It's Tourny Time: Spiders vs Ramblers
- Thread starter mr.spider
- Start date
43–22 at the half. Spiders working in some bench minutes to help keep starters fresh.
This is a great crowd, even without the kids we have a lot of Spiders here. The ladies are just putting it on the Ramblers. Total domination so far, 54-30.
Ends up a 16 point win, great job Spiders!
Keep it rolling next round.

I wonder how decisively the remaining top seeds will win their games today, if they win. We set the bar pretty high!
Incredible game and incredible team. So many parallels with the MBB and WBB this season. Keep marching on!
The game was over after 2 minutes. We just punched them right in the face and they had no answer the rest of the game. Love that approach! Hopefully Townsend is good to go for tomorrow; she got body-checked really hard late in the game and was down for a minute, but she did come back and finish out the game.
I think it's 6 one way, half a dozen the other; Duquesne we had a road game and a poor shooting night and Mason we had a road game but went to OT. I think from a crowd-control/input perspective, would rather have Duquesne since it's easier for Mason fans to get there.
I think the gals know the game plan from here on out and can just get back to business. I bet we get Duquesne, but whoever it is will be tired as they are in a close one going into 4Q.

Duquesne wins by 1 on a crazy ending. They're hotter but I think we would rather have this matchup.
Mason was inbounding under their basket and got fouled, and the refs initially called it a shooting foul to send Mason to the line for two with 0.5 seconds left. Then there was a long ref huddle and they (correctly, I think) called it a non-shooting foul. Mason inbounded again and got a point-blank shot off but it rolled out.

Duquesne is a hot team but I'm sure our team wants that revenge game. It's also best case scenario in terms of both of these teams really having to battle a full game, while we relatively cruised. Duquesne will be playing their 3rd day in a row tomorrow and Richmond will be the much fresher team. Hoping it shows up in the second half in the legs!
We already housed Duquesne in the revenge game a week ago. Happy for us to do it again tomorrow.
They were outplayed that entire game. Enjoy watching the rest of the tournament from home, lady lambs!
St. Joe's in danger against URI, and if they fall we'll be the only double-bye team still standing. Obviously Duquesne, URI, and SLU are good enough on any given day to beat top teams, but the seeds are potentially clearing out in front of us.
Down go the Hawks. The 1/5/6/7 seeds remain.
Everyone who can, get to the game tomorrow. No doubt in my mind that today's crowd gave us a huge advantage.
I'd think this helps UR a lot. None of the other A10 bubble teams can leapfrog UR with a better (non-title) run in the tournament now and in fact, all had damaging losses. To me, it just makes UR stand alone as reg. season winner and now in conf. semis as the only at-large / should be in candidate.
side note: has ESPN's women's Bubble Watch really not been updated since Wednesday? In the middle of tournament week when people want the most updated analysis?
They don't seem to be publishing new/updated Bubble Watch articles, but they are updating their Bracketology regularly.

Arizona is playing its best ball of the season and went 5-3 down the stretch, which is better than most bubble teams. But the Wildcats are also 17-15.

It does. We are the only at large, or easily the best, candidate in a10 now. My concern is we r 54 Net much better than men’s but some similar issues. While the women deserve a bid imo, Duquesne is 123 so that would be a damaging loss even tho Duq is pretty good. Get this W today and I’d feel much better. Of course win today & auto bid odds increases good amount. But like u said based on some seedings a loss today could be dicey. I’m not very familiar w women’s bubble however.
This team strikes me as one that is going to finish the job.
Yeah, a few very sloppy pocket picks, although we’ve returned the favor some.
Lead is up to 13. Keep the pressure on and don’t give them any momentum.
