WBB Game 23: FIU (6-14, 3-4) vs ODU (4-18, 2-6) Education Game 2
Tomorrow during the day, ODU will play Education Game Number Two against the Golden Panthers of FIU. This is an important game for ODU. Let's look at the standings going into Thursday's game with the team's around ODU....
Charlotte. 3-4 (conference record)
FIU: 3-4
North Texas: 2-6
ODU: 2-6
Marshall: 1-6
UTSA: 1-7
If the season ended today, we would be in the Con USA tournament. But since we have 8 games left, we have time to make a move. ODU has a home game with North Texas, a road game with Charlotte, and we play FIU tomorrow. We havea good chance of advancing our record and not getting into the tournament as "last ones in". This is a big game that could determine the standings for the tournament.

The Golden Panthers have an interesting win progression over the last three years.
2014-15: 3 wins
2015-16: 4 wins
2016-17: 5 wins
Already this year's squad has more wins than last year. So progress from second year coach Tiara Malcom. (the former Delaware player)

#02 Cabria Lee 5'8" G Fr 2.4 ppg, 1.1 rpg, 0.7 apg, 42.5 FG%, 50.0 3P%, 60.0 FT%, 11.1 mpg
Since conference play, Pound is now averaging 15.3 ppg and 10.7 rpg. She is dangerous down low and is definitely a player to guard. Hudson is averaging 13.0 ppg and 5.1 apg. She is their floor general and Rodgers is number two. Together they accont for over half of the team's assist per game. They have four players who average around ten points a game. That is what this team tough to guard. Almost everything Gordon shots is from downtown and she shots over 40%. They are aggressive, as evident by there 13.1 free throws made per game.

BPG......2.1.........2.3
Ast/TO ratio: FIU: 0.7, ODU: 0.7
ODU is 1-0 in education games. We have a two game winning streak at home. FIU has yet to win on the road. And we have a full week to rest our players and prepare. Yes we lost, but the team came to play with just eight players. Hopefully we will have Loftus back.
This is our time to start making a move in the standings and make sure we have some space to make the tournament.
I feel a win coming on here. :-)
