I'm surprised noone has mentioned the game tonight. It should be a good matchup between two 20+ win teams from a year ago. Game time is set for 7 pm.

I'll be there as soon as I can get there after I get off work.

After a horrible start, going down 12-0 and trailing by as much as 15 we cut it to 31-27 at the half. Megan has 18. Our old turnover nemesis was a big part of the early struggles. Amber Mays looks like the real deal.

We are tied at 35 right now. Seems as though we have things together after that horrible start.

So far we have only used 7 players. Quite a difference from past teams

I do know that we had a lot of injuries. Down by 1 with the ball after that offensive rebound.

Anyone have any scoop on #3...Devon Brown...the girl from Waynesboro that scored so many points?

We are up 52-51 with 4:30 remaining now. I think that is our first lead of the game. The second half has been very tight. Big edge in rebounds now. Megan carrying us. Need other to step up. Avery Warley has stepped it up this half. The three point shooting is off in a big way.

There is a thread on her fumble. She is injured, and also has eligibility issues. Doesn't look like she will play this year.

A stress fracture I think will keep her on the bench but has thoughts of redshirting.

Up 54-51 with 3 minutes remaining. Seems like we have the momentum now but VCU has been hitting 3's

Tied at 56...Worley at the line shooting 2 with 7 seconds remaining.

The crowd looks very good and very loud on TV.

It may or may not have been a foul, but that is a call officials usually do not make at that point in the game.

How do you foul someone on a 3 point shot with 2 seconds to go? Wasn't there so don't know, but not usually a good thing. :cry:

it was a very obvious foul. refs don't want to make a call like that in that particular situation, but it was way too obvious

I got there to see the end of this one. They showed the replay there a couple times. She was untouched.

Where was Brittany Campbell? We need some outside shooting.

I was at the game it looked like Amber touched(checked) her on the arm just before she shot.
