As soon as I click back over we fall back behind. This one appears to follow our recent contests that have gone down to the wire.

This one is a true team effort as everyone who has been on the floor tonight outside of Rachel McLeod has scored. And it appears devon is doing plenty besides scoring tonight.

We've fallen behind by 8 closing in on midpoint of 2nd half. We are out-shooting & out-rebounding them. But we have 10 more turnovers.

Man, I was so hoping we could pull this out. Oh well. Happened for a reason. I'm sure we'll dominate the Big South though.

I hope so. G-W looks to be pretty good and HPU was picked to win the league along with us. The conference seems to be much improved.

GW has impressed me with a win over Purdue and CSU hung with UNC, but HPU isn't all that impressive this year. We've got to start figuring out a way to win these big non-conference games.

I take it you're only talking about this year's team because our women's program has a solid tradition of winning "big non-conference games." And to this year I'd say:

1 SR, 2 JRs; give 'em time.

Although I'd say for this young of a team that Tulane and Navy were "big non-conference games."

I was referring to this year's team more than anything, but overall since 2005 it seems like we've had more chances for big wins and just haven't been able to capitalize. Injuries/youth seem to be a big part of that as since 2005 we've never been able to have a really healthy, experienced squad.

2007-08 was a really good year beating Houston, Xavier, JMU, UNLV, Richmond. The only disappointments that year were losing to Va Tech and then ODU in the NCAAs. But yes the injury bug has been our achilles heel since 05. Hopefully that won't be the case the next 2 or 3 years because we could be REALLY good.

Great to see the triplets at the game and several dozen LU fans in attendance.

I figured this would be a rebuilding year anyway and I figured we are about a year away from some really great things. We get more experienced, get our injured players back like Brit Campbell and Kit Maine, and the transfer from TCU we could get a whole lot better. We will miss Amber Mays at the point. I am a little disappointed about us losing to UVA last night but UVA is ranked in the top 20 for a reason. In all of our big games this year that being UVA, Auburn, and JMU we played them tough, got down but fought back but just could't make the plays down the stretch. Now we are stuck with the Big South and NC A&T left on the schedule. I am not expecting us to win out and the Big South is improved a bit so hopefully win the conference and you never know in post season what we could do.

G-W is good, and don't count out HPU. BSC is a three-team race this year, and I'm not certain LU is the favorite. But that's a VERY good thing for that conference.
