They need to get past the tourney issues. From what I’ve seen, they are the best team but come tourney time it’s different. Toledo is very good and they still need to travel there. At Kent as well. Being 1 seed will be important.

What does this mean Well we know its shit the bed Time Can we change it? Totally agree. It has been magical but the real magic happens by clinching both the Regular season title AND winning the tournament and heading to the Dance. That's a harsh truth but if we don't close the deal with as special as this team has been it will feel very hollow for the players, coaches and fans again. We've had some really good teams the past few years and last year was a great example. 26-9 overall but at the end we just couldn't beat BG. This year feels like that is us. We look like the team that even the other really good ones can't seem to beat and we find a way to win. I pray for Brady and this team that this is our year. He and this program deserve it. |

Go to the womens mid major poll and read the article about the Cards being snubbed by the AP poll. We have been #3 in the mid major poll for 8 weeks and now on the cusp of #25 in coaches poll. Article points out that there are lesser teams than the cards who have been reconized by the AP.

There are some really tough games ahead. It is hard to beat a team on their home floor. Buffalo, Kent and Toledo. A perfect storm of foul trouble a bad shooting night and the other team hit every shot they take might beat us or not. Our depth is un matched and the bench players consistently play good defense. Check the 4th quarter stats of who we have played and you will notice for the most part that the other team pretty much runs out of gas.

This team and Coach Sallee deserve it. We've been so close. However, never underestimate a Tricia Cullop coached Toledo team. We really need Toledo to lose another conference game.
Buffalo, Kent, and BGSU are my potential spoiler predictions.

Could this team with only 3-4 losses be an at large team??

Unfortunately their losses to ND and UCONN were not very competitive. That may factor in.

There are several teams who have played UC and Noter Dame this year who have not competitive. Agreed, but if you want to impress the committee to let a second MAC team in, you need to demonstrate you are truly exceptional. They didn’t do that in those games. Not saying it will for sure kill them if we get to that point, but it sure could have helped if the games were closer. |

I agree that if the games would have been reasonable losses would really make a case for us to be in. I think that if we played them again it would be closer. Early we had deer in the headlights syndrome in the first quarter of those games making it difficult to get over the shock and awe of all of it. Being tabbed as a 13th seed indicates that the Cards and also the MAC have not been evaluated. Princeton is now ranked #25 and are ranked ahead of us at #2 in Mid Major poll. We are beating some really weak MAC teams that may also hurt our chances. BG gave Toledo a good game but fell short. Win, lose ,or draw the rest of the way will not take away the joy I have had in watching our team play the game the right way with the passion and commitment they have for the game and each other. Ashlynn Brooke made two laser passes to Alex Richards that again really got my attention. She is the real deal and with more game experience will be a star for us and the conference.

They have Toledo, Kent State, Buffalo & Ohio on the road before tourney.
Their SBC Challenge game is 16-7 James Madison @ home. Could be a trap game.

Princeton’s losses have been closer to both UCLA and Indiana and have a win over #22 Oklahoma.

We are close to Princton inthe poll. They are 630 something and we ae 619. Gonzaga hit 19 3 pointers the other night and have beaten Toledo 91-70. I am glad J.Madison is a home game. In another bracket Gonzaga is a 4th seed playing Ball State a 13th seed in Portland.
