The official Richmond Women's Top 25 thread

imagine the publicity and national media attention that would come our way if we made that move.
Yep, pretty sure we wouldn't be getting shut out on the ESPN Friday night showcases if we made that move. Obviously, that won't happen for many reasons not the least of which is we are incredibly bad at creating publicity and media attention.

Got a nice message from Ally Sweeney the other day. Sorry I screened the call! They should be in the top 25 for both basketball and likeability.
I got a call from Katie Hill yesterday morning thanking me for my support of the women’s team. Really incredible to see them take the time to call and thank donors. I can’t wait to see them continue to play their way into the top 25
 
I got a call from Courtney Swider. I'm pretty sure I surprised her when I pointed out she'd made two threes in the previous game. She couldn't have been any more pleasant and the call (with no money ask!!) was appreciated. I also got the same kind and quality of call from Jada Green last year.
 
We also doubled from 2 to 4 in the coaches poll...whoopie.

Next week's polls will include the Oakland and Oklahoma State games in Daytona. Oakland won't move the needle if we win that as we should, but Oklahoma State would be a nice win to kick off the monster back half of the OOC schedule. They're not getting any top 25 votes, but they're 6–0 against a fairly weak schedule so far and are expected to be solid. They beat Fairfield in Stillwater right after we did, but they only won by 2 at home while we won by 23 on the road. Take from that what you will at your own risk.

Can someone share when Alston will be cleared to play. She was a top scorer
in SoCon last year. With Sweeney and Newell playing lights out at PG, may be
someone else she would be replacing.

I wonder if Alston will ultimately redshirt and play in her year 6 and gain a masters degree
 
We outscored Oakland 30-6 in second qtr. I did some advanced scouting and we should be able to listen to the OK State broadcast tomorrow. Just go to their WBB site for a link.
I watched, or sorta watched, on Baller TV- made FloSports look good. No announcers - and many frozen screens

Her ankle injury seemed minor and she was back practicing with the team 2 or so weeks ago. I am hopeful she’ll be back by Wednesday for our very tough stretch. Ideally tomorrow against Ok State but unlikely if she didn’t play today. If she’s not back by conference play then it might be worth the discussion of redshirting like Camden did.
 
It is kind of weird that we are going back to back and Ok St has been off since Monday, but I guess we are getting ready for March!

Thanks for passing broadcast info along.
I started to pay for the Baller TV today, but did not know if it was for this event only or also included the next event scheduled vs Tenn and Alabama.
Knew I would be watching FCS playoff games tomorrow afternoon via ESPN+. Can listen in via Ok State site and mute the playoff game and watch
 
I believe ullstrom has set the single game 3pt record for women, seems like the previous record holder was Caitlin Clark with 9.

Oops, that is the ncaa tournament record. Seems like the real record is 14, and the record for most consecutive 3s is 11.
