59-49 JMU

3:34 Remaining.

Not good.

FINAL

JMU 68

ODU 56

They just seemed to be really fast and athletic, not much bigger, but still bigger. haha very good ball handles to be able to drive to the basket and they finished.everything was either in the paint or right outside of it. wouldn't discount the ladies effort though.

Tough loss. I thought ODU might pull this one out. It was very much a back-and-forth game.

ODU has a tough schedule the rest of the way. It's gut check time for the team. They have a nice record this year but its been built by beating up on bad teams. They only have 2 wins over teams with winning records. This is their chance to play their way into postseason play.

Yeah. To me, there isn't much to spin any positive on this loss. We should of won this game. JMU isn't that good this year either.

Barefoot has things going in a positive direction, but next year will be telling. I'd like to see far fewer cupcakes on the schedule next year.

We need some size just like the men. Doesn't Karen have a good big girl signed for next year?

If by bigger you mean 6 ft 3 or taller, the answer is no.

I do not understand why Shakeva Richards starts? She will seems to play a few short minutes at the beginning of games and never re enter. Although she did re enter for a little at the end of the JMU game, she does not seem very effective and doesn't use her size that well down low.
