I don't know if these ladies have the shooting legs at this point of the season. The shots just look off and it's probably because they are tired. And that makes sense; they aren't used to playing this deep into March. It's a stamina builder and learning experience either way. Please stop with the conditioning excuses. Anyone that played at this level should know that these are fine-tuned and conditioned athletes. I'm not buying into this their legs are tired they are out of condition excuse. If a player shot is off it could be just as much mental as it is physical. At this point it's not the physical conditioning that is the problem but it is the mental conditioning and execution. That is where proper coaching comes into play. Coach Rob has to prepare them mentally the rest will take care of itself. I hope you’re right. |

 who said they shouldn't choose the autobid? You are when you suggest that the NCAA should go to an FCS platform for basketball. The CAA will no longer have an automatic bid to the big dance if they elect to be a FCS basketball conference. You can't have it both ways. North Dakota State or South Dakota State do not get invited to the FBS playoffs. I understand the separation for football, but the gap is not as large for other sports. We just need to overhaul the transfer portal and NIL rules because they are destroying the mid-level and low-level development and competition in my opinion. It will take time to come up with an acceptable solution. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! STOP PUTTING YOUR WORDS IN MY MOUTH!! i didn't say any of those things that you are stating. i suggest that you go back and re-read what i actually stated instead of "putting words in my mouth". did i not previously state that "if" either our wbb or mbb teams make the "big dance", give me a 16 seed and put me in the "play-in games"? did i not state that? how can i ask for a 16 seed if we don't accept the autobid? you've gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off on a tangent. you're making an argument against something that "i did not say". please stop putting "your words" in my mouth. i "never" once said anything about not accepting an autobid... |

I know you said the above stuff as well, but my post focused on the portion of your post that discussed the following: "for that reason, i've been a long time advocate of there being an equivalent of the fcs playoffs at the d1 level in basketball cuz most low to mid-major schools have almost no chance of making the ncaa d1 2nd or 3rd rounds, much less the sweet 16 or final 4." What are you "implying" here since the NIT has been around longer than the NCAA tournament? Why are you mentioning something that all know by default if you don't make it to the NCAA tournament you may get invited to a lower tournament, unless you are proposing this innovative idea that the low to mid-major schools be locked into participating in a FCS basketball style playoff. If my interpretation of that paragraph is wrong, then feel free to straighten me out. I am not afraid to admit that I am wrong after hearing your explanation. I completely understand that under the current format you prefer us being a 16th seed. |

This game vs Troy will be our hardest test this team has 5 Double figure scores one is from Charlotte. WE HAVE to PLAY IN THE 60s to win point blank. If I had to compare them to a CAA team, it would be Charleston. Biggest differences between the two would be defense and rebounding. They aren't all that great on defense, but 1st in the NCAA in rebounds per game(47). They will go deep into their bench and will shoot very early in the shot clock. If we can put points on the board and stay out of foul trouble, we can pick up a W. |

If I was the HC of A&T men or women basketball team and won the regular season championship and/or CAA Tournament Championship, I would always choose the NCAA automatic bid. who said they shouldn't choose the autobid? It's not a choice. The conference is obligated to send their tournament champion to the NCAA. |

I thought about this ...of all the CAA teams in the tournaments....A&T is the only CAA team still playing.
To me, that is a big indication our WBB program is trending in a very good place....
Playing in club corbett is a big advantage for us....
