VCU is 12-15 overall and 6-9 in the A10. We beat then 75-42 back at Robins in mid January.

Lady Spiders cruise after a few closer games than expected. Spiders 75 - Ewes 48.

ticket office is open before game, get there 15 mins early should be okay.
 
VCU giving the Spiders all they can handle so far, all tied up at 28 midway through the second.

Spiders shooting well overall, but not doing much from outside. VCU is hitting some threes and racking up the offensive rebounds. Spiders getting some steals to offset and taking care of the ball themselves, but need to clean up the defensive glass and get the deep ball going more.
 
Nice stretch there, Spiders with good ball movement and cutting to get three straight buckets while forcing a shot violation and a travel late in the shot clock at the other end. VCU takes a timeout with the Spiders up 34–28.
 
8 threes for VCU in the first half, which is why the Spiders are only up 1 despite shooting 60%.
 
Turnovers starting to even out...Spiders need to make better decisions with the ball. 43–41 UR midway through the third.
 
Too close for comfort - VCU playing with no fear and nothing to lose
Overcommitting on defense and leading to easy layups we’ll be fine. I wish our mens team would play this hard when overmatched, but we should cruise here. Maggie is carving them up.

Spiders opened up a 9-point lead but missed a few threes that would have pushed it to double digits. 50–43 through three quarters. Doogan has 25.

I remember when some were critical of what they thought was a "legacy" hire by Hardt, that clearly there were better options than Roussell but Hardt was too lazy to look and didn't do his homework.

It's worked out well, I think.

Maggie was absolutely spectacular again today. Total superstar. Clear A-10 POY.
Roussell COY... Sweeney most improved..... and Ullstrom First team. Katie and Addie are tremendous and obviously don't deserve to be left out of any conversation..... and thrilled that Jimenez looks like she can play through whatever injury she's clearly carrying. Whatever happens in the St Joes game.... can't wait to watch them in both tournaments moving forward. Congrats to the staff and players.

It's an absolute pleasure to watch them play every single game knowing how hard they compete and that there's a clear plan against every opponent.
