sunday's game against Wash U.
Case's recap of the game has already been posted to D3Hoops.com, but to summarize, Hollinger became the 10th player in Case women's basketball history to score 1,000 pts when she hit a fast-break jumper with 12:58 remaining in Sunday's contest vs Wash U at Horsburgh Gym.

Nancy Fahey immediately called a time out after that play (no doubt for reasons related to her own team), which gave the PA announcer a chance to inform the crowd of Erin's achievement. She received a good ovation from the fans and got a lot of congratulations at the bench. It was a nice moment, and a fortuitous time out. And it was practically the only highlight for Erin, who had been suffering through a good defensive effort by the Bears aimed at shutting her down. She ended up with 11 points and 6 boards on the afternoon.

Note to Pat Coleman. I'm sorry Rene didn't do anything for D3 schools in the DC area when you were there, but he is about the only one who cares about them here in Saint Louis. I have no clue as to why the change of heart, but we're happy to have him. Perhaps just different area dynamics and media markets.

7express--
I will make a detailed UAA update after Sunday's games are played, but I can tell you that Rochester will not fall out of the top 6 in the East Region rankings even if they lose to Wash U today. Insinuating that Rochester's Pool C chances would be gone infers that Rochester would no longer be listed in the East regional rankings, which will certainly not be the case in the situation of the Yellowjackets-- at least, I would find that hard to believe.
Certainly, Rochester would be out of the UAA title hunt for the automatic bid with a loss to Wash U today-- however, you were asking about Rochester's at-large Pool C chances.
Should Rochester lose to Wash U today, the best in-region record that Rochester can end up with would be 17-6 (.739 in-region pct.-- assuming that Rochester wins out @Case, @CMU, and @Emory.). Rochester came into the week with a .555 SOS through games of Feb. 6, and that number will be higher after this weekend's games vs Chicago and Wash U, even though Rochester's in-region record would be 14-6 (.700) with a loss to Wash U.
A Rochester loss to Wash U today would mean that Rochester would be 0-5 in-region against regionally ranked opponents. (.000) That would certainly give me cause for concern about Rochester's Pool C chances, but the East Region as a whole is not very strong, so Rochester could still make it to the national table for discussion.
The UAA would still get at least 2 teams in to the NCAAs (Chicago and Wash U) in this scenario.

Rochester gets the win 71-61. The Bears fall two games down to Chicago, for the moment, having dug a much deeper hole than in the last matchup between these two teams. The Bears lost Kathryn Berger, their leading scorer, who fouled out at the four minute mark. Alex Hoover played for quite a while with four fouls.
The live stats have Kirsti Yess playing for the first time this season. Just as with the previous game, I think maybe something is off at the table.
I was able to watch the video for much of the first half before closing the browser by mistake. Unfortunately, I could not get the feed back.

Note: Chicago is the leader for the UAA automatic bid-- Chicago has a 2 game lead over Wash U with 3 games left to play.
Rochester-- #2 in East in Week 2 regional rankings
1.) In-region record is 15-5 (.750)-- Best in-region mark that Rochester can reach is 18-5 (.783)
2.) Rochester's in-region SOS is .555 through games of Feb. 6-- awaiting Wednesday's update for the new SOS.
3.) Rochester is 1-4 in-region vs regionally ranked opponents (Win vs Wash U, Losses vs Chicago (twice), Wash U, Medaille (#1 East).
4.) Rochester has no more regionally ranked opponents remaining on schedule-- Remaining games are @ Carnegie Mellon, @ Case, and @ Emory.
Wash U-- #6 in Central in Week 2 regional rankings
1.) Wash U's in-region record is 15-3 (.833)-- Best in-region mark that Wash U can reach is 18-3 (.857)
2.) Wash U's in-region SOS is .523 through games of 2/6-- awaiting Wednesday's update for new SOS.

The team I had ranked behind Wash U (Wheaton ILL) also lost this week, but I don't think the SOS for Wisconsin Lutheran has enough to jump into #6 spot, at least based on my rankings.
As posted on the top 25 discussion looks like Wisconsin Lutheran had enough to jump into the regional rankings...

Tournament resumes through games of February 13 for the UAA teams:
Chicago is UAA leader for Pool A at #4 in Central-- 2 game lead over Wash U.
Rochester-- #1 in East-- Pool C candidate
In-region record of 15-5 (.750), SOS of .575 (OWP is .595, OOWP is .534). In-region mark of 2-4 (.333) vs regionally ranked teams (Win vs Ithaca, (currently #4 in East), Win vs Wash U (once ranked/always ranked in Central-- UAA), Loss vs Wash U (once ranked/always ranked in Central-- UAA), 2 losses vs Chicago (#4 in Central-- UAA), loss vs Medaille (#2 in East).
Wash U-- Once ranked, always ranked in Central.
In-region record of 15-3 (.833), SOS of .535 (OWP is .530, OOWP is .545) In-region mark of 1-3 (.250) vs regionally ranked opponents (Win vs Rochester-- #1 in East-- UAA), Loss to Illinois Wesleyan (#1 in Central), Loss to Chicago (#4 in Central-- UAA).
The situation of Wash U is starting to remind me of the 2008-2009 Chicago women's basketball team, which had a stellar resume-- well deserving of a Pool C bid in my opinion, but because of their position in the regional rankings, never got to the national table to be considered because of upsets in conference tournaments-- involving the Central Region teams in particular-- I believe that St. Norbert was at #6 in the Central, ranked ahead of Chicago in the regional rankings at the time (Chicago was not in the Central rankings), but the Green Knights lost their conference tournament and did not get a Pool C, thereby preventing Chicago from getting to the national table for Pool C discussion.
The only way for Wash U to prevent this situation from happening again is to win out their remaining 3 UAA games at home and hope that the results in the CCIW, WIAC, and Northern Athletics Conference tournaments play out to form. Should Illinois Wesleyan, Wisconsin Lutheran, and all three regionally ranked WIAC teams need Pool C bids to get in, Wash U may not be able to get to the national table for Pool C consideration.
However, should Wash U get to the national table for discussion, I believe that their tournament resume will be strong enough to get the Bears into the NCAAs via Pool C. For that to happen, Wash U must beat NYU, Brandeis, and Chicago. The Bears are essentially in single-elimination tournament mode right now.

Remember... there is more then just SOS to discuss. WL % in region and other factors... so it isn't cut and dry - though I can understand if Wash U might be frustrated. That being said,keep winning and beat Chicago, things change quite a bit.

Wash U's lack of a current Regional Ranking makes me nervous. Who would have thought that four losses to four ranked teams could equal a team being left out? Who were Chicago's losses to when they didn't get in but should have?

Chicago had a non-conference loss to Carroll earlier in that 2008-09 season which doomed the Maroons from getting in. The loss to Carroll justified St. Norbert being ranked ahead of Chicago in the regional rankings due to the fact that St. Norbert defeated Carroll in conference play, thus giving the Green Knights the advantage over the Maroons on better in-region records vs common opponents. The Maroons went 8-6 in the UAA that year for a 4th place finish in the UAA standings. 7 of Chicago's 8 losses were to regionally ranked opposition.- Illinois Wesleyan, and the 4 UAA teams that made it to the NCAAs. Chicago defeated NCAA tournament teams Brandeis and Rochester in league play.
Just a reminder that in the 2008-09 season, The Massey ratings had ranked the UAA as the toughest conference in DIII Women's hoop. All 4 teams from the UAA that made it to the NCAAs hosted first and second round games in the NCAAs and advanced to the Sweet 16, Brandeis made it to the Elite Eight (out of a 5th place 7-7 finish in the UAA) before falling to Amherst, and Wash U made it to the national title game before faling to George Fox.
For a flavor of the conversation from the selection process in the 2008-09 season and how it affected the UAA, see my discussion in Reply #1102 and Reply #1108 in talking about Chicago. See also the posts from bearsfan-- Reply # 1103 and Reply #1106. They are still up in this forum.
I apologize that I am not able to put up the exact quotes from these replies, but the cites are there for your reference-- I feel that a complete read of these replies will give people a sense of what it was like back then.

A UAA History lesson--
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the game where NYU's Dari Magyar hit the 3 pointer at the buzzer at NYU's Coles Center to give the Violets a 65-64 victory over Wash U, handing Wash U their 2nd loss of the season. Wash U had their then NCAA-record 81 game winning streak snapped just a few weeks before with a loss at Fontbonne. The NYU victory caused a tie in the UAA standings which eventually led to Wash U and NYU being declared UAA Co-Champions, and NYU winning the automatic bid via coin flip. To this date, it is the only time in UAA history that a UAA automatic bid in either men's or women's hoop was decided via the coin toss.
The Bears went on to win their fourth straight national championship.
Back in that day, the NCAA DIII Women's Basketball Tournament was a 50 team field, with only 7 teams getting Pool C bids. Automatic bids had just been implemented the year before, in the 1999-2000 season.
Here is a feature on the 2000-2001 NYU Women's Basketball Team courtesy of an article in the Village Voice that was written by Alisa Solomon. It was written on January 30, 2001-- just about a week before Magyar's "Miracle in Manhattan" shot:

Congratulations to the Chicago Maroons on their clinching of the UAA Women's Basketball title and the automatic bid to the NCAAs.
Regardless of what happens next weekend, I hope that Chicago will make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
I will also wish the same of any other UAA women's basketball team that makes it in via Pool C.

The Wash U Student Life student newspaper came out with their Feb. 21, 2011 edition.
The article on the Wash U women's basketball team today has comments from Wash U senior captain Alex Hoover and Wash U coach Nancy Fahey on the weekend that just concluded and on their upcoming match with Chicago. (http://www.studlife.com/sports/womens-basketball/2011/02/21/bears-breeze-through-weekend-on-home-court)
The article was written by Wash U Student Life executive editor Josh Coleman.
About the intentional foul call in the second half on Brandeis's Samantha Anderson-- when doing the PBP on the game, jaybird44 thought that the referee did not get the call right. Regardless, the intentional foul call did not affect the outcome of the game, but it does serve to me as an indicator that a visiting team in the UAA should not expect to get a break from the referees. I thought of that call as throwing "salt on a wound"-- symbolic of a down year for my team. With that said, I'm moving on-- Brandeis's season will end Saturday at NYU.

I have never had a problem critiquing the officials. I know not everyone agrees, but the officials get paid (and get paid relatively well) so they should be open to criticism.
Having said that, I will say that quality of the officiating has been quite strong in the UAA this season. At least in the games that I have seen. This comment is not in regards to the Brandeis intentional foul though. Unfortunately, I did not get to stay for that game.

I truly did not believe that was an intentional foul by Samantha Anderson. She was trying to gather a rebound and didn't have an additional intent to clear out space with her elbows at the expense of anyone else who happens to be in the way.
It's a tough call to make...officials have to determine what contact comes from the natural flow of the game, vs. the contact that comes from a player intending to put an extra "effort" into a play or situation to gain an unfair advantage. I don't think Anderson put in that extra effort or intent.

Quote from: jaybird44 on February 21, 2011, 01:05:47 PMDoes anyone know the official rule on the elbow? I have heard that the intentional foul was part of a change in the rules this year that have said that all elbow thrown fouls are intentional regardless of intent and whether contact is made and that is why the officials made the call after conferring. I do not know the official rule in the book and am guessing someone who posts here probably will. That being said, if that is the rule then the officiating crew should likely have called the same think on Wash U a couple plays later when Coach Simon was saying that the Wash U player did the same action. Both players had their elbows up at head level and rotated around to clear space.

WashU's Kathryn Berger with another AOW accolade. Definitely UAA MVP in my book. It has been a while since one of the top teams in the UAA had a player of the year come from their squad (McEntee, Chapin, etc). Still looking forward to Saturday although I expect WashU to win as they need the victory to clinch a NCAA spot IMHO amongst other reasons.

Well, Kathryn Berger of Wash U and Taylor Simpson of Chicago would certainly be the top two vote getters for UAA Player of the Year.
A Wash U victory over Chicago on Saturday would certainly seal the deal for Berger to be UAA Player of the Year, in my opinion. Your mileage may vary, however-- I would not be surprised if Taylor Simpson won it.
Who gets UAA Rookie of the Year? Initially, Laney Ming of Rochester was the early favorite, but she has missed too many UAA games due to injury to win it.
Carnegie Mellon got the last two UAA Rookie of the Year awards (Jacki Cortese and Brit Phillips, respectively), but I don't think that CMU's Jacquie Shaw will make it 3 in a row. (Could be wrong, though, maybe the UAA coaches want to give CMU some awards for their UAA participation....)
I know that Jordan Rettig of Wash U had good non-conference numbers, but I don't believe that her UAA stats in league play make her the favorite for Rookie of the Year honors.
Kelly Loughney of NYU probably is the top rebounder among the rookie class in the UAA, but her scoring figures aren't tops in the UAA, although she has gotten some double-doubles late.
My personal vote would go to Hannah Lilly of Emory, with Savannah Morgan of Emory a close second. I credit these two freshmen for taking the Eagles above a predicted last place finish in UAA play this season.
For Coaching Staff of the Year, I will give it to Chicago for now, although the Wash U coaching staff could get a share of the honors with a victory on Saturday.
I'll be interested in seeing who the UAA coaches pick for those honors after UAA play ends on Saturday...

Yeah, Simpson definitely is in the hunt with a big weight on the last UAA matchup coming up. Her 15/10 production is pretty fantastic. Over the past few years we had seen WashU really spread out the scoring and this year has strayed from that with Berger's offensive output. I think her points average is an interesting mix of amazing scoring games mixed with many WashU victories in their typical "everyone scores" mentality.
We have seen Co-MVP/POY before... I could see it happening again this year even if WashU wins the final matchup on Saturday.
COY - Chicago due to the UAA Champ/COY tradition

In these comments, Coach Thomaskutty talks about Emory's wins over the weekend at Case and Carnegie Mellon, previews Saturday's contest vs Rochester, and talks about Emory senior Courtney von Stein's contributions to the Eagles program.
The video is about 2 min long, and can be found at:

I sent a detailed PM to Wydown Blvd earlier today in response to her post, but here is the short answer:
(1) All 3 ranked WIAC teams have higher SOS numbers than Chicago or Wash U at present.
(2) UW-Whitewater defeated Illinois Wesleyan back in November-- both Chicago and Wash U lost to Illinois Wesleyan this season. (In region results vs common opponents is one factor in the regional rankings.)
(3) UW-La Crosse defeated Chicago back in November as well. (In region head-to-head is another factor in the regional rankings as well.)
All 3 of those factors have to be taken into account in the regional rankings.
This does not mean that the top UAA teams could not beat the top WIAC teams now-- the regional rankings can only take into account what happened back then, and they have to measure the in-region entirety of the seasons of all 6 of the Central's regionally ranked teams.
Also, about the NJAC tournament, a William Paterson victory on Saturday will put everything to rest in that regard-- but even if Rutgers-Newark wins on Saturday, I don't think that a Pool C will be taken away from the Central Region first... (South, East, West, Atlantic, or Great Lakes regions have more reason to worry about that than Central, IMO...)

Erin, who carries a 3.96 average in Macromolecular Science and Engineering, also has carried the Spartans to a 12-12 record with a league-leading 16.9 scoring average. This is Erin's third Academic All-America honor, as she was named to the second team in basketball both this season and last, and was also honored as a track and field athlete last year. Erin is also a nominee for the Josten's award, honoring basketball and classroom excellence as well as community involvement. Congratulations, Erin!!!

Thanks for posting. From the article: "We call it 'Wash Week,' and we've been practicing really hard," third-year guard Joann Torres said. "The preparation is certainly different. The focus is very intense compared to other weeks."
"I don't think it matters if we won the conference or not," third-year forward Morgan Herrick added. "Wash U is our biggest rival. Regardless of our ranking, we always get hyped up for Wash Week. There's just excitement in the air. It's a tradition of UChicago basketball."
I like to trash talk here so I will add that it is quite the lopsided tradition, with Washington University holding a 41-9 advantage. A Chicago win on Saturday would be the very first, if I remember correctly, on the Danforth Campus.

That 41-9 advantage was at the start of the 2010-11 season. Chicago got their 10th win over Wash U in the history of the series earlier this season at the Ratner Center, so it is now a 41-10 Wash U advantage.
You are probably right about a Chicago victory on Saturday being the first at the Wash U Field House on the Danforth Campus. Wasn't the only time that Chicago won at Wash U a pre-UAA game from the early 1980's when Wash U was coached by Gaye Kinnett-- in other words, before Nancy Fahey took the helm at Wash U? (The UAA was not founded until 1986-87, when Johns Hopkins joined the other UAA schools (other than Brandeis, that is), in creating the league.) My first year as a Brandeis student (the 1987-88 season) was also the first year that the UAA started playing league games in basketball-- it was also Brandeis's first year in the UAA.
I only count 4 times in the entire history of the UAA that Wash U lost a UAA home game-- in 1990-91 to Carnegie Mellon (Gerri Seidl), in 2003-04 to NYU (Janice Quinn), in 2004-05 to Brandeis (Carol Simon), and in 2005-06 to NYU (Janice Quinn). The Wash U book shows 5 losses at home in UAA play, but I can't see when that 5th loss happened. If you know, please tell me....
(Correction: The record actually states "losses at home to UAA opponents"-- taking note of the fact that Johns Hopkins was a charter member of the UAA and served as a member until the 2000-2001 season-- which leads to the question as to whether the McWilliams Classic loss to JHU in 2003-04 season was a loss to a UAA opponent? I think that Wash U counts that McWilliams Classic game as a UAA opponent game; I respectfully disagree, taking note of JHU's exit from the UAA a few years earlier....-- to further explain)..
Wash U did lose to Johns Hopkins once in UAA play, in 1994-95, but that JHU victory was an overtime victory in Baltimore-- Johns Hopkins had already left the UAA a few years before when the JHU Blue Jays, under coach Nancy Funk, got their win at the Wash U Field House in the McWilliams Classic (that JHU victory at Wash U happened in the 2003-04 season, but Johns Hopkins was no longer a member of the UAA, having left at the end of the 2000-2001 season.) Therefore, I don't count the JHU win at the McWilliams Classic as a UAA conference home defeat for Wash U-- I do respect Johns Hopkins's charter UAA status, so that may explain the "5th loss to a UAA opponent at Wash U Field House." on the record books.
(Note: Post edited to correct name of Wash U coach who lost to Chicago in the early 1980's...)

The pre-season UAA coaches' poll (I assume one coach failed to turn in his/her ballot) (n) = first place votes:
1. Washington (5)
2. Rochester (2)
3. Chicago
4. Brandeis
5. NYU
6. Carnegie Mellon

They got NYU right at 5. They also had the top three - but not the order. And no first place votes for the 14-0 conference champions. You can argue that Case was the biggest surprise and Brandeis the biggest disappointment.

Chicago defeats Wash 61-51 to go 14-0 in the UAA. Two questions remain - does Wash U get a Pool C bid with a 20-5 record? Does Chicago host?
I have updated the Pool C forum with the tournament resumes of 20 Pool C candidates so far. There will be some more to add later tonight and tomorrow, but there have been very few upsets on the women's side in the conference tournaments. The NJAC and Skyline Conference tournaments played to form today, and the Northeast Region played to form today as well-- Babson is expected to defeat Smith tomorrow in NESCAC final, so there should not be any upsets coming out of the Northeast Region.
Update-- With Illinois Wesleyan winning the CCIW tournament tonight, the Central Region played to form-- no regionally unranked teams won an AQ in Central by virtue of knocking out all regionally ranked teams playing in that conference tourney.
Wisconsin Lutheran won the NATHCon AQ, so they will not need to go get a Pool C.
See Reply #400 , Reply #402 , and Reply #404 in the Pool C forum in "Women's Basketball" for further information that may answer your questions.
There have been only 2 conference tourney upsets so far involving unranked teams getting the AQ over the ranked team(s) in their conference-- those 2 involved regionally ranked teams with relatively weak tourney resumes:
1.) #5 in South Maryville (TN) lost in Great South semifinal-- unranked Piedmont took Great South AQ.
2.) #3 in East Medaille lost in AMCC final to regionally unranked in Great Lakes La Roche.
There will be 6 more games to follow on Sunday-- but I expect most of those games to play to form as well.
With 20 Pool C bids to hand out nationally, I think that Wash U is still in good shape to get a Pool C bid-- since outside of the UAA, all of the Pool C candidates will have lost this week in conference tourneys. Rochester is the only Pool C candidate this week to go undefeated.
I don't know if Chicago will host-- the top 2 hosting sites in region would be Illinois Wesleyan and a WIAC team-- other factors involve if a WIAC school has both teams in NCAAs--- do men get preference in first/second round to host? If so, Chicago may be in good shape-- although the loss by Chicago to UW-La Crosse earlier this season may have an influence in the hosting decision. We will have to see how the bracket turns out on Monday.

Well, Kathryn Berger of Wash U and Taylor Simpson of Chicago would certainly be the top two vote getters for UAA Player of the Year.
A Wash U victory over Chicago on Saturday would certainly seal the deal for Berger to be UAA Player of the Year, in my opinion. Your mileage may vary, however-- I would not be surprised if Taylor Simpson won it.
Who gets UAA Rookie of the Year? Initially, Laney Ming of Rochester was the early favorite, but she has missed too many UAA games due to injury to win it.
Carnegie Mellon got the last two UAA Rookie of the Year awards (Jacki Cortese and Brit Phillips, respectively), but I don't think that CMU's Jacquie Shaw will make it 3 in a row. (Could be wrong, though, maybe the UAA coaches want to give CMU some awards for their UAA participation....)
I know that Jordan Rettig of Wash U had good non-conference numbers, but I don't believe that her UAA stats in league play make her the favorite for Rookie of the Year honors.
Kelly Loughney of NYU probably is the top rebounder among the rookie class in the UAA, but her scoring figures aren't tops in the UAA, although she has gotten some double-doubles late.
My personal vote would go to Hannah Lilly of Emory, with Savannah Morgan of Emory a close second. I credit these two freshmen for taking the Eagles above a predicted last place finish in UAA play this season.
For Coaching Staff of the Year, I will give it to Chicago for now, although the Wash U coaching staff could get a share of the honors with a victory on Saturday.
I'll be interested in seeing who the UAA coaches pick for those honors after UAA play ends on Saturday...
you are right on about POY either Simpson or Berger- a no brainer. But as far as Rookie of the Year there is no contest. The freshman from NYU, Kelly Loughney is #2 in Conference rebounding, #2 in FG percentage, #1 in blocked shots and is #2 in Conference double-doubles only behind probable POY Simpson...and she's scoring 9.2 ppg. Nice that the girls at Emory have the team moving forward but this one is not even close.

Well, Kathryn Berger of Wash U and Taylor Simpson of Chicago would certainly be the top two vote getters for UAA Player of the Year.
A Wash U victory over Chicago on Saturday would certainly seal the deal for Berger to be UAA Player of the Year, in my opinion. Your mileage may vary, however-- I would not be surprised if Taylor Simpson won it.
Who gets UAA Rookie of the Year? Initially, Laney Ming of Rochester was the early favorite, but she has missed too many UAA games due to injury to win it.
Carnegie Mellon got the last two UAA Rookie of the Year awards (Jacki Cortese and Brit Phillips, respectively), but I don't think that CMU's Jacquie Shaw will make it 3 in a row. (Could be wrong, though, maybe the UAA coaches want to give CMU some awards for their UAA participation....)
I know that Jordan Rettig of Wash U had good non-conference numbers, but I don't believe that her UAA stats in league play make her the favorite for Rookie of the Year honors.
Kelly Loughney of NYU probably is the top rebounder among the rookie class in the UAA, but her scoring figures aren't tops in the UAA, although she has gotten some double-doubles late.
My personal vote would go to Hannah Lilly of Emory, with Savannah Morgan of Emory a close second. I credit these two freshmen for taking the Eagles above a predicted last place finish in UAA play this season.
For Coaching Staff of the Year, I will give it to Chicago for now, although the Wash U coaching staff could get a share of the honors with a victory on Saturday.

Welcome to the boards, KVD. You make a good case for Loughney, and I would not be surprised to see her win that award.
(Note:-- a little ribbing here from me, but I was glad to see Brandeis win on NYU Senior Day and eliminate the Violets from ECAC consideration. I needed some fun after a hard season. ;D If only Brandeis had won at NYU on NYU Senior Day in 2004-05 for the UAA Automatic qualifier, though.... Oh well, better late than never. ;D)
Taylor Simpson wrapped up sole possession of UAA Player of Year honors with her performance yesterday in leading Chicago to the road victory at Wash U.
Chicago staff is definitely the UAA Coaching Staff of the Year-- the performance yesterday locked that up if winning the UAA title was not enough.

I was at the game yesterday and your Judges team did very well to withstand a furious comeback attempt by NYU.

Brandeis nailed a 3 on the next possession and when Loughney fouled out trying to get the ball back, it was over.

First the Bracket of Death for the wustl men, now the Pod of Death for the wustl women... ;)
I actually think that UChicago and WashU got put in similar situations --- playing two teams with excellent records who play in very weak conferences. Then facing a top-ten opponent (probably on their home floor). Hope faces a tougher opponent than Calvin in the first round (imho), but for WashU and UChicago, the set-up for both of those teams is pretty similar. Calvin and Hope are the same caliber of team, both playing host to the pod.
I think WashU is probably glad to have played Hope earlier in the season to have a sense of how they match up and build on that experience this year with this squad which is dramatically different from last year's team. If they get off to a slow start (in either game this weekend), I think it may be tough for them to climb out of any hole.
Chicago's UAA wins on the road will hopefully be a forecast of their success against Calvin -- Beating UR in a high high pressure situation to set them up to secure the UAA and then obviously the big win against WashU which snapped the long home game winning streak of the Bears. I think they will be fine against Hanover, but @Calvin is an extremely hard game as we saw with Hope's season and two losses.

Wash up 69-55 with less than a minute to go.
UAA very impressive early.

Final - Wash 71 Denison 55
Let's go Rochester!!!
It would be great for the UAA to beat Hope and Calvin on their own floors.
The Maroons and Bears dominated their foes. Hanover lost by two at Franklin for their only loss. Denison was undefeated. It must have been disconcerting for them to be so outclassed. Rochester was ranked number 1 in the East. Chicago and Wash were ranked 5 and 6 in the Central - which means Rochester would not even be ranked in the Central. If you listen to Hoopsville, you can see why the knowledgeable observers expect the National Champion to come out of the Central/Great Lakes regions.

After thinking it was a down year for the UAA ;)
Incredible clutch scoring by Dani Hoover after an excellent performance by Alex Hoover in the first half. Both centers (Rettig and Sayers) for WashU were injured for a good chunk of the game, so the depth and grit of WashU was tested and they still prevailed.
Way to go UAA!

The Maroons led from start to finish - by as much as 13. Calvin began to chip away and got to within two with 4 minutes left. But Chicago maintained control.
I am going to have to cheer for Thomas More. The chances of beating Wash U three times in one season - I don't like those odds.
Rochester lost 74-69 to Muhlenberg.

I have no info on Chicago, but Wash-U's Kristin Anda played center after Sayers and Rettig both suffered knee injuries. This may be the moment where Anda takes a big step forward in her development as a future starter...the Bears will need another double-digit night from her in their next matchup vs. Thomas More.
Also, Monika Monson...a little-used senior post player that averages well over 20 points per 40 minutes of action may have a spotlight shine on her next weekend, to spell Anda inside.
The Hoover girls...what more can be said about their poise and coolness under fire?
Dani with 15 second-half points, including the last 8 for Washington...after Alex roared out of the gate with 11 points in the first few minutes of the game, and ends up with 16.
I thought that the Bears could pull off the win, if they played their usual great defense, made some key shots, and outrebounded Hope. Turnovers nearly sank them, but the Hoovers and Anda would not let the Bears lose tonight.
Congrats to Wash-U!

Agree with you jaybird... Can't believe I skipped Anda's name in my brief recap. I was way too excited. From walk-on freshman to major minutes a sophomore. Incredible development already. She is quite an athlete and gets better every time she steps on the floor.
Was pretty disappointed that there was no video for this one... Would have loved to see Cusworth and Anda play the post against Snikkers and hold her to such a low shooting percentage. Amazed she shot so many three balls (even before desperation time late) instead of pounding inside against the two power forwards. Her stat line (23-9) was definitely respectable as always, just surprised with the number of three balls. Wish I could have seen it :-\
Brianne Monahan may see time next week against Thomas More. I don't remember too much from the WashU v Thomas More matchup from last year other than the Thomas More center getting hurt early. While Berger hit a big three late against Hope, I expect her to show up bigger next week. I can't imagine back to back cold games from her.
Another week for the UAA!

I agree with you regarding Bri...I suspect that she and Monson both will get substantial minutes if Sayers and Rettig are hampered by their injuries next weekend.
I would have liked a video feed, too...I just followed the Live Stats while making dinner, and I wondered if Berger had an off-night, or if she was tagged by the Hope coaching staff as the person that would not beat them under any circumstances. Not a bad ploy, considering the Hoovers were not offensively aggressive when the Bears faced Hope early in the season. But, that sister act is clearly not afraid to carry a lot of water for the team if Berger is shut down.
I also wanted to see what was making Snikkers take so many 3-point shots. Was she not wanting to mix it up inside? Was she being double-teamed and pestered by smaller guards? I would think, as a senior, that Snikkers would gleefully want to take on a sophomore (Sayers) and freshman (Rettig)...compared to what she faced in the title game last season (Jaimie McFarlin). Snikkers could have elicited a lot of fouls, and made hay at the free throw line...and the rest of the team could have benefited by getting bonus free throws early in each half. That, IMHO, would have produced more points that Snikkers' 3-point shots, and perhaps could have given Hope a win.
Just my two cents, which was trading at 1.8 cents when the market of public opinion closed on Friday...
I would have liked a video feed, too...I just followed the Live Stats while making dinner, and I wondered if Berger had an off-night, or if she was tagged by the Hope coaching staff as the person that would not beat them under any circumstances. Not a bad ploy, considering the Hoovers were not offensively aggressive when the Bears faced Hope early in the season. But, that sister act is clearly not afraid to carry a lot of water for the team if Berger is shut down.
I also wanted to see what was making Snikkers take so many 3-point shots. Was she not wanting to mix it up inside? Was she being double-teamed and pestered by smaller guards? I would think, as a senior, that Snikkers would gleefully want to take on a sophomore (Sayers) and freshman (Rettig)...compared to what she faced in the title game last season (Jaimie McFarlin). Snikkers could have elicited a lot of fouls, and made hay at the free throw line...and the rest of the team could have benefited by getting bonus free throws early in each half. That, IMHO, would have produced more points that Snikkers' 3-point shots, and perhaps could have given Hope a win.

Just did a quick look back at last years stats against Thomas More. Both Berger and Hoover were extremely impressive. Berger with 25pts 11rebs and Hoov with 16pts 9assists and 0 turnovers. If they come close to duplicating those numbers, it'll be great for the Bears.
I really don't know anything about Greensboro College. They don't look very deep... (Only 6 players had legitimate minutes against Juniata) but Danielle Duncan, their leading scorer at 22ppg, put up 28 pts and 10 boards against Juniata in their buzzerbeater-style victory. They have a pretty undersized roster, esp relative to the size we usually see in the UAA. Only two 6' post players on the roster (one being a freshman F/G). They still out-rebound opponents by an average of 10 boards.
The mix of styles will prove interesting in the sweet sixteen matchup. Even without using the d3hoops rankings as a guide, Chicago is probably the favorite in that one. imho. I see them dominating the glass and capitalizing on the nineteen turnovers that GC averages. Also think Simpson and/or Herrick will have a field day against an undersized roster perhaps putting Greensboro's best player in foul trouble. Chicago is used to solid post play and will keep GC's leading scorer under control (if they pursue that strategy). Or have decent enough backcourt defense to lock down on GC's other options.
Very excited for the upcoming weekend and the possible UAA matchup.

I believe there is a very good chance that UAA will face each other again in the Elite 8. I'd like to see Greensboro there, but we are talking USASouth vs UAA. I've watched Chicago in a few online games. They will be a tough team to beat. Massey has a score of 70-64 on a neutral court in favor of Chicago. I really think Greensboro's chances are better if they play like they did against St. Vincent. Again, I think Greensboro's speed and athleticism will be key to their chances. What can we expect out of Chicago?
Wash U. I really like your chances against Thomas More. I think Thomas More is overrated and think the defending national champs will take that game.

Just as an fyi. Along with the entire team being extremely physical, UChicago's guards are quick and athletic as well. Chicago has the weapons to chug through a slugfest or score in a high octane offense. I read on another board that they even pressed in the opening round game. I think the key to Chicago really revolves around their posts.... both Herrick and Simpson play hard every possession. They are tall enough to control the paint, but athletic enough to never really be a liability. And both can score facing up or back to the basket. Their guard play is simply consistent.
Some other UAA posters have good insight on Chicago too.

Chicago is very well-balanced, and can adapt well to different styles of play from its opponents. The Maroons' Achilles heel may be turnovers...up until the final game of the regular season against Wash-U, they averaged 18 turnovers per game.
In that season finale, Wash-U forced 9 turnovers in the first half, but only got 8 points out of them. For the game, Chicago had 15 turnovers, but Wash-U only got 15 points out of them.
That trend continued last weekend...Chicago had 22 turnovers vs. Hanover, but Hanover only got 11 points from them. Granted, that game was pretty much over at halftime. But, Calvin forced 17 turnovers from Chicago, but only got 19 points from them.
You're not going to reasonably get 2 or 3 points from every opponent turnover, but a team should probably shoot for 1.5 points from opponent turnovers. If Wash-U could have achieved that, it would have had 7 extra points, making that game much closer at the end. If Calvin gets 1.5 points per Chicago turnover, it would have had 6 extra points, and perhaps escapes with a victory.
Therein lies the rub, as the old saying goes: you have got to get maximum points from turnovers against a team like Chicago. Easier said than done, because Chicago doesn't give up freebies...it gets back quickly on defense to stop a lot of easy lay-ups, and then its half-court defense gets to impose its will, anchored by Simpson and Morgan Herrick.
A tough and frustrating day/night occurs as a result, at least for the last 20 Chicago opponents.

Agree with you jaybird...
As a sidenote. It's also why some coaches chart deadball turnovers separate than live ball turnovers. Some coaches put extra emphasis on the difference between an errant pass (and then steal) that leads to a fast break layup and a turnover that is a traveling violation, three-second call, or offensive foul. Bob Knight talks about it often. Good teams with more dead ball turnovers than live ball TOs will be more likely to give up less pts per turnover. Right now, the Notre Dame men really play with that mentality (even if it is just a bi-product of their deliberate offense).

I want to make note of this St. Vincent (I know not at the level of Chicago) but was one of the top teams in the country of taking care of the ball and turnover margin. They only average about 14 per game Greensboro forced 23 in the game.
Greensboro may be undersized but again they are athletic, one of the smaller players wilborn averages 5.3 rebounds per game. She is also the record holder for steals at Greensboro. As physical as a team they are 5 times players have fouled out. I agree with the depth, think a few more players could play off the bench, but aren't quite as athletic and quick. If Chicago does turn the ball over a bit Greensboro does a great job of forcing them (686).
I know the lack of depth will play a role but both teams foul above 16 times game. Greensboro has shot 701 FT's! on the year, that is 113 more than Chicago. Chicago has 7 players that go about 10+ min per game Greensboro has 6. I would be worried about the depth of Chicago as well.
With all that said as fan, I want Greensboro to win, but I do think the chances are more than in favor of Chicago in this game :-\

IMHO, I don't think UChicago is very deep this year either. The talent is very top heavy regardless of the way the minutes are spread on the bench. It is the first game of the weekend, so stamina won't be too big of a factor. However, the way the game is called might. If the refs call the game tight, Chicago could get into foul trouble and their depth tested.

The Brandeis Justice has just come out with their first edition since the February winter break.
In the March 8, 2011 edition, Sports editor Josh Asen wrote a brief article on Brandeis women's basketball's season finale at NYU. The Judges got their 3rd ever victory at the Jerome S. Coles Sports and Recreation Center on the NYU campus that day, as well as their first ever victory at Coles Center on NYU Senior Day.
The article contains comments by Brandeis senior co-captain Amber Strodthoff on the game:

(My comment on the season: I would like Brandeis to make a dramatic improvement on their free throw shooting for next season. In UAA play, Brandeis only shot 60% from the charity stripe for the season-- that is 10 to 15 percentage points below their average FT% of between 70 to 75% FT in league play.)

Five Wash-U players were in double figures: Dani Hoover 14; Kristen Anda, Kathryn Berger, and Claire Schaperkoetter had 11 each, and Alex Hoover had 10. Berger added 13 rebounds to the cause as well.

According to the bearsports write-up (http://bearsports.wustl.edu/Sports/Content/Pages/wbk3-11-11.aspx), Claire Schaeperkoetter "scorch[ed] Thomas More for eight points in a span of just 59 seconds."
Quite a game. Thomas More hung in for quite a bit, but WashU's defense and rebounding was incredible. The Hoover sisters continue to be clutch. Anda also has stepped up to fill in with huge minutes and at this pace, by the time she is a senior, she's going to be on a different level.
WashU definitely has had the toughest road... and tomorrow doesn't get any easier. Wish the Chicago and WashU were split a bit in the bracket so they wouldn't meet now, but in the Final Four.
Chicago torched Greensboro. They couldn't handle the posts inside, the dribble drives, fast break opportunities of Taylor Simpson, and had communication problems that allowed shooters to be wide open. Chicago and WashU both able to flex that UAA muscle and continue to show the conference's strength strength.
Congrats to both Chicago and WashU!

The game with Chicago is kind of how expected it to play out. UAA is tough. I watched Chicago a few times on video feeds. Greensboro would have had to bring their A+ game to win. The one positive thing is Duncan for Greensboro, I think she should be a lock for 1st team all american. Dropped 28 points against one of the top teams in the country, plus undersized compared to Chicago players.
I will take this big game experience in for next season when 4 of the 5 starters should be returning for next season. Greensboro really needs to look to add some top notch outside shooters, at least two for next season or get some more consistency out there. If you are going to shoot the 3 you are going to have to make it :-\
My hat is off to Washington U. good job handling Thomas More.

Wash-U leads Chicago at halftime, 33-22. Wash-U was down 11-2 early after shooting just 1-for-13 from the floor. However, Claire Schaperkoetter stopped that run with a basket, and the Bears proceeded to make 11 of their last 17 shots of the half. Kathryn Berger and Brianne Monahan have 10 points each, with all of Bri's points coming from the bench. Already a career high, by far, for her.
Meghan Herrick has 9 points to lead Chicago, who shot just 26% from the floor in the first half and 3-12 from 3-point range. Bryanne Halfhill is 1-10 from the floor, and Morgan Herrick is 1-7.
When Monahan, Jenny Lloyd, and Schaperkoetter combine for 15 first-half points, en route to an 11-point lead, that is a great omen for Wash-U.
Still a half to play, so I can't get too excited just yet...

imho, WashU could get even more respect than they currently garner. (Not saying they should have been picked to get out of the "pod/bracket of death" although I did pick them as into the final four on my personal submission to the bracket contest) What they have done as a program, not only in the UAA, but on a national stage, is really is on a different level. This year being Coach Fahey's best coaching performance in beating 4 top 10 teams. The program continues to make history with 4 more Final Fours in 5 years. Ten total as a program. Its mind blowing.

What they have done as a program, not only in the UAA, but on a national stage, is really is on a different level. This year being Coach Fahey's best coaching performance in beating 4 top 10 teams. The program continues to make history with 4 more Final Fours in 5 years. Ten total as a program. Its mind blowing.
I am waiting for the day that ESPN shows up to film a 30 for 30.

Great run for the Bears through the tournament! It was exciting basketball, hard fought battles on away courts, and Coach Fahey was well deserving of both of her Coach of the Year awards (WBCA and D3Hoops). She really tapped into this team's potential and got the best out of them. This senior group was just as potent as last years. Looking forward to seeing them reload.

Yes, you guys are REALLY giving this Titan fan a complex! 2008-09, we beat you at YOUR place, go 30-0, and you knock us out of the tourney. 2010-11, we beat you on a neutral court, then you knock us out at OUR home.

Maybe you're right; maybe we're just learning! :D
Prior to Mia Smith, IWU was never a national power. In the mid 90s we made the tourney twice, and WashU knocked us out in the first round both years. Early this decade, we won one game, then WashU knocked us out. IWU as a national contender has only happened the last four years - I suspect Mia Smith has a job for as long as she wants it! :D
Whether or not she can get us over the hump, I have no idea. But I will NOT bet against her! ;D
BTW, note that we've been winning ALL the regular season games lately - someday we'll figure out the post-season games! ;)

There is always a line between honesty and being rude. I like her honesty about her own team, anyone would appreciate that, but she lacks the humility/modesty of a "Coach Fahey." Let the basketball speak for itself. (Reminds me of the Jets and Patriots ;))

In my opinion, this team did more with less than any other that I have seen since I started following the team.
And, finally, thanks from one of your biggest fans.

III, and were honored today (http://www.wbca.org/blog/index.cfm/2011/7/11/Top-Honors-Announced-in-2011-WBCA-Academic-Top-25-Team-Honor-Roll/) by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) as the top honoree in the D3 Academic Top 25. The Spartans, led by second team Academic All-American Erin Hollinger, compiled a 3.609 average while playing one of the most difficult schedules (academically speaking) and attending one of the most challenging universities in the nation. Congratulations to the Spartans!
A side note: shout out to the D2 top honoree, Fort Lewis College, who had the highest GPA in the five divisions (D1, D2, D3, NAIA, Juco) and compiled a 28-2 record. :o

Wanted to add my congratulations to Coach Fahey. At this last Final Four, I got a chance to congratulate her on "Coach of the Year." She was humble and appreciated the comments from an Amherst fan. Very complimentary of the kids on the "other' team. Obviously, one is not that successful without doing her homework on the other team, and this year was no exception. She knew the kids on our team and had great things to say about them.
Congrats again.

Hello All,
I am a new poster, and am delighted to find a great board for discussing DIII women's basketball generally, and UAA basketball in particular.
I have a question for everyone. I am sure it is addressed elsewhere, but I could not find an answer. Here it is: How does recruiting work for UAA schools like Wash U, IW and UC? Where do the coaches go to find players that fit their unique profiles? Regular AAU tournaments? Special camps for players with strong academics?
I have a daughter who may be a good fit at one of these schools, but I really don't know what to do to see if it is possible/makes sense.
Thanks,
Bad Knees

How does recruiting work for UAA schools like Wash U, IW and UC?
**Recruiting in the UAA, which does not include IW (I assume that's Illinois Wesleyan and they are in the CCIW), is an art and not a science. For the most part, the caliber of player is one that is considering D2 scholarships or mid to lower level D1. Either that, or they are very talented, but a little bit too short, to slow, or lacking the athleticism for non-D3 play. To generalize, the UAA competes for recruits against each other, the NESCAC, the Ivy's, the Patriot League, and frequently D1 schools where the player is interested in walking on. The type of student must also fit the admissions criteria for the same schools.
Where do the coaches go to find players that fit their unique profiles?
**Coaches do get lists of players from recruiting services. They also do have solid roots with many feeder schools and AAU programs. Lastly and most importantly, the players find the schools and reach out to them.
Regular AAU tournaments?
**Coaches attend AAU tournaments. Usually larger regional ones where they are more likely to know the teams if its a UAA recruiting hotbed (Washington, D.C. area, the Chicago area, Kansas City region, and Westchester NY come to mind as major UAA recruiting ground)
Special camps for players with strong academics?
**Each program has its own elite summer camp. You should be able to find that online at each school's website or by calling the athletic program.
**The integral part of D3 recruiting is the pursuit by the student-athlete. Send in tapes (one highlight film, one game film), an athletic resume (highlighting GPA and test scores), and fill out the recruiting form on the websites of the program of interest. Best of luck to your daughter.

Dear Wydown,
Thanks for the info. Maybe you can help with one more set of questions. What effect does being a recruited women's bball player have on the likelihood of being accepted to a school such a UC or Wash U? In the NESCAC, there is a "tip" system, where coaches can "tip" a limited number of potential players each year and that player will get admitted even if they academically are in the bottom half of the applicants. Also, a NESCAC coach can create a "protect" list, which means: "if the player is among the vast mass of qualified applicants, please let her in because I see her as a player on my team." And the admissions department generally will honor that request.
Is there anything like this system for women's bball at UC, Wash U, and the other DIII programs with similarly outstanding academics?
Thanks,
Bad Knees

Without getting into details of protect v. tip lists and specific schools in the UAA, in general terms, if you are qualified to get into the UAA schools, then you get into the UAA schools that you should be able to get into. Again, speaking generally, not tons of leeway in the higher ranking and more selective of the UAA schools.

Interesting. So the NESCAC has tips, but the UAA does not. Very impressive then for Wash U and UC and others to be so competitive in DIII women's bball. I have no evidentiary basis to doubt you, but my "real world" antennae still is telling me that a recruited athlete gets some sort of admissions benefit at Wash U and UC. It's easy to justify. These schools usually say they are looking for outstanding achievement in all areas - music, math, sports, etc. A great student who happens to have an outstanding 3-pt shot is as much a contributor to the college scene as a great student who is an award-winning cellist, correct?

Watched the WashU v Lake Forest game last night. Solid inside outside play contributing to WashU's 15pt victory. They seemed very comfortable playing against Lake Forest's 2-3 zone, but the Forrestor's would have been overmatched if they played man-to-man. WashU didn't run as much as they usually do. Guard play was solid. Very few turnovers (13) and great defense. Tons of freshman getting playing time. This young team will get tested next weekend (Hendrix, then IWU or Depauw), but they will get exponentially better as the season goes on. Coach Fahey goes for win #600 next weekend.

The November 22, 2011 edition of the Brandeis Justice is out, and there are some comments from Brandeis Judges players Shannon Hassan and Erika Higginbottom on their 2-2 week to open the season:
http://www.thejustice.org/sports/women-s-basketball-team-breaks-even-in-its-first-week-1.2713275
I just got the media guide yearbook on this year's Brandeis Judges women's basketball team and there is some info on the 3 new players coming in which was not reported in the yearbook-- which went to press in mid-October and came out from the press last week:
(1) Erika Higginbottom is a junior, and she transferred from DII Stonehill College, where she played the previous 2 seasons. To my knowledge, she is the first transfer from a DI or DII school to join the Brandeis Judges in Brandeis women's basketball history.
(2) Mikaela Garvin is only seeing some limited action right now. Although she did play her high school basketball for Hope High School in Providence, RI, she is actually a graduate of Providence's Times2 Academy (pronounced Times Squared), a charter school in the city. The charter school does not have a basketball team, so Garvin was allowed to play for the high school closest to her home-as per Rhode Island state rules. At the end of her junior year in high school, she made her own web site to market herself. I found out on her site that Ms. Garvin loves playing the drums, and that she has taken some basketball instruction from Providence College legend and former NBA player Ernie Digregorio, (more known in New England as "Ernie D") who set the NBA rookie record for most assists in a game in the 1970's, a record now shared with Nate McMillan. Ms. Garvin is planning to major in business at Brandeis University. In 2010, Brandeis instituted an undergraduate business major, in which some of our basketball players on both the men's and women's teams are pursuing studies.
(3) Hannah Cain is from Gloucester, MA-- the hometown of our late D3Hoops.com bracketologist. She is a point guard, and is the 4th player in Gloucester High School history to score 1,000 pts. She accomplished this feat in just a little over 3 years. She sat out most of her junior season with injuries, but recovered to lead her high school team to 1 game shy of playing at TD Garden in Boston.
The third player to score 1,000 points for Gloucester, MA High School was Tommia Davis, who played for the Emmanuel Saints team that defeated Brandeis in the 2nd round of the NCAA DIII tournament in the 2006-07 season, so I am very glad to have Hannah Cain at Brandeis. Ms. Cain possesses qualities in a point guard that former Brandeis players Amanda Demartino and Jessica Chapin shared. I believe that Cain will make Brandeis a better basketball team.

Ms. Garvin is planning to major in business at Brandeis University. In 2010, Brandeis instituted an undergraduate business major, in which some of our basketball players on both the men's and women's teams are pursuing studies.
(3) Hannah Cain is from Gloucester, MA-- the hometown of our late D3Hoops.com bracketologist. She is a point guard, and is the 4th player in Gloucester High School history to score 1,000 pts. She accomplished this feat in just a little over 3 years. She sat out most of her junior season with injuries, but recovered to lead her high school team to 1 game shy of playing at TD Garden in Boston.
The third player to score 1,000 points for Gloucester, MA High School was Tommia Davis, who played for the Emmanuel Saints team that defeated Brandeis in the 2nd round of the NCAA DIII tournament in the 2006-07 season, so I am very glad to have Hannah Cain at Brandeis. Ms. Cain possesses qualities in a point guard that former Brandeis players Amanda Demartino and Jessica Chapin shared. I believe that Cain will make Brandeis a better basketball team.

Let me be the first on this board to say congrats to Wash U coach Nancy Fahey on her 600th win, which she just accomplished with Wash U's 62-52 victory over Hendrix today. Wash U will play DePauw for the Thanksgiving Classic title tomorrow. DePauw defeated Illinois Wesleyan in the first game.

Congratulations to Coach Fahey on the 600th win, though I imagine the excitement over the win yesterday was made humble with the loss today for the fiercely competitive coach as DePauw takes the annual classic with a 69-57 win over Washington University.
This is my first game of the season so while I am optimistic and agree with the previous suggestion that this team will get exponentially better as the season progresses, this team has a lot of work to do. On defense, the Bears seemed one step behind for much of the game. The offense was uncharacteristically one-dimensional, with no mid-range game to speak of and 20 percent shooting from three-point range. Way too many turnovers on both sides of the court.
I miss you Alex Hoover.

I don't really comment much on non-conference action (probably because the UAA does a good job at beating non-conference teams within their respective regions).
Chicago is getting it done with the bullseye on their backs. Huge matchup with IWU coming up (although IWU isn't at full strength yet). That games looks like the last major hurdle before conference.
WUSTL is playing freshman at key spots and is pretty young, so I think similar to years past, they won't hit their prime until late in the season. Pretty interesting stat... They don't have a single scorer averaging double figures... that might be the WashU way of getting it done this year, scoring by committee.
NYU loss caught my eye... Usually their non-conference sched is one of the weaker ones in the UAA. They started out with 4 straight wins, but still can't get over the hump to beat Mount Saint Mary College (albeit a consistent tourney team). That was their only test in their non-con. Last year they finished below .500 for the first time in forever; we'll see how the rest of the non-con goes.
We have seen this on the men's side as well... the league is turning extremely top heavy over the past few (3?) years. On the women's side, UR, WashU, Brandeis, NYU, UChi were all tourney teams.. Now we are looking at three at best UChi, UR, WashU. Why the changing tide?

Just an irrelevant sidenote to last night's Wheaton/Chicago game: In the recap on the U Chicago website it says that the Maroons now hold a 14-13 advantage in the all-time series against Wheaton, while according to the Thunder's media guide Wheaton holds a 17-12 advantage dating to 1960-61.
A very good game last night in Wheaton. It was a see-saw battle until the last 4 minutes when Chicago turned up its intensity a bit more and took the Thunder away from the things that had made them successful all night. Other than the extremely poor officiating, it was an entertaining game to watch. Wheaton is still without 1st team all-American Laura Karsten (on Wheaton's soccer team), so this was a good measuring stick for them. Chicago looks top-notch once again, although Wheaton's aggressive defense did have them a bit discombobulated offensively at times.

Titans played UC tough today at Ratner, but came up just short, 80-77. That's a great performance vs. the #2 ranked Maroons on their home court. Olivia Lett had a career day, a career high 30, with 10 rebounds. I think the Titans are going to be very tough in CCIW play, after this initiation by fire, mostly on the road. I think Mia and her team need a little home cooking. Congrats to Olivia Lett on one heckava game.
I'm off to see the Gorlocks vs. Titans, at The Shirk. Titan men need a win after two pretty tough, even dismal outings on the road in cheeseheadland.

Dani Hoover's 3's were all clutch... The 4pt play in particular was a dagger. She's got that senior mentality necessary to finish games. I definitely think she can be the consistent scorer down the stretch... and her high energy style of play also invigorates the team.
Wisconsin Lutheran hit some tough tough shots to keep it close, but WashU had timely defensive stops. The freshmen that get time are impressive. With Monahan out, it's good to see Gilkey step up. The Anda, Sayers, Gilkey, Rettig rotation is solid at the post spots. Looks like Sayers and Rettig are healthy, so they will definitely improve and peak as the season progresses. It'll be nice to get Monahan back because she can score from basically anywhere on the court... best shooting PF on the squad. Work in progress, but WUSTL looked good.

Well... anyone else excited for the UChicago v WashU game on Saturday?!?
The matchup doesn't have the school rivalry as a Hope/Calvin or Amherst/Williams, but in terms of quality of basketball over the past 3 or 4 years, this has replaced NYU/WashU as showcasing the best of the conference.
I think the deciding factor will be the young post play of WashU up against the All-American talent of Simpson et al. There is tons of athleticism in the WashU backcourt, but the Bears' rebounding (or lack thereof) could be an issue. WashU has faced adversity via injuries so far this season, which will pay off in the long-haul as their young players quickly turn into veterans, but for a big matchup against Chicago, it might hurt them.
The winner of this game basically becomes the favorite to win the conference, and the game could possibly be a major factor in hosting for the NCAA tournament when the time comes for match-up Monday.

This will be a good indicator of where WashU and UChicago stand, although both teams have faced very good non-conference competition (as usual), so we have certainly been able to see that they are still in the upper upper echelon of D3 (hence part of the reason for their high rankings). As we have seen with these last WashU squads, any of Coach Fahey's rosters can be Final Four caliber teams, and as these UChicago teams have gained more experience, I expect them to be able to go deeper into the tournament each year.
I am just not sure WashU's depth (or lack there of due to injuries) will be enough to overcome the long and sometimes grueling conference schedule. On the other hand, UChicago is really playing with the target on their backs this year with much higher expectations. Do I see them going undefeated in conference play again? I think this game will certainly be the measuring stick for how beatable they may or may not be during conference.
While UR is a tough place to play, history is not on UR's side, which is why in my eyes they would not be the favorite until they at least beat UChicago or WashU. While WashU/UChicago on the first weekend gives one of the contenders an early loss, the toughest two weekends for the others on the conference slate must be the WashU/UChicago weekends. I just don't see someone beating both of those teams in a single weekend.

My prediction for the UAA this year:
Wash U beats Chicago & Rochester at home, loses to both on the road
Rochester splits with Wash U, sweeps Chicago
Chicago gets swept by Rochester, splits with Wash U, and loses to either Brandeis/NYU, and possibly someone else. As someone said Chicago has a target on their back this; for teams like Emory, CWR & Carnegie Mellon, those 2 games against Chicago will be their championship.

Usually I don't make too many predictions, especially without seeing every team play. But here is my stab at conference play:
I can't see UR winning conference, which is what would happen in your scenario... I have also only seen them play once so far this year, so maybe you have better expectations. I don't see Chicago losing to NYU... they are still trying to find their way in the post-Quinn era, and I don't know where their scoring will come from. If anything, I think UChicago, WashU, and UR will beat up on each other. I think Emory will be the trap game this year, especially because its travel partner is UR. CWRU and CMU still looks like the easiest weekend.

UChicago wins by 3(?). Here is my "non-basketball-heavy" analysis: What a game?!? Definitely the best D3 has to offer. Big time plays on both sides. Great defense and big shot after big shot. Both of these teams will go deep into the tournament (well at least as deep as they could go before meeting each other). WashU played extremely well without their two starting post players, and I think lived up to their ranking.

Well, the UAA season is underway. At the present time, my home computer is not working, and I don't know when someone will be able to fix it, so I have been following d3hoops.com on library computers and at other computers away from home. Since Brandeis is away at NYU today, I followed the line scores through Twitter on my cell phone. Tough one tonight to see Brandeis go down to NYU in overtime, but at least the Judges were able to get over that 50 point hump to be competitive-- in the games against Babson, Tufts, Emmanuel and Colby, Brandeis couldn't even break 50, which really worried me.
Chicago solidified their status in the UAA as the team in the conference to take down today, Case is destroying CMU at the moment, but in my position at Brandeis, I wouldn't consider Case and CMU as two blowout wins for Brandeis. They may be easy blowout wins for Chicago and Wash U, though.
Emory likes to play the high-octane offense, so there could be teams that could fall into the trap of giving up 75 to 80 points to the Eagles. Emory has to work on defense to stay competitive in the UAA, though-- Rochester scored 76 on them today at WoodPEC.
BTW, Chicago coach Aaron Roussell made history again today. Not only does Coach Roussell join former NYU coach Janice Quinn on the list of the only UAA coaches to beat Wash U at the Wash U Field House more than once in UAA play-- Roussell becomes the first coach in UAA history to win 2 consecutive years in a row at Wash U. It is hard to say at this early stage whether Chicago could go into the NCAAs undefeated, but I wouldn't bet against it at the moment-- Rochester has to make their case. It is hard to see Chicago losing at Ratner this season.

Wouldn't count WashU out yet... playing UChicago to 2points without both starting post players. Combining the return of a senior starter to the lineup with Coach Fahey (and all of those freshman getting tons of experience in the first half of the season), I still see this is being a three horse race, with Chicago as the frontrunner. My gut still telling me Emory is the trap game...

This Brandeis team doesn't look very good, they could end up with a worse conference record then last year.
Granted, losing to Rochester isn't bad, but they looked awful in the 2nd half after playing them tough in the first. Today's game against Emory was embarrassing; losing by 30 while scoring 15 second half points. Emory could be one that trap game for Wash U and Chicago, but losing by 30 on your home floor to them is pitiful.

Brandeis had an early 5-0 lead and seemed to be able to score inside, but it got away from that focus in the middle of the first half. Wash-U then turned the tables for a 10-0 run that turned a 1-point deficit into a 9-point lead late in the first half. The depth of Wash-U's bench may have worn down the Judges: 34-17 edge in points, and the Bears also enjoyed a 27-7 edge in points off of turnovers.

Wydown... I saw the tape of the end of the game... simply not right..... Wash U officials at table or on the bench should have helped the 3 officials on the floor... Wash U should consider that an embarrassment to accept the win.... reminds me of the commercial where the player says, it went off my hand coach, the ball goes to the other team...

Note I've watched the tape several times... the shot from outside clearly misses EVERYTHING, when 23 catches the ball underneath, the red shot clock light has already illuminated the backboard.. in fact the light has gone off BEFORE 23 catches the ball .... 23 flips it up and the ball hits the rim, then the shot clock buzzer goes off, at least a full second after the light....45 rebounds and puts it up at the final buzzer..... the problem is the shot clock buzzer went off WAY LATE....

That's what happens in D-3 with no replay, you have 3 zebra's making a judgemental call when there's probably not 1 official looking at both the player, the ball, and the clock all at the same time.
Western earlier this year lost a buzzer beater when Jen Mocanu of MSM hit a runner in the lane at the buzzer. It was clearly in her hand with 0:00 on the clock, but since there's no replay capability, and probably not 1 official was looking at the clock AND the ball, they had to make a judgemental call which went in favor of MSM.
With all these games being streamed on the internet, and the advances in modern technology, there's no excuse why there can't be replay throughtout all 3 NCAA divisions as well as NAIA, USCAA & NJCAA whether the game is on a TV station or not. Now I didn't watch the game, and this probably and likely won't happen, but what if NYU ends up finishing 1 game behind the UAA winner, and this game was the reason their 1 back??

The weird thing is, there's an official right on the baseline according to the video. He can see the player and, unless he has bad peripheral vision, should be able to see the light on the backboard. You can also hear the some kind of buzzer when the light flashes red, before the game clock buzzer sounds.

We have to remember we have no idea what was said at the table. But it is the officials' job to get it right. Seems to me from the video that the shot clock horn sounded and the light went off simultaneously. Not sure what else they need. An official should know that there's a 2-second differential considering they were coming out of a dead ball situation with 10 to shoot.

I have been made aware that the call was made strictly by the officials... they never consulted the table, who had the authority to provide input to the call. When they approached the table after talking only amongst themselves, the three officials had reached their decision. No video was available for viewing. Wash U officials at the table were given no opportunity to help....

Unfortunately, at the D3 level, most games actually only have 3 referees except for the playoffs. At regular season games the table referee wears a striped shirt, but is not a sanctioned official. From what I could see of the video, the women in the striped shirt at the table was not consulted, did not offer any information, and the referees did not look like they expected her input.

This is such an obviously and terribly blown call that changes the outcome of the game. Clearly they can't fly NYU back out for a short overtime, but is there anything the NCAA can do to fix the situation (and more importantly, make sure that ref crew never works another game)?

Nope -- this isn't the NCAA's call and once the officials leave the floor, the game is over.
This is in the hands of the UAA. The conference has the ability to not assign those referees. I would hope they don't assign them for UAA games at the very least, if not for any game at Wash U.

Wydown, that call was so bad, I felt compelled to express my feelings.... my mind went to.. ok how wrong does a call have to be to get it corrected... in this case, 1 second after the clock, 2 seconds , 5 seconds? You know I support Wash U hoops... I just didn't think it was right, by a lot....I only didn't know, as I said, that the officials never sought opinion from the clock official.

I happened to run into a D3 official (women's) today at lunch... he maintained that the clock operator does act as a fourth official and is to be consulted at the discretion of the 3 officials on the floor.... as said prior, these 3 officials decided not to consult... this is not meant to squabble with you old school, but just to relate what I was told by someone who would seem to be a knowlegeable source. I am going to ask the same question to anyone at the Fontbonne game who will talk to me tomorrow night... would be interesting if Will Wolper would chime in... not for opinion, but to state what the book says.....

It was a crazy finish! Couple turnovers by WashU on their last two possessions, so they weren't able to get a shot up on either. They might be the youngest team in the UAA -- four freshmen on the floor in crunchtime as of late.
Now the matchup tomorrow gets even bigger. Protecting home court is so important in the UAA -- I think UChi will put out the victory, but should be another barn burner.

Without looking at the record book, they beat WashU at the Woodruff Center the first year that UChicago won the UAA title (2007-2008 season?). They still haven't won at the WUSTL Fieldhouse.
My prediction held up. (below)
Quote from: Wydown Blvd. on January 07, 2012, 11:29:04 AM
Usually I don't make too many predictions, especially without seeing every team play. But here is my stab at conference play:
I can't see UR winning conference, which is what would happen in your scenario... I have also only seen them play once so far this year, so maybe you have better expectations. I don't see Chicago losing to NYU... they are still trying to find their way in the post-Quinn era, and I don't know where their scoring will come from. If anything, I think UChicago, WashU, and UR will beat up on each other. I think Emory will be the trap game this year, especially because its travel partner is UR. CWRU and CMU still looks like the easiest weekend.

Congratulations to Taylor Simpson for winning the 2012 Jostens Trophy (http://athletics.uchicago.edu/news-2011-12/wbk-jostens-030812.htm). Taylor is the fifth UAA winner of the Jostens Trophy since it was inaugurated 15 years ago. On the men's side the winners were Troy Ruths of Wash U in 2008 and Derek Reich of Chicago in 2003. The other UAA women winners were Alia Fischer of Wash U in 2000 and Alicia Moore of Emory in 1998, the year the Jostens Trophy was first awarded. Wash U and Chicago are the only schools to have winners of both genders.
All UAA alumni can take pride in these outstanding young people who represent our schools. Here is a great story on Alicia Moore Krichev, the 1998 winner from Emory. (http://www.emory.edu/EMORY_MAGAZINE/2010/spring/medalumni.html)
Chicago is on quarters and has final exams next week. So no one is blowing off their games to go on spring break. The Maroons have a great group of seniors who not only lead the team, but also show the younger players how to handle the demands of playing a sport at a high level AND deal with an incredibly demanding academic program. I think these lessons are handed down by all athletes, not only at Chicago but at all the UAA schools. We can all bask in the reflected glory of the generations that followed us.

It took looking at the IWU Athletic Calender since the schedule isn't up yet, but the fourth team for the IWU Women's 2012 Tip Off Tournament appears to be Coe College, in Cedar Rapids IA.
I thought the name looked familiar and they have indeed not only played WashU but they played in the Tip Off Tournament in 2005 when the host WashU and IWU stomped them.
They've played much better recently. In 2011, they lost to IWU 74-77 in the Sweet Sixteen. This past tournament they lost 45-51 to St. Thomas in the second round.
YMMV, but I think close losses to Final Four bound teams two years running makes them a fit opponent for the first year in which all of the rotating host teams (WashU, IWU, Depauw) have a national championship.

All three of the rotating hosts (Wash U, Illinois Wesleyan, Depauw) have a national championship and in fact have half of the last six (2007, 2010, 2012). I was rooting for them once they reached the Final Four and the Bears did not.
Chris Mitchell, the WashU sports information director, said it would make a better story if Coe College had a championship (instead of as I said, two quality trips to the tournament in which they had close losses to Final Four bound teams). Given the distances for other champions, the only one's I can think of coming to this tournament would be either Hope (in spite of or because of their past history with all three teams) or Wilmington (Ohio). Millikin is perfectly located to travel to any of the three schools, but is in the Titans conference and plays them two or three times a season already.

Still going to be a great tournament at IWU this weekend, even if Coe doesn't have a national championship. Wash-U is off to a good 2-0 start after winning its McWilliams Classic with a 63-60 win over a good Ohio Northern team that won 21 games last season. Coe is #21 in the pre-season rankings of D3hoops.com, is 1-0, and hosts Elmhurst tomorrow night before embarking on the trip to the Shirk.

Wash-U improves to 9-1 after a 77-57 victory at Webster. Gorloks had a 9-4 lead early in the first half, as Wash-U opened 2 for 10 from the floor. But, the Bears took the lead for the first time with 12:55 to play, and never relinquished the lead from there. Halftime score: Wash-U 45, Webster 28, as the bench outscored the starters 27-18. Webster cut the deficit to 11 three times in the first five minutes of the 2nd half, but could not get any closer.
Melissa Gilkey had a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Jordan Rettig had 6 points/11 rebounds/3 blocks. Three Bears reserves had good performances. Katybeth Biewen had 13 points and 5 rebounds in 18 minutes, Lucy Montgomery had 10 points on 3 treys, and Jordan Thompson had 5 points/6 assists/2 turnovers in 24 minutes. Wash-U dominated the glass to the tune of a 52-41 advantage, including 23-15 on the offensive rebound ledger.
Maggie Zehner led Webster (4-6) with 13 points and 6 rebounds, and Gwen Willliams contributed 12 points and 5 rebounds. Kailann Rickard had 7 points/8 rebounds/4 assists. The Wash-U depth was too much to handle, as the Bears' reserves outscored Webster's 43-14.
Wash-U hosts Southwestern University (Texas) tomorrow afternoon at 2:00. This will be an interesting matchup, as the Pirates (7-3) average 46.1 rebounds/game...but give up 46.7 to their opponents. Jordan Owens (19.2 ppg/7.0 rpg), Chelsea Leeder (15.3 ppg/5.0 rpg/4 apg), and Annie Bourne (8.7 ppg/11.5 rpg) are the top 3 players for Southwestern; while Madison Eschle and Audrey Garcia add offense from the bench (9.3 and 8.7 ppg, respectively).

The WashU loss to Rochester doesn't surprise me. The weakest part of the Bears game this season has been getting the ball into the basket. Listen, strange shots from women on courts throwing balls in the general direction of the basket is no basis for a system of offense, to weakly paraphrase Monty Python.
Otherwise, this is a strong team for their level of experience.

Case Spartans have just defeated Wash U for the first time ever since the UAA was founded in 1987. Case wins at Horsburgh Gym in Cleveland, defeating the Bears today by a score of 72-68. Congrats to coach Jen Reimer and the Spartans on the accomplishment. Prior to today, Wash U had always won vs Case.

Wash-U's women played their best first half of basketball last night that I have seen all season. Bears race out to a 10-0 and never look back, en route to a 49-21 halftime lead and an 85-54 victory at home over Carnegie Mellon.
The shooting woes of the past several games did not materialize last night, as Wash-U shot 46% from the field and 5-14 from the arc. Tartans were held to 26% shooting in the first half and 1-14 from the arc for the game.
Jordan Thompson emerged from a shooting slump to score 16 points on 6-10 shooting, including 3-5 from 3-point land. Alyssa Johanson added 10 points and Melissa Gilkey battled a bloody nose to post 12 points in 18 minutes. 19 players logged minutes, and 15 of them scored points.
Carnegie Mellon will get progressively better in the next 2-3 seasons. Coach Hullah has a sizable core of freshmen that will pay big dividends with more experience.
Now, it will be very interesting to see how Wash-U starts its game Sunday vs. Case, after the Mathers' victory in Cleveland last Sunday...

Brandeis scores the big-time upset over Rochester 62-49. The Judges had a 1-7 record going in to the game but had a big second half to get the win at home.
Emory is alone at the top of the UAA with an 8-1 league record, but that one loss was at home to Washington University who will host Emory on Friday and are only one game behind at 7-2 and tied with Rochester who will also visit the Field House this weekend.
If Emory gets the unlikely win on Friday, they would return home to host Carnegie Mellon, Case Western Reserve and Rochester and would appear to be a lock for the conference title. Washington University could take over the lead for good on Sunday with Rochester also looking to make a statement. Big weekend ahead.

Wins by Washington University over rival Emory and Rochester over Chicago tonight provide for a three-way tie for the conference title. Emory, Washington University, and Rochester have identical 8-2 records with four games left in the season.
Washington University appears to be in the drivers seat with the season sweep over Emory and the three worst teams in the conference left on the schedule, not including Rochester, of course, who will likely need the elusive road wins in St. Louis on Sunday and Atlanta in the conference finale to win the conference title.

Not in the drivers seat anymore either. Rochester and Emory are tied, and if they both sweep Case Western and Carnegie Mellon, will be playing each other for the conference championship. Somebody correct me, but a look through the past standings at the UAA site, leads me to think this is the first time in UAA Women's basketball history that there will be at least one finale game determining the championship and the WashU-Chicago game won't be part of it. I mean other schools as well as WashU have won the championship free and clear without involving the final game but when it's come down to the final game(s) that game has always played a part. Now the action will be in Atlanta.

Respect to Rochester for getting the win last weekend despite having half the team foul out and the season sweep. Washington University falls to NYU again this evening with Brandeis and Chicago left on the calendar.
To answer the other question: Washington University will make the tournament, but an early exit seems likely.
Rochester and Emory remain tied at 10-2 after the victories tonight.

I feared that a loss at Brandeis would have put Wash-U's tournament hopes in dire peril. Late 3s by Maddy Scheppers and Nishi Tavernier saved the Bears' bacon, heading into the final Saturday next week vs. Chicago.
Bears need to get stronger, IMOH. Too many rebounds lost on tie-ups; problems getting the ball powered to the rim or backboard--so instead of FTs, the Bears often settle for in-bounds situations that get turned over; and it has become tough elevating shots over the rim in traffic.

Well, it's been a while since I last posted. Been a tough season for my Judges on the women's side, but the UAA race has still been interesting.
The "unofficial" UAA women's "title game" in Atlanta between Rochester and Emory tomorrow-- a first for those two teams. First time since 1991 that a team other than Wash U, NYU, or Chicago will win the title and the automatic bid. From my experience with men's soccer earlier this season, it is really great to have a plaque delivered from the UAA that says Team Champion on it. BTW, the 1991 champion was Carnegie Mellon.
Let's have a great contest tomorrow afternoon, Eagles and Yellowjackets. To the winner goes the automatic bid, and I hope that the loser will not have their bubble popped, but any team on Pool C is "on the bubble" because of the small number of at-large slots for the tournament. I remember a time when there were only 7 Pool C slots.-- 20 Pool C slots is an improvement, but it is not half the field like in Division I.
Hopefully, Brandeis can break their UAA road game losing streak tomorrow, but it will be tough to win at Coles Center against an NYU team that knocked off Wash U.

I would think that Wash-U and Rochester will get Pool C bids...although two seasons ago, Wash-U also had a 20-5 record and barely got a Pool C ticket.
It appears that there were few upsets that would gobble up available spots in the at-large musical chairs game. Hopefully the items of secondary criteria, namely Wash-U's victory over Ohio Northern and a narrow loss to DePauw, can be used if needed. A win over Emory will help too, but I believe there will be some angst among the Bears until the selections are unveiled.

I think Rochester is safe. Wash U should be in too, but imo, is in worse shape then Rochester is. Luckily, most of the teams predicted to win their conference did (Southern Maine, Babson, DePauw, New Paltz) so not a lot of pool C slots were stolen.

Great to see Kristin Anda pick up a career-high 16 points...I thought she might have a great game, and the generally-young Bears needed Anda's senior leadership. She made two free-throws with :22.9 left for the final 45-40 margin.
Not sure how long Wash-U can stay alive with shooting in the 30% range...I guess as long as the Bears play similar defense, outrebound their opponents, and double-down on 2nd-chance points (20-4 edge tonight), they can get it done.
Wash-U meets Rhodes tomorrow...and Rhodes has a transfer from the U. of Tennessee that seriously considered becoming a Bear, before deciding to stay close to home. That adds a bit of fun to the match-up...

Congratulations to the Lady Bears!

On the Rochester vs Emmanuel game last night--
I remember being at Coles Center in New York in 2001 when Emmanuel defeated NYU, and then being in Danbury CT the following week when Emmanuel lost to Wash U. Back in 2001, I felt that the Emmanuel v Wash U national semifinal was in fact my national title game-- that the winner of that contest would have gone on to win the title. In 2007, I remember when Emmanuel defeated Brandeis at the Jean Yawkey Ctr in Boston in the second round. Although that prevented my Judges from going to the Sweet 16 that year, I did get to see the DePauw vs Calvin Elite Eight game in Boston. Last night's contest once again proved to me why Emmanuel is my favorite non-UAA women's basketball team. I could not have been any prouder of the effort that both Emmanuel and Rochester put on last night. I felt the same conflict last night that I did in 2001 when I cheered Emmanuel on in their game against Wash U back in Danbury, CT.
Tip of my hat to Rochester's Loren Wagner on the first 20+ point game of her college career, and the way that she took over the game in the final 5 minutes. If it wasn't for that effort, Emmanuel would be playing Williams today.

I have a feeling that she will be a pivotal player throughout the tournament...

I've always admired the guts of whichever team joins the IWU/WashU/DePauw tourney. I haven't attempted to check, but I wonder how many times that team has avoided 4th place?
Three times: Illinois College, Kalamazoo, Central (Iowa) College. There's been 14 tournaments, one time there wasn't a 4th team, and 10 times the 4th team has gone 0-2. IWU has gone 0-2 twice and WashU once.

Thanks for posting the tourney trivia. Very interesting.
I was surprised as you regarding the No. 2 ranking, but it looks like the Bears are playing good basketball with a line-up similar to last year. I have not seen a game, and I am not sure of how tough IWU is this season, but the Bears are now 4-0 heading in to the big game this afternoon.

#2 Wash-U won yesterday afternoon 80-47 over Webster, to improve to 10-1 heading into the beginning of UAA play next Saturday.
The Bears enjoyed an 18-point lead late in the first half, but Webster cut the lead down to 13 at halftime. The pesky Gorloks then cut the lead to 9 in the first two minutes of the 2nd half, before Wash-U's Lucy Montgomery lit the pilot light with the first of three treys in the half. From there, the Bears outscored Webster 22-3 to take a commanding lead.
Montgomery and Alyssa Johanson each had 12 points off the bench for the Bears, and Jordan Rettig also had 12. Melissa Gilkey led Wash-U with 16 points. The Bears defense also played well, forcing 29 turnovers and collecting 18 steals.
The UAA slate of games begins Saturday, with Chicago visiting the Wash-U Fieldhouse.

Last night, #2 Wash-U followed their win over Chicago in the first weekend of UAA play with a 73-49 triumph last night over Brandeis at the Fieldhouse. Wash-U is now 12-1 this season.
The Bears had a tough struggle in the first half. After scoring the first 10 points and staking a lead of 15-2 in the first 5 minutes, Wash-U gave up an 11-0 run to Brandeis to bring the Judges within 2 points...and they had a lead over the home team at 22-21 with under 6 minutes to play in the 1st half. The Bears were able to claw their way back in front by halftime, but only by a 31-27 margin.
Brandeis outrebounded Wash-U 22-19 in the 1st half--and Wash-U's only loss came from being outrebounded by its opponent. The Judges outscored Wash-U in the paint 16-4, and the only thing that kept it in the lead was the 7-14 showing from 3-point range. Jordan Thompson had 4 of those treys and had 12 points at the break.
Not sure if Nancy Fahey read her players the riot act at halftime, but the Bears did roar to life...starting the 2nd half on a 25-12 surge to lead 56-39 with 8:15 left in the game. Maddy Scheppers had 10 points in the 2nd half, and Melissa Gilkey and Lucy Montgomery each had 9 points (Lucy had 3 treys off the bench). That surge allowed Wash-U to enjoy a 42-22 scoring edge in the 2nd half...and it outrebounded Brandeis 33-14 in the final 20 minutes.
Scheppers and Thompson each ended the game with 16 points, and Gilkey added 14. Kristin Anda and Gilkey had 9 rebounds, and Thompson and Scheppers had 6 and 5 assists, respectively. Wash-U was 12-25 from 3-point range, outscoring Brandeis 12 treys to 2. Brandeis had only Kasey Dean in double figures with 12 points, as the Judges shot only 34% from the floor.
Wash-U will need two strong halves against NYU, who kept its record perfect after a come-from-behind 89-87 victory at Chicago last night. The Violets were very young last season, but played with big fearless chips on their shoulders. They are seemingly much better with a year of experience under their belts, as they have 4 players who each average double-figures in scoring and between 4.5-7.7 rpg (Megan Dawe, Kaitlyn Read, Riley Wurtz, and Lindsey Oldshue). NYU outrebounds opponents by 15.6 per game, and averages an impressive 13.4 steals per game. Wash-U's Jordan Thompson and Katybeth Biewen will be severely tested at point guard tomorrow afternoon. It could be a closely-contested thriller tomorrow afternoon...

WashU overwhelmed Case Western Reserve 71-37 tonight in Cleveland. The Bears held Case to one basket in the first 9 minutes of the 2nd half, enabling them to move a 14-point halftime lead to 50-19.
Melissa Gilkey had 17 points, Alyssa Johanson 13 off the bench, and Steph Vukotic had 8 points. Coupled with Emory's loss at NYU, WashU now has a one-game lead over those two teams in the UAA. The Bears travel to Carnegie Mellon Sunday.

WashU ends its 4-game, 2-weekend road trip by winning at Emory 69-61 this afternoon in Atlanta.
Melissa Gilkey had a 17-point, 14-rebound double-double to lead the Bears, who are unbeaten in UAA play halfway through the conference schedule. The Bears take a 2-game UAA lead back home, where they will host Rochester and Emory this Friday night and Sunday afternoon.
Wash-U very nearly had a 3-game lead to take home with it. NYU had to scramble to win in overtime against Case-Western, to push its UAA record to 5-2, a couple of games behind the Bears.

WashU had maintained second place in the poll despite a loss, since the loss was by a respectable margin AT what appears to be by far the best d3 team this season. I wonder how many of the undefeated teams will pass them in this week's poll?
Coming into the game, Rochester was 7-11 (1-6 UAA) and on a 5-game losing streak. This was a VERY bad loss!

If Tufts is able to win @ Williams, they'll definitely pass them. Whitman, Hope & Thomas More likely pass them too.

Quite possibly George Fox (one loss) as well. Right now I'd guess 7th next week.

Massey Ratings drops them to 10th with the loss. Seems extreme to me but I don't fully understand the Massey statistical method. Interestingly, Massey would give WashU over a 90% win probability if these two teams played again today. Shows what a big upset it was....

Emory has now lost 5 of 6, they will drop far out of the rankings. WashU is too good to drop much, maybe 8 or 9 I'd guess, but they do seem to play a little up and down.

Nothing like a Wash-U upset loss on Friday to bring out the posters on the UAA thread...LOL
Not sure I understand about how it plays up and down. Only two losses this season, one to the defending champ...then a 13-game winning streak before Friday's loss. Yes, the loss to Rochester was a tough one to take...but conference games feature no secrets. Rochester's men and women have a knack for winning games at Wash-U...and I believe the senior women on Rochester's side decided that they wanted to have something positive to savor in an otherwise disappointing season. So, they were amped to gain an upset win over the #2 team...and Wash-U picked the wrong time to have an absolute clunker of a game. No energy...a couple of players had stomach bugs, maybe some latent jet lag caught up with the Bears. But, they have enough depth on the team to pick up the slack. So, there was no excusing that loss Friday night.
I wasn't too concerned...I wanted to see how the ladies reacted after a couple of nights rest at home, and watch them vs. Emory to see if the lethargy was a trend or a coincidence. Judging from what I saw today, a thorough dismantling of the #20 team in the country, I'm inclined to think that the loss to Rochester may not be overly damaging. Unless, of course, the Bears go to Brandeis and NYU and lose a couple of games in the upcoming weekend. Today the Bears had lots of zip on both ends of the floor. Maddy Scheppers scores 16 of Wash-U's first 17 points, and the defense held Emory to 33% shooting and 29% from 3-point range. End result: Wash-U up 47-31 at halftime.
2nd half more of the same. Bears outrebound Emory 34-5 in the 2nd half for an overall advantage of 60-19. Emory shot just 23% in the 2nd half, and Savannah Morgan was held to 7 points--half of her scoring average. Wash-U wins 91-55, led by Scheppers' 19 points, Melissa Gilkey's 15 points and 15 rebounds, and Jordan Rettig added 11 rebounds. Granted, without Hannah Lilly, Emory was a shell of what it could have been with her in the lineup. But, Wash-U took advantage as it should to dominate a weakened opponent, and gain some confidence for a couple of tough road stops at Boston and New York next weekend.
I think Wash-U will drop to 7th or 8th in the poll, but the concern rests more on the soon-to-be-released regional rankings. Today's win over ranked Emory may slow the descent in those rankings, or stop it before it starts.

Yes, unexpected losses by top teams always generate discussion regardless of who they are. It's kind of what these boards are about; nothing really to do with WashU in particular.
My "up and down" comment was admittedly based on limited data, but this weekend was sure a case in point. Loss at home to 8-12 Rochester, then hammer a good Emory team. I also saw them earlier in the season when they pounded a very solid Wisconsin Lutheran team only to struggle mightily the next day against a very mediocre Hiram team. Regardless, I think WashU is a national title contender, as evidenced by the battle it gave to a very consistent DePauw on DePauw's own court.

A good night for WashU in Boston. A tough 61-51 road win over Brandeis, coupled with NYU's home loss to Chicago. Bears now 2 games ahead of both teams with 4 to play.
Brandeis led 21-20 at halftime, after shooting 30% to WashU's 23%. Hence, the description of "defensive struggle". Bears were also just 4-12 from the free throw line. They historically have poor shooting performances at Brandeis, and last night's 1st half was no exception.
The shooting improved to 43% for WashU in the second, but it won the lottery at the FT line. The difficulty of blanketing the Bears' Melissa Gilkey resulted in two Brandeis players fouling out; and that led to 31 WashU FTs in the 2nd half. The Bears made 25 of them, compared to Brandeis shooting 3-6.
Maddy Scheppers had a double-double...16 points/10 rebounds, and went to the line 14 times. Gilkey, Jordan Thompson, and Alyssa Johanson each had 10 points. Jordan Rettig had 9 points--very good to see, given that opponents will try to shackle Gilkey with great fervor during the remainder of the season. Rettig's post play and Thompson's ability to get to the rim off the dribble will be keys to the Bears' postseason success...along with AJ's scoring off the bench.
WashU travels to NYC for a Sunday afternoon game. A Bears' win and a Chicago loss at Brandeis would give the Bears a share of the UAA crown, with 3 games left in the regular season.
Brandeis led 21-20 at halftime, after shooting 30% to WashU's 23%. Hence, the description of "defensive struggle". Bears were also just 4-12 from the free throw line. They historically have poor shooting performances at Brandeis, and last night's 1st half was no exception.
The shooting improved to 43% for WashU in the second, but it won the lottery at the FT line. The difficulty of blanketing the Bears' Melissa Gilkey resulted in two Brandeis players fouling out; and that led to 31 WashU FTs in the 2nd half. The Bears made 25 of them, compared to Brandeis shooting 3-6.
Maddy Scheppers had a double-double...16 points/10 rebounds, and went to the line 14 times. Gilkey, Jordan Thompson, and Alyssa Johanson each had 10 points. Jordan Rettig had 9 points--very good to see, given that opponents will try to shackle Gilkey with great fervor during the remainder of the season. Rettig's post play and Thompson's ability to get to the rim off the dribble will be keys to the Bears' postseason success...along with AJ's scoring off the bench.

WashU dominates a short-handed NYU squad 73-46 this afternoon in NYC. Megan Dawe was out, and Riley Wurtz played only 4 minutes after returning from an ankle injury. WashU took advantage quickly
and took command early. Melissa Gilkey and Kristin Anda each had 13 points, and Gilkey added 10 rebounds. Maddy Scheppers and Alyssa Johanson each added 10 points.
Wash-U is 2 games ahead of Chicago with 3 games to play. Carnegie Mellon and Case Western visit St. Louis next weekend.

Wash-U is now 10-0 for the first time since the 2005-06 season, after a 73-49 victory over Iowa Wesleyan this afternoon in the first round of the Wartburg Holiday Tournament. Maddy Scheppers was 6-for-7 from 3-point range and finished with a season-high 22 points, 19 of them in the first half. That allowed the Bears to enjoy a 47-26 advantage at halftime; they shot 50% from the floor and 7-13 from beyond the arc.
Alyssa Johanson had 10 points, and Melissa Gilkey had 9 points (4-8 FGs) and 7 rebounds. Katybeth Biewen and Natalie Orr each had 7 points, and Jordan Thompson added 6 assists. Stephanie Vukotic had 6 rebounds in 10 minutes off the bench.
Wash-U forced 20 turnovers and had a 27-13 edge in points from turnovers, and also outrebounded Iowa Wesleyan 47-27. Karla Vietinghoff and Lauren Grubb each had 12 points to lead IWC. Wash-U faces host Wartburg in the tournament championship game tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 CST.

Good game shaping up at Wartburg, as #5 Wash-U leads the host (received votes) 34-33 at halftime. Wash-U 10-0 entering the game, Wartburg 9-1.
Wartburg raced out to early leads of 7-0 and 13-6, and eventually led 22-6 as Wash-U had 6 turnovers in the first 9 minutes. But, Wash-U closed the half on a 27-11 run, fueled by better defense and enjoying a bonus advantage from the FT line for the final 10 minutes or so. Wash-U ended up with 10 turnovers, Wartburg 8...but the Bears had a 7-4 edge in offensive rebounds and a 6-1 edge in FT scoring.
Alyssa Johanson has 9 points at the break, Jordan Thompson 8, Melissa Gilkey 6. Wartburg is led by Bobbi Burrows' 12 points. Kasey Kladivo has 6 points and 2 rebounds.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to follow University Athletic Association Women's Basketball this season, but it looks like it may be a two team race for the crown, with Chicago a possible third.
Washington University will travel to New York on Sunday for the first of two match-ups for two teams that are both undefeated.
NYU is ranked relatively low for an undefeated team--only one undefeated team ranks lower--though they also have a poor strength of schedule.
Does NYU have a serious chance of knocking off a senior-laden Washington University team or will the Bears run the table in the UAA?

I think NYU has a shot at a win this Friday. Kaitlyn Read has upped her scoring, Amy Hairioka has become a very good point guard, and Megan Dawe is Megan Dawe. Given the Bears' early struggles against Rochester (down by 7 with 9:10 to play in the 1st Half), an upset loss on the road in NYC is a possibility.
It is very encouraging to see Maddy Scheppers bounce back into double-figure scoring, after a trio of tough shooting games. I also believe that Ereka Hunt and Natalie Orr will be important to Wash-U's fortunes this weekend, in their first full road-trip weekend in the UAA. Their confidence and scoring beyond the arc off the bench were instrumental in the win over Emory Friday night, and they are going to be needed if there is a dry spell or foul trouble among some of the other starters.
One trump card in Wash-U's favor that has been overlooked a bit is the defense of Katybeth Biewen. Her defense has been stifling, as she collected 9 steals vs. Rochester Sunday--energizing the Bears with 3 steals in 3 consecutive Yellowjackets possessions to turn that game into a rout late in the 1st half.

Wash-U defeats Emory easily, 70-50 after leading by as many as 31 points early in the 2nd half. Has 1/2 game lead over Chicago, pending the Maroons' game at Rochester. NYU stays a game off the lead with a narrow 62-59 home win over Case.

Sorry that I have not posted in a while, but I do not have a laptop at home. I use a Kindle Fire at home for my internet service.
As you can imagine, the snow and cold weather in the Boston area has been historic this season. Transportation, especially via commuter rail, has been very hard to accomplish. I have been hanging on, though. I did have to follow the Brandeis women's Senior Day game vs Case Western Reserve on line this season due to the commuter rail being undependable on even a weekend schedule. I had given my thanks to Hannah Cain, the Brandeis senior captain in the game vs Carnegie Mellon-- I had made the Friday vs Carnegie Mellon my last home games in person due to the weather. Commuter Rail locomotives have been knocked out of service-- it will take at least a month for the commuter rail to be back to normal. MBTA subway and bus service has recovered faster, but hiking 5 miles from the closest bus stop home at night is a pain. As a result, I have restricted travel to Boston.
Back to the UAA...
I am very glad that Brandeis became eligible for ECAC New England Tournament selection before having to make the trip to the Midwest. The ECAC will not consider a team with a record under .500 for selection, and Brandeis clinched the winning record on Senior Day.
Carnegie Mellon needs 1 more win to be eligible for ECAC South Tournament selection. The Tartans play at Case Western Reserve on Saturday.
As for the teams contending for the NCAA (Chicago, Wash U, NYU).
Chicago is assured of hardware from the UAA for clinching at least a UAA Co-Championship.
If Wash U holds serve at home on Saturday against Chicago, then Chicago and Wash U are Co-Champions, and Wash U gets the automatic bid due to the head to head sweep of Chicago.
If Chicago wins at Wash U on Saturday, then Chicago wins the UAA title outright and the automatic bid.
Based on my seeing Chicago play at Auerbach Arena this season, the Maroons did not look like a team that went 6-5 in non-league play. Brandeis was down by 10 at the half, but with the way that Chicago played defense that game, I felt that it was going to be a long weekend. The Brandeis women did bounce back a few days later to take a 12 pt lead on Wash U at the half, but Wash U killed Brandeis in the second half.
Chicago had to run the table after the loss vs Wash U to get into consideration for NCAA selection. From what I saw of Chicago, I think that Chicago is underrated in the Top 25-- and that they deserve an NCAA bid no matter what happens on Saturday. Should Chicago get in, I would not be surprised to see the Maroons win at least 2 games in the NCAAs.
NYU is playing to host NCAA tournament games on the first weekend-- NYU looks good to be selected on a Pool C at large bid. A win vs Brandeis on Saturday should hopefully be enough to get that home field advantage. NYU is taking maximum advantage of the home court on Senior Day-- there will be a pep rally at Coles at 1:30 PM on Saturday. The last time that I remember being down at NYU at Coles for a pep rally was during my Brandeis undergraduate student days-- it was the year that the Brandeis and NYU men played at the old Boston Garden. (1989-1990 season.)
If Wash U wins on Saturday, will the Bears also host first weekend action? We will find out. Should be a great game on Saturday for the "unofficial UAA women's championship game."

I saw Chicago play at Hope earlier in the season. Hope won but Chicago played them tough at DeVos, a very tough place for a visiting team to win. I remember thinking "no way this team should be under .500". Based on what I saw that day, I am not surprised Chicago's season turned around dramatically. They are very good and definitely underrated in the national polls, obviously due to their slow start. They had 27 turnovers against Hope's pressure defense but I'm guessing they fixed that as the season wore on; the rest of their game was already good.

Sorry to see that Chicago did not get picked on an at-large bid. I guess that the NCAA committee could not overlook Chicago's 5-5 mark outside of the UAA, what with the 1-3 November start and all of those games on the road, and the 2 losses in December to regionally ranked opponents Wheaton (IL) and Hope. Perhaps St. Vincent was no longer regionally ranked in the secret rankings-- that may have hurt Chicago's chances as well.
Chicago did everything in the UAA short of getting the automatic bid. Chicago finished in a first place tie with Wash U, but lost the automatic bid on the tiebreaker. Save for Wash U, Chicago swept every other UAA opponent and finished with a 12-2 mark. It is the first time in league history in women's basketball that a UAA co-champion did not make the NCAA tournament.
Best of luck to Wash U and NYU in the NCAAs. Did I hear correctly from Dave McHugh on the DIII selection show that Coles Center is closing down and NYU is getting a new home basketball court next season? This is the first time that I have heard this.-- I did not get confirmation from the UAA, Brandeis, or NYU about this.
Later today, I will find out if Brandeis will be playing on Wednesday night in the ECAC New England tourney. If they do get picked, Brandeis will most likely be playing on the road-- I won't be surprised if Brandeis goes to Westfield State (possible #1 vs #8 match). Keene State is also a possibility as well. Potential rematches with Roger Williams and Emmanuel also, although I would be surprised to see that happen.
Carnegie Mellon ended their season at 12-13 with the loss at Case on Saturday.

In case anybody was wondering, NYU is hosting NCAA fencing regionals this weekend, but the fencing is on Sunday, and as such, should not interfere with the 1st and 2nd rounds of the basketball tournament.

Brandeis gets a bid to the ECAC New England tourney as the #6 seed.
Brandeis has a rematch at Roger Williams on Wednesday. Brandeis won by 2 pts at Roger Williams in the Judges's first road game of the season back in November.

It is going to be an interesting and busy weekend for me.
Last night, Brandeis won at Roger Williams to advance to the ECAC New England semifinals. Brandeis will be hosting the rest of the ECAC New England tournament because the higher remaining seeds told the ECAC that they would not be able to host semifinal and championship round action this weekend due to various issues.
Hopefully, Brandeis will be able to conclude the final weekend of action for the Judges by winning the ECAC New England Championship for the third time. Brandeis won it back in the 2003-04 season (defeating Eastern Connecticut in the title game in D# legend Allison Coleman's last college game for the Warriors), and in the 2004-05 season (beating Fitchburg State (MA) in the title game.)
Brandeis has a semifinal game against Emmanuel on Saturday in game #1 of the day at Auerbach Arena. The winner of that contest will face the winner of the Westfield State (MA) vs Keene State (NH) contest (Game #2 of Saturday's action) on Sunday for the ECAC New England crown.

Wash-U will host the Midwest Challenge tournament this weekend at the Fieldhouse. Good early-season barometer matchups that will give the teams a good look at what they are doing well, and what needs improvement.
Saturday: DePauw vs. Illinois Wesleyan, 1 pm CDT (both teams 2-1)/Wash-U (2-1) vs. Illinois College (3-0), 3:00
Sunday: Consolation game 1:00, Championship game 3:00
The national championship pedigrees of Wash-U, DePauw, and Illinois Wesleyan are well-known, but don't sleep on Illinois College--the Lady Blues have had two winning seasons in a row and bring a bumper crop of height to the Fieldhouse--6 players at 5'11" or 6'. 3 more at 5'10".
Should be fun to watch in person, or join me at http://bearsports.wustl.edu and click on "Live Games" for your game of choice.

Nearly three weeks into the college basketball season and there is plenty to talk about. Conference action is also starting for many programs while others are still getting up to speed in their out-of-conference schedules. On the women's side, not a lot of upsets; on the men's side, no one seems safe to an unforeseen loss. Tonight on Hoopsville, Dave talks to several teams who are still working off last season's success and battling expectations this season and others who may quietly change the conversation in their regions.

Kudos to Wash U coach Nancy Fahey... in the past week I've watched her fine (as usual) women's team dismantle Vastly inferior SLIAC teams from Webster and Fontbonne... what impressed me, is that Coach Fahey used her entire roster, 20 players, and not just at the end of the game.. 3rd and 4th stringers were in the flow of the game, most seeing time in 2 different quarters... Wash U could have run up the score tremendously in either of these games.. instead it was the coach's decision to give these youngsters, as well as a couple of little used upperclassmen, some real game time....

That's one of the things I've always admired about Coach Morehouse at Hope as well. In some recent games, everyone on the roster has seen time by the end of the first quarter, for example last game no one played more than 19 minutes and no one played less than 7. One of the advantages of having a strong program... the bench often gets opportunity for good minutes.

As a former benchwarmer, I appreciate Coach Fahey's MO, plus it allows the subs to become integrated with some prime time players in case it's needed later in the season and it reduces the opportunity for injury or slackening play by the regulars.
To this day, I remember playing in the closing seconds of the first half of a college freshman game(back when freshman couldn't play varsity but had their own team and games), taking the final shot in the offense or in-bounds play, and being hyped that my teammates had faith in allowing me the opportunity. 50 years later, I'm still willing to take the"big shot". ::)

Wash-U improved to 2-0 in the UAA with a 64-55 victory at Case-Western Reserve last night.
Wash-U's full-court press was withering, forcing a ton of turnovers (16) in the first half. But, the Bears had difficulty cashing them in at full value...shooting 25% in the first quarter, and 36% overall for the first half. The points-from-turnovers pendulum swung more toward the Bears in the 2nd half, to allow them to get 21 points from 24 Case turnovers by game's end. And, Wash-U offset the early shooting problems by giving up only 12 turnovers for the game, and allowing Case to get only 5 points from Wash-U errors.
Amanda Martinez was strong with a 15-point, 13-rebound double-double. Jordan Thompson also played well when attacking the basket, to the tune of 15 points, 6 assists, and 1 turnover. Zoe Vernon and Lily Sarros each collected 9 rebounds, as the Bears outrebounded Case 51-35.
Kara Hageman had 16 points, Jessica McCoy 15 points, and Hillary Hellmann 12 points off the bench. The Spartans lost Laura Mummey to fouls, and that allowed Wash-U to blanket Hageman--who shot 5 of 13 for the game.
Wash-U has a tough game Sunday afternoon at Carnegie Mellon...the Tartans came from behind after 3 quarters to beat Chicago 83-80. Carnegie shot 49% from the floor, but committed 24 turnovers that kept the Maroons close all the way to the end. The Bears will have to get more points from turnovers Sunday, and shoot a higher percentage to defeat the offensively-potent Tartans to close the weekend.

Carnegie-Mellon has 2 good players(Murphy-leading FG %age shooter in the nation and Poss) that I saw play in high school and a 3rd(Hudepohl) with a good game yesterday; should be a good test for CMU to see if they're for real.

I was at the CMU-Chicago game last night. Poss went down with an ankle a few minutes into the game, which explains some of the turnovers and it also seemed to take some time for the team to adjust to her absence. Mayberger came in and played pretty well in her absence. Murphy didnt play her best, missing a few shots around the basket she usually makes. Hudepohl picked up the team when they were down in the second half. She was very effective making her own shot when the team needed it. Looking at her bio, she transferred from D1 Colgate (playing in 26 games as a freshman).
Chicago also played tough. They are well coached by a former CMU top 5 career scoring leader, Carissa Sain.
Will be interesting to see how CMU does tomorrow against their first ranked opponent.

I noticed that Poss only played 9 minutes but didn't know why- wouldn't guess she would be able to play tomorrow if she didn't get back in last night's game. Lot of conference games to go, though.

I have seen her play in the Viz tourney. She is good.
Apparently, her former Cor Jesu teammate Kristina Schmelter will join Fahey and company next season. The Schmelter family will be Field House main stays next season.

Congratulations on the 700th win from me as well.
I too have heard rumors of Kristina Schmelter joining her brother on the Field House hardwood as well, but we will just have to wait and see.
The bad shooting seems to be a persistent problem (fortunately sometimes Orr seems to get hot from 3 point range anyway). They may have set plays, but all too often I've seen them take wild, awkward shots when there is still plenty of time for getting a better shot off. They're making the games more "interesting" than they need to. Don't get me started on the free throws either. I've never played basketball beyond the hoop at the house, but the one drill I'd like to see is free throw practice after running up and down the court to get the heart racing in order to better match game conditions.

I'm a little late in replying to this, but Coach Fahey has been taking this approach for as long as I've been watching, clear back to the 1998-2001 run.
Much is made of counting stats and percentage of team totals here:
http://d3hoops.com/notables/2015/06/recalling-wash-u-dynamic-duo
but I'd like to compare the minutes per game and who was on the court when the game was basically won.

Congratulations to Coach Fahey for her 700th win! 2nd fastest coach at any level of NCAA men's and women's basketball to achieve that honor...U-Conn's Geno Auriemma reached #700 4 games faster.
Regarding the discussion of the reserves getting quality playing time (and not just when the game is in hand), Coach Fahey realizes that she has needed substantial performances from her bench players frequently throughout her career. In the 2011 NCAA Tournament, early on, the top two post players suffered knee injuries within minutes of each other. Coach Fahey had several reserves that were battle-tested, so that wasn't as devastating as it could have been. In the Elite 8 win over Chicago in that tournament, Bri Monahan had 12 points off the bench, ready to play and contribute when called. And so it has been throughout Coach Fahey's career.
Today @ Carnegie, three starters received 25-30 minutes of playing time: Jordan Thompson, Amanda Martinez, and Katybeth Biewen. If Thompson needs a rest, Coach Fahey can plug in Alexandra Keane (grad student), and Claudia Smith (freshman) to help run the point because those two players have received quite a bit of playing time to prepare them for duty. Biewen has been playing point guard at times, and Thompson at shooting guard--so Natalie Orr has been very good off the bench as a reserve 2 and not just a 3-point specialist.
In the frontcourt, if a starter gets in foul trouble, there are others at the ready. Freshman Steph Botkin and senior Paige Naig both stepped up to help the inside game today. Jenn Dynis had a good game as well (10 points), and can help out in the paint, usually off the bench. Sarah Greene saw a lot of minutes early in non-conference play, so she is ready to contribute when needed. So, depending on the opponent, Coach Fahey has quite a few plug-and-play reserves ready to perform their roles from game to game. Today was no exception.
Many coaches are wary of trusting a lot of reserves with pivotal minutes, but that is one of the many reasons why Coach Fahey has been successful. The reserves get great preparation in practice, and they get very useful developmental minutes in non-conference play. That gears them for the UAA slate and NCAA tournament play. As a predictible result, the players love playing for Nancy because she values her reserves. And, the results of her teams' performances over the length of her 29+ year career speak for themselves.
Regarding the discussion of the reserves getting quality playing time (and not just when the game is in hand), Coach Fahey realizes that she has needed substantial performances from her bench players frequently throughout her career. In the 2011 NCAA Tournament, early on, the top two post players suffered knee injuries within minutes of each other. Coach Fahey had several reserves that were battle-tested, so that wasn't as devastating as it could have been. In the Elite 8 win over Chicago in that tournament, Bri Monahan had 12 points off the bench, ready to play and contribute when called. And so it has been throughout Coach Fahey's career.
Today @ Carnegie, three starters received 25-30 minutes of playing time: Jordan Thompson, Amanda Martinez, and Katybeth Biewen. If Thompson needs a rest, Coach Fahey can plug in Alexandra Keane (grad student), and Claudia Smith (freshman) to help run the point because those two players have received quite a bit of playing time to prepare them for duty. Biewen has been playing point guard at times, and Thompson at shooting guard--so Natalie Orr has been very good off the bench as a reserve 2 and not just a 3-point specialist.
In the frontcourt, if a starter gets in foul trouble, there are others at the ready. Freshman Steph Botkin and senior Paige Naig both stepped up to help the inside game today. Jenn Dynis had a good game as well (10 points), and can help out in the paint, usually off the bench. Sarah Greene saw a lot of minutes early in non-conference play, so she is ready to contribute when needed. So, depending on the opponent, Coach Fahey has quite a few plug-and-play reserves ready to perform their roles from game to game. Today was no exception.
Many coaches are wary of trusting a lot of reserves with pivotal minutes, but that is one of the many reasons why Coach Fahey has been successful. The reserves get great preparation in practice, and they get very useful developmental minutes in non-conference play. That gears them for the UAA slate and NCAA tournament play. As a predictible result, the players love playing for Nancy because she values her reserves. And, the results of her teams' performances over the length of her 29+ year career speak for themselves.

Congratulations to Coach Fahey for her 700th win! 2nd fastest coach at any level of NCAA men's and women's basketball to achieve that honor...U-Conn's Geno Auriemma reached #700 4 games faster.
That is an awesome bit of trivia.

I think Mike Strong(Scranton) took 845 games(and 2 vs Fahey) vs 826 for Fahey.

It isn't easy to coach at any level. It is a joy to coach Division III says many a coach. Some enjoy it on their way up the ladder, others on their way closer to retirement, and others as their passion.
Tonight on Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com) we talk to many coaches in different aspects of their careers with varying teams who are succeeding on the court and off of it because of what coaching has taught them including facing the challenges no one should face especially off the court.
Hoopsville hits the air tonight at 7:00 pm ET with a jam packed show. Talking to programs who are leading their conferences or in the hunt facing the challenge that not everyone expect them to be competitive. We also talk to a few coaches who are taking care of more than Xs and Os. They are taking care of their team after a horrific circumstance of a player's murder or looking out of their own battling cancer.
You can watch the show starting at 7pm ET tonight right here: http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2015-16/jan21 (http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2015-16/jan21)

Good to see Lindsay Poss return for CMU this weekend. She was injured back early in the Chicago game, but despite pulling that one out, the CMU team didnt look quite like themselves without her going 0-3 and not being that competitive in those UAA matchups.
Her first game back on Friday, they played with a top 10 team on the road (NYU) and were a missed FT at the end of regulation away from sending it to OT. They got back on track with a solid win at Brandeis this afternoon.
Hopefully we will see big things from them going forward with the starting 5 back intact. Look forward to hearing from Coach Hullah on Hoopsville tonight!

Strong night for the UAA. Women went 4-0. Men 2-0.
The most competitive of the 6 was undoubtedly CMU at Hope, pulling out a great win. CMU led nearly the entire way, until a Hope 3 put them ahead by 2 in the final minute. CMU missed a shot with under 10 seconds to play, but Lisa Murphy got the offensive rebound (her 9th OREB of the night), put it in while getting hacked and made the FT to give CMU the lead with 5 seconds to go (which ended up being the final score). Her line is unbelievable (as they have been the whole year). 25 points on 12-14 shooting and 14 boards. What was most impressive tonight was her ability to play with foul trouble, as she played 38 minutes while getting her 3rd foul a couple minutes after the half time break and getting her 4th just into the 4th quarter (takes a lot of trust from the coach also). CMU plays ONU next.
Hopefully the UAA has a similarly strong round of 32.

It looks like we have yet another Notre Dame de Sion product on the roster in Camille Keane. Her older sister played for four years, including last season while enrolled at the Medical School. Her brother is also a student according to the bio.

You also have a player from my local school - Ariana Phillips(Good Counsel). I saw them play once last season, but don't remember her play, specifically, but I will say that her team plays in what I consider the strongest girls' high school league in the country. I shouldn't have missed her.

Wash-U enters UAA play a week from tomorrow (January 7) with a 10-0 record, after getting a win today over previously-unbeaten Wartburg 87-84 in Wartburg's holiday tournament. Wash-U was #6 and Wartburg #8 entering the game.
Madeline Homoly had a career-best 30 points in today's victory, to go along with 9 rebounds and 4 steals. Jenn Dynis added 13 points, and Zoe Vernon scored all 17 of her points in the 2nd half. Homoly was the tournament MVP, and Vernon was also on the all-tournament team.
Wash-U was down by double-digits in the 2nd quarter and down 7 at the end of the 3rd quarter, but outscored Wartburg 28-18 in the final quarter. Dynis scored on a layup with :17 left to put the Bears up by a point, and Homoly added 2 FTs with no time left.
Wash-U is well-positioned for success in UAA play. There is depth at every position...Homoly, Dynis, Lily Sarros, and Steph Botkin inside the paint; Vernon, Natalie Orr, and Rachael Sondag are very good 3-point shooters, and point guards Claudia Smith and Becca-Clark Callender are distributing the basketball to an assist-turnover ratio of 63-25 (2.52 to 1).
The UAA fun is about to begin...

Wash-U was down by double-digits in the 2nd quarter and down 7 at the end of the 3rd quarter, but outscored Wartburg 28-18 in the final quarter. Dynis scored on a layup with :17 left to put the Bears up by a point, and Homoly added 2 FTs with no time left.
Wash-U is well-positioned for success in UAA play. There is depth at every position...Homoly, Dynis, Lily Sarros, and Steph Botkin inside the paint; Vernon, Natalie Orr, and Rachael Sondag are very good 3-point shooters, and point guards Claudia Smith and Becca-Clark Callender are distributing the basketball to an assist-turnover ratio of 63-25 (2.52 to 1).
The UAA fun is about to begin...

Here we go...the start of UAA play is upon us tomorrow (January 7).
Wash-U has an interesting quartet of games in the next eight days...UAA opener at Chicago tomorrow, a home game vs. Millikin Monday afternoon at 2:30 (rescheduled from the postponement on Dec. 17), then UAA games Friday and Sunday at Emory and at Rochester.
Similar to the Wash-U men, the ladies have a very tough UAA-opening trio of games, all on the road. 2-1 in that stretch would be great, a start of 3-0 would be euphoric. They have the ingredients for securing the UAA championship and making a deep run in the NCAA tournament...but victories will have to be earned on the court.
Tipoff in Chicago tomorrow is at 1:00...

As the season continues to march along, we continue to see more and more twists. There aren't many more answers despite being about halfway through the season.
Sunday night on Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com), Dave continues the coverage of the UWSP investigation and punishments. Athletics Director Brad Duckworth will join the show to discuss everything that lead up to the decision to suspend Bob Semling the rest of the season and why they handed the program over to Kent Dernbach.
Also tonight, the WBCA Center Court segment makes its season debut. The first guest this season will be Emory women's coach Christy Thomaskutty. Not only will we learn more about why Thomaskutty has been so intregal as a member of the WBCA board, but learn why she thinks it is important to give back to the game she loves. We will also learn more about the Eagles who have their first game in UAA action now complete.
We will also dip into the Northeast, Atlantic, South, and Central regions to get a sense of how some teams off the radar, and others very much on, are doing as the midseason turn arrives. You can also contribute to the new "Hoopsville Mailbag." Email questions you may have to the show at hoopsville@d3hoops.com.

Wash-U wins tonight 76-65 at Emory, recovering from its UAA-opening loss at Chicago last Saturday.
Perhaps the most notable difference was the Bears' 3-point defense tonight...limiting Emory to 29% shooting (5-17), after Chicago shot 42% from 3 last week. Meanwhile, Wash-U's took its 3-point shooting up a notch, burying 9 of 19 3s (47%). And, the Bears played well inside the paint, outscoring Emory 30-22 in that department and displaying a 12-2 edge in 2nd-chance points. Several high-low plays with two players in the pivot were successful between Jenn Dynis, Madeline Homoly, and Lily Sarros. Dynis had 17 points and Sarros added 14.
Wash-U trailed 42-40 at halftime, but enjoyed a 24-10 edge in the 3rd quarter to turn the game around.
On to Rochester to see if the Bears can end the UAA-opening trio of games on the road with a 2-1 result...

Um.. NYU doesn't have a gym! Their place was torn down starting at the end of last season, about a year later than planned. The Around the Region reporter wrote extensively about it recently: http://www.d3hoops.com/columns/around-the-region/east/2016-17/nyu-home-away-from-home

It has been a while since I last posted on this thread, but I briefly wanted to talk today about the change in the ECAC format for Division 3 tournaments which took effect this year. In exchange for the ECAC providing some financial assistance to teams participating in their tournaments, the old format that had the ECAC crowning regional champions in their tournaments has been scrapped in favor of a format which has ECAC teams from all 4 regions of the ECAC (New England, Metro, North and South) competing for one championship title. Since the Brandeis women will not have a winning season this year, Springfield will be the only New England representative that will be participating in the ECAC women's basketball championship (assuming that they do not win the NEWMAC tournament) this season.
Carnegie Mellon and NYU have declared for the ECACs as well-- therefore, if the Tartans do not get picked by the NCAA for a Pool C bid, there is a distinct possibility of a rematch between Carnegie Mellon and NYU in the ECAC semifinals and/or championship game this year (pending selection by the ECAC and good weather on the day of the game.)

Just FYI - the ECAC compensation isn't quite what it looks like. In football, transportation was covered, but schools had to buy 300 tickets as well. Not sure how much compensation is really happening.
This also reminds me I forgot to get someone from the ECAC on an earlier Hoopsville show this year. SMH

Yes, the ECAC financial assistance is very small. For basketball, the school that hosts the final 3 rounds of the tournament gets a $4,000 stipend. The 7 other travelling teams only get paid for 1 bus round trip from their school to the game site, with no provisions for room and board. No financial assistance is provided by the ECAC to help with Wednesday preliminary games. It is slightly better than the old format, which had every participating team cover their own costs of putting on the regional tournaments. However, under this new format, I am not surprised that the only New England teams that filed declarations for the ECAC women's basketball tournament were Brandeis and Springfield.

Trust me when I say this, the $4k stipend is a drop in the bucket for these kinds of thing. I know hosting Hoopsville Classic is a bigger endeavor, but knowing the costs of running that event... $4k is nothing. The ECAC is desperately trying to hold this together and those who have applied to participate (and could still back out) is an ever shrinking group. ECAC's end was written a few years ago... it is just a matter of when it will officially end, now.
FYI - no New England schools elected to participate in football this past year (for many reasons).

Back out day is today, so maybe they'll update the lists tomorrow and we'll know what they're choosing from. We also have to remember, some of those declared teams have a sub .500 record and aren't eligible.

Quick update on women's action--
Congrats to Wash U on their big come from behind effort today to defeat Chicago and capture the AQ for the women's tournament.
Chicago will need some discussion due to their 18-7 record (.720 winning pct), but their extremely high SOS, and their results vs RROs make the Maroons a strong candidate for a Pool C bid. In the UAA, the Maroons went 5-1 vs RROs, sweeping Rochester and Carnegie Mellon, and splitting with Wash U. In non-league, Chicago went 1-4 vs RROs, winning against Claremont Mudd-Scripps, and losing vs Wheaton(IL), Illinois Wesleyan, Rose-Hulman, and Texas-Dallas. Rochester finishes with a 17-8 mark (.680), and Carnegie Mellon was also losing at halftime. Right now, I see Chicago with the best chance at a Pool C bid.
Update-- Carnegie Mellon won today to finish at 18-7 (.720) winning pct. Awaiting results of DePauw and Rose-Hulman contests as well as the Trine vs Calvin matchup to check probability of the Tartans making the national table for discussion. Ohio Northern got into the NCAAs with a perfect record, but Thomas More is still playing in their title game at this moment.

Chicago was the better team today, but sabotaged by free throws and some lucky shots from WashU. The Maroons should handily get into Pool C. They might even be first team on the board for the Central Region if Oshkosh takes care of business. They will have 13 results versus regionally-ranked teams* (most in the country), 8 regionally-ranked wins, and a top 5 SOS in the nation, with not a single bad loss on the resume. It would be a travesty if they didn't make the field.
* Based on fact that second set of regional rankings means all those opponents fall into once-ranked, always-ranked status.

Chicago deserves to make it in as a Pool C team this year. In 2014-15, Chicago was UAA Co-Champion, but lost the AQ on a 0-2 tiebreaker vs WashU, and a 5-5 non league in region record did not get Chicago in as a Pool C that year (Illinois Tech was a provisional team that Chicago defeated, so Chicago effectively finished with a 17-7 record that year.). That snub a few years ago probably gave Chicago extra motivation to try to win at Wash U today to eliminate all doubt.

Blue_Jays--
The results vs NYU are not results vs a RRO at the time of selection. NYU is no longer in the East Region rankings. It is not once ranked, always ranked-- the team must be assured of being a RRO after the conference tournaments have concluded to be a RRO at the time of selection. However, starting next year, a team ranked in the Week 3 regional rankings will automatically be counted as a RRO at the time of selection, from what I am hearing. Therefore, I only count 11 RRO contests in Chicago's resume.

This isn't exactly correct from what I have been told. This is what I have been told by an NCAA liaison just a few weeks ago:
Week 3 will set up the final regional rankings with it's vRRO data. The RACs will create Week 4's rankings. Those rankings will go to the national committee who will make any necessary tweaks as they always do. The vRRO is then recalculated and the national committee will re-rank again (which they do anyway). The vRRO is based on Week 4's rankings. When they are done with the ranking this final time a new vRRO number is produced using the latest ranking and the Week 4's.
Now, I understand completely this may not make any sense. I have confirmed it twice with the liaison and I plan to confirm it two or three more times with that person and others. But for now, work with this because the person was pretty firm on it and it was somewhat confirmed by a committee chair.
One other note... the Chicago "snub" in 2015 had one other key factor... Chicago had played a couple of non-Division III teams if memory serves (I don't have the energy to look it up). I just remember their numbers being down. I think this played a key role as well.

When they are done with the ranking this final time a new vRRO number is produced using the latest ranking and the Week 4's.
Now, I understand completely this may not make any sense. I have confirmed it twice with the liaison and I plan to confirm it two or three more times with that person and others. But for now, work with this because the person was pretty firm on it and it was somewhat confirmed by a committee chair.
One other note... the Chicago "snub" in 2015 had one other key factor... Chicago had played a couple of non-Division III teams if memory serves (I don't have the energy to look it up). I just remember their numbers being down. I think this played a key role as well.
1.) at UW-Whitewater -- Lost
2.). vs Capital (Game played at Manchester)-- Won
3.) at Manchester-- Lost
4.) at Carthage-- Lost
5.) Wheaton(IL)-- Won
6.) at Illinois Wesleyan-- Lost
7.) St. Vincent (Game played at Hope)-- Won
8.) at Hope-- Lost
9.) Loras-- Won
10.) Illinois Tech-- Won
11.) Oberlin-- Won
Illinois Tech that season was not a countable DIII game due to the provisional status of that school-- the other 10 opponents were DIII opponents.
Chicago finished that season with a 17-7 record (.708 winning percentage) for purposes of that selection process.

Starting to look at the bracket--
Is the NCAA starting to loosen the purse strings again-- thereby loosening the 500 mile geographic proximity requirement of teams that will participate in sectionals? On the Tufts side of the draw, I am seeing a sectional matchup that is rivalling the sectional matchups of the 2006-07 season. That year saw Emmanuel host a sectional involving S. Maine, DePauw, and Calvin at what is now known as the Andy Yosinoff Court at the Jean Yawkey Center in Boston. The bracket this year sets up a national type sectional involving Tufts, Scranton, Wis Oshkosh, and Wash U, (or other teams) where at least 2 flights will have to be made. Scranton and Tufts are over 500 miles from Wis Oshkosh or Wash U. I would love to see Tufts host this sectional if they make it the first weekend-- which I believe that Tufts will do with their defensive prowess. I will certainly make sure to attend this sectional in person if Tufts advances and gets to host that second weekend--- I would love to see Wash U v. Tufts in the Elite 8 if both teams advance to that round.

This has the potential of a matchup of 2 of the best players in D3 - Lisa Murphy of Carnegie-Mellon and Sara Tarbert of Stevenson. Let's hope it happens.
Deis,
By the way, good to have you back on the chat boards; u have always been a resource for NE basketball and UAA, in particular. In addition, I always enjoyed the description of your journeys to various D3 venues to watch the games.

What Bobbi Morgan basically said... they didn't have much of a choice. More and more good teams are starting to get spread out around the country. If you look at the bracket, there might have been one pod you could move to reduce 6 flights to 5 in the second weekend. If the NCAA was truly loosening the purse strings (and you could argue they have slightly)... NWC wouldn't have three teams parked in the same pod this weekend. One or two of them would have flown out like they did in 2013. Of course to fix the NWC problem, you need two flights. NCAA wouldn't pay for that in the opening weekend.
But again... I am not sure looking at the bracket you can fix much of the travel in the second weekend.
And FYI - Tufts women have to hope the Tufts men aren't in position to host the second weekend. Men have priority this year on the second weekend.

Scranton's men did get into the 2nd spot, but I don't see them suddenly trumping Middlebury's numbers and hosting over the Panthers.
Tufts men are in good shape, so yes... could absolutely host, but the committee also said they treated Babson as the #1 despite its position in the bracket.
WashU men hosting is a real possibility... so maybe it is anyone's guess. LOL

Congrats to UChicago on a great season. They took an undefeated St. Thomas team down to the wire and gave them their closest game of the season at 73-69. The seniors will be greatly missed, but much of the team will be back and hopefully will be able to reproduce their unique brand of havoc next year as well.

Might as well put this to rest... they are doing a national search with applicants applying. I hardly doubt WashU will simply call another coach and hire them. They will go through the process with this one. Who ever gets the job will have to step on the "Mark Edwards and Nancy Fahey Court" every day. Think about that challenge for a moment.

You will also find the previous podcast on that page which talks about the new NCAA Men's Coordinator of Officials which many may be interested in. We hope to chat with the women's national coordinator at a later time, but the men's conversation will be helpful all the same.

I am watching the video stream of Brandeis vs Tufts.
Tufts is up, 28-22, at the half. Tufts had an 18-9 lead after the first quarter by virtue of the Jumbos defense forcing Brandeis into 9 turnovers in that quarter, 6 of which were steals by Tufts. Brandeis was able to take the second quarter, 13-10.

Tufts was able to put the game away in the third quarter, and ended up defeating Brandeis today, 62-41.
Erica DeCandido led Tufts with 19 pts, while Melissa Baptista scored 14 pts for the preseason #1 ranked team in the d3hoops.com poll.
4 Brandeis Judges scored 6 pts a piece.
Rochester has their crack vs Tufts on Friday in the Williams Classic.

I was spending the rest of the afternoon watching whip-around coverage of UAA women's teams in action. I caught the first half of the NYU v Oneonta women's game with Russ Steinberg (of sbnation.com fame) on the call; followed by the start of the second half of Chicago vs Carthage, which saw Chicago win a thrilling double OT victory. The best was saved for last-- action from the Midwest Challenge, with the DePauw WGRE FM Sports crew on the call-- in which DePauw fans thought that they had the game-winning layup, only to have Rachel Sondag of Wash U hit the 3 pt game winning dagger at the other end. Wash U wins the Midwest Challenge and a potential 2 victories vs ranked opponents in the Pool C resume for February. Wash U has nominated the Sondag 3 pointer for ESPN's Top 10 plays of the day.

It was a dandy, no doubt about it. Had to rush the shot a bit to beat the clock, and it found its way home.
Sondag made 3 treys in the final 7 minutes of the game. Each one gave Wash-U a lead. Amazing.

Highlights from Chicago's win over Carthage yesterday:
Taylor Lake had a career high 26 pts for the Maroons. She made 1-2 from 3 pt range, but more on that 3 pointer later.
First, in the first OT period, Chicago's Miranda Burt made a clutch 3 with 44 seconds left in the first OT to tie the game at 88 a piece. Burt attempted a game winning 3 pt shot at the buzzer of that period, but the shot missed.
Taylor Lake then hit her clutch 3 ptr with 26 seconds left in the second OT to give the Maroons a 94-90 lead. Chicago made 2-2 at the line for the final score.

Other weekend highlights:
Carnegie Mellon sophomore Makayla Filiere scored a career high 24 pts in the Tartans victory over Denison. CMU went 2-0 in the Marietta Turkey Shoot, with Filiere being the leading scorer for the Tartans in both of these contests.
NYU went 1-1 over the weekend. The Violets rolled over John Jay on Saturday before losing by 2 vs Oneonta yesterday. Oneonta shot 26 of 32 from the charity stripe vs NYU's 3 of 5 from the foul line. Kaitlyn Read led NYU with 14 pts in yesterday's loss. NYU had a season low 10 turnovers yesterday.

In their win over Brockport yesterday, Rochester was able to play excellent defense and dominate on the boards. That work will have to carry over through the week into Friday's game vs Tufts. Last year, Tufts proved that their defense can shut down any player in the UAA, and I have not seen anything in the first 4 Tufts games this season to think any differently.

My thoughts on Rochester vs Tufts--
1.). Rochester played well. They scored more than 50 vs the Tufts defense.
There were only 5 teams who scored 50 or more on Tufts last season, and Tufts went 4-1 in those games:
Skidmore-- 55 pts-- 11/19/2016
U. New England-- 50-- 12/10/2016
Colby-- 58 pts-- 1/7/2017-- NESCAC game
St Thomas (MN) -- 57-- 3/17/2017-- National Semifinal
Amherst-- 52-- 3/18/2017-- National Championship
2.) Alex Leslie had a double double with 19 pts and 12 rbs. She led Rochester scorers in the first quarter with 4 of the 9 pts scored in that quarter.
3.). Rochester committed 10 turnovers in the first quarter, but took better care of the ball afterwards.
I was listening to Dave McHugh on Hoopsville last night, and I agree with him that Rochester should remain in the top 10 this week. I felt that Rochester had a successful weekend.

As for Austin winning the McWilliams Classic this season, congratulations to the gameRoos.
Last year, Austin finished ranked #8 in South by the NCAA. They had a record of 19-8, a SOS of .525, and a 0-7 record on results vs reg. ranked opponents.
This year, Austin will most likely pick up a win vs reg. ranked in February as a result of winning the McWilliams Classic.
As for Wash U, I would not count their NCAA hopes out just yet. Too early, especially since Wash U won the Midwest Challenge. Wait for UAA play. If the Bears go 0-2 on the Case and Carnegie Mellon trip, then you can worry. The coaches did pick Wash U to finish 3rd this season, and therefore needing a Pool C bid to get in.
Similarly, if the Bears drop 5 or more UAA games, then you can worry as well.

Since WUH has posted the current Massey rating for the UAA men, I will do so for the women's side.
Massey currently ranks the UAA Women at #3, with the WIAC at #1 and NESCAC at #2.
This is very early in the season, however.

I am very encouraged by Brandeis's first half play, as the Judges lead Babson, 38-28, at halftime. Brandeis has not beaten Babson since Jessica Chapin's graduation in 2010.

Brandeis is leading Babson, 52-44, after 3 quarters.
Brandeis's video stream seems to be having technical difficulties, so I may have to follow live stats for the 4th quarter.

Final from Auerbach Arena in Waltham, MA
Brandeis 69, Babson 56
First win for the Judges over Babson since 2009-10 season. This win snaps a 6 game losing streak to the Beavers, and is Brandeis's signature win of this semester.
Babson was ranked #4 in New England by the NCAA regional rankings last season.
My thoughts on this game to follow, but I literally have jury duty in the morning in Dedham, MA, and this Brandeis win really brightens my spirits going into it.

Some quick thoughts on the game--
1.) I loved Brandeis's energy right from the start. Judges led wire to wire.
2.). Brandeis shot 26 of 31 from the charity stripe. Babson shot well from the foul line too as they went 18 of 23.
3.) Neither team shot well from 3 pt land, but Brandeis hit 3 from 3 pt range to Babson's 2.
4.) Still a lot of turnovers, but maybe it could not be helped given the quick pace of the game.
5.). Babson held to 28.8% shooting from the field.
6.). Top scorers for Brandeis-- Hannah Nicholson with 18 pts, Katie Goncalo with 12 pts, and Eva Hart with 9 pts. I loved Goncalo's shot to end the first half.
Brandeis may have picked up their first win over a regionally ranked opponent of the season. We will find out on Feb. 21, 2018, but for now, a great win for the Judges tonight.
Update-- Coming into last night's game, Babson received 1 vote in the d3hoops.com Top 25, in the week 2 poll just released. The poll does not include the results from last night's game.

Wash U 83, Greenville 56
Of note:
1.) Mary Bryggman becomes the first of the current Wash U first year players to score this season. She scored 4 pts late in the fourth quarter. She also grabbed 2 rebounds.
2.). Becca Clark-Callender left the game with an injury late. She currently has 5.3 assists per game, according to jaybird44 on the Wash U Sports Network webcast. Hopefully it is nothing serious, and she will be able to recover quickly.
The win is the 400th home victory in the history of the Wash U program.

Tomorrow night is the first night of the second annual Mark's Pizzeria Crosstown Shootout in Rochester, NY. This is a 4 team event between Rochester, St John Fisher, Nazareth, and RIT. This is the event that replaced the Chase Tournament/Wendy's College Classic, which came to an end in 2015.
This year's event on the women's side is being hosted by Rochester at the Palestra, and will be played Thursday and Saturday. It is played in a classic format with Rochester playing St John Fisher and Nazareth this week in the second game each night.
Rochester will also play RIT later this season in January.

Glad to see that you revived this thread...
I went to the Oglethorpe vs. Washington University game over the weekend.
It was very weird watching a game without Coach Fahey on the sidelines. Coach Henderson has her own style and that is cool, but there was something about the way Fahey patrolled the sidelines.
Becca Clark-Callender is an absolute joy to watch in person if you appreciate the art of no-look passes (as I do). I hope she is OK.

I felt like an era had ended when then NYU coach Janice Quinn had to retire from coaching for medical reasons, and I have the same feeling about coach Nancy Fahey, and to a lesser extent, former Emory coach Christy Thomaskutty. However, as coach Randi Henderson is a classmate of the current Bucknell and former Chicago coach Aaron Roussell, I have confidence that she will be a formidable coach.
When Nancy Fahey was last at Brandeis, I was telling her about how formidable the Amherst defense was. I forgot to tell her that Tufts was like a "zero sugar" version of Amherst, but I'm sure she knew that before facing coach Berube. I honestly did not know that Tufts was going to be her final d3 opponent, and I can't really invest in a BTN plus subscription to see Illinois in action. I went to see Amherst play at Tufts last season, and it was then that I knew that both teams could defeat any team in our league last season. I believe that both Amherst and Tufts will be formidable again should any UAA team face them in the NCAA tournament.
I share your feelings about Becca Clark-Callender. Hopefully she will recover quickly.

I was thinking about what I said and decided to return and say that I have full faith in Coach Henderson. She may never be Coach Fahey in terms of her sideline demeanor, but no one really expects that.
That Tufts game was an unusually tough loss.
A few hours before the game, I was checking Twitter and noticed a Frank Cusumano Tweet in which he said something to the effect of Nancy Fahey would be a tremendous hire for Illinois. Frank Cusumano is one of the more popular sports journalists in St. Louis, a big fan of Washington University athletics and a former small college basketball player. I should have assumed he was on to something, but I remember laughing it off and then (true story!) checking the stats to see how many more years Fahey would have to coach to overtake Pat Summit.

Yesterday, St Norbert was forced to cancel 10 games as a result of some of the women's basketball players being involved in an alcohol-related incident on campus.
One of the teams affected by this decision is Chicago. Chicago was scheduled to play St Norbert in the opening round of the Fred Raizk Memorial Tournament at Wilmington College. The other two schools in the tournament are Earlham and Wilmington, and this is a "winners advance" tournament with a consolation game.
I don't know if this tournament can be extended a day to allow for each of the 3 teams participating in the tournament to play the other two teams in a round robin format.
One possible scenario, which the NEWMAC women's soccer tournament used earlier this year, was to have the host school of the championship game get a bye to the final while the other two teams faced off on the first day with the winner advancing to the title game to play the host school. Wheaton (MA) had been suspended from the women's soccer tournament due to an incident at a Halloween party on campus. The NEWMAC had Babson play Springfield in the semis, with the winner facing MIT, which hosted both games.
As a result, I would not be surprised if the revised schedule will now have Chicago play Earlham on Dec. 20, with the winner to play Wilmington on Dec. 21. Wilmington gets the rest day as host school.

First semester finals may have started, or about to start, but that hasn't stopped the action on the hardcourt from being formidable. Even the first winter storm of the season didn't stop the games on the East Coast.
On Sunday night's episode of Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com), Dave tries not to scratch his hair (out) as he and guests try and decipher the action of the past few nights and week. While the women seem to have settled in this week, the men's side continues to produce results that make things more complicated. Are there any great teams in Division III?
It just may be too early, still, to really know.

Final-- Rochester 77, Ithaca 67
Great second half by UR. If Noontime Sports had an East Region coaches poll, Rochester would most likely be #1 in the East in the next poll.
Quick thoughts--
Big game from Lauren Deming. 28 pts, 8 rebounds, 5 of 7 from 3 pt land for Rochester. As I was watching the video, I saw Deming really taking over in the second half.
Alexandra Leslie wasn't shabby either with a 19 pt performance.
Lizzy Atkinson scored 10 pts for UR.
For Ithaca--
Cassidy O'Malley had a double double with 24 pts and 12 boards.
Also, expect a lot of oldies to be played if you watch a women's game at Ben Light Gym-- either online or in person. Elton John's "Crocodile Rock" was played at the end of the first quarter, and there was also a playing of "Sweet Caroline."

I happened to be listening to jaybird44 interviewing Wash U assistant coach Duez Henderson during halftime of the Wash U men's game vs Fontbonne. Duez Henderson broke the news yesterday that coach Randi Henderson is expected to give birth to a baby boy shortly. I just wanted to extend my congratulations.
Duez Henderson stated that the assistants will be running practices and coaching games during Randi's maternity leave. I didn't catch any further details.

This week's ESPNW Top 10--
#8 Chicago v North Park-- Madison Dunbar blocks a North Park shot, then follows it up with a no-look pass to a Chicago teammate.
Note: That was how the announcers described it, but I could not find the rejection in the box score. The video does show the no-look pass.
Nice to see the UAA get some ESPN recognition.

Ryan,
Good work with the insights from the players! Lisa Murphy was someone I evaluated during her senior hi school season and was hoping to interest in my alma mater but CMU won out.
Just a week ago, I was talking at a golf course with the father of a local(Faith Randolph from D1- UVA) playing ball in the Mediterranean area professionally, so your article was timely in that sense.

Hoping your holidays are going well.
campusnation.com (http://campusnation.com) now has the video of both Chicago games from last week's Fred Raizk Tournament at Wilmington College available for viewing.
I experienced a little bit of buffering on the Chicago v Wilmington game, but not enough to affect my enjoyment of the coverage.
I initially thought that Wilmington College's court reminded me a bit of some of the gyms in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference, particularly the one at Albertus Magnus. However, there was a floor camera in the second game that revealed that the court may have some bleachers on the second level that were not being used. Wilmington has an interesting bandbox gym.
Looking forward to action resuming on Friday.
Rochester and NYU have 1 non-conf game left, Emory has 3 games left before UAA play, Chicago has completed its non league schedule, and the remaining UAA teams have 2 games left. Non-conference play this weekend on Friday and Saturday, with 3 games on January 2 before UAA play starts.
Brandeis hosts Endicott to start Friday's slate of games, with Wash U, Case, Carnegie Mellon, and Emory also playing Friday. On Saturday, Wash U, Case, Carnegie Mellon, Emory, and NYU are in action. The following Tuesday, Brandeis is at Regis(MA), with Rochester hosting undefeated RIT, and Emory at Oglethorpe.
Wash U plays Hendrix and UW-Platteville, and I will not be surprised to see the Bears have assistant coaches working the head coach position this weekend while coach Randi Henderson takes some time caring for her newborn second child, who will be two weeks old at tipoff.

I probably will watch some other UAA women's action, even if only for a short while, this evening. Emory, Case, and Carnegie Mellon still to play tonight.

UAA Player of the Week going into UAA play is Kaitlyn Read of NYU for her game against Smith. Read scored 25 pts Saturday and sank the last 5 points of the game from the charity stripe to win the game for the Violets.
NYU is 7-4 going into Saturday and needs 6 more wins to clinch a better than .500 record and eligibility for ECAC tournament selection.

Bucknell women's basketball coach Aaron Roussell (former coach at Chicago) sends best wishes to all of the UAA players and coaches as the UAA season begins.
I met with him yesterday at BU for the Patriot League game between Bucknell and BU at Case Gym-- the Roof. Coach Roussell was very successful in Chicago's trips to Brandeis, and this continues on to Bucknell's trips to BU. A very entertaining contest yesterday afternoon with Bucknell winning by 5 pts.
A few players from the Babson men's basketball team were in attendance at Case Gym yesterday. One of them played for BU on the men's side last season.
Small crowd yesterday with a smaller than usual BU pep band-- about the same number in the pep band yesterday as NYU's pep band. Of course, the Patriot League contest was at 2 PM Eastern yesterday.

NYU 76, Brandeis 64 Final
For NYU
Kayla Patterson-- 23 pts, 19 rebounds, 13 of them offensive rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocked shots.
Kaitlyn Read-- 21 pts.
Annie Barrett led NYU with 7 assists.
For Brandeis--
Camila Casanueva had 17 pts but no assists.
Noel Hodges led Brandeis with 3 assists.
Just a skinny update, but with Kayla Patterson's improved game and Kaitlyn Read back playing for NYU, the early season pick of NYU to finish in the top half of the league seems very accurate so far.
Brandeis may have to wait until the Emory home game at Auerbach Arena to start picking up league wins, but the Judges battled hard even while down by 20 at one point in the contest.

As a Brandeis fan, I am trying to search for which UAA games can the Judges pick up 4 wins for a .500 or better record and ECAC selection eligibility. It is like trying to find a hidden immunity idol on Survivor... 😐
First time this season the Judges gave up 70 pts in a game. That is like Tufts giving up 60 pts in a game-- it equals defeat. Brandeis was 0-7 last year when the opponent scored 70. Tufts did not give up a 60 pt game last year, now they have given up 2, 0-2 in those games. Tufts went 0-3 in the 2015-16 season when the opponent scored 60 or more.
NYU scored 70+ vs Brandeis and did not even have a great game from 3 pt land. Thanks to Kayla Patterson's rebounding, the Violets did not need a great 3 pt shooting game yesterday. Next weekend, NYU won't be as fortunate.
Chicago has the offensive firepower to concede 76 pts to Wash U and still win the game. Next weekend, both Chicago and Wash U are at home, where the expectation is for both teams to hold serve, but it will be interesting in a few weeks when Rochester plays their 2 weekends against Chicago and Wash U.

2.). Kayla Patterson had 19 rebounds, 13 of them off the offensive glass and scored 23 pts in 34 min of action. I cannot remember the last time an opposing player vs Brandeis had that outstanding of a rebounding performance in a UAA contest. Brandeis lost the rebounding battle by 27, and I can't remember the last time this happened to the Judges in a UAA contest. This will be a good indication of what both NYU and Brandeis will face this upcoming weekend in the Midwest because....
3.). Olariche Obi of Chicago had 17 rebounds, 11 of them off the offensive glass, in just 17 min of action vs Wash U. Obi had foul trouble, collecting 4 personal fouls in the contest, and had to sit for a lot of the game.

True. If they stay out of the Top 25 long enough, Hope will pass them for the most times ranked all-time.
Though I'm probably the only person who cares about that.

It is always an exciting and surprising point in the season. The midway point. We are already halfway through another thrilling Division III basketball season. The best part, we have plenty more basketball to come. The hard part, we are also closer to the season coming to a close.
On Thursday night's Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com), Dave will try and pull out his crystal ball and read the tea leaves on who can sustain their momentum, who may fall off, and which teams could make a run to the end. While we won't have all the answers, some of Dave's guests will be able to give us their insight on their own squad's chances.
Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch the show LIVE starting at 7pm here: http://bit.ly/2D3pOrw.
A reminder the Thursday edition of Hoopsville primarily covers the East, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, and West regions, but we will answer any questions about all of Division III throughout the show. You can also send your questions to the show and have them featured on the Hoopsville Mailbag segment. Email them to hoopsville@d3hoops.com.
Guests include (in order of appearance):
- Matt Croci, No. 10 Wittenberg men's coach
- Jim Scheible, No. 7 Rochester women's coach
- Lori Kerans, Millikin women's coach (WBCA Center Court)
- Danny Young-Uhrich, No. 17 Juniata women's
- Pat McKenzie, No. 15 St. John's men's coach

No question about Rochester winning tonight. Rochester up 31-2 over Case at the end of the first quarter. It is confirmed now that Case senior Kara Hageman sustained a season ending injury during a scrimmage in the preseason. Case looks like they will not finish with a .500 or better mark this year.
After quarter 1 in Atlanta, Emory up 19-11 over Carnegie Mellon.

Points of note from the first half in St Louis:
1.). I like the way Brandeis has been playing defense. Wash U only 2-11 from 3 pt land in the first half, while Brandeis made 5-10 from 3 pt land.
2.). Katie Goncalo of Brandeis leads all scorers with 13 pts. Goncalo scored 11 pts in the second quarter, which equalled Wash U's entire scoring in that period.
Goncalo has made 3 treys to Sondag's 1 and Homoly's 1 trey made. Natalie Orr did not hit a 3 in the opening half.
3.). Wash U had the advantage in free throw shooting, and out rebounded Brandeis by 1 in the first half. Brandeis is winning the turnover battle-- Wash U has 15 turnovers to Brandeis's 9.
This game is getting interesting....

washubears.com/sports/wbkb/2004-05/files/bu-wuw.htm (http://washubears.com/sports/wbkb/2004-05/files/bu-wuw.htm)
The final score then was Brandeis 59, Wash U 55. That season was the closest that the Brandeis women ever got to an outright UAA title in women's hoop. Losses by Brandeis at Rochester and NYU gave the AQ to the Bears. Brandeis went on to win an ECAC New England title that season.
In case you were wondering, the NCAA tournament that year was a field of 50-- 39 AQs, 4 Pool B, 7 Pool C.

I was looking at the box score from the USA South conf game on December 1, 2014 between NC Wesleyan and William Peace, where 124 free throws were attempted.
The NCAA has a game from 1997 between UW-Stout and Buffalo State as the listed record for most personal fouls--both teams at 68.
However, in the game from 2014, NC Wesleyan and William Peace combined for 85 personal fouls called. 77 personal fouls were called in regulation, with 8 called in the overtime period. NC Wesleyan was called for 46 fouls, 43 of them in regulation-- while William Peace was called for 39 fouls, 34 of them in regulation.
An interesting tidbit which the NCAA somehow did not put in their 2017-18 DIII Women's Basketball Record Book.
Anyway, 67 fouls called in Brandeis at Wash U on Friday is still a lot of fouls!😅

NYU has announced that Angela Vicari, the captain of the 2000-2001 NYU women's basketball team, and now a prominent lawyer in New York City, will be inducted into this year's NYU Athletics Hall of Fame:
Gonyuathletics.com/news/2018/1/17/violet-booster-club-2018-nyuathletics-hall-of-fame-class-announced.aspx (http://gonyuathletics.com/news/2018/1/17/violet-booster-club-2018-nyu-athletics-hall-of-fame-class-announced.aspx)
Congrats on the honor. Vicari and her teammates formed a great NYU team. I listened to D3HoopsNet's full audio replay (with Gordon Mann and Ray Martel on the call) of Dari Magyar's "Miracle in Manhattan" game in which NYU beat Wash U on Feb. 2, 2001, the morning after the game, as I was at Auerbach Arena, watching Brandeis lose to Chicago that day. (Brandeis did not win many games that season!). I had thought that with Wash U dominating the competition (their 81 game winning streak had just been snapped by Fontbonne, but the Bears were still winning UAA games a la UConn by at least 30 to 40 points a contest, at least...), Wash U was unstoppable in the UAA. When Brandeis coach Carol Simon broke the news that NYU had won, I was shocked. Wash U had crushed NYU by 35 in the first meeting in St. Louis that season.
A few weeks later, I cheered on Emmanuel in the NCAA tournament. Emmanuel was the best team in New England that year, and was captained by a player from my hometown. (She now coaches high school basketball in my area). I travelled to NYU to watch the Saints defeat the Violets in overtime at Coles Center in the Elite Eight. Practically every d3 fan was expecting a Wash U/NYU Round 3 in Danbury, CT at the start of the weekend.
I actually listened to Gordon Mann's call of Dari Magyar's shot this morning-- it is still that iconic to me, to this very day...

A quick report on the weekend coming up:
1.). Wash U has had great success on previous road trips to Case and Carnegie Mellon. The last Wash U loss on this road swing was in the 2012-13 season, when Wash U lost at Case Western by 4 points. To date, this is the only lifetime win for Case against Wash U. Wash U will also be carrying a 49 game win streak vs Carnegie Mellon into the weekend.
2.). Chicago last swept this road trip vs Case and Carnegie Mellon in the 2014-15 season. The Maroons have split the trip 1-1 the previous two seasons, losing at Carnegie Mellon in the 2015-16 season, and losing at Case Western last season.
3.). Rochester split the road trip at NYU and Brandeis last season, losing at NYU. Rochester last swept this road weekend in the 2015-16 season. However, the Yellowjackets have only swept this road series 3 times since 2006-07, 2 of those times came in the 2008-09 and 2011-12 seasons.
4.). Emory has not won a game at NYU or Brandeis since the 2012-13 season when the Eagles won the UAA and went to the sweet 16 of the NCAAs. However, Emory has been very competitive on this road swing the past 2 seasons, only losing these games by single digits.
Key games to focus for neutral UAA watchers:
1.). Rochester's games at Brandeis and NYU.
2.). Carnegie Mellon's home slate vs Chicago and Wash U.
To recap the records over the past 4 seasons--
1.). Wash U went 8-0 on the Case/Carnegie Mellon trip.
2.). Chicago went 6-2 on the Case/Carnegie Mellon trip.
3.). Rochester went 4-4 on the Brandeis/NYU trip.
4.). Emory went 0-8 on the Brandeis/NYU trip.
I will be at Auerbach Arena at Brandeis watching my Judges take on Rochester and Emory. With the New England Patriots playing Sunday, I will not have a ride home from Brandeis after the Emory game-- I will have to go home by commuter rail or Uber/Lyft. The person who usually drives me to the games is going to Gillette Stadium to watch the Patriots Sunday afternoon, but he has volunteered to compensate me for my Lyft ride home from Brandeis so that I am not stuck watching the Emory games on-line on Sunday.

Some other interesting stuff from Friday:
1.). Kaitlyn Read of NYU scored her 1,500th career point, and comes into Sunday's game vs Rochester 5th on NYU's all-time scoring list with 1517 career points.
2.). Hillary Hellman of CWRU (Case) became the 15th player to join Case's 1000 point club on the women's side.
3.). Carnegie Mellon freshman Kylie Huffman returned to the court for the first time since November 29, 2017, and collected 6 rebounds in 10 min of action. She was among the rookie rebounding leaders in the UAA before her undisclosed injury/illness that caused her to miss significant game action.
4.). In Friday night's game vs Carnegie Mellon, Olariche "Ola" Obi of Chicago led the Maroons in all categories with 20 pts, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals, and 3 blocked shots.
5.). For a team picked to finish seventh in the UAA in preseason, Emory is exceeding expectations. The Eagles took Rochester to double OT in the conference opener in Atlanta, and won at NYU on Friday for the first time since the 2012-13 season-- the last time Emory won at NYU, the Eagles went on to win the UAA AQ and go on to the Sweet 16 of the NCAAs. Emory can sweep the NYU/Brandeis road trip for the first time since the 2012-13 season with a win in Waltham, MA this afternoon. Before Friday, Emory had gone 0-2 on the Northeast road trip for the past 4 seasons. At 3-1, Emory now stands third in the UAA standings after 4 conference games.

This afternoon, I will be at Auerbach Arena to see Brandeis take on Emory. It should be another exciting game, and I would like to see Brandeis take 3 out of the next 5 contests to secure the .500 or better mark. Ideally, I would like the first one to be this afternoon, but Emory has played very well in Waltham the past 2 seasons, and if there was any indication that today's game was not going to be a sure thing for Brandeis, Emory's win at NYU on Friday proved it. The Eagles have out rebounded their opponents in the first 4 UAA games, so Brandeis has to be strong on the boards today. Brandeis has battled hard through UAA play so far.

Brandeis held to a season low 39 points by the Emory defense today.
Normally, I would expect Brandeis to be 1-4 at this point, given the pick for Brandeis to finish last in the UAA in preseason. The win at Wash U last week and the exciting games in the first 4 contests made me optimistic, but the injury to Noel Hodges on Friday and the subsequent loss to Emory today did not make me feel so good.😢. Hopefully next weekend will be better....

Meanwhile, the ECAC has scheduled the dates of Feb.28 and March 2-4 for the ECAC DIII Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments, but has not yet digitally made available the entry/declaration forms or the pre-championship manual for those tournaments as of today. If there is to be an ECAC Tournament this year, the declaration deadline is Friday, February 16.
Over the next 2 weekends, Carnegie Mellon, Brandeis, and NYU will battle it out in attempts to finish their seasons at .500 or better, which will make them eligible for ECAC selection.
To finish .500 or better--
1.). Brandeis needs 3 more wins.
2.). Carnegie Mellon needs 4 more wins.
3.). NYU needs 5 more wins.
NYU hosts Carnegie Mellon on Friday, and plays at Carnegie Mellon the following Friday.
Brandeis hosts Carnegie Mellon on Sunday, and then plays at Carnegie Mellon the following Sunday.
Case is also involved in this Brandeis/NYU pairing. Case is on the road this weekend, and at home the following weekend.
Update: ECAC released their pre-championship manual and declaration forms on Friday, January 26. Teams have 3 weeks to declare whether or not they want to be considered for ECACs.

Brandeis came out in the second half and did not fool around. Brandeis gets its second UAA win of the season.
Happy birthday, Brynn Lauer. 2 FT in the final seconds to beat Wash U after giving the Bears a chance to win it at the end. UR made the successful stop, and Layer went 2-2 from the line after going 0-2 the last time out on the FT line. Rochester wins, 69-65.
NYU and Chicago won comfortably.

Brandeis won on Alumni Day, completing the Sunday home sweep for the Judges.
Brandeis defeated Carnegie Mellon, 55-52, today.
NYU beat Case by 42, while Wash U won at Emory.
Chicago women now lead the UAA as a result of their upset win at Rochester.
Tomorrow, I will have to watch the archived version on demand of that game on Univ. of Rochester's streaming service. I don't have time to watch it tonight with Hoopsville now.
PS-- when d-mac interviewed Coach Carissa Sain-Knoche earlier this season, he seemed to me to really like this Chicago women's team. I privately asked him if he was picking Chicago to win the UAA, but he was very careful not to confirm that.
Well, Chicago now has a 1 game lead over Rochester with home court advantage for next weekend's rematch.

How many of them will go? I know Carnegie Mellon has gone in the past, but the ECAC tournament is becoming less and less popular even as the ECAC changes how dues work to entice more participants. Personally: it is only a matter of time before the ECAC is now more in DIII.

D-mac:
Perhaps in a few years the ECAC will become extinct at the DIII level. I do not really know for certain.
I still believe that the UAA will support the ECAC until then. At the moment, it seems that most of the ECAC 15 team field in both men's and women's basketball will come from the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, IMO.
Should the ECAC cease to exist at the DIII level, there is still the situation of the UAA not having a league tournament in basketball due to geographic distance. (At least 1000 miles from end to end). Even the UAA is probably not going to pay for charter flights for teams just to have a league tournament for basketball-- as much as it would be fun to have 4 to 8 teams play at a neutral site for an AQ in the final week-- a lot would have to change regarding whether or not the UAA would have to sell tickets at d1 prices ($25 to $30) to make it worthwhile (currently the UAA does not charge for its women's volleyball tourney-- the only team sport in the UAA which gives its AQ to the winner of the tournament-- although each team in the UAA Women's Volleyball tourney is guaranteed 3 games.)

BTW--
What D-mac is saying on Hoopsville now about Rochester having an off-night today, and the note from the Rochester SID confirming it is entirely true. I just saw the archived video replay of the game just before airtime (I paid for the monthly subscription), and the student commentators on the feed said that Lena Ethington of Rochester was in concussion protocol and did not play today as a result. Chicago won all 4 quarters, which you would not expect.
Hopefully, the rematch next Sunday will be more exciting.
Update-- I listened to d-mac on Hoopsville talk about the game. I initially thought that the person sending the pm about the game was the Rochester SID, but upon further thought, I would not have been surprised if JC DeLass of WYSL 92.1 FM in Rochester sent that message about the Rochester women having an off-game vs Chicago. He has been very reliable about d3 sports and the UAA in the past, and is a former d3hoops.com reporter for the East region.

Primary reasons a team may not be interested in ECAC--
1.). Strain on athletic budget. Teams have to be willing to travel great distances for Wednesday night games and for the final rounds. Each team gets a small stipend for the weekend rounds, but must pay the rest of the costs.
2.). Tournament must be completed by the Sunday after Selection Monday per NCAA rules. A team may have to win 4 games in 5 days to win the ECACs.

There are a lot more reasons for ECAC has fallen out in the area... first off, you mentioned 15 teams in last year's event. It has gotten smaller and smaller. ECAC tried to get permission to run a multi-week tournament... it was denied, not surprisingly, by the NCAA.
Also, the yearly dues were twice as much as the NEW NCAA dues and schools basically get nothing for them. You mention a stipend, but it is a joke. Schools basically have to pay for everything in the post season whether they are traveling or hosting - more schools rather not host any more.
Great example of the ECAC being completely off... when they introduced the new one-site for ECAC football bowls (you know, in the one sport there wasn't a problem), they told schools they would pay for transportation ... BUT schools had to buy 300 tickets for the game. There was the transportation costs.
ECAC has now trying to save DIII, even though they have basically lost all of hockey as well. They have allowed a sport-by-sport dues fee just to try and entice people to stay involved, yet more schools tell me they are done. I don't blame them. ECAC stopped paying attention to DIII a number of years ago and their stop-gaps to save themselves have been less than impressive and far too late.

I read the article a few days ago. I do agree that Coach Fahey and Coach Henderson run different types of offenses, but I would not characterize Coach Nancy Fahey's offense as "set". Fahey ran motion off-the-ball and had her teams execute it extremely well. Henderson's motion offense is the "read and react" style motion offense, where the team reads the defense and reacts to whatever the defense sets up.

BTW--
What D-mac is saying on Hoopsville now about Rochester having an off-night today, and the note from the Rochester SID confirming it is entirely true. I just saw the archived video replay of the game just before airtime (I paid for the monthly subscription), and the student commentators on the feed said that Lena Ethington of Rochester was in concussion protocol and did not play today as a result. Chicago won all 4 quarters, which you would not expect.
Hopefully, the rematch next Sunday will be more exciting.
Update-- I listened to d-mac on Hoopsville talk about the game. I initially thought that the person sending the pm about the game was the Rochester SID, but upon further thought, I would not have been surprised if JC DeLass of WYSL 92.1 FM in Rochester sent that message about the Rochester women having an off-game vs Chicago. He has been very reliable about d3 sports and the UAA in the past, and is a former d3hoops.com reporter for the East region.
Interesting how many teams have "off days" when Chicago comes to town. They have an aggressive defensive style that really messes teams up and speeds them up out of their comfort zone. Their 14-game winning streak is testament to that.

Yet, Brandeis was able to lead by 2 at Chicago going into the 4th quarter before the Maroons pulled out the win. Even if a Chicago fan was expecting a win at the Palestra on Sunday, the Chicago/Rochester game was expected to play out more like the Brandeis at Chicago game-- strong 1st quarter by Chicago, Rochester adjusting in the middle, and Chicago pulling it out in the end. Not complete domination by Chicago throughout.
If you heard Dave McHugh interview both coach Carissa Sain-Knoche and coach Jim Scheible on Hoopsville earlier this season, listen to his reaction following each interview. From what I heard from him-- give all respect to Rochester, but d-mac really loved Chicago and where that team was headed.
All due respect to the seniors of Rochester, but I felt like Chicago was the more complete team going into UAA play with respect to getting major contributions from both seniors and underclassmen.
BTW, my pick for UAA Rookie of the year halfway through is Marissa Igunbor of Chicago, although I also love the poise of Camila Casanueva from my own Brandeis Judges.

Yeah, and I have a bit of a quibble with that, since #17 IWU (same record) BEAT Chicago AT Chicago BY 19! Granted it was over two months ago (hence 'a bit of a quibble'), but still! Chicago is on a roll and deserves their ranking, but IWU is also on a roll and should be a slot or two higher than UC.

Chicago is at 243 pts in the poll-- Illinois Wesleyan is at 241 pts.
Illinois Wesleyan is highest ranked CCIW team in the Top 25 poll, with no other CCIW team receiving votes.
In November--
Illinois Wesleyan won at Chicago by 21, but lost to Wash U on a neutral floor by 8 the following week.
Since then--
Both Chicago and Brandeis, along with Austin, then went on to win at Wash U.

Big home weekend for the Wash U women as they attempt to defend home court against #11 Rochester and Emory. Rochester coach Jim Scheible will attempt to get his 4th ever victory at the Wash U Field House in a weekend which Rochester may have to go 2-0 on the road if they want to win the UAA AQ.
Wash U, on the other hand, needs to go 2-0 at home this weekend to strengthen their Pool C chances.

Brandeis plays at Case tonight-- a Brandeis win clinches eligibility to be selected for ECACs.
Another interesting note: Pfeiffer (NC), who is reclassifying to DIII from DII and is in their first year of four going through the reclassification process to become a DIII full member, became the 108th DIII member of the ECAC on November 15, 2017, and can compete for the ECAC Women's Basketball title this season. Pfeiffer women are currently 13-2 vs DIII teams and I believe that they have already clinched their .500 or better record. Look for Pfeiffer to be on the declared list on Feb. 17.
In their release announcing ECAC membership, Pfeiffer specifically mentioned our 3 UAA schools who are in the ECAC-- Brandeis, Carnegie Mellon, and NYU:
Pfeiffer joins ECAC; Eligible to Compete in Postseason Tournaments Starting This Year (http://gofalconsports.com/general/2017-18/releases/20171115nts9xl)
Update for clarification: According to the ECAC website, there are currently 107 DIII schools who are members of the ECAC. Hamilton is not one of them, despite what the Pfeiffer release stated.

The Wash-U win over Rochester was significant not only for the boost in Pool C chances, but it also showed the team that it can play at an NCAA Tournament level of excellence. I think at times, with the adjustments made by first-year head coach Randi Henderson, the ladies lost sight of that...at least subliminally speaking.
What has been most impressive as of late has been the Bears' defensive and rebounding zeal. Last night, Wash-U held Rochester to a microscopic 1-22 from 3-point range...4.5%. Overall, the Yellowjackets didn't have much sting in their offense...held to 30% overall shooting (19-63). Lauren Deming was taken totally out of the flow of the game, and eventually fouled out with no points after entering the game with a 14+ ppg average. Alexandra Leslie had to battle double-teams constantly, and worked extremely hard to get 12 points, 2 points under her season average. And, Rochester only had 13 assists...as Wash-U forced it to take several poor shots deep in the shot clock.
Now, with an hour-earlier start to the Sunday games at the Fieldhouse, Wash-U will have to demonstrate its ability to quickly refuel as Emory comes to town.

Chicago's NCAA situation--
Chicago has a 3 game lead in the UAA standings with 5 left to play.
If Chicago sweeps next weekend's trip at NYU and Brandeis, they will assure themselves of at least a co-championship in the UAA and can clinch the AQ on Sunday by wrapping up all tiebreaker scenarios--
Chicago will have swept Rochester, NYU, Brandeis, and Emory-- clinching the tiebreaker on subsequent finishers. Wash U split with Rochester and can only split with Brandeis.
Chicago has already beaten Wash U once.
Chicago will have gone 7-0 on the road in the UAA, clinching the road game tiebreaker.
3 wins in the next 5 games gives Chicago the UAA title and AQ outright.

RIP, Nancy Funk. As one of the original UAA Women's Basketball coaches, you will be sorely missed. I send my condolences to the family of Nancy Funk on her passing.
My her memory ever be for a blessing.

Automatic qualifier scenario--
Chicago clinches at least a UAA co-championship and the AQ with a sweep this weekend at NYU and Brandeis. Chicago will have the AQ with a road sweep this weekend because Chicago will have clinched all potential tiebreaker scenarios.
(1) Chicago's sweep over Rochester gives Chicago the edge on subsequent finisher tiebreaker if Chicago and Wash U end up tied for first.
(2). A 3 way tie for first between Chicago, Wash U, and Rochester gives Chicago the AQ by better head to head record.
(3). Chicago swept Rochester in head to head in case of a 2 way tie for first between these two teams.
(4). Chicago will have also gone 7-0 in UAA road game play.

I just knew that it was going to be one of those days when I did not see either Brandeis co-captain Noel Hodges or her family in the building yesterday.
It turned out that she is currently suffering flu-like symptoms and stayed in bed all day yesterday.
Upon seeing that, I knew that it was going to be one of those days....😅 Glad to see the kids, Harper and Zeke Henderson, in the house last night.
Wash U set the single game UAA record for most 3's made with 16 made treys last night.

With the win last night at NYU, Chicago is now 1 win away from clinching the first spot in the 2017-18 NCAA DIII Women's basketball tournament.
The situation:
1.). Chicago is 3-0 vs Rochester and Wash U with 1 game vs Wash U to be played.
2.). Rochester is 1-3 vs Chicago and Wash U-- final mark.
3.). Wash U is 1-2 vs Rochester and Chicago with 1 game vs Chicago to be played.
4.). Chicago swept Rochester head to head.
A win vs Brandeis on Sunday clinches all potential tiebreaking scenarios in favor of Chicago-- Chicago would finish 7-0 in UAA road games. As a result, Chicago will clinch the first Pool A bid of the season with a win tomorrow.

There will be a new ECAC DIII Women's Basketball champion this year as Carnegie Mellon was officially eliminated from ECAC consideration today.

Chasing perfection--
In the entire history of the UAA, there have been only 6 times that a UAA women's basketball team won the UAA with a perfect season in UAA play--
1989-90: Wash U-- 14-0 (Johns Hopkins and Case Western Reserve only played a single round robin and were not eligible for UAA title)
1998-99: Wash U-- 14-0 (Same scenario as 1989-90)
1999-2000: Wash U-- 15-0 (Johns Hopkins only played a single round robin and was not eligible for UAA title)
Johns Hopkins left the UAA at the conclusion of the 2000-01 season.
2001-02: Wash U-- 14-0
2010-11: Chicago-- 14-0
2011-12: Chicago-- 14-0
This season, Chicago is attempting to go perfect in UAA play for the third time in program history and 7th time overall.

On Sunday, Chicago clinched a share of the UAA title and clinched the first automatic bid to the DIII Women's Basketball Tournament by owning a head to head sweep over Rochester-- the only other team who has a shot of getting a share of the UAA title.
Chicago currently has a 3 game lead over Rochester with 3 games to play. A Chicago win this weekend secures the outright UAA title for the Maroons.
Rochester and Wash U are playing for Pool C consideration.
Having clinched .500 or better records and eligibility for ECAC selection, Brandeis and NYU are playing to improve their chances of being picked for the ECAC tournament.
Emory needs 1 win to finish above .500 for the season.
Case and Carnegie Mellon are guaranteed to finish under .500

Obi has a good case for both POY and DPOY. She is the most important cog in the machine that is Chicago's defense that was best in the league. Her rebounding is second to none for a team that lacks height, and she's one of the conference's leaders in steals while playing in the paint.

I also thought of Kaitlyn Read for both POY and DPOY, as she did receive the DPOY award in a previous season, and did lead the UAA in steals per game as well. I was a little leery of voting 1 or 2 players to share both of these honors, but the coaches may see it your way, blue_jays.
I thought of Obi as a great offensive rebounder, not just a great rebounder.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Camila Casanueva of Brandeis earn Rookie of the Year, but she earned it. Without her perfomances this season, Brandeis would not be playing tonight. Her play in the first two UAA games makesvme very proud of her.
Camila Casanueva becomes the second Brandeis women's basketball player to be named UAA Rookie of the Year; Jaime Capra earned the honor in 2005.
Kaitlyn Read of NYU is very deserving of the honors she earned today.
In addition, I would like to congratulate both Kaitlyn Read and Alexandra Leslie in becoming Jostens Trophy Finalists.

Congratulations to WashU head coach Randi Henderson on reaching 200 wins for her career! #200 came at NYU last night, as the Bears posted a 76-61 victory.
This team is becoming very dangerous. I thought the Bears would be UAA contenders and NCAA Tourney applicants, but injuries and illnesses late in the non-conference portion of the season threatened to derail their hopes. Henderson has done a fantastic job IMOH of getting the ship patched up and sailing nicely, after the 66-36 loss to then #3 St. Thomas. Instead of a psychological free-fall, Randi has been able to boost the team into a tie for first place in the UAA standings.
Long outlet passes in transition has produced some easy baskets and opponent fatigue in the Bears' 5-game winning streak; an inside-out approach to the offense has benefited both Madeline Homoly (27p/13r last night, 22.2 ppg in the last 5 games) and Rachael Sondag (9-20 from 3-point range in the last 4 games, 45%) has seemingly not had as much pressure to carry the team in scoring, and it has benefited her 3pt%. Improved bench scoring and depth in the last 5 games has also been a boon to the Bears' recent success...with a 30-4 bench advantage vs. NYU last night, and a 170-54 edge over the last 5 games.
WashU has to keep this roll going with a win at Brandeis tomorrow to ensure at least a tie atop the UAA standings with Case...since Case comes to WashU next Sunday after Carnegie Mellon's visit next Friday.

WashU was taken to the last second or so before it could get a much-needed road win Friday night.
With the Bears leading 60-58, Kristina Schmelter blocked a game-tying shot from Makayla Filiere with 5 seconds left, and Madeline Homoly got the ball and was fouled. Homoly made one out of two free throws for a 61-58 lead, then the Bears had a foul to give and gave it with one second left. Carnegie Mellon couldn't get a shot to the basket and WashU took the win in Pittsburgh.
Caroline Ballard has been exceptional in the past six games, averaging 11.5 ppg. Last night, she enjoyed posting a career-high 20 points on 5-5 shooting from beyond the arc. She also shared the rebounding lead with Homoly by grabbing 7 boards. Homoly had 13 points, and Schmelter had 8 points and 5 rebounds off the bench.
Tough result to take for Carnegie Mellon, who played a 2-3 zone with fantastic lateral movement. WashU found it much tougher to score last night than the previous Friday in St. Louis. Tartans made it especially difficult to lob entry passes to Homoly, and the Bears shot a lot of errant 3s over the zone (5-19, 26%). The Bears were able to get to the free throw line 18 times, making 14. Carnegie Mellon was only 5 for 9 from the charity stripe, as the Bears weren't very charitable after all.
Points off turnovers were heavily in WashU's favor: 13-4. Bears get credit for shutting off opportunities to score points off of their 12 turnovers...a paltry ratio of 0.33 points from each turnover. WashU got a much better exchange rate, 13 points from 13 Tartan turnovers.
Wash-U maintains a 2-game lead in the UAA: Bears 8-0, Chicago 6-2, Emory 5-3, Case 4-4. WashU has a dangerous game Sunday at Case, where there are veteran scorers aplenty on the Spartans' side. It can't afford to be sleepy in Cleveland...

What a weekend!
It was one of those sets of days we have seen often in Division III where at every turn there was something to watch, a result to ponder, and upset to breakdown. The hardwoods across the country had games worth watching all with just three weeks left in the regular season.
It started with Dave and Pat's trip to Holland, Michigan to witness the 200th meeting of Calvin and Hope. The game at DeVos Fieldhouse lived up to expectations. From the crowd to the battle on the court, every moment was a thrill ride.
And the Super Weekend didn't stop there. A number of teams in both Top 25s took losses that not only will shake up the polls, but also shakes up conferences races and adds plenty of intrigue for the first Regional Rankings to be released this week. Oh, and a 200-point explosion from a high-powered offense!
On this special, Monday, edition of Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com), Dave and guests have plenty to try and breakdown. Dave will share his reactions from "The Rivalry" and you will hear one of the crazier stories on how a mom names a son. Plus, hear about the Greenville-Fontbonne game which saw 346 points put on the board. And coaches from Hamilton men and East Texas Baptist women along with one of the top players for WashU women give us insight on how their teams are doing.
Ryan Scott also joins Dave as they give their initial reactions to the latest Top 25 polls and more.
Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com) is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Monday's show can be see LIVE here: http://bit.ly/2UGhZw2 (and simulcast on Facebook Live and Periscope).
If you have questions about Division III basketball, feel free to send them and we will answer them on a the show. Email them to dave.mchugh@d3sports.com or use any of the social media options to the right.
Guests Schedule (order subject to change):
- George Barber, Greenville men's head coach
- Adam Stockwell, No. 8 Hamilton
- Becca Clark-Callender, WashU. women's senior guard
- "What Is In a Name?," Dina Hackert, Hope '91
- Rusty Rainbolt, No. 15 East Texas Baptist women's coach
- Ryan Scott, D3hoops.com senior writer (Top 25 Double-Take)

It was one of those sets of days we have seen often in Division III where at every turn there was something to watch, a result to ponder, and upset to breakdown. The hardwoods across the country had games worth watching all with just three weeks left in the regular season.
It started with Dave and Pat's trip to Holland, Michigan to witness the 200th meeting of Calvin and Hope. The game at DeVos Fieldhouse lived up to expectations. From the crowd to the battle on the court, every moment was a thrill ride.
And the Super Weekend didn't stop there. A number of teams in both Top 25s took losses that not only will shake up the polls, but also shakes up conferences races and adds plenty of intrigue for the first Regional Rankings to be released this week. Oh, and a 200-point explosion from a high-powered offense!
On this special, Monday, edition of Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com), Dave and guests have plenty to try and breakdown. Dave will share his reactions from "The Rivalry" and you will hear one of the crazier stories on how a mom names a son. Plus, hear about the Greenville-Fontbonne game which saw 346 points put on the board. And coaches from Hamilton men and East Texas Baptist women along with one of the top players for WashU women give us insight on how their teams are doing.
Ryan Scott also joins Dave as they give their initial reactions to the latest Top 25 polls and more.
Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com) is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Monday's show can be see LIVE here: http://bit.ly/2UGhZw2 (and simulcast on Facebook Live and Periscope).

Before they begin their final road games of the season Friday night, the WashU Bears were able to get a convincing 81-62 road win at Case-Western Reserve last Sunday. As a result, the Bears extended their winning streak to 10 games, and they moved up to #21 in the WBCA Top 25 poll. And, most importantly, WashU maintained its two-game lead in the UAA standings over Chicago.
The Bears' offense has certainly been impressive in the 10-game winning streak, averaging over 80 ppg. But, what is becoming just as impressive is their team defense. They held hosts Carnegie Mellon and Case to 58 and 62 points respectively last weekend; and in the winning streak, the highest opponent FG% in a game was Case's 42% in an 82-79 WashU victory. Last Sunday at Case, the Bears held the Spartans to 34% overall shooting and 29% 3-point shooting...against a team that at one point was averaging 74 points/game to lead the UAA.
What was also impressive was the Bears' ability to limit offensive output from Hillary Hellmann (9 points on 4-15 shooting) and Kendall McConico (4 points on 2-7 shooting). Kara Hageman had an impressive performance (22p/13r/3bk), but the Bears had an edge in points off turnovers (12-5) and overall rebounding (51-38). The rebounding edge has also translated into fast-break points with the Bears enjoying an 11-2 advantage.
So...WashU embarks on the marathon-distance road swing to Emory and then to Rochester. The Eagles will dig in their heels, since they are on the verge of UAA title elimination with a 6-3 conference record. Rochester has struggled this season, but it will be keen on getting its chance to damage WashU's title hopes Sunday morning. One step at a time is the rule of the evening Friday, the way the 10-game winning streak has been built.

Congrats to WashU for reaching the Elite Eight with a lockdown defensive victory over Mary Hardin-Baylor! The 46 points allowed to UMHB was the second-lowest opponent point total of the season. The Bears limited The Cru to 29% shooting, and a combined 15 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. The icing on the victory cake? A decisive 17-1 edge in points off turnovers!
Equally impressive was the performance of the WashU bench! Kristina Schmelter led all scorers with 14 points, Samantha Weaver and Katie Claussner each had 8, as the Bears' bench outscored UMHB's 34-18.
In its last two games, WashU has taken down #8 George Fox and #12 UMHB. Let's finish the Beat the Top 15 Trifecta with a win over #1 Thomas More tonight!

As part of my prep for Scranton's game against Thomas More, I watched a replay of their Wash U game. Wash U has a very good team, playing T-M even up into the 4th quarter.
WUPHF,
Becca-Callendar played very well. I can see now why u were pleased with her play. I hadn't seen that ability when I watched her during her AAU days.

It might be early in the 2019-20 season, but there are already big games being played, surprising results, and teams off to tremendous starts. It isn't even Thanksgiving ... yet.
We start prepping for the big day of Turkey by stuffing ourselves full of DIII basketball topics on Thursday's show. We talk retirement and coaching changes (since we didn't really talk about that Sunday), plus several teams have caught our attention for how they have started their campaigns.
On Thursday night's show, Dave chats with NYU women who are undefeated and defeated Stevens in their last time on the court. We also chat with Carthage men who knocked off the defending national champions recently. Plus, the dean of Division III coaching decided days before the season began to hang up the jacket. F&M's Glenn Robinson talks about why he decided to retire within distance of 1,000 wins.
And what should we expect on the women's side of things this season. D3hoops.com Senior Editor Gordon Mann joins the show to take a deep dive into the Top 25 and things he has seen in the first two weeks of the season.
Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com) is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Thursday's show LIVE in the video player above starting at 7:00 p.m. ET. An audio-only podcast will also be available on the right side of the page shortly after the show is off the air.
If you have questions about Division III basketball, feel free to send them and we will answer them on a the show. Email them to hoopsville@d3hoops.com or use any of the social media options to the right.

It might be early in the 2019-20 season, but there are already big games being played, surprising results, and teams off to tremendous starts. It isn't even Thanksgiving ... yet.
We start prepping for the big day of Turkey by stuffing ourselves full of DIII basketball topics on Thursday's show. We talk retirement and coaching changes (since we didn't really talk about that Sunday), plus several teams have caught our attention for how they have started their campaigns.
On Thursday night's show, Dave chats with NYU women who are undefeated and defeated Stevens in their last time on the court. We also chat with Carthage men who knocked off the defending national champions recently. Plus, the dean of Division III coaching decided days before the season began to hang up the jacket. F&M's Glenn Robinson talks about why he decided to retire within distance of 1,000 wins.
And what should we expect on the women's side of things this season. D3hoops.com Senior Editor Gordon Mann joins the show to take a deep dive into the Top 25 and things he has seen in the first two weeks of the season.
Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com) is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch Thursday's show LIVE in the video player above starting at 7:00 p.m. ET. An audio-only podcast will also be available on the right side of the page shortly after the show is off the air.
If you have questions about Division III basketball, feel free to send them and we will answer them on a the show. Email them to hoopsville@d3hoops.com or use any of the social media options to the right.
Guests Schedule (order subject to change):
- Bosko Djurickovic, Carthage men's coach
- Glenn Robinson, former F&M men's coach
- Meg Barber, NYU women's head coach
- Gordon Mann, D3hoops.com Senior Editor

Just wanted to give a shout out to JayBird on the quality call of Saturday's IWU/DePauw game.
This is one of the best recurring events in the early part of the D3 season, and your call made it better.
Nice job!

I agree excellent play by play and as a parent of one of the freshman on Rhit his encouraging play by play and not belittling was appreciated.

Thank you both for your compliments! I think that DePauw/Illinois Wesleyan game might turn out to be one of the best in D3 this season. RHIT is very young with 70% of its roster freshmen (7 out of 10), which beats WashU's 58% freshman percentage (10 out of 17). Looking at the high school accomplishments of RHIT's freshmen, I gotta believe that they will be competing for a conference crown very soon, perhaps as early as next season. No belittling needed...and besides, it's generally bad form to do, IMO.
Back in action today and tomorrow with the McWilliams Classic tournament...Hendrix vs. nationally-ranked Claremont-Mudd-Scripps at 5:00, and Wash-U vs. Greenville at 7:00 today. Tomorrow, Hendrix vs. Greenville at 5:00, and WashU vs. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps at 7:00.

WashU finished a very successful McWilliams Classic by toppling Claremont-Mudd-Scripps from the ranks of the unbeaten. Last night, the Bears prevailed 67-52, to put themselves in a position to return to one or both of the national Top 25 polls. WashU is now 5-2, while CMS (#21 in the WBCA poll/#25 d3hoops.com) falls to 6-1 (losing for only the second time in its last 28 games)
WashU played its best defense of the season, limiting CMS to 5 of 37 shooting for 13.5% in the first half, and 18-69 for 26% for the game. The Bears led 17-4 after one quarter and 28-14 at halftime. Meanwhile, the WashU offense went to work inside the paint, outscoring the Athenas 32-20...and the Bears also outscored CMS 23-9 from the free throw line.
What was perhaps most impressive of all, is that the young Bears didn't commit a string of consecutive turnovers that would've given CMS momentum and a chance for a big comeback. WashU committed 23 turnovers, but CMS only got 17 points from them. And, more often than not, when CMS did get a bucket from a turnover, WashU answered with a basket on the other end to keep the comeback lid sealed shut.
Samantha Weaver scored a career-high 18 points and pulled down 9 rebounds, and she won the Jacqueline Bickel Schapp MVP Award as the top player in the tournament. Freshman Sammi Matoush reached the all-tournament team had her first double-double, with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Kristina Schmelter added 12 points and Isabelle Hren had 9. CMS had only one player in double figures, with Kate Parrish tallying 11 points and 10 rebounds. Parrish and Lindsey Cleary entered the weekend each averaging 13.2 points per game, but they were held to a combined total of 15 last night.
The 10 WashU freshmen are growing up fast, just in time to ring out the old year and bring in the new. They host Westminster on the 18th, and then play in the Wartburg holiday tournament December 29-30...against #13 UW-LaCrosse in the first round and possibly #8 Wartburg in the final round. From there, UAA play begins January 11th at home vs. Chicago (#23 WBCA/#24 d3hoops.com). Could be a remarkable season...it certainly will be a fun one!

NYU at Brooklyn on Youtube tonight on the Brooklyn College Bulldogs channel.
Game coverage set to start at 4:30 PM Eastern.
It will be good to see Cuffee and Shelton on the Roku TV tonight.
Update-- Essentially, this YouTube live stream is of the game camera feed of the game with no sound. Hard to see the jersey numbers.o
At 5:17 PM, the game sound has been turned on.
Looks like the shot clock is still malfunctioning, so the scorers table is counting down the shot clock.
NYU leading 19-15 after 1st quarter. PA announcer explaining the shot clock problem on the video feed.
Note: NYU first yr student Brooklyn Shelton is only one of 2 d3 players stil perfect from the charity stripe coming into today. The other is Cailin Harrington from Tufts.
NYU up 34-31 at halftime. Shelton yet to get to the FT line today.

Shelton 2-2 from the line today so far. Now 29-29 on the season. Some fan sitting down blocked the view of the first shot falling in on the game video.
Brooklyn leading NYU, 44-43, with 4:49 left in third quarter.
Brooklyn leading 48-47 with 1:49 left in third quarter. No working shot clock in building, so the table is announcing shot clock time. NYU being held way below their scoring average.
After 3 quarters, NYU leads 50-48.
Big 4th quarter for NYU. NYU wins, 73-56. I wil have to wait for the box score to be posted on line. After yesterday's Swarthmore men's game, the camera feed of today's Brooklyn/NYU Game left a little to be desired, especially.since their video feed a few weeks earlier of Brooklyn vs Cabrini seemed to have a better camera operator.

Edited for clarity-- Katie Foos is also a nursing major at NYU Meyers College of Nursing.
Lauren Koyama and Janean Cuffee are also excellent 3 pt shooters, BTW.
Annie Barrett leads NYU with the assists, but the entire team can work the ball.

Watching NYU vs RPI right now.
NYU's Brooklyn Shelton went 4-4 from the FT line in the first half, and is now 33-33 on the season from the charity stripe. In the second half, Shelton did not go to the line, so she will enter UAA play still perfect from the charity stripe on the season.
Cailin Harrington of Tufts did not go to the FT line yesterday, so she is still 27-27 from the charity stripe through 11 games, still barely on the list as she average 2.5 ppg from the line when rounded up.
Final-- NYU 77, RPI 56. NYU finishes non-conference play at 10-1.
One more non conference game for Rochester on Tuesday vs RIT.
Monday morning update-- In the game vs RPI, NYU got a technical foul in the 1st quarter after a 30 second timeout with 4:42 remaining in the quarter for having too many players on the court coming out of the timeout.

Matchday 1 about to get underway. I am watching Brandeis at NYU on NYU's s Sidearm Stats video stream. This should be a great contest.
Brandeis with their usual starting five, while NYU makes 1 change, as Jenny Walker gets the start, with Brooklyn Shelton expected to come off the bench.

NYU leading 38-26 at halftime.
Defenses of both teams came out strong, with NYU starting to pick up the pace about 5 minutes into the game. Brandeis led 15-14 after 1 quarter, but NYU had a strong 24-11 second quarter to take a comfortable halftime lead.
Brooklyn Shelton 2-2 from the charity stripe in the first half-- now 35-35 on the season from the FT line.
Cuffee and Shelton combined for 23 of NYU's 38 points.

NYU gets the first win of the UAA season 76-65 over Brandeis. The Judges were able to cut the deficit to 2, but could get no closer.
Brandeis won the 3rd quarter 20-11, but NYU responded with a 27-19 advantage in the final period.
Brooklyn Shelton's perfect FT streak ended at 37 with 42 seconds remaining in the game. This is a new NYU program record as Jessica McEntee started her season a decade ago with 27 FT made without a miss. Shelton is now 38-39 from the line on the season.

Key departures from Wash U women's basketball team--
It was announced on the Wash U Sports Network in the women's pregame yesterday that the following players left the team for personal reasons and are no longer on the active roster:
1.). Isabelle Hren-- Started all 11 non conference games
2.) Mary Bryggman
A side note: I think that this will be the year that Wash U fails to make the NCAAs. This is the youngest side that I have ever seen in Wash U. The last time that Chicago beat Wash U, the Bears finished 9-5 in the UAA. A repeat of that would put the Bears at 16-9, not good enough for a Pool C bid. I honestly do not see the Bears going 11-2 down the stretch, the minimum needed to be a UAA Co-Champion with a shot at the AQ.

I will be at Brandeis today to watch the game vs Emory.
Congrats to CWRU on Friday on getting their second ever lifetime win against Wash U.
Rochester's leading scorer and rebounder this season, Julianna Okoniewski, was injured early on in Friday's game while trying to defend against Brandeis's first made basket of the contest. She went to the trainer's table with an apparent ankle sprain and did not return. Friday's contest became a battle of the benches, with a strong FT performance by Brandeis in the fourth quarter !heading to the Brandeis victory. Brandeis snapped an 8 game UAA losing streak dating back to last season on Friday. The win was also Brandeis's first win at Auerbach Arena vs Rochester since 2014, as the Yellowjackets had taken the previous 5 Waltham contests.

I wouldn't sleep on WashU just yet. Let's see if the Bears' win at Carnegie Mellon to stop a 4-game slide gets parlayed into a jump to UAA contention in their next 4 games...all at home.
Yes, WashU has had some struggles this year with the loss of a lot of seniors, and bringing in 10 freshmen. But, getting a Sleepy Sunday UAA win on the road may be the tonic that the ladies need to take their game up a level or two.
A couple of developments are encouraging: First, the return of Hayley Semple from a lengthy injury has added a degree of tenacity on defense and a slasher to the basket on offense. Both are needed ingredients in the 4th quarter of games when WashU arguably has had its biggest challenges.
Second, the emergence of Maya Arnott has been noted and very much appreciated. Maya hails from NYC where she averaged over 20 points and 20 rebounds per game in both her junior and senior years of high school basketball. She plays with a competitive sneer much like Jaimie McFarlin did during WashU's 2009-10 national championship run. So far, Maya is shooting 71% from the floor (20-28). Not enough attempts yet to qualify for the UAA lead, but enough to show that she is embracing her chance to be a vital cog in WashU's success. Had 16 points and 8 rebounds in 19 minutes vs. Carnegie Mellon last Sunday. Her 5.1 ppg and 2.7 rpg in 8.0 min/game translates to 25.5 points and 13.5 rebounds per 40 minutes so far in her freshman season. Will it continue? We shall see.
Also wanted to give a tip of the hat to Brandeis Head Coach Carol Simon. She has turned around a team that was 7-17 last season to its current 11-3 record entering Friday night. Fantastic work by her and her coaching staff!

The Wash U freshmen starters love to shoot the 3 pointer. Opposing UAA teams have taken 81 3 pt attempts in the first 3 games vs Brandeis (making 17 of them), while the 3 point shooting of the Judges has dried up in conference play so far, with only 8 of 41 3 pt shots made by Brandeis in the first 3 UAA games. Brandeis has to do better than 19 percent from 3 pt land to have any shot of winning this weekend. The 3 pt shooting was better in non conference play-- just a matter of transferring it to conference play.
I do like the Brandeis FT shooting-- over 80 percent from the charity stripe per game in the first 3 UAA games.
I also like Brandeis's bench production-- very influential in the win vs Rochester.
The last time Wash U lost to CWRU, the Bears finished 10-4 in UAA play. A repeat of that would mean a 17-8 season. Probably still not enough for a Pool C bid, but still a good season.

This morning, CWRU has uploaded last Friday's victory vs Wash U in its entirety on their general Youtube channel. Each half is its own upload. I will watch the women's game in its entirety after I eat lunch. Ron Jantz on the PBP call for this one, with Alex (last name not given) on color commentary.
Update-- Both CWRU doubleheaders vs Wash U and Chicago are now up on Youtube in their entirety.
Update-- The color commentator's headset broke a little bit at the end of the first quarter. Wash U played intense defense. Melissa Heath honored on the senior banners at Horsburgh Gym. All of the senior players on the CWRU men's and women's basketball teams get the honor of having individual banners up all season at Horsburgh Gym.

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

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.

I'll be honest ... not all talent from high school caries over. It is one of the biggest reasons I don't get "excited" or dive deep into recruits. There are times players who are completely undersung turn into super stars and others who seem like super stars never pan out.
I don't think anyone, including coaches, can nail recruiting and nail a student's talent - every human turns out different.

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.
3
Saw Melissa play a # of times back in AAU; surprised that she's not starting for CWRU.
At Brown, Melissa was mostly used as a practice player who did not get significant minutes. I even checked Brown's 2 games vs Johnson and Wales over the past few seasons, and she did not play in those games. Most students in her position would have transferred after 2 years at DI or DII. Melissa Heath is unique in that she actually got her bachelor's degree from Brown before transferring to CWRU. She is competing this season by means of both a medical hardship waiver and a grad transfer waiver. Coach Reimer told me that Melissa Heath got the grad transfer waiver under the old rules of getting the bachelor's in 3 1/2 years and graduating with a 3.0 GPA. As such, to my knowledge, Melissa Heath is the first grad transfer in UAA women's basketball history.
Update as to grad transfers-- Under recently adopted rules by DIII, student athletes who transfer after graduating from a D3 institution do not need to get a waiver to compete at another d3 institution if the athlete is otherwise still.eligible to play in the sport that the person wants to play. In addition, grad transfer waiver requirements have been relaxed in that other athletes can graduate in the normal 4 years as long as they do so with a minimum 3.0 GPA.
Update for clarification-- In the first Brown vs JWU match, Melissa Heath did not play due to the injury for which she got a medical hardship waiver. Melissa Heath graduated in December, 2018 from Brown and did not play in last season's Brown vs JWU match. Her Brown season highs came in games against d3 opponents Mt Ida and Rhode Island College.

Another thing to add:
Courtney Thrun's 16 points is a new career high and also led all Brandeis scorers last night.
The major takeaway last night was that CWRU went 15-15 from the charity stripe in the 4th quarter while Brandeis was kept away from the charity stripe.
CWRU outscored Brandeis 22-2 from the charity stripe and went 100% from the FT line for the game.

2.) Emma Cain of CWRU got injured in the second quarter last night at Brandeis. She did not return to the game.

Well, Melissa Heath finally got in the starting lineup today at NYU. Melissa Heath replaced Emma Cain, who did not play due to her injury in Friday's game. Heath then went on to score 21 points. Abbey Lawrence scored 28 pts for CWRU, and Case Western Reserve swept the weekend, beating NYU 87-75.
As for me, I got out of the stands in the second quarter when Carnegie Mellon was leading over Brandeis. I did not want to overreact from the stands and cause a ruckus. I watched the remainder of the game from a multi-purpose room and standing. I just hope that Brandeis wins at least one more game.

A quick look at the UAA halfway through conference season--
1.). Chicago is in first place at 6-1.
2/) Emory and CWRU are tied for second at 5-2.
Probably out of contention is NYU at 4-3, as the Violets need to go 7-0 the rest of the way for a shot at the AQ.
Realistically out of the UAA AQ hunt: Wash U, Brandeis, Carnegie Mellon, Rochester.

At the moment, I would only expect the 3 UAA co-leaders to be regionally ranked this week.
Emory currently has tiebreaker advantage for AQ based on (1) head to head among co-leaders which currently knocks out NYU (Chicago 2-1; Emory 2-1; NYU 0-2), and (2) better record vs 4th place CWRU. (Chicago 0-1 vs CWRU; Emory 1-0 vs CWRU.)

1 quarter left, but it is safe to say that Chicago and NYU will finish the weekend tied for first at 8-3 in the UAA coming into next Friday's pivotal game at the Goldstein Fitness Center at Pace U's Westchester Campus in Pleasantville, NY.
Chicago has tiebreaker advantage for AQ based on a 1-0 head to head vs NYU.
Last time UAA games were played at Pace's Westchester Campus was the 2016-17 season, where NYU played Wash U and Chicago at Pace on the next to last weekend of the season.
The CUNYAC basketball tournaments have their first round games on Saturday of that particular weekend, so Hunter does not make the Sportsplex available to anyone other than their own teams the day before the CUNYAC playoffs for practice reasons.
Pace's Westchester Campus is 30 miles north of New York City.
If you want to take at look at some D2 basketball games played at Pace, these games are archived on NE10NOW, which is an OTT app on Roku. Pace has purple bleachers, and has more seats than the Hunter Sportsplex. The only drawback is that Pace's Goldstein Fitness Center is an hour's drive from Manhattan.

On Friday, the NYU women will try to play for a much better result than what happened the only 2 other times the Violets played home games in.Westchester County.
Lifetime record at Pace -- NYU is 0-2
Friday, Feb. 17, 2017-- Wash U def NYU, 66-37.
Sunday, Feb. 19, 2017-- Chicago def NYU, 59-37.

Chicago -- #2 in Central
NYU-- #4 in East
Emory -- #8 in South
Emory needs to win out for a shot at a Pool C bid.
Emory could still be co-champion with a shot at an AQ on tiebreaker, but Emory, Chicago, and NYU need to finish at 10-4 in UAA.
I have not run that tiebreaker scenario, because it depends on what takes place this weekend. If Chicago wins on Friday, then the Maroons are favored to come to the Wash U game at 10-3 in UAA. NYU hosts Wash U on Sunday, while Chicago historically has won at Brandeis over the past five years.

Game day today--
2 Big games on the women's sife--
1.). Battle for first place as co-leaders Chicago and NYU play in Westchester County on the D2 NE10 court at the home of the Setters, Pace University in Pleasantville, NY. Winner heads into Sunday with a 1 game lead with 2 to play. Chicago can clinch the AQ this weekend on tiebreaker advantage with wins at NYU and Brandeis. In that case, the worst case scenario would be Chicago, NYU, and Emory tied at 10-4 in UAA, and Chicago would be 3-1 vs NYU and Emory head to head.
2.). Emory faces the first of 3 must win situations at Carnegie Mellon tonight. Emory has no RROs remaining, but they must win out to move up in the South Region and get a shot at a Pool C bid.

The game is archived on NE10 Now, and I am watching the Chicago v NYU game on demand right now on Roku TV.
Chicago def NYU this evening and can clinch the AQ on Sunday by virtue of tiebreaker advantage with a win on Sunday at Brandeis. Chicago swept NYU 2-0 in head to head.
Chicago is now solely in first place at 9-3 in UAA with a 1 game lead over NYU and Emory, and a 2 game lead over Wash U with 2 to play.

Thinking about at-large bids, the resumes for New York University (19-5) and Emory (18-6) look a lot like those of 2019 Emory (which got an at-large bid) and 2019 Whitman (which did not). They also look a lot like each other. With one game left...
2020 NYU: 19-5....0.577 SOS...2-4 vRRO...East Region #4
2020 Emory: 18-6...0.573 SOS...2-3 vRRO...South Region #8
2019 Emory: 19-6...0.571 SOS...3-4 vRRO...South Region #4
2019 Whitman: 19-5...0.556...2-3 vRRO...West Region #5
NYU might drop a spot in the next East Region rankings and fall behind SUNY Geneseo.

Mock Hoopsville Women's Basketball National Committee has no Pool C picks for the UAA. That makes sense if the East and South Regional rankings stay the same this week.
As long as NYU stays in the East Evaluation region, the Violets are going to have to try to play a SUNYAC team in the non-league schedule. Hopefully, in the new evaluation regional realignment, NYU and upstate New York teams would be placed in separate evaluation regions.
By travel logistics, SUNY New Paltz and NYU are close enough (within 100 miles) to make a regular non-conference rivalry a possibility.
BTW, great to see Chris Mitchell of Wash U as one of the four members of this year's Hoopsville Women's Basketball National Committee.

NYU advances for a potential game tomorrow vs Bowdoin while.the Carnegie Mellon softball team may face Yuleska in Florida on Monday. Even though a DIII player playing 2 sports is entitled to a one week break between seasons, Yuleska Ramirez Tejeda likes to join the softball team ASAP after basketball season ends.

NYU is the choice for a good guard from NJ, Chloe Teter, said to have multiple D1 offers.

It seems that I have been the only member of the only (unofficial) fall sport at WashU, with my 100-mile ultramarathon attempt earlier this month to promote the fight for a cure during Rett Syndrome Awareness Month. That attempt fell a bit short in miles and fundraising, so I'm going into overtime to try and reach $5,000 in donations.
Rett Gets Rocked 50K for $5K will commence Friday, October 30 at 8 pm Central, and end at 8 am Halloween morning. Counting donations received (thanks to retired WashU men's basketball coach Mark Edwards and his wife Mary, and to Mike McGrath and his University of Chicago men's basketball program for their donations!) and those yet to be sent and processed, I am at $4,440.53. Very, very close to my goal...which will fund a researcher's work for a month. Wouldn't it be cool if he or she cracked the code for a cure of Rett syndrome, on our dime?!
I reached 86 miles in my "Rett Gets Rocked Virtual Ultra Weekend" October 3-4. I'm very proud of that result, but there's more work to be done. Proceeds from the event will be split between Rettsyndrome.org (the only national organization spearheading research and providing resources for affected patients and their families) and the Rett Spectrum Clinic--a collaboration between the WashU School of Medicine and St. Louis Children's Hospital.
Rett syndrome is a rare, non-inherited neurological disorder that is caused by a gene mutation in the brain. It primarily affects girls (1 in every 10,000 girls develop Rett). It strikes typically when a child is 6-18 months old, and it has the characteristics of ALS, autism, epilepsy, and Parkinson's...all rolled into one sinister disorder. It takes away the child's ability to move and communicate.
In essence, Rett does to a child what Lucy in the "Peanuts" comic strip does to Charlie Brown when he tries to kick the football that she is holding. The only difference is that Charlie Brown can get back up to try again. Those who are afflicted with Rett syndrome don't get another chance to enjoy a vibrant life.
Researchers are working to re-engineer the gene mutation that turns on Rett, so it can be forever turned off. Four drug therapies are in the FDA review pipeline, with one (trofanitide) one level away from review. And, iPad tablets with retinal scan technology are giving those with Rett a voice they haven't had since they were toddlers.

Rett Gets Rocked 50K for $5K will commence Friday, October 30 at 8 pm Central, and end at 8 am Halloween morning. Counting donations received (thanks to retired WashU men's basketball coach Mark Edwards and his wife Mary, and to Mike McGrath and his University of Chicago men's basketball program for their donations!) and those yet to be sent and processed, I am at $4,440.53. Very, very close to my goal...which will fund a researcher's work for a month. Wouldn't it be cool if he or she cracked the code for a cure of Rett syndrome, on our dime?!
I reached 86 miles in my "Rett Gets Rocked Virtual Ultra Weekend" October 3-4. I'm very proud of that result, but there's more work to be done. Proceeds from the event will be split between Rettsyndrome.org (the only national organization spearheading research and providing resources for affected patients and their families) and the Rett Spectrum Clinic--a collaboration between the WashU School of Medicine and St. Louis Children's Hospital.
Rett syndrome is a rare, non-inherited neurological disorder that is caused by a gene mutation in the brain. It primarily affects girls (1 in every 10,000 girls develop Rett). It strikes typically when a child is 6-18 months old, and it has the characteristics of ALS, autism, epilepsy, and Parkinson's...all rolled into one sinister disorder. It takes away the child's ability to move and communicate.
In essence, Rett does to a child what Lucy in the "Peanuts" comic strip does to Charlie Brown when he tries to kick the football that she is holding. The only difference is that Charlie Brown can get back up to try again. Those who are afflicted with Rett syndrome don't get another chance to enjoy a vibrant life.
Researchers are working to re-engineer the gene mutation that turns on Rett, so it can be forever turned off. Four drug therapies are in the FDA review pipeline, with one (trofanitide) one level away from review. And, iPad tablets with retinal scan technology are giving those with Rett a voice they haven't had since they were toddlers.

For much of Division III, there hasn't been any basketball so far this season. Unfortunately for a growing number of schools, there won't be any season. Either because of a school decision or a conference one, more and more coaches are having to tell their teams they won't be playing any intercollegiate games until next season.
Those conversations have to be tough. What can also be difficult is keeping student-athletes engaged or even keep busy as a coach.
In this second of three podcasts surrounding the coronavirus climate in DIII, we chat with a couple of coaches who have programs on the back-burner until next academic year. Emory women's coach Misha Jackson discusses how and why the Atlanta-based institution decided to shutdown winter sports and how it has impacted her team. And Plattsburgh State men's coach Mike Blaine brings his perspective of a shutdown program, but from a conference-wide decision in New York State.
You will also hear how both coaches are working with their players, but also trying to be careful about their time and the stress of everything going on in player's lives.

The Division III basketball season technically started nearly three months ago, but it has taken until the end of January for it to start feeling like the season is really underway. Even so, only about a quarter of the division has played just a single game. Another quarter of the division will never take to the court. And in between is wide gulf of different options.
On the first video-version of Hoopsville this season, Dave McHugh is joined by much of the D3hoops.com crew, Pat Coleman and Ryan Scott, to react to what has been one of the more unique seasons ... to say it lightly.
We react to the challenges schools are facing, what coaches are grappling with on a daily basis - especially beyond games and practices, and why schools are making so many different decisions.
We also discuss what is likely the future of this season's NCAA Championship Tournaments and, more importantly, when the decision on those tournaments will be made.
Plus, will there be a Top 25? No. Well, yes. Kind of. Tune in to learn more on what's coming. Plus a lot more including Dave spinning off Pat's thoughts on those wishing to attend games.

Well, a new season is starting up soon, and a change is in the air, as for the first time in the history of the UAA, the UAA Women's Basketball games will be the second half of conference doubleheaders for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons.
Friday tips for the women's UAA basketball games will be at approx 7:30 PM local time; Saturday'games at the beginning and end of UAA season when the teams play against their travel partners will have tips at approx 3 PM local time, and Sunday games will have a tip time of approx 2 PM local time. In all cases this season, the men's basketball games will tip off the conference doubleheaders, and the women will play second. This will once again be the case the following season before the men and women change places in the 2023-2024 season for the following 2 years.
On another front, sometimes being a fan of Brandeis for years gets me something like what I got yesterday. A friend of mine who I watch the Boston Marathon with every year called me yesterday and told me that he is friends with a local dentist in the Boston area (Jessica Locke White) who captained the Brandeis women's basketball team during her senior year in the 1996-97 season, when she played with Kate Drummond.
Apparently, during the call with my friend yesterday, I was told that Jessica Locke White remembered me from her playing days and wanted to say hi to me. At my age, it sometimes happens that if the player is an average player in Brandeis women's basketball history (like Jessica was), and it has been a long time since that player played at Brandeis, then the player may remember me more than I remember her. I tend not to dwell too much on the years that Brandeis goes 3-11 in the UAA these days-- I will watch and cheer them on, but it is not like Jessica Locke White will be the first player that pops in my head when I think of Brandeis women's basketball, sorry about that..... :)
Apparently, Jessica Locke White is a successful dentist, though.....

so what your saying is your a bandwagon fan. if things are good your there with the sweatshirt and popcorn claiming your love for the program but when its down and all programs will eventually have a down cycle just ask conhusker football fans. You put away the jersey until its safe again. Hmmm you don't remember average players sounds like she was above average in character since her teammates chose her as captain.
Just a odd thing to write im so rememberable players remember me but you have to be at a certain level to get on my radar. I feel it was worth a little ball busting.

To be fair (and provide context), he is basically a legend as far as Division III fandom goes. For example, you can find profiles on him in multiple student newspapers for schools other than Brandeis. It does make sense that he would be the more memorable person in this case...

I'm sure at least 60% of Dr Locke White's dental patients switched to other dentists by late Friday after learning that deiscanton doesn't remember her much and that deiscanton wasn't suitably impressed when she played basketball.

Okay, enough of the heckling-- I get it when I am taking pies to the face.... ;D
Gordon, I am sure that you came to Auerbach Arena once or twice over the years to do a Brandeis game for the D3HoopsNet national internet radio network many years ago-- before streaming video came into existence.
I also attended 3 DIII Women's Basketball "Final Fours" over the years in person-- one was in Danbury, CT in the 2000-2001 season, when Wash U played Emmanuel in a national semifinal. Wash U won their 4th straight national championship that weekend.
The other 2 "Final Fours" that I attended in person were when Springfield College hosted them. The first year was Hope vs Southern Maine in the national title game, and the following year had Wash U play NYU in a national semifinal from Blake Arena while DePauw played Mary Washington in the other national semifinal. DePauw went to Emmanuel for the Sweet 16/Elite 8 matches that year-- defeating Emmanuel in the Sweet 16 and Calvin in the Elite 8. DePauw went on to win the national title that year by beating Wash U in the championship game.
I also remember meeting Mark Simon and Pat Coleman on their trips to Brandeis to cover games over the years as well....
I think that I may have met you, Gordon, at least at one of those "Final Fours" if not at Auerbach Arena.
And of course, how can I forget the internet radio call on D3HoopsNet of the Wash U at NYU game from Coles Center in the 2000-2001 season? I listened to the entire game on replay the morning after the game.

DIII Men's and Women's Basketball open up their seasons today, but there is only one UAA team playing this weekend.
That would be NYU, who opens away at Kean Saturday afternoon at 1 PM Eastern.
NYU had an exhibition game last Sunday at DI Ivy League team Columbia, in which the Violets trailed by 11 at halftime before Columbia pulled away in the second half to win 89-55. NYU did at least score the opening basket to take a 2-0 lead in the first minute, but that was the only lead NYU would have all game.
Brandeis women open their season Monday night at home vs UMass-Boston at 7 PM Eastern.
I just wanted to mention that NYU will be playing their non-conference home games on their Brooklyn campus at the Brooklyn Athletic Facility before playing their UAA home games at the Sportsplex at Hunter College this season.
Carnegie Mellon will be playing their home games at Wiegand Gym at the Cohon University Center on the CMU campus due to Skibo Gym being renovated this season.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, in-person attendance at Carnegie Mellon and NYU home games are limited to fully vaccinated members of their on-campus home communities (students, faculty, staff, and administrators) as well as 2 fully vaccinated family members of each player on the home team, per their respective university policies.
Both Wiegand Gym and the Brooklyn Athletic Facility gym are designed more as player basketball courts-- designed to be watched by spectators on streaming video rather than have in-person spectators.
Most of us will be watching Carnegie Mellon and NYU home games on streaming video and live stats this season.

I was not able to watch the NYU at Kean game on-line Saturday due to watching so many DIII soccer matches over the weekend, but I was not surprised that NYU had a comfortable victory over Kean.
Brandeis opens up at home against UMass-Boston at 6 PM Eastern.
Returning starters for Brandeis: Camila Casaneuva, Emma Reavis
Other returning players who had previous playing time for Brandeis: Kerry Tanke, Franchesa Marchese, Shannon Smally, Courtney Thrun
Tathiana Pierre may or may not be a returning member, but she has not played a minute on the court for Brandeis yet.
The other players on the Brandeis women's basketball roster are new this season.
Coaching changes for Brandeis: Former associate head coach Scott Foulis has retired from the Brandeis staff-- Aseem Rastoogi promoted to top assistant coach.
This is the fifth meeting between Brandeis and UMass-Boston: Brandeis leads the series, 3-1. Each team has been undefeated vs the other on its home floor this series.
Also of note: Heather Jacobs makes her DIII coaching return today as head coach of UMass-Boston. She got her DIII coaching start as an assistant for Norwich. Ms. Jacobs has also been the head coach for former institution Daniel Webster. She has also coached for DII Adelphi and DI Wagner.

Final score: Brandeis 77, UMass-Boston 55
Judges could work on their FT shooting, but overall, a great opener.
(1) Caitlin Gresko is a great find for the Judges. Gresko starts her college career by scoring the opening basket and the first points of the season for the Judges-- a 3 pointer. Overall, for a first game of her college career, a good performance by Gresko.
(2) Later on, we get the Camila Casaneuva show.
(3) Brandeis dominated on the 3 ball and on the offensive glass.
(4) Kerry Tanke scored a lot of points from inside.
(5) The other new players also made their contributions to the ball game as well.
(6) At one point in the second quarter, Brandeis only scored 1 point in a little over 5 minutes. However, the Judges ended the quarter on a 13-0 run to practically decide this one by halftime.
Next Brandeis game: Friday vs Wheaton (MA)-- opening game of the Women's Tip-Off Tournament (The opponents in the second game are Connecticut College vs Husson. Losers play in the consolation game, while the winners play in the championship game on Saturday.)

I also noticed that 41 of the 89 points that NYU scored against Kean on Saturday were scored by 3 new players making their first college career start as Violets, with Jenny Walker also contributing a role. Brooklyn Shelton only made 1-1 from the foul line vs Kean, so Coach Meg Barber also picked up some new players worth following.

The NYU fans on here do you know what happened to ASIA MARRERO she was playing for NYU but i dont see her on the roster. I got the pleasure of meeting her and her dad at a Princeton camp that she and my daughter attended when they were juniors. They were extremely nice and warm people I was looking forward to watching her.

Neither Deiscanton(Brandeis/UAA/New England) nor I(Scranton/Mid-Atlantic) are NYU fans per se so I don't know about Asia Marrero but I am acquainted with an NYU assistant coach and if I run into her on the evaluation trail, I'll ask.

No, I would not know about Asia Marrero, as she did not play against Brandeis back in the 2019-2020 season. She only got a few minutes of game time for NYU in 2 UAA games (Carnegie Mellon and Wash U), and only played in 5 games total for NYU during the 2019-2020 season and that was it. I am more familiar with Jenny Walker and Brooklyn Shelton, as they made major contributions to NYU that season.
I did get to read Coach Tiny Green's blog Nothing But Skills, which is a blog that promotes a basketball school/camp in New Jersey by the same name that is run by the writer of the blog.
9:19 AM Eastern-- November 10, 2021 note-- For you real old-timers of NCAA DIII basketball, Coach Green was a player on the 1980 Upsala DIII men's "Final Four" team that lost to North Park.
There are 3 graduates of Coach Green's New Jersey basketball school/camp that are now first year players on UAA teams this season, and that Coach Green wrote blog pieces in 2020 about those players:
(1) Caitlin Gresko-- Brandeis
(2) Chloe Teter-- NYU
(3) Erin Martin-- Emory
BTW, out of the 3 players-- Caitlin Gresko (10 points, 4 rebounds) had a better debut game on Monday than Chloe Teter, who only played 15 minutes off the bench and did not score vs Kean on Saturday. Maybe that is because of the roles that each coach is asking the player to accomplish.
Erin Martin is yet to make her debut, but is expected to do so this week.
Coach Green wrote about the skills development of Caitlin Gresko back in September 2020 and how she put her high school (Howell HS) on the New Jersey map. Gresko ended up being a 1,000 point scorer on her high school career for Howell HS. Coach Green compared Gresko's development as being similar to the top scorer for Stevens in the 2019-2020 season, Jess Broad, who is a current first team all MAC-Freedom selection.
Chloe Teter also ended up being a 1,000 point scorer for a rival high school team that Howell played against in the Shore Conference in NJ-- Red Bank Regional. Coach Green ran a huge piece on Chloe Teter in his blog the day she announced on social media that she was going to attend NYU for her college career.
Chloe Teter and Caitlin Gresko also played for rival AAU teams in New Jersey-- Teter played for the NJ Shoreshots, and Gresko played for the NJ Rebels.
Similarly, when Erin Martin announced that she was going to attend Emory for her college career, Coach Green also wrote in his blog about the decision.
Coach Green is one coach who believes that the UAA is the top DIII women's basketball conference in the country.
What sort of intrigued me is that Coach Green did not write a follow up entry on Gresko the day that she decided to go to Brandeis, but was really willing to write about the other two players the day they announced their intention to attend NYU and Emory. That may fuel Gresko's competitive fire a bit when it comes time for UAA play.
For what is it worth, here is what Coach Tiny Green wrote about each of those players:
Caitllin Gresko: nothingbutskills.com/caitlin-gresko-not-a-surprise-anymore (http://nothingbutskills.com/caitlin-gresko-not-a-surprise-anymore)

In other news, I have to acknowledge Brandeis's Camila Casanueva for tying the Brandeis school record of most 3's made by a Brandeis women's basketball player in a single game.
Casaneuva's 7 "3's" made against UMass-Boston is now the school record for most "3's" made by a Brandeis women's basketball player in a non-conference game.
Jessica Chapin (class of 2010)'s 7 made "3's" in a game were accomplished in a UAA game against Carnegie Mellon back during Chapin's senior year.

What am I watching tonight?
CWRU bringing the fire in the second quarter to preseason #21 Baldwin-Wallace in CWRU's home opener at Horsburgh Gym.
Rochester easily took care of Buffalo State in the home opener at the Palestra in Rochester, NY. JC DeLass is back calling the action as the PBP commentator for the Yellowjackets, although he no longer works for WYSL. There will be a lot of mixed feelings if not outright hostility about neutral DIII fans having to pay $7.95 for a game or $10.95 for monthly access to hear JC DeLass's commentary-- I already got commentary about it for Rochester soccer over the past few weeks as well as for basketball on the UAA men's thread, and I agree with those who think that it is wrong to have to ask normal DIII fans to pay an on-line to watch regular season DIII hoop-- especially since people have to watch on video these days for safety and health reasons.
Final score from Rochester: Rochester won over Buffalo State, 91-55.
Halftime from Cleveland: CWRU 36, preseason #21 Baldwin-Wallace 32 Baldwin-Wallace ended UAA women's basketball champion Chicago's season in the second round in the last NCAA DIII Women's Basketball Tournament back in March, 2020.

I am also watching some of Chicago's opener at Carthage, where the Maroons are leading 14-12 over the Firebirds at Tarble Arena in Kenosha, WI.
Carthage does know how to make a cheaper "WNBA style" version of announcing the starting lineup for their women's team, with the darkness, the spotlight, and the cheerleaders. Having the pep band in the arena is also a nice touch for the presentation on video.
Chicago returning 2 starters in Grace Hynes and Klare Steffens, with one other returning player Elizabeth Shaw in the starting lineup.
CWRU up 50-48 over Baldwin-Wallace entering the 4th quarter in Cleveland.
8:25 PM Eastern update-- Baldwin-Wallace starting the 4th quarter on a 7-0 run to take a 55-50 lead on the Spartans, continuing a current run of now 15-0 that started late in the third quarter. It is now 57-50, Baldwin-Wallace, and it looks like Baldwin-Wallace is about to put this game away.

Halftime from Kenosha: Chicago 40, Carthage 22. Chicago outscored the Firebirds, 26-10, over the second quarter.
9:11 PM Eastern: Chicago 56, Carthage 36 after 3 quarters. It looks like Chicago head coach Maria (Noucas) Williamson is about to get her first career win with 10 minutes of game time to go.

Final from LaGrange, GA-- LaGrange 66, Emory 57
First victory for the USA South's LaGrange Panthers over the Emory women's basketball team since November 23, 2010. Before today, the two teams last played each other in 2016.
It seemed like LaGrange played more like the team deserving of the RV in the Top 25 today than Emory. I watched the second half of tonight's game, and Emory was struggling against a LaGrange Panthers team that clearly played last season and that played a few games under their belt already.
Emory committed too many turnovers (the Panthers stole the ball 13 times vs Emory), only outrebounded LaGrange by 2 on the offensive glass, only made 3 treys, and only shot 50% from the charity stripe while being outscored by LaGrange, 22-10.
Emory only shot 38.6% for the game.
Morgan Laudick (played high school ball in Illinois) was the best of the Emory rookie class today with a 12 point performance.
Out of the 3 players who went to Coach Ellonya "Tiny" Green's Nothing But Skills basketball school in New Jersey who are first year players in the UAA, Caitlin Gresko of Brandeis had the best first college game performance. However, it is a long season.
Erin Martin of Emory-- the third player of Coach Tiny Green's recent graduates, had a reserve role today, 0-2 from the charity stripe, and just 1 rebound vs LaGrange.

Q: What happens when you play a young Wheaton (MA) team with a head coach being a Bowdoin grad with Ivy League assistant coaching experience (Brown), and with an assistant coach who graduated from Emory?
A: A defensive slugfest, and one of the more competitive first round games that Brandeis had to play in its own "tip-off" invitational. I am just glad that Brandeis came out on top today, 52-48, even though Brandeis lost the rebounding battle by 13, and lost the battle of the offensive glass by 9.
If Brandeis first year player Mollie Obar had not grabbed 10 rebounds, the loss on the rebounding front would have been much worse.
Fun trivia fact that I would not have guessed: Coach Carol Simon was a teammate of Mollie Obar's mother when they both attended Colby in the 1980s and they played 3 sports together at Colby.
Yes, Brandeis did outscore Wheaton (MA), 9-4, at the charity stripe. However, Brandeis only made 9 of 21 from the FT line, and that needs to improve.
On to tomorrow-- either Husson or Connecticut College, safe with the knowledge that Brandeis will go into the game at Emerson with a record of 2-0 vs teams in Region II. (The next opponent is a Region I opponent.)

Some notes:
(1) Congrats to Abbey Lawrence of CWRU for scoring a program record 45 points in an individual game last night in the win over Waynesburg. The 45 points is a tie for the most points scored by a women's basketball player in an NCAA game in any division for this season so far
(2) Brockport defeated Rochester this week at the Louis Alexander Palestra, 69-65.
This is only the 9th win for Brockport in their 35 game series vs Rochester-- According to JC DeLass, this is the first win for Brockport women's basketball over Rochester since February 12, 1983. Rochester had won the previous 18 meetings. Moreover, this is the first time that Brockport has beaten Rochester in women's basketball at the Louis Alexander Palestra since late January, 1975. Rochester had won the previous 11 meetings vs Brockport that were played at the Palestra.
(Needless to say, this is the first time that a Jim Scheible-coached Rochester team lost in women's basketball to SUNY-Brockport.)
Seems fitting that a native from my hometown is the current Brockport women's basketball coach-- Corinne Jones (nee Pellegrini). She grew up in my old neighborhood-- played high school basketball for the Canton MA HS Bulldogs, went to Bowdoin at the turn of the century where she played under Coach Stefanie Pemper, (with a Sharon, MA college teammate Courtney Trotta (married name now Ruggles) whose dad is still the Canton MA public works superintendent) and then became a Jim Scheible assistant before assuming the Brockport coaching position.
Rochester coach Jim Scheible is still 2 wins away from getting career win 400-- that feat may be accomplished this weekend if the Yellowjackets go 2-0 at the Mark's Pizzeria Crosstown Shootout.
(1) Congrats to Abbey Lawrence of CWRU for scoring a program record 45 points in an individual game last night in the win over Waynesburg. The 45 points is a tie for the most points scored by a women's basketball player in an NCAA game in any division for this season so far
(2) Brockport defeated Rochester this week at the Louis Alexander Palestra, 69-65.
This is only the 9th win for Brockport in their 35 game series vs Rochester-- According to JC DeLass, this is the first win for Brockport women's basketball over Rochester since February 12, 1983. Rochester had won the previous 18 meetings. Moreover, this is the first time that Brockport has beaten Rochester in women's basketball at the Louis Alexander Palestra since late January, 1975. Rochester had won the previous 11 meetings vs Brockport that were played at the Palestra.

I usually run in to Corinne at a major AAU tourney each summer; I might give her the name of an upstate NY prospect that I've evaluated that could help her program. Became acquainted with Corinne when 1 of my prospects transferred to Brockport after playing 1 year in D2; mentioned that to Corinne but player ultimately chose not to play college ball any more. Happy that Brockport is having early success this season.
Talked with Coach Scheible at the 2019 final 4: mentioned that there was an NCAA regional/sectional? a few years before @ Rochester in which the coaches(Scheible, Scranton's Mike Strong, Williams' Pat Manning, and Emmanuel's Andy Yosinoff) collectively had about 2150 victories at that time.

(Williams defeated Rochester in the second round and then went on to defeat Ithaca and Whitman before losing to DePauw in the national semifinals, but defeating Amherst in the third place game.)

The audio feed is now cut while the playing of the NYU alma mater (first verse of "the Palisades") and the playing of the Star Spangled Banner (national anthem) is happening.
Audio feed has now resumed.
2:19 PM Eastern-- NYU up 21-9 over Wesleyan after 1 quarter. NYU on a 16-3 run to end the quarter.

NYU leading by 40 points over Wesleyan, 73-33, after 3 quarters.
This NYU women's basketball team playing in Brooklyn is reminding me of the 2000-01 Final Four Emmanuel team when they played home games in the old Marian Hall Gym in Boston. The Saints back in 2000-01 just crushed opponent after opponent on that floor.
Coach Meg Barber must have some long memories of getting beaten by that Emmanuel team, and seems to have adopted some of Andy Yosinoff's tactics this year in leading this young NYU team. Just like the 2000-01 Emmanuel team, this NYU team is capable of putting up 100 points a game with their leading scorer only needing to average 12, and can play suffocating defense on the opponent. This NYU team is also capable of going after the #1 in DIII ranking on the rebound margin.
NYU looks to have laid down the gauntlet this year in saying "We are going to win the UAA this year. Try and stop us."
NYU has built their lead over Wesleyan to 50 points at 86-36.
Final score: NYU 91, Wesleyan 46. NYU improves to 7-0, and the Violets look to be favored to go into the UAA with an 11-0 record in January the way that the Violets have been dominating opponents this season.
3:35 PM Eastern update-- BTW, NYU outrebounded Wesleyan by 18 rebounds today, 54-36, and led on the offensive glass, 15-12.
How is any UAA team going to beat NYU this year if the other UAA team is going to be crushed on the boards like this? I am just looking for an answer. Brandeis certainly is not going to be able to beat NYU while losing on the boards by 15 or 20.

This is not good news.
Due to a COVID-19 surge at NYU, the NYU campus is shutting down and all finals are going to remote.
In addition, as of today, December 15, 2021, NYU has closed down all athletic facilities and has suspended all athletic activity until further notice.
This may have a major impact on UAA competition this season-- especially on the NYU women's basketball team, which has been dominating all of their non-conference opponents this season. As of now, all athletic seasons involving NYU teams have been suspended until further notice due to a COVID-19 surge at NYU.

Final score--
CWRU 94, Kenyon 40 The 54 point win is the largest single game margin of victory in program history for the Spartans.
The old record was a 52 point win over Notre Dame of Ohio set in the early 1980's.
(From the CWRU game recap-- the old record was set in the 1982-83 season when CWRU defeated Notre Dame of Ohio. 83-31.)
Also from the CWRU game recap-- the Spartans shot 60.7% from the field, which is a new single game FG% record-- the old record was a 56.4% from the floor, set against NYU on February 4, 2018.
CWRU outrebounded Kenyon, 45-23.
Next game: CWRU women will join the men at Hilbert on Monday, January 3, 2022-- The women will play at 1 PM Eastern in the first game of a doubleheader at Hilbert, followed by the men.

The Hope vs Trine women's game will also be playing at the same time, so I will probably not be doing live posting on the Chicago/IWU game.

Illinois Wesleyan led 62-53 (their largest lead of the game), with 3:50 left in regulation, but Chicago went on a 10-0 run to end the game, which was capped by Chicago's Klaire Steffens making the winning layup with 1.9 seconds left, and then Grace Hynes clinching the win for Chicago by stealing the ball off the next Illinois Wesleyan inbounds possession.
However, it did seem that the young Illinois Wesleyan Titans team lost the game more than Chicago won it.
The Illinois Wesleyan defense forced Chicago to commit 26 turnovers, which the Titans converted into 33 points.
Illinois Wesleyan committed 22 turnovers, which Chicago converted into 16 points.
Chicago led on points in the paint, 34-22, and on second chance points, 22-10, even though Illinois Wesleyan led on offensive rebounds for the game, 16-15.
Grace Hynes led Chicago with 16 points, while Klaire Steffens scored 13 (including the winning layup) and Paige von Soest scored 12 for Chicago.
For Illinois Wesleyan, it was Brooke Lansford with 18 points, Mallory Powers with 14 points, and Kate Palmer with 12 points for the Titans.
Chicago did outrebound Illinois Wesleyan, 37-31, but that lead was mostly caused by Chicago outrebounding IWU on the defensive end by 7.
Chicago shot 24 of 53 from the field (45.3%), 2 of 22 from 3 pt land (9.1%-- both 3's were made in the first quarter), and 13-16 from the FT line (81.3%)
Illinois Wesleyan shot 21 of 58 from the field (36.2%), 8 of 19 from 3 pt land (42.1%), and 12 of 14 from the charity stripe (85.7%).
(Note: Thanks to Gregory Sager for doing the short wrapup of the game on the CCIW women's board as soon as the game ended-- however, I watched the replay stream on demand as though I was watching the game on a few hours delay as though it was live, due to the conflict with the Hope vs Trine game.)

The president of NYU made an updated statement on Tuesday, December 21, 2021, that all athletics contests involving NYU up to the start of the spring semester on January 24, 2022, are to be cancelled or postponed due to the athletics suspension currently in effect. All J-term classes at NYU will be conducted remotely, and there will be no in-person instruction at NYU until at least the start of the NYU spring semester. All athletics travel for games before January 24, 2022, or academic travel for J-term classes is suspended and will not take place. All athletics and fitness facilities on the NYU campus will remain closed until at least the start of the spring semester on January 24, 2022.
At least the next 7 contests involving NYU women's basketball will be cancelled or rescheduled for dates later than January 24, 2022, as a result.
NYU will further review the situation in January.
I made a more detailed post on the situation in the UAA Men's Basketball forum, but the NYU athletics suspension will now have a major impact on the UAA Women's Title race, probably to the extent that I could foresee a scenario where the UAA will rule that NYU will be treated like Johns Hopkins was treated during the 1990s-- a/k/a NYU would not be eligible for the UAA Women's Title and AQ this season due to their inabillity to play a 14 game double-round robin schedule this season, that NYU will only play a single round-robin 7 game slate in February, and that results vs NYU will not be used to settle tiebreakers.
Needless to say, we are now in unchartered territory, IMO.

Baruch seems to be proceeding as if the Baruch women's basketball team will be playing NYU tomorrow at 2 PM Eastern, but I have heard no word from NYU Athletics if their athletics suspension has been lifted. If NYU did lift the suspension, they are doing a poor job of communicating it, seeming that they made a big deal on December 15 of suspending all athletic activity and closing down all of their athletic facilities until further notice, and having the NYU president make a statement on December 21 that stated that all athletic travel and athletic activity would be suspended until at least mid January. If the NYU women's basketball game vs Baruch is going to be played tomorrow, what changed NYU's mind, and why didn't they explicitly say that the athletics suspension has been lifted?
I am not going to believe that an NYU women's basketball game is being played on Thursday until I actually see the game on the Baruch Athletics Youtube channel.

Final from Marietta, Ohio in the Jim Meagle Classic--
Carnegie Mellon 65, Bethany 58
Carnegie Mellon sophomore Megan Matsko got her first college career double-double today (13 points, 11 rebounds) , but Marietta immediately pulled the live stats down after the game ended, so I will have to modify the post later when the box score gets posted.
3 Tartans scored in double figures (Matsko, Caitlyn Clenendin, and Anisha Chintalda), although Carnegie Mellon only made 2 3's on the game.
Caitlyn Clenendin scored 13 points and had 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and blocked 2 shots.
CMU first year Anisha Chintala tied her career high of 16 points which she first set in her opening game this season against Heidelberg; however, she did it today on 7 of 12 shooting from the field (a career best), 0-2 from 3 pt range, and 2 of 4 from the FT line.
Carnegie Mellon's 5 starters played 30+ minutes today, with only 1 of the 4 bench players playing 10+ minutes. CMU got 12 points off their bench.
Carnegie Mellon shot 28 of 58 from the field, 2 of 10 from 3 pt range, and 7 of 17 from the FT line.
Bethany shot 19 of 53 from the field, 3 of 17 from 3 pt range, and 17 of 20 from the charity stripe.
Carnegie Mellon plays Marietta tomorrow at 3 PM Eastern, while Emory is scheduled to play at Huntingdon tomorrow at 6 PM Central/7 PM Eastern.
(Marietta defeated Case Western Reserve by 7 points earlier this season.)

So far, Caitlyn Clendenin has 2 double-doubles on the season; 1 in the opener vs Heidelberg, and the other vs Grove City.
Clendenin is currently averaging 14.7 ppg and 7.9 rpg through 7 games this season. (#3 in the UAA in both categories among women's basketball players) Clendenin is also shooting at a 55.1% clip (also #3 in the UAA in that category.)
No UAA women's basketball player is currently averaging 10+ rebounds per game.
Leading scorer in the UAA so far through non-conference play is Abbey Lawrence of CWRU at 24.0 ppg (#3 in NCAA DIII Women's Basketball)
Leading rebounder in the UAA so far through non-conference play is Maya Arnott of Wash U at 9.0 rpg.
Leading in FG% in the UAA right now is Maya Arnott as well; she is shooting at a 57.5% clip. (42 of 73 for the season).
Leading in 3 pt FG% in the UAA right now is Tori Huggins of Emory who is shooting at 61.9% from 3 pt land (13 of 21 from 3 pt land on the season.)
Leading in FT% in the UAA right now is Claire Brock of Emory, who is shooting 96.2% from the charity stripe. (#2 in NCAA DIII) (25 of 26 from the FT line for the season, getting about 3 points per game from the FT line.)

Fortunately, tonight's Emory scheduled women's basketball game at Huntingdon (AL) will be available both live stream and on demand through Huntingdon's Boxcast channel (which is also available on Roku devices).
There is a big men's DIII basketball game tonight in which the 50 game winning streak for Yeshiva could come to an end tonight at the hands of the Illinois Wesleyan Titans.
I will catch the opening few minutes of the live broadcast between Emory and Huntingdon. There will be no live commentary from Montgomery, AL, but a person watching will get the feel on the live stream as though you are watching the game in person from the stands. The PA address system at Huntingdon can be heard clearly on the stream and the camera operator does a good job of leaving the background sound on for the Huntingdon home games.

Marietta leading Carnegie Mellon, 20-13, after 1 quarter.
Tartans turned the ball over 7 times in the quarter, with CMU sophomore Megan Matsko responsible for 4 of those turnovers.
CMU has been turning the ball over 18.6 times per game when they have the ball-- most among UAA teams. That will need to improve for this young team to be able to stay out of a potential last place finish in UAA play.

Carnegie Mellon is not a deep team. The Tartans will be really dependent on their starters to have big games every game in UAA play unless the bench can develop, and I don't mean to a point where either just 1 bench player has a 10+ points game or just 2 or 3 bench players combine for 10 or more points. CMU, in a way, is very similar to the current NYU men's basketball team in that they will have a lot of players, and 3 starters, going through their first season of UAA competition.

Wash U women had a decent tuneup weekend for UAA play, getting 2 home victories over SLiAC opponents Westminster and Greenville behind closed doors at the Edwards Fahey Court in the Wash U Field House.
Wash U becomes the first of the UAA women's teams to successfully complete all 11 of their non-league games, finishing with a 6-5 mark in non-conference play. I am wondering how many other UAA teams will be able to do that this season. Wash U was able to play all 11 of their non-conference games without a cancellation or postponement. In these times, that is a feat in itself.
Maya Arnott of Wash U did not play this weekend due to undisclosed reasons. (Probably injury related is my guess.)
Big highlight of the win vs Westminster-- Strong 4th quarter for Wash U-- season high 22 assists.
Big highlight of the win vs Greenville-- Wash U sophomore bench player Jessica Brooks scores a career high 23 points and makes a career high 11 baskets in the game.
Wash U now faces their big road test of the season: First 3 games are on the road at Chicago, Emory, and Rochester. Last full season out, Bears went 1-2 on this stretch of games. Wash U so far is 1-3 in true road games this season, but 2 of those 3 losses were by 1 possession.
Due to the NYU postponement of the contest vs Mt. St. Mary that was forced by the NYU Athletics suspension, there are no non-conference UAA women's games today. Next games are scheduled to be on Monday.
Scheduled games for Monday, January 3, 2022--
1.) CWRU at Hilbert
2.) La Roche at Carnegie Mellon
3.) Clark at Brandeis

Wash U now faces their big road test of the season: First 3 games are on the road at Chicago, Emory, and Rochester. Last full season out, Bears went 1-2 on this stretch of games. Wash U so far is 1-3 in true road games this season, but 2 of those 3 losses were by 1 possession.
Due to the NYU postponement of the contest vs Mt. St. Mary that was forced by the NYU Athletics suspension, there are no non-conference UAA women's games today. Next games are scheduled to be on Monday.
Scheduled games for Monday, January 3, 2022--
1.) CWRU at Hilbert
2.) La Roche at Carnegie Mellon
3.) Clark at Brandeis

Brandeis Athletics sent out a tweet at 11:51 AM Eastern Monday, January 3-- while I was eating lunch--
Due to positive COVID-19 tests, tonight's scheduled women's basketball game between Brandeis and Clark has been postponed to a future date to be determined.
Brandeis is next scheduled to host NYU on Saturday to start UAA play, but NYU still has all athletic activity completely suspended, as well as a ban on athletic travel, so it is most likely that there will be no games on Saturday at the Auerbach Arena either. Just in case, Brandeis sent out a reminder about their new spectator pollcy requiring that all outside spectators take a PCR test no more than 72 hours prior to the start of the event and present a negative result from that test at the door to attend all events at the Auerbach Arena.
The next most likely date that Brandeis could take the court would be at home vs Carnegie Mellon on Friday, January 14.

Watching the live stream of CWRU at Hilbert women's game.
No live stats from Hilbert for this one-- just a Boxcast video.
No commentary from Hilbert for the women's game-- this will probably be the same for the men's game following.
CWRU has 2 changes to the starting lineup today--
Nyah Moore and Lucy Vanderbeck starting today, joining Kayla Characklis, Isabella Mills, and Abbey Lawrence.

Technical foul was called on CWRU late in the first quarter-- Spartans were up by 9 at the time of the technical.
Score now CWRU 18, Hilbert 13 with 2:35 left in the quarter
1:24 PM Eastern update-- End of 1st quarter-- CWRU 26, Hilbert 17
1:38 PM Eastern-- Technical fouls 1 a piece on both sides so far. CWRU 46, Hilbert 21 3:06 left before halftime.
1:45 PM Eastern-- CWRU 56, Hilbert 23-- Halftime. I could turn this off to get some orange juice at the supermarket, but Brandeis is not playing today, so I have time to buy some OJ before Hoopsville tonight. No live stats, so I will have to wait for Hilbert to post the box score later.
1:55 PM Eastern-- Hilbert women come into this contest 1-11, 0-4 in the AMCC. Moreover, Hilbert already lost a conference game this season by 42 points already. Only thing you can conclude from this one is that CWRU will be ready for Saturday. Anything else seems like stat-padding on a very weak DIII women's basketball team.
2:16 PM Eastern-- CWRU 72, Hilbert 34 End of 3rd quarter.
2:36 PM Eastern-- CWRU 86, Hilbert 47 Final. Carnegie Mellon and La Roche women warming up on live stream at Wiegand Gym in Pittsburgh, PA, while the CWRU men will take on Hilbert at the same time.

I do not know what this means in terms of how close NYU is in terms of lifting the athletics suspension and allowing its teams to return to intercollegiate competition, but NYU Athletics sent out a tweet this afternoon announcing its new spectator policy. The updated policy was announced at 1:34 PM Eastern Tuesday January 4, 2022.
It states that if/when NYU teams return to intercollegiate competition, there will be no spectators allowed at NYU home events at least through January.
In addition, it states that the NYU athletic facilities (Palladium, Brooklyn Athletic Facility, and 404 Fitness) still remain closed to the NYU community for the time being. gonyuathletics.com/news/2022/1/4/general-nyu-athletics-announces-updated-spectator-policy.aspx (http://gonyuathletics.com/news/2022/1/4/general-nyu-athletics-announces-updated-spectator-policy.aspx)

Rochester at RIT is in warmups, and we have a DI style commentary crew and presentation tonight for this game, rivaling Macs Live of Yeshiva. Not surprised, since RIT competes in DI College Hockey, and their RIT Sportszone crew is trained to be very professional when doing commentary for hockey, and it carries over to the DIII teams.
The presentation is called RIT Sportszone Live.
Home opener for RIT women's basketball this season.
7:09 PM Eastern-- The quality of this PxP and color commentatory is making me think of what would happen if DIII basketball were called by Sportsnet Canada's "Hockey Night in Canada" crew.
7:18 PM Eastern-- End of 1st quarter-- Rochester 17, RIT 11.
PxP being called by Ralph "Rocky" Perrotta, who is the PA announcer for RIT Hockey, and the fill-in PA for the NHL's Buffalo Sabres.
7:38 PM Eastern-- Halftime-- Rochester 41, RIT 22

Looks like Rochester is ready for UAA play to start.
The big highlight of the night for me is listening to a DI college hockey PA announcer on play by play on a women's college basketball game.
The UAA has some professional PxP and color commentators, but other than the Stevens Tech soccer games, I usually do not get to hear PxP on DIII sports by someone primarily with a hockey background.

Traveling party limits are pretty common in many conferences, I think partly so hosts aren't scrambling for seats right before the game. There are also conferences where the home team is responsible for gameday meals and other expenses that might go up with more players.

19 players for Rochester played tonight, and it was a showcase game for everyone on the Rochester roster. Starters only played 18 to 20 minutes.
(BTW, when Rochester plays UAA conference games on the road, UAA rules dictate that Rochester can only play 14 players if travelling by air, and 15 players if travelling by bus. There is no limit on how many players Rochester can play in games played at the Palestra.)
Why the difference in limits for visitor vs host?
Traveling party limits are pretty common in many conferences, I think partly so hosts aren't scrambling for seats right before the game. There are also conferences where the home team is responsible for gameday meals and other expenses that might go up with more players.
That's correct. In the UAA, basketball teams when they make their roster, also have to decide in October or November about reserving plane tickets for the mandatory team flights on road weekends that the teams must take to get to their destinations. If a team has to travel by air for at least part of the weekend trip, it is considered a team "travelling by air" for competitive travel squad size purposes. For a team to be considered as "travelling by bus" for the road weekend, the entirety of the trip has to be by bus.
Also, there is a tradition in the UAA, and it is codified for basketball in the UAA Basketball Code of Conduct, that the host team must host a social involving players and coaches of both competing teams after the first game of the UAA basketball doubleheader on Fridays and Sundays, where the players and coaches of both teams that played the first game would sit down, talk, and eat a post game meal. The host team arranges the catering for the meal. In the past, the women's basketball teams would have a social on Fridays, and the men's basketball teams on Sundays. For the next 2 basketball seasons, the social will be for the men's basketball teams since they will play first each Friday and Sunday. After that, the women's basketball teams will have socials each Friday and Sunday for the following 2 years. (Of course, in the pandemic era, how exactly the social will be conducted remains to be seen.)
If the UAA game is on Saturday due to it being a game where the travel partners play each other, the host team has the option of hosting socials for both the men's and women's basketball teams that day.
Travel squad/bench squad size rules are nothing new. In addition to conferences having these rules, the NCAA Tournaments have these competitive squad size rules as well for determining "per diem" benefits.

Another thing that I want to note about UAA teams with very large rosters--
Traditionally, Wash U always had the biggest rosters for basketball from the days when John Schael was athletic director and the basketball coaches were Nancy Fahey on the women's side and Mark Edwards on the men's side.
Half of the players on those basketball rosters were the players that would be on the JV teams-- Wash U is one of the few UAA basketball schools that traditionally also had a JV team. Brandeis never had a JV team in the history of the UAA.

Brandeis Athletics has yet to send out a tweet to confirm, but the NYU at Brandeis women's basketball game is still scheduled for Saturday, January 8, 2022, now with a rescheduled tip for 2 PM Eastern due to the postponement of the NYU at Brandeis men's basketball game to a future date that was earlier announced today. Since this was announced today, the postponement of the men's game is probably due to COVID-19 protocols among the Brandeis men's basketball team-- NYU has until tomorrow to announce that they would not send the basketball teams to Boston if the postponement was due to dangerous travel conditions due to COVID-19/NYU Athletics ban. Also, the fact that the women's basketball game rescheduled their tip leads me to believe that it was COVID-19 protocols among the Brandeis men's basketball team that postponed the first game of the scheduled doubleheader. If the issue was with NYU, both games would have been announced as postponed at the same time.

Brandeis women's basketball schedule:
brandeisjudges.com/sports/wbkb/2021-22/schedule (http://brandeisjudges.com/sports/wbkb/2021-22/schedule)

The UAA women's basketball schedule site has confirmed it as well:
uaasports.info/sports/wbkb/2021-22/schedule (http://uaasports.info/sports/wbkb/2021-22/schedule)
IMO, the odds that a women's basketball game at Brandeis will be played on Saturday have increased from earlier in the week, since if the NYU women's basketball game was going to be postponed due to the suspension of NYU Athletics activity on December 15, the women's basketball game would have been announced as postponed at the same time as the men's basketball game. Instead, the tip time for the NYU at Brandeis women's basketball game was rescheduled to be 1 hour earlier.
Of course, I will believe that NYU at Brandeis on the women's side will be played if the schedule still remains the same on Saturday morning, and if there are warmups on the livestream from the Auerbach Arena on Saturday afternoon just before scheduled tip time.
2:02 PM Eastern update-- I do now believe that NYU has decided to lift the Athletics suspension in part with regards to the basketball teams so that they can compete in UAA action. NYU has digitally published a game program today for the home games of January 14 and 16 vs CWRU and Carnegie Mellon with stats through January 7 for both basketball teams. The digital program is practically a huge book that in previous years I used to get in physical form when I went to NYU basketball games at Coles. The physical version of the program had the College Hoops Illustrated magzine for the month as an insert. The NYU digital game program is very similar to a media yearbook that other UAA teams published in physical form back in the day.

I was told that NYU was reevaluating their situation earlier this week. I am not in the least bit surprised they decided to move forward.
And a number of men's and women's teams are having games called off for one but not the other ... because the virus is only affecting one team over another right now.

Yes, apparently the tweet that NYU Athletics sent out on Tuesday, January 4, announcing the new spectator policy for NYU home events in January also was the tweet announcing the lifting of the NYU Athletics suspension, but it was coded in a way that I did not know what it meant at first. The situation with NYU Men's Wrestling not going to Ursinus this weekend for a meet may have been a continuation of the ban on athletic travel or it may have been something else, but it took until today to clarify what the Jan. 4 tweet meant.

I suspect the wrestling situation is an isolated item. Ursinus MBB had postponed their game from last night against Washington College. There is a chance they have their own COVID issues going on (women played, FYI).

No commentary for NYU at Brandeis women's basketball game today.
I would have liked to hear Jonah White and Jesse Lieberman give their takes today from remote locations, but Brandeis does not have the technology to sync remote commentary.
So, no live commentary today for that game. I will make do.

Not only is there no commentary for the NYU at Brandeis women's game, there is no audio either, as the microphone is not turned on so I cannot even hear the background noise from Auerbach Arena. All I am getting is live video, but the game is under way.
Easier to follow the game on live stats with the video in the background.

That caps off an exciting first weekend for UAA women's basketball
The only thing slightly off about this weekend was that not only were the Brandeis crew not able to get at least Jonah White to come back to do commentary for NYU vs Brandeis-- they could not find a fill-in commentator, nor could they be able to get a second feed for someone to do remote commentary-- or at least a "Manningcast".
(You may think that I should be crazy to wish for some commentary and just be glad that the games were played. I am glad the games were played, but if you have to stay home to watch the game, you may want some commentary to make it worthwhile. The other 3 UAA women's basketball games were able to get commentary today.)
The largest margin of victory today was NYU's 8 point win over Brandeis. That is something about the competitiveness this weekend.

WashU's Jessica Brooks has put her name in for consideration to become the UAA Women's Basketball Player of the Year. After a 23-point personal best to close out non-conference play against Greenville, Jessica topped that today with 32 points at the U. of Chicago.
Brooks is averaging 12.1 ppg and 5.7 rpg, second on the team in both categories to Maya Arnott, but Brooks might pass her soon.

jaybird44, you must be getting those averages from the WashU web site, which has 11 games of stats while listing a 7-5 record.
Those totals are missing the stats from the December 19 72-65 loss at Millikin.
Here are the 12 game stats for WashU :

Unless WashU wins the league and she's the leading scorer, I don't see that happening. Abbey Lawrence is putting up 24 PPG for Case, and Klaire Steffens is averaging 17 PPG and 9 RPG for the Maroons. And if NYU runs away with the league this year (that's my prediction), their best player will likely get the nod.

I can consider Jessica Brooks frontrunner for Sophomore Rookie of the Year if the UAA is not officially awarding that title for basketball this season.
Traditionally, the Rookie of the Year has to be a first year player, but there was no Association play last season due to the pandemic.
I can't see why the fans of the UAA cannot unofficially create the title of Sophomore Rookie of the Year for this sport this season if the UAA is not officially voting an award for the position just for this season. That can be in addition to the traditional award.

Also, you have to consider the NYU women's team the frontrunner to win the UAA. Not only are the non-conference stats for NYU backing it up, but the coaches did vote for NYU to win the UAA in the Association Coaches preseason poll even before NYU crushed Cabrini, Wesleyan, and Brooklyn-- 3 teams that traditionally challenged NYU in the past.
I never expected that any UAA women's basketball team could get a 50 point lead in a game over any NESCAC women's basketball team until NYU did it this season. The two leagues are similar to each other academically and athletically in basketball.

However, it did happen that recently, there was an Association Player of the Year that came from a team that did not win the Association Championship in women's basketball.
It last happened in the 2017-18 season, when Chicago won the UAA, but Kaitlyn Read of NYU got voted as Player of the Year due to her excellence in UAA play that season.
Jessica Brooks put in 2 great performances in the past 2 games, but I am not quite sure that she is in Kaitlyn Read's league just yet.

Major Brandeis highlights yesterday--
1.) Camila Casanueva became the 10th player in Brandeis women's basketball history to join the 1,000 point club yesterday, and the first to do it since former UAA Player of the Year Jessica Chapin (Brandeis '10) did it in the 2009-10 season.
Jessica Chapin is currently the athletic director at DII American International College in Springfield, MA (in the NE10).
2.) Kerry Tanke scored a career high 20 points for Brandeis to lead all scorers, and naturally, that is her first 20+ point game of her college career.

After 679 days of waiting, the UAA got a lot of bonus basketball yesterday with OT games between Rochester/Emory and WashU/Chicago.
That was an impressive performance by the WashU sophomore guard off the bench. It looks like the Bears are coming together after a slow start.

The youngsters are starting to figure things out...especially winning close games on the road. And they are gaining quite a bit of confidence in short order.
Jessica Brooks, Karisa Grandison, Brenna Loftus, Sabrina DelBello, and Lauren Chao have all made significant strides so far this season. They have bolstered the efforts of veterans Maya Arnott, Samantha Weaver, Molly Gannon, and Sammi Mautoush. WashU has kept winning even when Arnott missed a couple of games. I think the Bears are still a year away from UAA championship contention, but they might just speed that timetable up a bit. We'll see.
While I certainly understand that 23 points vs. Greenville and 32 points in her first UAA opener does not cinch a UAA POY award, I think it merits putting Jessica Brooks on that radar. Lots of basketball left to be played, to be sure. But. after an 0-4 start, WashU has won 7 of its last 8 and is fast becoming a team to be reckoned with in the UAA. Brooks figures to be a central figure in that reckoning.

Jessica Brooks probably has qualified to be on the UAA POY ballot, but if the vote were held now, the sample size of data is too limited to justify voting her POY at this time. However, Wash U was picked second in the UAA women's preseason coaches poll, so the win over Chicago (the 4th place pick) at the Ratner Center yesterday perhaps wasn't too surprising. One test is going to be if Wash U can sweep NYU in what may end up a modern day revival of the classic rivalry from the late 1990s between the Nancy Fahey coached Wash U teams and the Janice Quinn coached NYU teams, (which also extended to the years when NYU had Jessica McEntee playing and the two teams met for a third time in the season in Springfield, MA in a national semifinal for the DIII title) only this time, with a new generation of coaches. The more immediate test is going to come this upcoming week when Wash U plays Rochester and Emory on the road-- let's see if the Bears can sweep that road trip and return to the Wash U Field House at 3-0 in the UAA.
And of course, while the first of the four losses of the 0-4 start was by double digits, the other 3 were by a single possession and could have been wins in other years with a more experienced Wash U team. So, Wash U could easily have been a 10-2 team right now with a more experienced roster.
My hope right now is that we can successfully complete a UAA season at this time and not be forced to have the athletic directors (Primary Athletic Administrators) ask the university presidents to cancel the entire winter sports season in the middle due to being prevented by Omicron from safely travelling and playing a complete slate of UAA games. Hopefully the athletic directors can come up with a reasonable solution to reschedule any UAA games that cannot be played right now and not have too many UAA games in February to make up.

One other note right now:
Coach Ellonya "Tiny" Green (a DIII basketball pioneering legend in his own right-- played for Upsala on the national semifinal team in 1980) may have been a little disappointed that one of his former students, Chloe Teter, did not see action on Saturday vs Brandeis, but he would certainly be pleased at the performance of Erin Martin in her UAA debut vs Rochester, and he definitely would be proud of the fact that Kerry Tanke got her first 20 point game of her college career on Saturday vs NYU. (All three went to his "Nothing But Skills" basketball school in New Jersey.)
I am starting to believe that ronk has a position similar to what Coach Green does-- develop players when they are young and make sure they get to go to good colleges that fit their skill levels academically and athletically.

No, Tiny does the hard work of training the youngsters, prepping them to play better at whatever level they choose; I, on the other hand, as an avocation, evaluate prospects in high school for suitability to play at the highest level of D3, no work at all except for traipsing from court to court for many hours in a 30-court facility. ;)

Final from Auerbach Arena in Waltham, MA--
Carnegie Mellon 77, Brandeis 63
Carnegie Mellon outscored Brandeis 45-27 in the second half-- 31-12 in the third quarter.
CMU improves to 8-3, 2-0 in the UAA
Brandeis drops to 5-6, 0-2 in the UAA
Live stats went down in the third quarter, so I will have to wait until the box score gets posted to get a Caitlyn Clenendin stat line.
8:33 PM Eastern update-- Brandeis is slowly inputting all of the plays from the handwritten manual scorebook into the live stats system by hand, so a final box score has not yet been posted. The live stats and play by play have been updated to the middle of the fourth quarter, but the live stats are really "live on tape", as the game actually finished over an hour ago.

No real favorite that I have for UAA AOW in women's basketball right now- through Friday's games- lots of good performances, however--
1.) Catherine Or of Carnegie Mellon's 19 pts 9 rebounds last night-- outscoring the entire Brandeis team 13-12 in the third quarter.
2.) Belle Pellecchia's 7 steals vs CWRU last night to help NYU get the win.
3.) Klaire Steffens of Chicago getting a double double with 11 pts and 11 rebounds against Rochester.
4.) Caitlyn Clenendin's 18 pts, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists vs Brandeis
5.) Erica Miller leading NYU with 17 pts vs CWRU.
6.) Abby Gress with 14 rebounds vs Chicago.
However, no 20/10 games last night on the UAA women's side to get a solid advantage for a player on the AOW race.

Now the Emory PxP women's basketball commentator is telling the story of the NFL's Pottsville (PA) Maroons from the 1920's, who later played as the Boston (MA) Bulldogs in the 1929 season.
(It was not Chris Mooneyham, as he only does PxP for the Emory men's basketball games-- first name of the women's PxP commentator is John-not sure of the last name.)
Emory leading, 40-32, with 2:34 left in the third quarter.

Here is the Caitlyn Clendenin stat line for today--
Caitlyn Clendenin has fouled out with 4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 turnovers, and 1 steal for Carnegie Mellon today.
(Note-- if NYU PxP commentator Russ Steinberg is thinking that the Carnegie Mellon Tartans are the second best women's basketball team in the UAA right now, he has not watched any video of Wash U this season and especially not any video of Jessica Brooks.)

Just watched a few mins of 1st half today and was impressed with NYU, especially some aggressive individual guards, taking it to the hoop and defending, also.
NYU assistant Audrey Cunningham was among my earliest prospects years(12) ago.

In case people were watching Brandeis women's basketball on live stream this weekend and wondering why there were people watching the game on temporary metal stands on the track surronding the Auerbach Arena court, Brandeis made a minor modification to the spectator policy that took effect just a few hours before Friday's game vs Carnegie Mellon.
As of January 14, Brandeis students, faculty, and staff that were currently on-campus that weekend (hopefully, not too many are on campus right now since Brandeis is doing all remote classes academically for the rest of January) were able to attend the Brandeis women's basketball home games vs Carnegie Mellon and Case Western Reserve provided that they showed a green campus passport at the gate. The green campus passport indicated that they had recently submitted a PCR test no more than 72 hours before the contest and got a negative result on that test.
Brandeis students, faculty, and staff who have not yet returned to campus were still subject to the same no-spectator ban that applied to people outside the immediate Brandeis community and had to watch the Brandeis home games on live stream over the past weekend. In order to gain the privilege of attending Brandeis home athletic events in February, they will have to take regular PCR testing once or twice a week upon returning to campus.

I just listened to the replay of last night's Women's Top 25 Double Take on which the panelists scottiedawg and Brendan Gulick picked NYU (#9/WBCA #4) as their "dubious" team this week. Apparently, the blowout wins in non-conference vs Cabrini, Wesleyan, and Brooklyn did not impress the panel all that much, and neither did the stats incurred in non-conference play.
Fortunately, NYU (the preseason UAA Women's Basketball coaches pick to win the AQ) is starting a 4 game road trip over the next 2 weekends at Wash U (the #2 pick), at Chicago, (the #4 pick), at Rochester (#3 pick) and at Emory (#5 pick).
These next 4 games will prove whether NYU deserved to be the front-runner pick to win the league this season, or if the UAA women's race gets blown wide open.
Also of note-- last Sunday, even though NYU defeated Carnegie Mellon by 21 points, the Violets lost the battle of the boards last Sunday by 10. This was the first game all season in which NYU got outrebounded.
Tonight will be a long night for me to stay up and watch the women's games-- as NYU at Wash U does not tip until 7:30 PM Central/8:30 PM Eastern.
On another note, it was revealed on last night's "Double Take" that NYU women's basketball coach Meg Barber is expected to be a guest on the next Hoopsville show on Monday.

NYU looked good. After a pretty even 1st quarter, they dominated the rest of the way. The refs were pretty whistle happy--the game didn't seem too physical. almost 60 total fouls is a lot.

This is turning out to be NYU's toughest challenge so far this season-- Chicago has the height to match up with NYU, the Maroons are playing great defense, and this is the first UAA game for NYU with spectators in attendance in the building this season.
Also, the NYU women have not won at the Ratner Center since 2016.

I just want to inform readers of this forum that while I will be able to watch UAA basketball games tonight, my ability to watch games on Sunday will depend on whether or not I have power in my apartment at game time Sunday morning and afternoon.
A blizzard warning takes effect for all of Eastern Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island at midnight tonight and is expected to last all day Saturday into early Sunday morning. Wind gusts of up to 60 mph along with snowfall rates of 2 to 5 inches an hour are expected in my area tomorrow.
Hopefully my power will stay on tomorrow through this blizzard so that I can watch the Sunday games.

Sounds like a substantial storm; if your electricity does go out, don't be worrying about basketball.
Hopefully nothing like frozen water pipes or lack of heat occurs.

Lets hear it for Caitlyn!! Thought she was capable of this performance when I evaluated her years ago, but didn't watch because of the Rochester paywall.

Today is Brandeis Senior Day at Auerbach Arena. Prior to the women's game vs Wash U, Brandeis will honor the accomplishments of Kerry Tanke and Camila Casanueva. I will be at Auerbach Arena today to watch both games of the UAA doubleheader:

I am very glad that I got to see both Brandeis basketball teams win home UAA games on Senior Day, and I am extra glad that I was able to see it in person.
I was not sure that I would be able to see the entire Brandeis women's basketball game today, as I had a mandatory getaway time to leave Brandeis and take my ride back home at 3:50 PM Eastern. Therefore, I watched the second half of the basketball game standing at the Gosman Center mezzanine level ready to put on my coat at 3:45 PM Eastern and be prepared to watch overtime on my smartphone if necessary.
Fortunately, I only had to miss the last 5 seconds of the game in person, but I was able to see the final moments of the Brandeis win over Wash U on my smartphone as I was leaving.
Extra fortunate that Brandeis was able to stick to their game plan and pull off a win over Wash U even though Camila Casanueva's college career came to an end last weekend due to an injury. Emma Reavis stepped in and almost had a triple double to lead Brandeis in the win. Reavis had a career high 18 points, a career high 12 rebounds, and had 9 assists. Senior Kerry Tanke also had a double double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. First year student Caitlin Gresko followed with 10 points for Brandeis-- all of those points scored in the second half.
Brandeis defense was able to hold Wash U to 31.6% shooting from the field for the game, and Brandeis outrebounded Wash U 43-38, 11-10 on the offensive glass.
There was no official Alumni Club event today, but I had a good time watching this game in-person even with my N95 respirator on.

More things from Brandeis women's basketball's victory over Wash U today--
First win at home over Wash U since the 2007-08 season.
Combined with today's men's basketball victory, today marked the first time in the history of the UAA that Brandeis pulled off a home basketball doubleheader sweep over the Wash U Bears.

Going into this final weekend-- it is getting very likely that the UAA will only send its AQ to the NCAAs in women's basketball this year, and that the UAA will not receive any Pool C bids. A rare situation in the UAA for this sport, but NYU has been so dominant in the UAA this season and no other team in the UAA has also stood out from the rest of the league. (Every other UAA team aside from NYU has 8 or more losses going into this weekend.)
Hopefully, NYU will make a deep run and get to Pittsburgh for this year's "Final Four".
Games for this final UAA weekend--
Saturday, February 26, 2022
1.) Brandeis at NYU-- Tip from the Brooklyn Athletic Facility at 1 PM Central/2 PM Eastern.
First (and hopefully last) time that a UAA Women's Basketball game will have to be played there.
The other games have a 3 PM Central/4 PM Eastern tip--
2.) Rochester at Emory
3.) Carnegie Mellon at Case Western Reserve
4.) Chicago at Wash U

If there is one game that I wished that could have been played this season that could have helped the UAA, it would have been Washington & Lee playing at Emory. That game got cancelled due to COVID-19 issues, and as a result, Emory lost a vital data point in Region 6 in how the Eagles would have fared vs the top teams in the ODAC.
On a personal note, I would have liked to see Brandeis women's basketball alum Christine Clancy have her Generals play Emory this season, and that is the one non-conference game that got cancelled that I miss. This was the year to do it, as the Generals are now the #1 seed in the ODAC tournament, and Coach Clancy got named ODAC Coach of the Year in women's basketball this season. Washington & Lee got their program record 20th win of the season today with their quarterfinal win over Guilford, and hopefully, the Generals will be able to win the AQ from the ODAC this weekend.

Tremendous result for Chicago last night over Whitewater.
Massey really likes the UAA -> 7 teams in the top 63.
Carnegie Mellon and Case Western haven't played tough schedules at all, but that all changes once league play arrives.

Final from Wiegand Gym in Pittsburgh today--
Wash & Jeff 56, Carnegie Mellon 48
Carnegie Mellon suffers their first loss of the year, dropping to 8-1, with the Tartans's next opponent being the reigning national champion Hope Flying Dutch. Wash & Jeff, the reigning Presidents Athletic Conf champions, improve to 10-1, 7-0 in the PAC with 11 PAC conference games remaining before the conference tournament for the Presidents. CMU starts UAA play on January 7, 2023 at Case Western Reserve after the Tartans play their final 2 non-conference games at Ohio Wesleyan on Dec. 29 and 30.
Only two Tartans scoring in double figures today, Catherine Or and first year player Ava Black.
CMU shooting splits today: 26/4/93-- 1 of 27 from 3 pt range. That is not going to win you a lot of ball games.
UAA now off until Thursday, Dec. 29 on the women's side-- on Dec. 29, Wash U is at UW-Oshkosh, Carnegie Mellon plays Hope at Ohio Wesleyan, and NYU hosts Stockton at the Brooklyn Athletic Facility as part of NYU's Holiday Classic.
UChicago and NYU are undefeated heading into the holiday break, with UChicago at 10-0 and NYU at 8-0 (NYU's home non-conference game vs Pratt was cancelled a few weeks ago).
Wash & Jeff 56, Carnegie Mellon 48
Carnegie Mellon suffers their first loss of the year, dropping to 8-1, with the Tartans's next opponent being the reigning national champion Hope Flying Dutch. Wash & Jeff, the reigning Presidents Athletic Conf champions, improve to 10-1, 7-0 in the PAC with 11 PAC conference games remaining before the conference tournament for the Presidents. CMU starts UAA play on January 7, 2023 at Case Western Reserve after the Tartans play their final 2 non-conference games at Ohio Wesleyan on Dec. 29 and 30.
Only two Tartans scoring in double figures today, Catherine Or and first year player Ava Black.

I was just looking up the 3 pt season shooting stats for the 3-6 Brandeis Judges women's basketball team. At least through their first 9 games, Brandeis has been shooting 26.1% from 3 pt range, while the season low being 20% on 5-25 shooting from 3 pt range vs Babson, and the season high being 31.6% from 3 pt range on 6-19 shooting from 3 pt range, accomplished in 2 separate games-- a loss vs Maine Maritime, and a win against Emerson-- both games being played at Auerbach Arena.
Not the best shooting from 3 pt range, but definitely better so far than what the Tartans did today. 4% from 3 pt range is ugly, anyway you put it.
Update-- BTW, I looked up the last time Brandeis shot 4% from 3 pt range in a game. It happened last season for the Judges in UAA play at Emory. (1-23 from 3 pt range for the Judges down in Atlanta last season.)

2.) Case Western Reserve University at Rochester is underway, but there appears to have been an injury to #33 Sarah Mitchell of the Spartans early in the first quarter. Rochester up 6-5 with 5:51 left in first quarter.

Momentary scare in the Palestra late in the first quarter when Katie Titus, Rochester's best player, took an awkward step and fell down, but she seems to be all right at the moment and back on the University of Rochester bench. I'm hoping that it is just a cramp in her ankle and she will be back.
Rochester is up 16-15 at the end of the first quarter.
Update-- Katie Titus is back on the floor playing at the start of the second quarter.

This will delay the start of the men's basketball game in Atlanta as well.

i am not surprised that without Jordan Janowski playing this year due to injury, NYU could lose more than 1 UAA road game this season.
Chicago is just the first potential road trap, with Wash U to follow on Sunday and the U of R Palestra to follow later this season.

End of the third quarter in Chicago--
UChicago 55, NYU 37
I am going to have to watch the fourth quarter on livestream right now. This is looking like this will be UChicago's biggest win since Aaron Roussell coached the Maroons-- if this scoreline holds.
When was the last time the UChicago women beat a #1 ranked team in either the D3Hoops.com or the WBCA poll? This is going to be very exciting for the fans at Ratner Center if this scoreline happens.
Trust me, I got excited in 2000-01 when an Emmanuel team led by my then hometown captain Brianne Bognanno of Canton, MA beat then WBCA #1 NYU at Coles Center in Manhattan in the Elite Eight (captained by Meg Barber), and you can perhaps forgive me for bringing this up right now.....
That Emmanuel win marked the arrival of Andy Yosinoff as a legend in D3Hoops, and this UChicago win, if it holds, will mean the arrival of Maria Noucas Williamson as one of the new great coaches in the modern era of UAA Women's Hoops.

It looks like all of the home teams will win tonight on the women's side-- which means there will be a new #1 when the D3Hoops.com poll gets released on Monday.
It also looks like UChicago will break into the top 10 in the D3Hoops.com poll as a result of their victory over NYU tonight. Score is not yet final, but UChicago has a safe lead.

Incredible buzzer beater Friday night to lift the Eagles over Carnegie Mellon. Let's see what happens today when the Eagles host Case Western Reserve.
I am also looking forward later today to see if NYU can bounce back at Wash U in as strong of a manner as the Violets did last year at Emory.

At the Palestra in Rochester, NY, the 4th quarter is about to start with Rochester holding a safe lead over Carnegie Mellon, 75-55. Rochester looks headed to victory today.
Last time Rochester defeated Carnegie Mellon on the women's side at the Palestra was in January, 2018.
At the WoodPEC in Atlanta, Emory leading over CWRU, 38-31, with 5:35 left in the third quarter.
The Midwest games have tipped off.
In St. Louis-- Wash U up 8-4 over NYU with 6:17 left in the first quarter.

NYU's home weekend of games vs Emory and Rochester, initially scheduled to be played at 181 Mercer Street, has been moved to the Brooklyn Athletic Facility due to a pipe burst earlier this month or last month in the basement of the Paulson Center, which has caused the entire NYU basketball floor at 181 Mercer Street to have to be resurfaced.

I just got word from Jeff Bernstein of NYU via email this afternoon.
Due to the pipe burst at the basement of the Paulson Center, scratch any thoughts of opening the new Mercer Street court this season. All remaining NYU home games this season will be played at the 125 seat Brooklyn Athletic Facility at 6 Metrotech Center in Brooklyn. Great to watch via streaming, not so great for fans to attend games in person. Goodness knows how these seats are going to be distributed from game to game.
To borrow a phrase from Bugs Bunny from the cartoon "8 Ball Bunny"-- "Brooklyn? Oooooh, I'm dyin again, already!" LOL.
Anyway, I just cancelled my train ticket and hotel reservation for February 24, 2023. Maybe I can make the trip next January of 2024, when Brandeis is next scheduled to play at NYU after this basketball season is over.

Scoreboard on live video stream from Ratner Center has it at UChicago 34, Emory 28 at the half.
Live stats still have it as UChicago 32, Emory 26 at the break.
Looks like UChicago 34, Emory 28 at the half is the correct score, as the scorer is trying to update the live stats with who scored the last bucket before the half for UChicago.

Wash U is a consistent factor on the national level in women's D3hoops
Webster has pretty much dominated Women's basketball at the SLiAC level for the past half dozen years
These two schools are within 2 miles of each other... the men's teams meet each year
Question with a smirk on my face....WHY DON'T THE LADIES PLAY EACH OTHER?
Is Webster nervous they may get beat badly.... or is Wash U nervous of an upset by the lightly regarded SLIAC (as has occurred in Men's hoops)?

History of the Wash U vs Webster women's basketball series-- (BTW, Wash U and Webster are about 5 miles down Big Bend Blvd on Google maps-- the NCAA mileage calculator has the two schools 7 miles apart. Fontbonne and Wash U are much closer, with the Fontbonne campus located at the corner of Wydown and Big Bend Blvds, directly across the street from the Wash U campus.)
Back when Wash U was coached by Nancy Fahey, the two teams did play each other on a regular/semi-regular basis. The series started in the 1987-88 year and ended in the 2015-16 season. During that time, Wash U and Webster played each other 17 times, with Wash U winning 16 of those 17 games-- most of them by huge margins. The last time the Gorloks and the Bears played each other was in the 2015-16 season with Wash U winning that one by a score of 90-39. The coach of the Gorloks at that time was the current head coach of the Gorloks, Jordan Olufson.
Webster's only win vs Wash U came in the 2004-05 season when the Gorloks defeated the Bears in the regular season by a score of 78-59. However, Wash U got its revenge later that year when the two teams met in the first round of the NCAA DIII tournament in the last year that the tournament had a field of 50. On March 2, 2005, Wash U won in the NCAA first round game vs Webster by a score of 62-35 before getting eliminated by Millikin in the second round a few days later.
BTW, that Webster win in 2004-05 is not the most famous win by a SLIAC team over the Wash U women's basketball team. In the 2000-01 season, the Fontbonne Griffins ended Wash U's 81 game winning streak when the Griffins defeated Wash U at Mabee Gym by a score of 79-68. The Wash U vs Fontbonne series is the most played series by a SLiAC women's basketball team vs Wash U to date with over 40 games played and Fontbonne only defeating Wash U 4 times in the history of the Griffins women's basketball program.
PS-- Greenville, a SLIAC team, defeated the Wash U women this season by a score of 79-70. This season was the first time since 1982-83 (a/k/a the Gaye Kinnett era) that the Greenville Panthers defeated Wash U in a women's basketball game, and only the 6th time in the history of the Greenville Panthers women's basketball team overall. Greenville won their first five meetings vs Wash U back when Wash U was coached by Gaye Kinnett, with two of those five wins occurring in the 1982-83 season.

While I appreciate the history and geography, it doesn't address the question as to why Webster and Wash U don't play each other... note, while you show the history with Wash U swamping Webster, those games ended just before the Webster program improved dramatically. Of course I don't expect you to have an answer, but it's out there as an interesting question... perhaps our 1-2 St. Louis punch (Yjack and WuPiffff) could pose the question to their contacts....

Of course, I would not know the answer as to why Wash U and Webster currently do not play each other in women's hoop. That is a scheduling question that is best left to their current athletic departments. That being said, I just wanted to give a history of the series, for background.
I will leave the question of non-conference scheduling of the two basketball programs to their respective athletic departments and anyone in the immediate Illinois/Missouri area who may have some pull in this.
PS-- hopefully the DIII Women's Basketball Committee can pair the two teams up as a first round game this year should both Wash U and Webster qualify.

Could totally happen! I think WashU is currently a "#1 seed" but could end up as a "#2 seed" by Selection Sunday. It's likely the only SLIAC representative will be the conference championship winner; and that winner should be about a "#3 seed".

With 3 games to play, Wash U and NYU are currently tied for first place at 9-2 in the UAA women's basketball standings. The co-leaders have split 1-1 in the season series vs each other, so the first tiebreaker cannot break this tie. Wash U currently holds the advantage for the AQ based on the second tiebreaker, which is head to head between the co-leaders and the subsequent teams in the standings until the tie is broken.
Wash U is currently 1-0 vs third place team UChicago, which stands at 7-4 in the UAA. NYU and UChicago split their season series, 1-1, while Wash U still has to play at UChicago on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
Should Wash U and NYU finish at 12-2 in the UAA, UChicago would at best finish 9-5 in the UAA, and Emory would at best finish 8-6 in the UAA.
In that scenario, Wash U would clinch the AQ on the second tiebreaker due to their 2-0 series sweep vs third place team UChicago vs NYU's 1-1 split vs UChicago.
Contrary to what the NYU student broadcasting crew stated today in their webcast, overall standings have never been used to break conference ties for AQ in either men's or women's basketball in the UAA.

I have been reading Riley Zayas on Twitter this afternoon trying to apply UAA tiebreaker rules to various scenarios involving Wash U and NYU-- exploring the scenario of what would happen if Wash U and NYU finish as UAA co-champions with an 11-3 mark in the UAA.
I would like to clear up one thing-- even if Wash U and NYU finish at 11-3 with Wash U losing at UChicago to finish their series with UChicago at 1-1, (similar to that of NYU at 1-1 vs UChicago), the second tiebreaker will still break the tie for the AQ since NYU and Wash U will have lost to different opponents. It would depend on the order of finish of the subsequent teams.
Here is some info for potential tiebreaking scenarios right now.
Tiebreaker #2-- Results between co-leaders and subsequent finishers in the standings until the tie is broken.
Current third place team is UChicago. Wash U is 1-0 vs UChicago right now, while NYU finished 1-1 vs UChicago. Wash U currently has the advantage in tiebreaker #2 by virtue of not yet losing to UChicago.
Current fourth place team is Emory. Wash U finished 2-0 vs Emory, while NYU is 1-0 vs Emory right now.
Tied for fifth place in the standings are Rochester and CWRU. Wash U is 2-1 vs these 2 teams, while NYU is 3-0 vs these 2 teams.
Current seventh place team is Carnegie Mellon. Wash U is 1-0 vs Carnegie Mellon, while NYU finished 2-0 vs Carnegie Mellon.
Current last place team is Brandeis. Wash U finished 2-0 vs Brandeis, while NYU is 1-0 vs Brandeis.
Tiebreaker #3-- Better record in UAA conference road games.
Non-conference games are not used in this tiebreaker scenario-- only UAA conference road games
Wash U is 4-2 in UAA conference road play (Lost at CWRU, lost at NYU).
NYU is 3-2 in UAA conference road play (Lost at UChicago, lost at Wash U).

In case you didn't see my reply, thanks for correcting me! This was a short-sighted tweet on my part as I didn't think through all the scenarios for some reason. Appreciate you going through some of the possible scenarios and who has the advantage right now. Tiebreakers are not something we're used to in D3 since they're not used to determine the AQ in any conference except the UAA. Sometimes they'll decide conference tournament seeding but there's a lot more on the line here. I honestly won't be surprised to see WashU just win out and win the conference...we shall see!

Katie Titus of Rochester is having one of the top 10 performances by any UAA women's basketball player in a single UAA game so far. 15 made FGs, 39 points scored tonight so far by Katie Titus vs Brandeis.
Single game UAA records are currently held by former Carnegie Mellon player Lisa Murphy, who scored 44 points in a UAA game and made 16 FGs in a UAA game in 2017. Kara Hageman of CWRU also made 16 FGs in a UAA game in 2017.

I have noted the question about Tartan timeouts remaining in regulation with 1.8 seconds left-- Putting this question on hold for the time being and will try to answer it perusing through the play by play sheet tomorrow.
Give credit to UChicago for the comeback from 17 down-- Maroons did not play their best game tonight, but they at least are not mathematically eliminated from the race for the UAA title as of right now and will stay in the hunt heading to Sunday's game vs CWRU.
NYU's magic number to clinch the UAA title and the Pool A automatic bid is now at 2-- NYU can clinch it on Sunday with an NYU win at Rochester and a Wash U loss vs Carnegie Mellon.

NYU is now solely in possession of first place in the UAA-- 1 game lead over Wash U with 2 games left to play.
I believe that the score at the time was 68-68, and UChicago had just tied the game on a Mallory Broadnik lay-in (assist from Ellie Gross) just a few seconds after Catherine Orr of Carnegie Mellon laid it in to take a 68-66 lead.
I have tried to review the live stats play by play sheet of the game, and I am afraid that I cannot answer that question without going to an on-demand replay of the game, which unfortunately, UChicago will not do, as it does not archive their games to be accessed on demand.
Nevertheless, congrats to UChicago on the comeback-- the Maroons did defeat Carnegie Mellon in overtime to remain in third place, 2 games back of NYU with 2 games left. Carnegie Mellon remains in 7th place at 2-10 in the UAA, and the Tartans will most likely finish the UAA in 7th place in the women's division.

Ok thanks I will try to find out.Because after Chicago tied it at 68.Carnegie Mellon with 1.8 seconds could have called a time out and with 1.8 seconds that is plenty of time to score in regulation .Chicago tied the game only having 3.6 seconds (Chicago did exactly what Carnegie Mellon should have done if they had a T.O left )and leaving 1.8 on the board.

This was not the main women's game that I was watching from start to finish, as my attention was focused on the CWRU at Wash U game after NYU had won their game at Emory.
Had Carnegie Mellon won tonight, they would have had sole possession of 7th place in the UAA, with no realistic way for last place Brandeis to even catch them for a tie in the standings-- Brandeis would have been 2 games behind Carnegie Mellon in the standings with 2 games left. UChicago still would have remained in third place but with a 1 game lead over the group tied for 4th place rather than a 2 game lead.

What can happen today:
1.) NYU can clinch at least a share of the UAA women's basketball title this afternoon with a win over Rochester, or a Wash U loss vs Carnegie Mellon.
2.) NYU can clinch the UAA women's basketball championship outright, and the Pool A AQ bid to the NCAA DIII Women's Basketball Championshp, this afternoon with a win over Rochester and a Wash U loss to Carnegie Mellon.
3.) An NYU loss at Rochester, followed by a Wash U win over Carnegie Mellon, would create a tie for the UAA lead between Wash U and NYU at 10-3 in the UAA with 1 game left to play. Wash U would still have the tiebreaker advantage on second tiebeaker due to a 1-0 record vs third place team UChicago vs NYU's 1-1 split vs UChicago, but the race for the AQ would come down to the final day.

CWRU drops to 6-7 in the UAA, 15-9 overall.
Wash U 98, Carnegie Mellon 93
Wash U improves to 10-3 in the UAA, 17-7 overall. Wash U remains in second place in the UAA-- 1 game back of NYU with 1 game left. Wash U would clinch a share of the UAA title and the Pool A automatic bid on Saturday with a victory over UChicago if last place Brandeis defeats NYU on Friday. If that scenario happened, Wash U would clinch the AQ on the second tiebreaker by virtue of going 2-0 vs third place UChicago while NYU finished 1-1 vs UChicago.
NYU will clinch sole possession of the UAA Women's Basketball title and the Pool A automatic bid outright with a victory over Brandeis on Friday afternoon at the Brooklyn Athletic Facility. NYU women play Brandeis at 4 PM Eastern this upcoming Friday.
Carnegie Mellon drops to 2-11 in the UAA, 11-13 overall, and is eliminated from consideration for ECAC Tournament play.

Reviewing the race for the UAA Women's Basketball title and the AQ going into Friday's and Saturday's action--
This weekend marks the final day of UAA play-- as UAA play concludes with the travel partners playing each other to end the season.
NYU starts the weekend having been assured of at least a share of the UAA Women's Basketball title, but Wash U has the tiebreaker advantage on second tiebreaker due to results of Wash U v UChicago (Wash U leads 1-0 in that series this year) vs NYU v UChicago (NYU split 1-1 vs UChicago this season.) Therefore, NYU needs a win tomorrow to clinch the AQ.
Tip time for NYU Senior Day at the Brooklyn Athletic Facility vs Brandeis is tomorrow (Friday) at 4 PM Eastern.
Standngs of the top two teams in the UAA going into round 14-- (Post updated at 4:24 AM Eastern-- Friday, Feb.24, 2023)
1.) NYU-- 11-2 in the UAA, 21-2 overall. (Has clinched at least a Co-Championship-- win over Brandeis clinches outright Championship and AQ.)
2.) Wash U-- 10-3 in the UAA, 17-7 overall (Clinches a UAA Co-Championship and the AQ on second tiebreaker with a win over UChicago on Saturday if Brandeis defeats NYU today (Friday)).

Final from Brooklyn, NY--
NYU 85, Brandeis 62
Congratulations to NYU-- 2022-23 outright UAA Women's Basketball Champions-- AQ to NCAA DIII Women's Basketball Tournament
Per announcement from NYU play by play and color commentator crew-- NYU Violets will not be hosting NCAA DIII Tournament games this season due to their being forced to play UAA games in the small 180 seat Brooklyn Athletic Facility due to a pipe break in December in the basement of the Paulson Center at 181 Mercer Street in Manhattan that forced the delay of the opening of their new athletic facilities there.
Violets women's and men's basketball teams will be playing any NCAA tournament games on the road this season.
NYU finishes regular season at 12-2 in UAA, 22-2 overall-- UAA Women's Basketball Champions-- AQ to NCAA DIII tournament.
Brandeis finishes their season at 1-13 in UAA, 6-19 overall.

NYU could have arranged for a nearby school(Baruch, e.g.) to serve as a proxy host in their place and eliminate travel aspects of the tourney games; I wonder if they attempted it. They would have known in plenty of time that the women, at least, would be hosting the 1st, if not both, weekends. I'm remembering this happening in the past in the NYC area, maybe 10 years ago.

NYU would need to rent out and have complete control of the facility for the entirety of the time periods requested by the NCAA DIII Women's Basketball Committee during those weekend periods when the Tournament games and practices are to be held in order for NYU to host these games. Those rental costs would have to be put in as part of the paperwork.
If it was an easy feat for NYU to quickly rent out either Baruch or Hunter on short notice to play UAA or NCAA games this season, they would have done it. NYU has never rented out the Baruch facility, but the Violets did play UAA games at the Hunter Sportsplex pre-pandemic for 4 seasons, with a backup rental court at Pace University in Pleasantville, NY for use during the game nights when Hunter was not available for UAA games.
The same thing also applies to Pratt, which NYU rented out to host the UAA Volleyball Championships this year. The problem is, St. Francis Brooklyn, a DI team, is playing their basketball games at Pratt from now on due to the permanent closure of "the Pope" back in November when St. Francis Brooklyn moved from Remsen Street to a campus in downtown Brooklyn.
Last year, NYU already had a rental agreement in place with St. Francis Brooklyn to use "the Pope" for UAA home games, so it was easy enough to extend that existing rental agreement to use "the Pope" for first weekend NCAA DIII tournament games as well.
Who knows-- NYU may be playing first weekend this year at Brooklyn College, with Brooklyn running the facility for the weekend rather than NYU. The Brooklyn Bulldogs did win the CUNYAC, so maybe that was what NYU was hoping for.
Who also knows-- There are a lot of RRO teams in southern New England who are capable of hosting pods and probably have sent in paperwork. NYU fans will not mind travelling to the Boston or Providence areas (or even Connecticut) for first and second round games this year, as the Violets have a great first year player from Easton, MA who will draw in fans from the Oliver Ames HS team to watch the Violets play in the NCAAs.

Worth noting that all schools mentioned here (except Pace) are also in season for men's volleyball and their matches/practices probably take some precedence.

Halftime from the Palestra in Rochester, NY--
Rochester 29, Emory 27
This is the final day of UAA play for this season.
Upcoming tip times on the women's side--
CWRU at Carnegie Mellon-- 1 PM Eastern.
Wash U at UChicago-- 2 PM Eastern.
What is at stake in today's Emory at Rochester contest--
Historically, the DIII Women's Basketball Committee has not bucked the trend of taking a Pool C selection with a win/loss pct. below .667, unlike what the DIII Men's Basketball Committee did with WIAC teams UW-Oshkosh men 2016-17 (.630 w/l pct.) and UW-La Crosse men in 2018-19 season (.654 w/l pct.).
Emory comes into today's contest with a primary criteria w/l pct of .682 (15-7).
Emory also has a win over provisional team Asbury, which does not in the primary criteria this season.
Emory finishes the regular season at 16-7 (.696 w/l pct) with a victory at Rochester. An Emory loss drops the Eagles to 15-8 (.652) and likely out of the Pool C running.
Rochester comes into today's contest with a .667 w/l pct. (16-8 win/loss record). A Rochester win improves the Yellowjackets to a final regular season w/l pct. of .680 (17-8). A loss drops Rochester to .640 (16-9) and likely out of the Pool C picture.

Getting back to what happened in the NYC area a while back that affected hosting opportunities-- that would have been the time that the NCAA prohibited any Championship rounds in any sport from being held in New Jersey due to New Jersey's attempt to introduce sports betting in that state and attempt an eventual successful challenge to the then federal law prohibiting most US states from allowing legal sports betting to the US Supreme Court. The federal law prohibiting legal sports betting in most US states was ruled unconstiutional by the US Supreme Court, and that laid the groundwork for legal sports betting to become available in the majority of the United States.
This year, Massachusetts introduced retail legal sports betting on January 31, 2023, and mobile/internet sports betting will be able to be legally placed in Massachusetts starting March 10, 2023. Massachusetts customers can already travel to Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire and legally bet on sports in those states either by retail or mobile sports betting through an account in those states once the customer is physically present in the state where mobile sports betting is allowed and the customer has the account.
Also, any arguments about whether NYU could have been able to rent an alternative gym became moot after Friday, February 17, 2023, when paperwork for hosting was due. The top priority for NYU now is to get the athletic facilities in the Paulson Center at 181 Mercer Street in Manhattan fully on line and operational. To that end, NYU has posted on their athletics website that their new basketball arena is scheduled to be completed by June, 2023, when the flooding damage caused by the pipe burst in the Paulson Center basement back in December, 2022 is fully fixed by complete replacement of the new courts. The new court will definitely be available for the start of the 2023-24 season barring any other catastrophic incidents.

It wasn't moot for the month before that when it was evident that NYU women would be worthy of hosting the 1st weekend at a minimum and knew that their own facility had become unavailable. I would think the school owes it to the team to accommodate any hosting advantage that they have earned by their play, especially in lieu of all that they have had to endure the past few years.

NYU hosted NCAA women's basketball tournament first weekend games at "the Pope" at St. Francis Brooklyn last year because they came to an agreement with St. Francis Brooklyn to use that facility to host UAA games for that season. "The Pope" was permanantly closed in November of 2022, as I previously posted. I can't spit on NYU for not finding out until early January that the flooding damage at the Paulson Center basement was too extensive to have a basketball floor ready for any play there this season. NYU was planning back last September to have the basketball court at the new Paulson Center athletic facilities ready for UAA play this season. I had planned to go to New York last Friday for NYU Senior Day at the new facility at 181 Mercer Street in Manhattan, and had purchased train tickets and booked a hotel room for Friday night, February 24. My plan was to return to Boston on Amtrak on Saturday, Feb. 25 after the Friday games. I had to cancel those plans in mid January when I found out that the new gym was not going to be ready for basketball season after all due to the pipe burst. I had only learned first of the pipe burst when NYU was playing at Brandeis back on January 7, and even then, I was not aware of the extent of the damage. It was only about a week later that I learned that all of the UAA games were going to have to be played this year at the Brooklyn Athletic Facility, a place that NYU tried for years to avoid having UAA games played there-- 180 seats is practically too small to have the in-person attendance that you would expect to have at a UAA contest. Historically, home and visiting alumni clubs planned gatherings over the years around the UAA basketball games.
Honestly, I am seeing a lot of anger at NYU this season about the NCAA tournament that I honestly cannot understand. It is not like someone at NYU deliberately sabotaged a pipe to burst at 181 Mercer Street. As for me, I am using the money that I spent on Amtrak tickets to change my train trip to go to Hartford, CT via New Haven for the DIII Women's Basketball National Semifinals at Trinity (CT) on March 18.
Let's see where the bracket will have NYU go when it gets revealed today.

NYU could have arranged for a nearby school(Baruch, e.g.) to serve as a proxy host in their place and eliminate travel aspects of the tourney games; I wonder if they attempted it. They would have known in plenty of time that the women, at least, would be hosting the 1st, if not both, weekends. I'm remembering this happening in the past in the NYC area, maybe 10 years ago.
Getting back to what happened in the NYC area a while back that affected hosting opportunities-- that would have been the time that the NCAA prohibited any Championship rounds in any sport from being held in New Jersey due to New Jersey's attempt to introduce sports betting in that state and attempt an eventual successful challenge to the then federal law prohibiting most US states from allowing legal sports betting to the US Supreme Court. The federal law prohibiting legal sports betting in most US states was ruled unconstiutional by the US Supreme Court, and that laid the groundwork for legal sports betting to become available in the majority of the United States.
This year, Massachusetts introduced retail legal sports betting on January 31, 2023, and mobile/internet sports betting will be able to be legally placed in Massachusetts starting March 10, 2023. Massachusetts customers can already travel to Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire and legally bet on sports in those states either by retail or mobile sports betting through an account in those states once the customer is physically present in the state where mobile sports betting is allowed and the customer has the account.
Also, any arguments about whether NYU could have been able to rent an alternative gym became moot after Friday, February 17, 2023, when paperwork for hosting was due. The top priority for NYU now is to get the athletic facilities in the Paulson Center at 181 Mercer Street in Manhattan fully on line and operational. To that end, NYU has posted on their athletics website that their new basketball arena is scheduled to be completed by June, 2023, when the flooding damage caused by the pipe burst in the Paulson Center basement back in December, 2022 is fully fixed by complete replacement of the new courts. The new court will definitely be available for the start of the 2023-24 season barring any other catastrophic incidents.
It wasn't moot for the month before that when it was evident that NYU women would be worthy of hosting the 1st weekend at a minimum and knew that their own facility had become unavailable. I would think the school owes it to the team to accommodate any hosting advantage that they have earned by their play, especially in lieu of all that they have had to endure the past few years.
NYU hosted NCAA women's basketball tournament first weekend games at "the Pope" at St. Francis Brooklyn last year because they came to an agreement with St. Francis Brooklyn to use that facility to host UAA games for that season. "The Pope" was permanantly closed in November of 2022, as I previously posted. I can't spit on NYU for not finding out until early January that the flooding damage at the Paulson Center basement was too extensive to have a basketball floor ready for any play there this season. NYU was planning back last September to have the basketball court at the new Paulson Center athletic facilities ready for UAA play this season. I had planned to go to New York last Friday for NYU Senior Day at the new facility at 181 Mercer Street in Manhattan, and had purchased train tickets and booked a hotel room for Friday night, February 24. My plan was to return to Boston on Amtrak on Saturday, Feb. 25 after the Friday games. I had to cancel those plans in mid January when I found out that the new gym was not going to be ready for basketball season after all due to the pipe burst. I had only learned first of the pipe burst when NYU was playing at Brandeis back on January 7, and even then, I was not aware of the extent of the damage.

No anger at all, I merely wondered if NYU considered NCAA hosting at a nearby facility given that the team had earned that consideration and they had at least a month to investigate that possibility. For all we know, they might have done all that I suggest and decided it wasn't going to work out. Announcing that they wouldn't be hosting doesn't answer whether they gave it the "old college try" and found it unreasonable before that announcement. Just posing the question - no attribution either way.

I would have hoped that NYU gave it the "old college try." on this. After all, both NYU basketball programs had meetings with the Athletic Director and others about how to proceed with logistics once it was learned that UAA games would have to be played at the Brooklyn Athletic Facility this season. I would also have hoped that one of the topics at the meetings in December and January was potential postseason play and the logistics of hosting. I am inferring that renting a gym just for one or two weekends of NCAA postseason play was not going to work out this season for NYU-- I just do not have time to contact Jeff Bernstein of NYU Athletic Communications and ask him about that subject.
Once again, let's see at 2:30 PM Eastern today where NYU will be playing this weekend.

You also have to have your plan in place when you submit the bid, several weeks before it's potentially needed. The women could've been reasonably assured of hosting first weekend, but its never guaranteed. Not sure you can "reserve" a gym in NYC and then not use it without paying something. May not have been financially feasible to rent a gym you're not sure you'll need. Plus you have to rent one with the capacity to host fans from four schools, which means an even bigger, most costly facility. Headaches all around.

I remember back in the 2000-01 season, when Emmanuel College played at the old Marian Hall Gym. The court there was not regulation size, but the field for the tournament back then was only a field of 50. Emmanuel was ranked #1 in the Northeast, and that ranking back then assured the Saints a first round bye.
Emmanuel was able to use the Simmons College gym, a 500 seater just across the street from Emmanuel, to host their second round game against Springfield. That game easily sold out.
Emmanuel was also able to get an agreement to use Solomon Court at Northeastern University to host sectionals if Emmanuel was chosen to host them, but the Women's Basketball Committee back then awarded the sectional hosting duties to NYU and the Coles Sports Center for obvious reasons, chief among them was that NYU had one of the best 5 resumes in the country back then and earned the right to host the East/Northeast sectional. Emmanuel was able to defeat Cortland and NYU in the sectionals to advance to the "Final Four" in Danbury, CT.

Breaking news--
"Mr. UAA" Dick Rasmussen, the first and only Executive Secretary, Director, and Vice President of the UAA (in most leagues, the title would be that of Commissoner), announced today that after serving with the UAA since its founding back in 1987, he will retire effective at the conclusion of the 2023-2024 Academic Year on June 30, 2024.
The UAA has initiated plans to search for a new successor to try to fill some very big shoes that will be left behind.
I will not be the only one who will miss Mr. Rasmussen when he leaves.

Next games for NYU and UChicago on the road to Hartford, CT./Dallas, TX.
Friday, March 10, 2023-- Sweet 16 round
1.) NYU v Trine
2.) UChicago v Rhode Island College
Updates-- Sites announced (Pinch me, I must be dreaming-- but this is not a dream-- I can go to one of these 2 games in person next week if I wanted to do so!)
1.) NYU v Trine-- at the Transylvania sectional in Lexington, KY
2.) UChicago v Rhode Island College-- at Staake Gym at Babson College-- Babson Park, MA.
The other two sectional sites for March 10 and 11, 2023 are Tufts University and Smith College.
I honestly thought that Emmanuel College in Boston, MA, when they landed a sectional back in 2006-07 that had Southern Maine, eventual national champion DePauw, and Calvin (winner going to "Final Four" in Springfield, MA) was going to be my personal best dream sectional scenario that would never be topped, but this year tops it 3 times over.

My plans for the upcoming weekend (March 10 and 11, 2023)
I already have planned a trip to Trinity College in Hartford, CT for the DIII Women's Basketball national semifinals on March 18, 2023. I will be taking Amtrak to New Haven, CT from Route 128, MA on Saturday morning and connect there to the CT rail commuter rail system to get to Hartford. After the evening games in Hartford, I will be staying over at a nearby hotel, and return from Hartford on Sunday by train back to New Haven with a connection to Amtrak back to Boston. I already bought game tickets some weeks back for the March 18th semifinals. ($18 game ticket from the Trinity College athletics website for the national semifinal day.)
I have already asked my friend who usually drives me to/from Brandeis when I go to the UAA home games, but he and his wife are out of town this upcoming weekend, so I would have to take Lyft to return home from Babson on Friday. That would be in addition to the commuter rail fare to get to Babson, meals and snacks, and the $10 game ticket for each day of the sectionals.
Since NYU is tipping off an hour earlier on Friday (at 4:30 PM Eastern) from Transylvania in Kentucky, I will be watching the Women's Basketball Sectionals from home this weekend on livestream. 2 sectionals on the NEWMAC Sports Network, 1 sectional on Jumbocast, and 1 on T1Sports app. (Transylvania).
Good luck to both NYU and UChicago this weekend.

Kudos go out to the Messiah Falcons this weekend for two things over this past weekend:
(1) Allowing NYU to send out a separate NYU play by play and commentary feed for both of the 1st and 2nd round games from Messiah this weekend. For the first round game between NYU and Greensboro, NYU did the exclusive play by play and commentary feed (a Messiah cameraperson did the video that complemented the feed.) Messiah then took over with their play by play and commentary crew for their game vs Bridgewater State. For the second round game between NYU and Messiah, both teams sent out separate audio play by play and commentary feeds while sharing a pooled video feed.
NYU had Shaun Nakardni on play-by-play and the famous SID Jeff Bernstein on commentary on the NYU feed.
(2) Allowing NYU to cut down the nets after their victory over Messiah, as related by Gordon Mann in this article:
Where grace meets celebration (http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2023/03/05/where-grace-meets-celebration/)

5th year of eligibility + grad programs is just a force multiplier.
Look at these upperclassmen that NYU is adding* this year:
*Jordan Jankowski (I am assuming she's back from injury and still playing but have zero inside info)
Morgan Morrison
Megan Bauman
Laya Hartman
In addition to an assumedly strong FR recruiting class.

First of all, I am really glad that D3Boards is back.
Second, I just watched Hoopsville this afternoon where Scott Peterson was on the show talking with Dave McHugh about Pool C "play-in" games where the winner most likely gets a Pool C and the loser could be out of the NCAAs.
First on that list was Chicago at Wash U on Sat. Feb. 24, 2024-- (Sorry, Dave-- Wash U already played at UChicago on January 6. Scott--please check the schedules before you come on air again as to the game site-- but at least you admitted beforehand that you did not check where the game was to be played.)
Second-- I look at my alma mater, the Brandeis women-- if they are a better team than last year, the results do not indicate it. I personally saw my alma mater got drubbed by 51 points at NYU in the Paulson Center, and when I saw the score at the end of the first quarter when the game was practically over 10 minutes in-- I said to myself that this current year's NYU team reminded me a lot of the Wash U women's teams from 1998 to 2001 that put together an 81 game winning streak. The 2000-01 Wash U team in their prime (Tasha Rodgers in senior year) could defeat this year's Brandeis team by 45 to 50 points in both games in league play, too-- I strongly believe it. The old 2000-01 Janice Quinn coached NYU team in their prime could beat this year's Brandeis team by 25 to 30 points on a regular basis, too.
On the results, I saw a Brandeis team that could not stand up to Babson, Tufts, and Roger Williams-- and these teams are not as strong as they were last year, either. I saw a Brandeis team that lost to Eastern Nazarene, and should have lost to Bridgewater State were it not for the Bears losing focus late in the game and getting overconfident. With the exception of the Brandeis UAA win at home over Carnegie Mellon, the Brandeis women haven't broken the 60 point barrier in scoring in UAA play all season.
Okay, maybe if Brandeis was a Heartland Conf.team playing Franklin, Defiance, et al, the Judges could get some league wins, but Brandeis would not come close to beating Transylvania this season either.
Current Brandeis acting head coach Jill Latanovich has a future in putting together and coaching a successful DIII women's basketball team-- I am just not sure that it is in this league given her previous playing and coaching experience so far.
I am sick and tired of seeing my alma mater only having the talent, depth, and athleticism to win no more than 1 or 2 games in the UAA in women's hoop and only winning 5 to 6 games overall-- especially after seeing the hey-days of 2006 to 2010 when the Brandeis women made NCAA tournament appearances.
(This is on top of a fall where the Brandeis women's soccer team was only able to score 1 goal in UAA play after going 6-1-3 in non-conference play under coach Mary Shimko-- fortunately, all 7 of Brandeis's UAA Women's soccer opponents made the NCAAs and I still have confidence in the management of the Brandeis women's soccer team.)
(Also, the Brandeis women's volleyball team only regularly wins just 1 or 2 UAA matches a year, too-- but I don't focus on volleyball.)
Obviously, I do not want Carol Simon back coaching this team either, especially after seeing that investigation into her conduct being revealed by Deadspin first hand last summer and not getting any public comment from Brandeis itself. The lack of commentary from the Brandeis adminstration on this issue is speaking volumes.
I am sorry-- but this year, I have been more focused on watching the NYU women dominate this tough UAA on live-stream during the times when women's play has been going on, and on Saturday, the NYU women will most likely become the first UAA basketball team from the Eastern Time Zone-- men or women--to go a perfect undefeated 14-0 in UAA play. The accomplishment will be the 8th time in UAA women's basketball history since the founding of the UAA back in 1986-87, and the start of UAA play in 1987-88.
The previous 7 perfect UAA women's basketball seasons in league play--
1.) 1989-1990: Wash U Bears-- 14-0 (Double round-robin wins over UChicago, NYU, Brandeis, Carnegie Mellon, Rochester, and Emory-- single round-robin wins over CWRU and Johns Hopkins.) Head coach: Nancy Fahey.
2.) 1998-1999: Wash U Bears-- 14-0 (Same schedule as the 1989-1990 season) Head coach: Nancy Fahey.
3.) 1999-2000: Wash U Bears-- 15-0 (Double round-robin wins over UChicago, NYU, Brandeis, Carnegie Mellon, Rochester, Emory, and CWRU-- single round-robin win over Johns Hopkins.) Head coach: Nancy Fahey.
(UAA charter member Johns Hopkins leaves the UAA after the 2000-01 season to stay in the Centennial Conference.)
4.) 2001-02: Wash U Bears-- 14-0 (First season under the current double-round robin format)--
Head coach: Nancy Fahey
5.) 2010-11: U. Chicago Maroons-- 14-0 in UAA play. Head coach: Aaron Roussell
5.) 2011-12: U. Chicago Maroons-- 14-0 in UAA play. Head coach: Aaron Roussell
7.) 2017-18: U. Chicago Maroons-- 14-0 in UAA play. Head coach: Carissa Sain (then married as known as Carissa Sain-Knoche.)
Whereabouts of these coaches who accomplished the feat as of present:
1.) Nancy Fahey-- member of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame-- retired from coaching at the end of the 2021-22 season after 5 years coaching in the D-I Big Ten at Illinois.)
2.) Aaron Roussell-- current coach of the Richmond Spiders in the D-I Atlantic 10.
3.) Carissa Sain-- current coach of DIII Illinois Tech in the NACC.

I had some trouble watching the video of the NCAA DIII Women's Basketball Selection Show on ncaa.com this afternoon. The show was loaded onto the website on time, but the recorded feed seemed to stop about 5 announced pods in, and I had to reload and start all over again. I finally finished completing my viewing of the show around 3:30 PM Eastern. Fortunately, Youtube's NCAA Championships channel now has this selection show up as of 3:20 PM Eastern. (The men's DIII Selection show got dropped onto Youtube as of 1:30 PM Eastern.)
Well, FYI--
The UAA got 3 teams into the women's field this year-- NYU as the AQ, with Wash U and Emory getting Pool C bids.
Due to the men's teams getting priority this year and the seeding of the resumes of the UAA teams that got Pool C bids, no UAA women's basketball teams are hosting pods this weekend.
The first pod announced on the show had NYU going to DeSales's pod in Allentown, PA.
Here is the field for the DeSales pod in Allentown, PA--
1.) NYU Violets vs Millsaps Majors (NCAA is flying Millsaps, the SAA AQ, to Allentown, PA to play NYU in the first round.)
2.) Southern Virginia Knights at DeSales Bulldogs.
The seventh pod announced on the show had Wash U travelling to Carroll's pod in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Here is the field for the pod in Waukesha, Wisconsin--
1.) Puget Sound Loggers at Carroll Pioneers
2.) Wash U Bears vs UW-Stout Blue Devils.
The eighth pod announced on the show had Emory travelling to Transylvania's pod in Lexington, Kentucky, where Emory could potentially be the second round opponent for Transylvania's attempt to get their 62nd straight win and take sole possession of third place for all-time consecutive game winning streaks in DIII Women's hoop.
Here is the field for the pod in Lexington, Kentucky--
1.) Emory Eagles vs Ohio Wesleyan Battlin' Bishops.
2.) Chatham Cougars at Transylvania Pioneers.
I watched a game or two on recorded stream of UW-Stout a few days ago. I now need to get some info of Ohio Wesleyan and Millsaps.

I am so relieved that Carol Simon has finally decided to retire from Brandeis. She should have done this act months ago while she was still on paid administrative leave-- it would have saved all of the Brandeis women's basketball players at least one month of grief. I will not have much patience with the next hire-- I will give the new coach 5 years to get Brandeis to at least near the top half of the UAA, and definitely to qualify for the NCAA DIII tournament. The days where a coach should be guaranteed lifetime tenure on a DIII program at any level should be long gone. Hopefully we now can invest in our athletics and get our teams the ability to keep up with our UAA rivals in more sports. Brandeis cannot rest on concentrating on just one sport to the detriment of all the other sports. Yes, Brandeis had success on the soccer pitch recently, and yes, Brandeis got itself a national women's sabre fencing champion this year. Can't rest on our laurels on those accomplishments. In June, Jessica Chapin will be returning to Brandeis as the new athletic director-- I hope that she can be as successful in her new job as she was at DII AIC.

Just to pass along some information about watching video streams of games from Puerto Rico College Sports Tours, which is sponsoring the D3 Women's Basketball Clasico, of which games are starting today, and is also sponsoring the D3 Women's Basketball After Christmas Clasico, of which Wash U is taking part in from December 28 to 30, 2024, when they play 2 games vs Dickinson and Bridgewater State from the 3,000 seat Coliseo Roger Mendoza in Caguas, PR, on Sunday, December 29 and Monday, December 30, respectively.
If you want to watch the live stream and on demand of the Wash U vs Dickinson game on Sunday, December 29, and the Wash U vs Bridgewater State game on Monday, December 30, respectively, from the Coliseo Roger Mendoza (a professional basketball arena in Puerto Rico's BNBL League, BTW), here are the details.
1.) To my knowledge, Puerto Rico College Sports Tours does not provide free live stats of the games for those who cannot afford to pay for the video stream.
2.) The tip times for the Wash U games on Dec. 29 and Dec. 30 are at 10:30 AM Atlantic Standard time. That is 8:30 AM Central for those of you watching from Chicago or St. Louis, and 9:30 AM Eastern for people watching from the rest of the UAA cities.
3.) Both games are pay per view streams, (along with Saturday December 28's game between Bridgewater State and Dickinson which is also being played at Coliseo Roger Mendoza at 10:30 AM Atlantic time/9:30 AM Eastern.).
4.) Puerto Rico College Sports Tours is charging $14.99 for each game's video stream. To repeat, it is $14.99 for each game's video stream, not $14.99 for the entire package of games. To confirm that is true, I just tested it with a purchase of today's game of CalTech vs College of St. Benedict, which is tipping off in Bayamon, PR at 9 AM Eastern today as the first game of the D3 Women's Basketball Clasico, and the $14.99 that I paid for it will only allow me to watch that particular game.
Why is FloSports not doing these games on their college package? Sure, FloSports charges $19.99/month, but you get a lot more value for that deal. Similarly, Rochester charges $10.95 a month, but you get live and on-demand access for all of Rochester's home games in the deal for that month as well. Now, I am stuck with watching Cal Tech vs Saint Benedict this morning. I hope the presentation is worth it.

The streaming offering price is very bad. I think I ended up watching a single game last year. I seem to recall the actual video was okay, but no frills?
The officiating in PR is atrocious.
Pretty rough product all the way around. I wonder if schools/teams/players look back fondly on the trip? Did any schools who went in past years go again?

Hi, Scottiedawg.
I do not know if any UAA women's basketball teams have made multiple trips to Puerto Rico, but I know that Coach Andy Yosinoff and the Emmanuel College Saints out of the GNAC have made at least 2 trips to Puerto Rico. One trip came in 2014, and the most recent trip was last year. It seems that the sights and sounds outside of the game atmosphere-- with plenty of opportunities to tour and explore the island, make the trip seem worth it for the players, coaches, and immediate family members who choose to fly to Puerto Rico for their vacation.
Last year, Case Western Reserve and Rochester made the trip to Puerto Rico on the women's side. As a matter of fact, today is the one year anniversary of the game between Case Western Reserve and Emmanuel that was played at Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, PR. CWRU won by 1 point over Emmanuel in overtime last year. Final score was 74-73, and the game was tied at 64 a piece at the end of regulation. That was the first meeting (and for now, the only scheduled regular season contest) between the Case Western Reserve Spartans and the Emmanuel Saints. CWRU also won over Norwich last year on the Puerto Rico trip. That game was played at Coliseo Mario Morales in Guaynabo, PR. Coliseo Mario Morales is not being used this year for the D3 women's basketball Puerto Rico games.-- The D3 Puerto Rico games this year are being played in Bayamon at Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, and in Caguas, PR at Coliseo Roger Mendoza.
(Correction-- Just about 24 hours after I originally posted this, Puerto Rico College Sports Tours announced on their website that the December 28-30, 2024 games that were originally scheduled to be played at Coliseo Roger Mendoza (home of the Puerto Rico BSN team Criollos de Caguas (Caguas Creoles)) would instead be played at the bigger 8,000 seat professional basketball arena Coliseo Juan Aubin Cruz Abreu in Manait, PR-- the home of the pro basketball team Los Osos de Manati (Manati Bears). (Seemed fitting that a field with 2 DiII women's basketball teams nicknamed the Bears would be played in Puerto Rico at the home court of the Manati Bears.)
Last year, Rochester defeated Mary Washington and lost to Westfield State at Coliseo Mario Morales in Guaynabo, PR. Rochester made their Puerto Rico trip on the weekend after Christmas, while CWRU played their Puerto Rico games before Christmas. This year, Wash U will play their 2 Puerto Rico games after Christmas vs Dickinson and Bridgewater State.
Coliseo Mario Morales is also a Puerto Rico professional basketball arena for the Guaynabo pro team, along with the pro basketball arenas in Bayamon and Caguas for those respective pro teams.
In case you are wondering, I did not watch the live video stream of CWRU v Emmanuel last year, nor did I watch any other live Puerto Rico games on video last year either. Monday was my first experience watching a video stream of a D3 game from Puerto Rico, and the $14.99 fee was just for the live stream only with no ability to replay the game on demand.
BTW, it seems that Wash U has set up Sidearm live stat links on their women's basketball page for their Puerto Rico games vs Dickinson and Bridgewater State. I hope this means that they have talked to Rochester and CWRU about their experiences last year and decided to send their own live stats feed and send a live stats operator to fly with the women's basketball team in their travel party to cover the 2 games. I am not holding my breath until I actually see the live stats feed working during those games.
Just in case, maybe Jay Murry can spend $30 to Puerto Rico College Sports Tours ($14.99 for each game) to watch both live video feeds and live tweet on his experience watching those streams-- unless of course, Jay Murry is going to be in the travel party with the Wash U women's basketball team for that trip. I want a lot of Wash U social media outside of the games about the women's basketball team experience. A player blog will work, too.

Coliseo Mario Morales is not being used this year for the D3 women's basketball Puerto Rico games.-- The D3 Puerto Rico games this year are being played in Bayamon at Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, and in Caguas, PR at Coliseo Roger Mendoza.
(Correction-- Just about 24 hours after I originally posted this, Puerto Rico College Sports Tours announced on their website that the December 28-30, 2024 games that were originally scheduled to be played at Coliseo Roger Mendoza (home of the Puerto Rico BSN team Criollos de Caguas (Caguas Creoles)) would instead be played at the bigger 8,000 seat professional basketball arena Coliseo Juan Aubin Cruz Abreu in Manait, PR-- the home of the pro basketball team Los Osos de Manati (Manati Bears). (Seemed fitting that a field with 2 DiII women's basketball teams nicknamed the Bears would be played in Puerto Rico at the home court of the Manati Bears.)
Last year, Rochester defeated Mary Washington and lost to Westfield State at Coliseo Mario Morales in Guaynabo, PR. Rochester made their Puerto Rico trip on the weekend after Christmas, while CWRU played their Puerto Rico games before Christmas. This year, Wash U will play their 2 Puerto Rico games after Christmas vs Dickinson and Bridgewater State.
Coliseo Mario Morales is also a Puerto Rico professional basketball arena for the Guaynabo pro team, along with the pro basketball arenas in Bayamon and Caguas for those respective pro teams.
In case you are wondering, I did not watch the live video stream of CWRU v Emmanuel last year, nor did I watch any other live Puerto Rico games on video last year either. Monday was my first experience watching a video stream of a D3 game from Puerto Rico, and the $14.99 fee was just for the live stream only with no ability to replay the game on demand.
BTW, it seems that Wash U has set up Sidearm live stat links on their women's basketball page for their Puerto Rico games vs Dickinson and Bridgewater State. I hope this means that they have talked to Rochester and CWRU about their experiences last year and decided to send their own live stats feed and send a live stats operator to fly with the women's basketball team in their travel party to cover the 2 games. I am not holding my breath until I actually see the live stats feed working during those games.
Just in case, maybe Jay Murry can spend $30 to Puerto Rico College Sports Tours ($14.99 for each game) to watch both live video feeds and live tweet on his experience watching those streams-- unless of course, Jay Murry is going to be in the travel party with the Wash U women's basketball team for that trip. I want a lot of Wash U social media outside of the games about the women's basketball team experience. A player blog will work, too.

For our final UAA non-conference women's game before Christmas, we have our first ever Rashidcast! (Umar Rashid, that is, of the CWRU MBB team joining Play by play announcer Ron Jantz in the booth at Horsburgh Gym on this one, but we know that Umar Rashid is running the broadcast today!)
Why, you ask? Well, CWRU decided to have their anticipated first home win of the season come in a rematch against Pitt-Greensburg, who the Spartans already defeated 90-46 earlier this season at Pitt-Greensburg.
CWRU came into the game ranked #222 in the NCAA Power Index ratings at 47.65 according to D3Datacast. Meanwhile, Pitt-Greensburg comes into today's matchup ranked near the bottom of DIII at 29.73 (ranked #413 of 417 D3 teams). Pitt-Greensburg is currently winless vs D3 teams, and that streak is going to continue today.
CWRU leading 66-28 with 6:55 left in the 3rd quarter.
Update-- 7:20 PM ET,-- CWRU set a lot of single game individual and team program records today in their 108-52 win and congrats on setting those records, but I am not impressed that it had to come against what is practically the worst team in DIII women's basketball at this moment. Brandeis could have played winless Regis (MA) this season if the goal was for Lulu Ohm to try to score 40 points in a game this season, for example. Lulu Ohm has already scored a Brandeis WBB individual single game record 37 points vs Framingham State this season, and Framingham State is a much better team than Pitt-Greensburg.
Update #2-- 7:46 PM ET-- I could also have Brandeis play against Mt. Holyoke in a rematch of old charter NEW8 (now currently known as NEWMAC) opponents if my goal was to have Brandeis try to set the most individual and team single game program records right now, too. However, Mt. Holyoke does have 1 D3 win right now.

Before I write about my viewing plans for UAA Women's Basketball non-conference games this weekend, I am going to write about some other D3 games that I am planning to watch on live stream today and tomorrow.
UAA teams resume play on Sunday. I am also not forgetting about the D3Hoops.com Classic from Las Vegas, NV-- I will checking in and watching live and on-demand streams from this weekend's Las Vegas games this weekend as well.
D3 Women's Basketball resumes play at noon ET today with a slate of 3 games scheduled for today-- 2 this afternoon from Lehman College in New York this afternoon with the co-main event of the day starting at Noon ET at the Apex Gym in the Bronx. That game will be a "Hartford Clasico" where former UChicago head coach Maria Williamson will lead NESCAC's Trinity Bantams against the GNAC conference leading (by 1/2 game) Univ.of St. Joseph Bluejays, coached by UConn WBB pioneer Wendy Davis. Univ. of St. Joseph has already defeated the Monks from St. Joe's Maine in the only GNAC conference game of the season so far.
I am definitely planning to watch the stream of that game at noon. The second game from New York has Neumann playing the host school, Lehman, at approx 2 PM.
The main event tonight is Illinois Wesleyan (#1 in the current NCAA Power Index ratings, according to D3DataCast, and #3 in the D3hoops.com Top 25 poll) playing at Trinity (TX). Game tips at 6 PM Central/7 PM Eastern, and is planning to be streamed on Trinity U's Youtube channel.
I am still waiting for the links to the live streams of the D3 Women's Basketball After Christmas Clasico games from Coliseo Juan Aubin Cruz Abreu in Manati, PR to be posted, but I will purchase Saturday's game stream between Bridgewater State and Dickinson as soon as it goes on sale. All 3 games of the Puerto Rico After Christmas Clasico will tip at 8:30 AM Central/9:30 AM Eastern/10:30 AM Atlantic with 1 game played each day from Saturday to Monday. Wash U gets to play Sunday vs Dickinson and Monday vs Bridgewater State-- free live stats will be on Wash U's site for those who cannot afford to pay the $14.99 live streaming fee per game.
Coach Bridgett Casey of Bridgewater State will try for the second time to go for career win #400 tomorrow against Dickinson after seeing her first attempt come up short against Brandeis earlier this month. Bridgewater State comes in to Puerto Rico ranked #9 in the NCAA Power Index according to D3DataCast.
Now-- here are my viewing plans for streams on Sunday and Monday---
1.) I am planning to follow live stats on Sunday for Wash U vs Dickinson to save some money.
2.) Here are the remaining games for Sunday--

Here is an update for my Sunday watching plans on Wash U vs Dickinson.
After watching Dickinson handle Bridgewater State pretty handily in the second half of their victory today, I have purchased a $14.99 virtual ticket from Puerto Rico College Sports Tours for tomorrow morning's live stream from Coliseo Juan Aubin Cruz Abreu in Manati, PR.
I am going to consider my purchases of these virtual streaming tickets the substitute this year for a trip to NYU. Last year, I made the trip to NYU to watch the Paulson Center's first UAA games vs Brandeis. The cost this year to make that same trip and spend a night in Stamford CT is too expensive for me this time around. Even the cheapest alternate, a round trip same day ticket on Amtrak would mean that I would have to leave Boston at 6:30 AM on the Amtrak and not return home until just before midnight. If I were 30 years younger, I would be doing just that-- taking the round trip from the Boston area to New York and back on the same day for the UAA doubleheader.
I will make my final decision on a virtual ticket for Wash U vs Bridgewater State tomorrow after I see the Wash U vs Dickinson match on live stream.

My thoughts going into today--
1.) I bit the bullet again. At noon ET yesterday, I paid another $14.99 to Puerto Rico College Sports Tours to watch today's live stream of Wash U vs Bridgewater State.
I remember that FloSports had the live streaming and on demand rights for all of the Puerto Rico action in 2022. I am wondering what happened with FloSports and Puerto Rico College Sports Tours for FloSports to lose those rights after 2022.
With FloCollege now available at $19.99/month and that package having a lot more value than the content that you would get in 2022 if you paid FloSports, I would have been able to watch a lot more DIII Puerto Rico Clasico games if they were available this year on the FloCollege package. The on-demand rights would have been a selling point for me.
Based on the virtual attendance rate of only 32 who watched the live stream of yesterday's Wash U vs Dickinson game, it may have been better for the fans if that game were available live and on demand on the FloCollege package instead. Free is always best, but FloCollege would have better for my finances on the PR Clasico slate of games than the $15 virtual live streaming ticket per individual game. I would have been able to watch Univ of St. Joseph, Rhode Island College,and UMass-Dartmouth play in Puerto Rico (via video stream) if these games were available on FloCollege this year. Just my two cents on this.
2.) NYU vs Middlebury-- As Scottiedawg says, "there are no pictures on the golf scorecard", and "that goes the same for NPI." It is still a win for NYU. That is good enough in my book.
3.) CWRU at Transy in Gratz Park Wealth Holiday Classic.-- CWRU's 3 point barrage (7 of 11 from 3 pt land in the first 10 minutes of the game) sends Transy to their first home loss in an non-NCAA tournament game since November of 2019.
The CWRU win yesterday is the highlight of the season so far for the Spartans, even though no quality win bonus points came with the win as of right now.
As a reward, I would have liked to see CWRU play Wash and Lee today and have to deal with Mary Schleusner, but Concordia-Moorhead had other ideas. So, the consolation game today between Transy and Wash and Lee will just be as interesting to watch as the championship game that follows.
Brandeis will have to take note of CWRU's streaky 3 point shooting, as the Judges will have to beat CWRU at least once this season to make their goal of 4 to 5 UAA wins this season achievable. Preferable to sweep CWRU and Rochester this season if possible, but no game in the UAA is easy to win. Coach Prichett has Brandeis on the right track, though, and I trust her to make the right decisions for the rest of the season.
4.) Carnegie Mellon held form yesterday and will play in the title game of the BW Holiday Tournament. Emory plays Bowdoin-- I will have to follow live stats on the game from St. Petersburg, FL.
5.) Lexy Harris of Wash U dropped 24 on Dickinson yesterday. She will be tough to handle in UAA play.

Since my previous post, I found something that may answer my previous question about why FloCollege does not have the streaming rights to Puerto Rico College Sports Tours Events.
It is because FloSports made a deal with Sport Tours International (the same company who sponsors the D3Hoops.com Classic) to do the streaming and on-demand rights for Sport Tours International's Discover Puerto Rico Shootout that annually takes place on Thanksgiving Weekend.
The Sport Tours Puerto Rico event invites mid and high major DI women's basketball teams to compete in Puerto Rico, and FloCollege has been streaming this event since 2023 and has the Discover Puerto Rico Shootout games from 2023 and 2024 in their FloCollege on-demand library.

Scheduling guide for watching NYU women and other UAA women's basketball teams in conference play this season
Per the UAA Code of Conduct, traditionally the women have played first in Saturday UAA games, first on Friday nights, and second on Sunday afternoons. This has been the tradition from the beginning of that particular format in UAA play.
However, for this season and next, the scheduling has been reversed. Starting this season, the women will go second in Saturday games, and second in Friday night games. The women will play first on Sundays.
This will be the schedule for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons. Following those years, we will go back to the traditional schedule for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons, and every 2 years from this time forward, that will be the plan.
There has also been a change in game jersey policy. The white uniforms will be the home uniforms for Friday night and Saturday games and the road uniforms for Sunday games. The dark uniforms will be the road uniforms for Friday night and Saturday conference games and the home uniforms for Sunday conference games.

On Sunday, January 26, 2025, the NYU women won a UAA conference game by 76 points when the Violets won at CWRU by a score of 107-31.
While the UAA record book does not keep track of largest margins of victory/defeat in a UAA conference basketball game, upon reviewing the records of the WashU Alia Fischer/Tasha Rodgers dynasty years of 1997-2001, I have concluded that Sunday's margin of 76 points is a new UAA conference record for single game margin of victory/defeat in UAA women's hoop.
The previous record that I could find courtesy of the WashU record book for UAA conference games was a WashU 97-33 victory over Brandeis (64 points) set in the 1997-98 season when Alia Fischer was a sophomore at WashU and Tasha Rodgers was a freshman. Pat Coleman once described Fischer and Rodgers as the Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen of D3 women's hoop when describing their play back in the day.
The 64 point margin of victory in the 1997-98 season broke an older record of a 60 point margin of victory in a UAA game set earlier that season when WashU defeated CWRU by a score of 104-44.
For D3 women's conferences overall, the most recent standards of dominance in conference play were set by former D3 institution Thomas More Saints of Kentucky when the GOAT of DIII women's hoop Sydney Moss transferred in from the Florida Gators to be with her family in Kentucky. Sydney Moss was the SEC rookie of the year as a freshman, but the then Florida women's basketball coach did not handle Moss's transfer request very well when Sydney Moss requested a transfer out of Florida. The mishandling of the request made national news. Eventually, Moss was allowed to transfer out of Florida and she decided to go to Thomas More.
In Sydney Moss's sophomore year, in PAC conference play, Thomas More defeated Thiel in the regular season by 84 points (113-29) on January 11, 2014, and also defeated Thiel by a score of 127-34 (93 points) in the PAC quarterfinals on February 25, 2014. The Thomas More Saints also defeated Bethany in PAC conference play by a score of 112-34 (78 points) on January 23, 2014.
In Sydney Moss's senior year, in PAC conference play, Thomas More defeated Westminster (PA) by a score of 105-31, on January 30, 2016. (74 points.)
That is all that I am going to say on this matter.

UAA WBB Bubble Watch
Based on Scott Peterson's 1,000 computer-run season simulations of the remainder of UAA women's race as of Feb. 5, 2025 at 9:45 AM ET.
Lock for AQ-- NYU (3 game lead on rest of field with 7 games left to play-- NYU dominating UAA by average of 40 ppg).
Solid for at-large bid: Carnegie Mellon-- got an at-large bid in 954 out of the 1,000 simulations.
Bubble-in: WashU-- got an at-large bid in 740 out of the 1,000 simulations.
The rest of the UAA will probably not get an at-large bid this season-- all remaining teams are probably out (an at-large bid less than 250 times out of the 1,000 simulations.)
Emory got an at-large 116 times out of 1,000.
Chicago got an at-large bid 40 times out of 1,000.
Rochester got an at-large bid 5 times out of 1,000.
Brandeis got an at-large bid 4 times out of 1,000.
CWRU did not get an at-large bid in any of the 1,000 computer season simulations of the UAA women's race run this morning.

Should Wash U. lose again this weekend to NYU, then the following weekend at CMU...they will then have at least 7 losses.
I can't see how they can make it over some mid conference 3 or 4 loss team.

I think they still have a good shot at 18-7, 17-8 is almost certainly out.

At the moment, 7 out of the 8 UAA women's basketball teams have an NPI rating greater than 54, so assuming that remains the case at the end of the season, WashU would get additional QWB points by wins over Emory, Brandeis, Chicago, and Rochester. Losing again at CWRU would really hurt the Bears, as CWRU won at WashU earlier this season as well, and CWRU is the only UAA women's basketball team with an NPI rating less than 50 right now (49.08 according to the most recent unofficial D3Datacast run done on Wed. Feb. 5, 2025 at 7:19 AM ET-- #214 in Division III).
Of course, my Brandeis Judges may still have a say in this regard tomorrow night, as they play WashU at the Auerbach Arena in Waltham, MA to start WashU's 4 game UAA road trip-- WashU has to win this one to stay on track for an at-large bid along with a win at CWRU the following Friday.
The season simulations assume that WashU will lose at NYU and Carnegie Mellon and still have the Bears at bubble-in with a final NPI of approx. 59.30. Had we used the NPI to select at-large teams last year, the cut line would have been approx. 58.31 with Arcadia the last team in at 58.31 (#45 in mock DIII NPI) and UChicago the first team out at 58.30. (#46 in mock DIII NPI).

UAA WBB Bubble Watch update as of Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025 at 9:45 AM ET.
Move WashU from Bubble-in to Solid-- Today's 1,000 season simulations run has WashU getting an at-large bid in 781 of the 1,000 simulations. In order to be in the solid category, a team must be projected to get an at-large bid in at least 751 of the 1,000 simulations in the run. This, of course, assumes that WashU goes 5-2 the rest of the season with the only losses being at NYU and at Carnegie Mellon.
Also in the Solid category-- Carnegie Mellon got an at-large bid in 956 of the 1,000 season simulations (up 2 from yesterday).
In the probably out category:
Emory got an at-large bid in 118 of the 1,000 simulations run today (up 2 from yesterday).
Chicago got an at-large bid in 38 of the 1,000 season simulations run today (down 2 from yesterday).
Brandeis, Rochester, and CWRU results remained the same.
Simulations assume that Brandeis will meet its season stated goal of winning at least 1/3 of their UAA games, as mentioned in the Brandeis student newspaper the Justice at the beginning of the season.

On the Hoopsville show last night, the chair of the D3 Women's Basketball Committee, explained the concept of dropping a loss that would actually benefit your NPI rating if you included the loss in your NPI calculation.
The general principle of this situation is that a team cannot improve its NPI score simply by losing to a strong opponent. The team actually has to win the game to improve its NPI rating. If a game NPI score that is produced by losing to a strong opponent is actually higher than the team's current NPI rating, then the team must not count that loss in their NPI calculation, and their NPI rating would remain the same.
As this applies to league play in the UAA right now, currently 7 of the 8 UAA women's basketball teams have an NPI rating above 54. The exception is CWRU, which has an unofficial D3Datacast NPI rating of 49.24 as of Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025 at 6:24 AM ET, the most recent time that the D3Datacast computer made a run of the NPI ratings using results entered in the Massey system through games of Wednesday, Feb. 5. Officially, the first NCAA DIII women's basketball NPI summary report through games of Sunday, Feb. 2 had CWRU at 49.073 NPI rating.
NYU unofficially has an NPI rating of 65.74 according to D3Datacast as of this most recent run, and an official rating through games of Sunday, Feb. 2, of 65.637 according to the first NCAA DIII official NPI women's basketball summary report.
Using the unofficial up to date number from D3Datacast, losing to NYU by itself with no other DIII games played would produce a game NPI score right now of 52.592. If the CWRU women counted the loss to NYU in their NPI calculation, CWRU's NPI rating would actually increase from their current 49.24 rating.
As a result, CWRU must drop the loss to NYU from their NPI calculation, and CWRU's NPI rating would remain frozen at 49.24 as a result.
This is most common with the D3 women's basketball teams who are winless on their season. In that case, the winless team's NPI rating would be the loss or losses to the team that would produce the worst (or lowest) NPI game score.

Really good explanation!
And to help people visualize it, here are the highest ranked NPI teams with at least 1 loss dropped. You can see that any team with an NPI low enough where dropping a loss (because the loss's Game NPI is high enough to help that team's overall NPI) happens are for teams far outside the NCAA Tournament At-Large picture.
And here are the teams with the most losses dropped:

A "Qualifying Loss" (not sure if that's an official term or not) is a loss that is counted in a team's NPI. For any team in the running for a Pool C, every loss will be counted for their NPI, thus is a Qualifying Loss.
Losses that help a team's NPI are not included in a team's NPI calculation, thus are not "Qualifying Losses"
The bonuses are the Quality Win Bonus. If you beat a team whose NPI is above the Quality Win Bonus Threshold, you get some bonus points.

Seems like they still have a 50/50 shot with 8 losses, but after losing tonight to Brandeis, if they lose to NYU next, it would likely take a 5-0 finish to get them into the dance.

According to Scottiedawg's 1,000 season simulations computer run conducted Saturday, Feb. 8, 2025 at 10:29 AM ET.
This includes WashU's loss to Brandeis last night.
NYU is the presumptive AQ from the UAA.
Update--
WashU women moved from "Solid" to "Bubble-out"
WashU got an at-large bid 415 times out of the 1,000 season simulations run this morning. WashU now projected to finish with a record of 17-8.
Carnegie Mellon remains at Solid-- the Tartans got an at-large bid in 966 out of the 1,000 season simulations run this morning.
All other UAA teams remain at "Probably out".-- Those teams got an at-large bid in fewer than 250 out of the 1,000 season simulations.
According to Scottiedawg's 1,000 season simulations computer run conducted Saturday, Feb. 8, 2025 at 10:29 AM ET.

In the official NPI summary report released yesterday, that includes games through Monday, Feb. 17, the UAA has already officially declared the NYU women as the AQ out of the conference and by virtue of that placement of the letters "AQ" beside NYU, as the 2024-25 UAA Women's Basketball Champion.
This summary report can be found at http://stats.ncaa.org/selection_rankings/nitty_gritties/42974 (http://stats.ncaa.org/selection_rankings/nitty_gritties/42974)
Brandeis cannot finish ahead of Emory, Wash U, and Chicago in the UAA standings without defeating Carnegie Mellon, as the Judges would have to go 3-0 the rest of the way for a top 4 UAA finish, and any Carnegie Mellon loss down the stretch automatically gives NYU the outright UAA Women's Basketball Championship.
NYU has not swept Carnegie Mellon yet, but clinches the AQ on the second tiebreaker due to better head to head results vs Emory (NYU is 2-0 vs Emory while Carnegie Mellon went 1-1 vs the Eagles), and Chicago (NYU went 2-0 vs Chicago while Carnegie Mellon went 1-1 vs the Maroons.) Once again, Brandeis cannot finish ahead of both Emory and Chicago in the UAA standings without defeating Carnegie Mellon, and even if Carnegie Mellon beats NYU on Friday, a Carnegie Mellon loss at Brandeis or in Pittsburgh vs CWRU would give NYU the outright UAA championship.
Long story short, there are officially no paths left for the Tartans to get the AQ even if they ended up UAA co-champions. Therefore, NYU has officially clinched the AQ out of the UAA-- congratulations to the Violets on this accomplishment. I wanted to wait until after NYU got the next win to clinch the UAA title outright, preferably by the head to head sweep over Carnegie Mellon.
The NYU women did not take the team picture while unveiling the 2024-25 UAA Women's Basketball Champions banner on the court at the Louis Alexander Palestra at Rochester on Sunday, but that ceremony will most likely happen Friday night at the Paulson Center after the Carnegie Mellon doubleheader, win or lose.

I was watching the replay of the NYU women at Rochester game this morning, and I heard JC DeLass on the PBP mention the UAA game winning streak of the Alia Fischer/Tasha Rodgers WashU dynasty that won 4 national championships in a row from 1998-2001. Fischer played in 3 of those 4 seasons-- she graduated in 2000, and the streak started in Alia Fischer's sophomore season with the Bears. Tasha Rodgers was a freshman when the winning streak started, and it ended in her senior year with the Bears.
However, upon looking at the WashU women's basketball record book, I can understand why JC DeLass miscounted the number of wins in the UAA streak that WashU accomplished. He announced that the WashU win streak was 39 games-- the Bears actually won 40 UAA games in a row before Dari Magyar's famous "Miracle in Manhattan" 3 pointer at the buzzer shot gave NYU the 65-64 win over WashU in the rematch at Coles Center in 2001.
The reason why the miscount happened was that the WashU women's basketball record book for the 2000-2001 season did not star WashU's win over Johns Hopkins as a UAA contest that season when it actually was a UAA game. WashU's 70-57 win over Johns Hopkins that year was UAA win 33, and both NYU and WashU went 14-1 in UAA play that season. Had JHU not been a UAA game, the UAA records of both NYU and WashU would have been listed at 13-1, not 14-1. The 2000-2001 season was the last year for Johns Hopkins as a UAA charter member before the Bluejays left the UAA to become an exclusive Centennial Conference member for D3Hoops.
So NYU will not be able to tie WashU's 40 game UAA winning streak this season-- the chance, should it happen, will be in the first UAA contest of the season vs Brandeis next season.
Coincidentally, after that NYU v WashU game back in 2001 in the Coles Center, WashU then started a separate 32 UAA game winning streak that ended in 2003 in the next to last game of the UAA conference season when Rochester beat WashU 82-73. I would not be surprised if that Rochester win happened at the Louis Alexander Palestra-- it was very difficult to defeat a Nancy Fahey coached team at the WashU Field House.
