Spider women’s lacrosse game against Navy is getting moved from Wednesday to Tuesday. Granted it’s outdoors, but wonder if there will be a schedule change for the basketball game too.
I doubt it. Hoops usually plays regardless of weather. As long as GW gets down here before the snow, game will probably happen.
Another game where an inferior opponent put up a good fight, but Spiders get the win. Probably a combination of opponents playing up (it’s their Super Bowl!) and us not having great games.
Hope we get our piece straightened out…would love to win out the regular season and then aA-10 tournament is going to be super tough.

VCU playing their Super Bowl against us is still 1 of the funniest things I've read on here.
These games are grinds. We have to stay on top of our game every night out as teams give us their best shot. The foul that led to the Roussell technical was worst call I saw all year. Felt like the officials were off tonight. No excuses, we did not close out well on 3 point shooters and other than Duggan, I thought GW wanted the rebounds more. But a win is a win.
Robert Fish has done play-by-play for some of the WBB games and Craig Kocher (University Chaplain) does some as well including Wednesday's GW game. Although I've never seen anything introducing him in depth, I'm pretty sure the color commentary is handled by Darrell Owens. He runs a sports media company called Legacymaker Sports Network.
Another gritty win, which is always a positive, but starting to get a little worrisome. 2 games that were close until the end, which shouldn’t have been. Again, I think this is a testament to the depth of the A10 conference as a whole. Still, if we play like this the last 3 games, I wouldn’t be surprised if we find ourselves on the losing end. Definitely if we play like this in the tournament. Hope the team remains motivated. Every game matters not only for A10 regular season championship, A10 tournament seeding, but also NCAA as well. Have to bring our “A” game the rest of the season.
I agree that the overall level of play has taken a couple of steps back the last few games. Seems like some panic has set in to me, but fortunately have had enough to get the wins. Normally I would say it would be a good thing to lose a game in the regular season to use to refocus and take some the the pressure off. However, if the Spiders want to keep the possibly of an at-large bid they simply cannot lose in the conference season.
Have definitely enjoyed watching the ladies play, but hasn’t been as fun due to the recent decline. Hopefully the day off today gives them some new life and we can see another no questions asked win against VCU.
Go Lady Spiders!

Native - seems a bit harsh to me. Roussell and Doogan postgame mentioned that they had been going ten days without a break and today would be their first off-day in a while. I think they're just tired but then everyone is at this point in the season. We dropped two more spots in the NET after yesterday's game (now 34) but feel like we are still safely on track for a bid.
My biggest concern at the moment is the injury Jimenez sustained yesterday. Hopefully nothing is broken and she'll be back soon as she's proven to be a valuable reserve.

@Section 204and5 Yes the season is long and they have had a grind. Although the first game where I saw the panic was St. Joe’s which was at the beginning of the long stretch. Part of it is getting spoiled by some really great play the 8 games prior. We all know that the Lady Spiders are going to get the best from their opponents too.
But like @spiderstudent17 I have the sense that the team is a little shaky in the confidence department. However, they have kept the winning streak alive, so doing what they need to do. Just know that the deck is stacked against the mid-major teams, so not much room for error.

Just my gut feeling, but I think this team is due a loss. Let’s just hope it happens against a Davidson or Saint Joe’s now and not in A10 tournament. Could be a lot more pressure playing on a win streak of 15+ games. As long as we don’t lose more than one regular season game, I think we are safely in the NCAA tournament.
I think this is fair... and I also kinda mentally penciled in the @St Joes game as a loss basically when the schedule came out. My mind hasn't really changed. But I don't think it ultimately matters to our long term prospects this year.... and perhaps most importantly, I know they're gonna be prepared and play their asses off. I'm really, really proud of this group from coaches all the way down. I echo Section 204and5's sentiment re: Jimenez. She's a huge piece for us off the bench defensively.
