Dayton got pushed by Bona and Fordham wouldn't let VCU break away, but the favorites ultimately pulled out the wins. Loyola took down La Salle, while Davidson led SLU by as many as 13 in the first half and were still up 5 at the break, but a 16–0 Billiken run in the second half flipped the...

The 10 schools that will make up next year's MWC currently have an average NET of 158, so definitely a step behind the A-10 but they have some decent ones with New Mexico at 42, Nevada at 59, Grand Canyon at 67, and then Hawaii at 92. Kinda similar to A-10 with decent but not great ones at the...

Student body geographic composition had definitely already changed by the time he arrived, which was while I was there. But going from Morrill to Cooper certainly changed the overall vibe of the administration. And the 30% tuition increase in 2005 before he got the boot was another big shift in...

Average NETs: MWC: 116 A-10: 133 WCC: 138 MVC: 141 A couple of those conferences (mainly MWC and WCC) have a few very good teams at the top that put their conferences in position for multiple bids. But those conferences also have a few really bad teams. The A-10's problem (MVC is in similar...

This year's entering class was 13% from Virginia, exactly the same as my entering class 30 years ago.

Tyler with a game-high 25 tonight in another blowout loss. Big Grizz-Jazz trade today sends Jaren Jackson out of Memphis and a bunch of other role players swapping teams, but I don't know if that's potentially good or bad to Tyler's prospects of a call-up...

Creme moved us up three spots to third team out and two spots ahead of Fairfield. Rhody moved down a line to an 11-seed. https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/30423107/ncaa-women-bracketology-2026-women-college-basketball-projections

Honestly, even one loss the rest of the way in regular season could keep us out of share of A-10 title, especially if it's to GMU or Rhody. With GMU and Rhody only playing once, one of them won't take an L in that matchup.

Spiders also make a reappearance in ORV section of the coaches poll with 2 points.

Knock it off with the personal attacks, guys.

Yeah, mentioned that up a few posts. Stayed steady following VCU game, I was worried it might drop a little.

The belief among Ram fans was that she had checked out a while ago and they needed to move on. But damn, not even letting her finish out the season at this point is brutal. Not sure why they felt they had to move now.

For the first time in over two months, we've got a vote in the AP poll, this one from Carl Adamec. https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-womens-college-basketball-poll

Geez, won't even finish the season. I know Ram fans have wanted a change for a while, but timing feels odd after they performed decently against us yesterday.
