Lady Trojans definitely need to win out, and make the championship game of the tourney to have a chance, but even then it will be iffy.

Beating WKU will help, and then beating them again in Hot Springs may help you get in, with Wood Selig on the selection commitee.

I know the Lady Cajuns got in as an at-large a couple of years ago.

That said, you very well may beat my Lady Raiders in Hot Springs. Troy gave us a run for the money tonight.

I was hoping to get two SBC teams in the Top 25 by tourney time. Tough luck--- always tough in J-town.

The part I don't get is why was Reed on the bench while they made a 15 and 0 run at end of 1st half. She got the 2nd foul, apparently with a wild elbow swing. Still, she could have helped to stop the ridiculous 15 and 0 run. She ended the game with just 3 fouls. Also, typical road game. They shot twice as many foul shots as we did. No matter, there is no excuse for losing that ballgame. If they can't beat ASU on the road, I don't see them winning the Tournament.

When is she going to learn that she can't do that. She got called for a foul for doing the same thing in the Denver game.

She is one of the cockiest female players I've seen around in a while. But, she does back it up.

Once again, you have proven that the ASU contrubutors to this board, by and large, have much more class than ASU fans in general. Not your fault about the others. Thanks.

I appreciate your board and I really do feel bad about saying that about Foley tonight because it turns out I got bad info and should have checked it out . Please again accept my apology.

Accepted. It takes a lot of class to admit a mistake. Your not the first (and certainly not the last) to pass on bad info (rumors), but most don't take the time to apologize for it.

Thanks.

I have interacted with ASU fans who were here when we played, and all that I had contact with were very nice folks. I'm sure that some folks think our fans are rude when the students are active, but that's pretty much how every student body is these days. That's fun for them and part of their college experience.

It's unfortunate that the good folks get blamed for the actions of a few. But thanks for clearing up the Foley thing. What time I've spent around Coach Foley, it was inconceivable that he wouldn't shake hands with the opposing coach. The media thing was probably because he was afraid he'd say something in the heat of the moment that he would regret, so his better judgement prevented him from talking to them. But he's normally a very nice man, as well as an excellent coach. But you can't win them all.

I hated how we lost but the ladies will be okay. For the most part Reed has been carrying the team with help from Cooper. But the cog to this team is Sitzman. I hadn't looked at the stats but I would imagine when Kim gets at least 10 points we win the game. She is our only 3 point threat and Foley's motion offense needs the d to spread out. Rolfe doesn't shoot that much when open and if Kim is not hitting, the other teams are clogging the lanes and disrupting our offense. Hopefully, Kim will get her confidence back and start hitting. But hopefully at least one of the recruits coming in will be able to hit from outside. It sounds like the girl from Texas is a good 3 point shooter and the girl from Cabot is comparable to Renz, which she can play inside plus hit the 3. As far as this season, I'm proud of the girls accomplishment...they are on pace to beat last season wins. Each season we improve our record.

Don't know the details, I wasn't there, but, that doesn't sound like Foley. I would like to know why he didn't shake hands. There are very few things that could happen in a game that I can think of that would cause a coach not to do that. Like home cooking, and listening to our announcer, he didn't talk like we were getting screwed by the officials.

But, BigD, you guys never have liked Foley. I've been reading your board ever since Joe came to LR. I think it's pure jealousy, because you knew when he was hired, that he was going to be hard to beat.

I would like to hear the reason why he didn't shake his hand though. But, I'd rather have Joe Foley(the alleged bad sport)coaching our team, than some loser who was a good sport.

I'm not saying Foley isn't a good coach. He should needs to be just a little classier. I heard he didn't talk to the media after the game either.

That's not uncommon for coaches not to talk to the media when they lose the way we lost. Total lack of effort. I'm sure Foley was tending to his team and how they lost.
