Womens - @ Davidson - Sun 1/12 3pm ESPNU
- Thread starter Section9.RowD
- Start date
A couple other notes of interest perhaps: ((1) they're the St. Mary's of WBB - five on their roster are from Australia. And for good measure they also have players from Canada, Belgium and Hungary., and (2) they are 7-0 at home.
Ladies are up 63-39 and dribbling out the clock.
W 63-41--13-5/4-1, next up Wednesday, St Bona at home. ladies tied for first, men tied for 7th.

I can't remember which projection was referenced during the game yesterday, but it showed Richmond being in the "first four out" category - the assumption being Davidson would get the auto bid. I know most of the at-large bids will go to the mega-conferences, but if we maintain a NET in the 30s I have a hard time believing we would not receive at at-large berth.
The A10 women's basketball conference continues to get stronger each year. Right now we are the 8th best conference in WBB with NET rankings: https://www.warrennolan.com/basketballw/2025/net-conference
The last WBB bracketology on ESPN had Davidson as AQ and 3 teams (us, GMU, SJU) either in first four or next four out: https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/s...ogy-2025-women-college-basketball-projections
A lot of parity this year in the A10. There are about 10 teams right now who all have a decent chance to beat each other on any given night. I don't like the way they have weighted the NET rankings for women's basketball. I think it is trying to overcorrect for factors and makes it less harder to have stronger NET wins on paper.
We have a lot of tough opponents left to play. In terms of our best NET games left to play we have SJU (44) home & away, @ Duquesne (106), vs. Rhode island (129), vs. Davidson (97), VCU home & away (130), and @ Dayton (152). Would love to remain below 40 in NET. Best case I see is somewhere in the mid 20s if we win out, which of course will be very difficult. Have to take it a game at a time, but we are doing the best to position ourselves for an at-large.
We have the highest NET for non power teams.
