As POTUS said the Ladies seem to have a game like this in conference every year.

Kenny has stated that there will probably be a lot of grind it out kind of games this season.

The margin for error seems to be small so each game everyone needs to be on the top of things.

Gonna be an antacid kinda season I think. Hope I can take the stress!!!!!

Think that as the season progresses things will even out somewhat, team still looks like a bit of a work in progress especially with the freshmen getting some heavy minutes.

Go Dukes!!

Rootin!!

Will be there Friday evening.

Our women's team has spoiled us in recent years. They are a little more back down to earth this year. Will need to work their butts off for every win.

I always preface this one bit of criticism of Coach Brooks by saying that he obviously does a great job. I just rarely ever see one player shoot 20 plus times in a men's or women's game and it happens several times a year with the Dukes. Just curious if he has ever been asked about it or commented on it.

Playing three on 5 is never good. Seniors want to go out with a bang, looking at conference poy and a pro career down the line. We need to play team ball. Coach Brooks is going ride or die with his seniors until the wheels fall off and they've earned it, but you still have to play team ball 5 on 5. I see players wide open not touching the ball and that's not good. Either you don't trust them or your freezing them out because the chemistry isn't there either way it's not good for success. When Ashley, Jaz and Muff are hot it's all good and things go unnoticed but when they are off it's very noticeable. Coach is going to have to make an adjustment in those games because the players are going to keep jacking shots if you let them.

While much improved from last year, W&M has an inflated record due to having one of the worst SOSs in the country. They couldn't compete with even slightly better competition than the cupcakes they played in most games. We should win pretty easily.

How did that work out for you?

It's fine, upsets happen and it's not the end of the world. It was one game, time to move on. There are still 17 conference games left that we have chances to win.
