Your women's basketball team's 2011-2012 season

[bonarae]

It's time to give props to the ladies too as they open their season.

Harvard will open its season on Saturday night at Iowa in the Hawkeye Challenge.

[superman7515]

University of Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens led by Gold Medal Winner and All-American Elena DelleDonne dropped a bomb on Rhode Island winning 89-53. Starters rested for a good bit of the 2nd half or it would have been worse. Delaware got a vote in the preseason AP Top 25, so hopefully a win to build on. Up next is a home game against #14 Penn State on Thursday.

[bonarae]

Harvard dropped its opening game to Iowa 90-81 but led as many as 14 in the first half (lead was 3 at halftime).

[HailSzczur]

Our womens team beat #25 Michigan St to open the season and then beat Iona last night to start 2-0. Not bad for the team projected to finish 13th in the BE

[bonarae]

Harvard lost another close game, this time to Butler, 69-68. Next game on Friday against Providence, still on the road.

[superman7515]

Big game tonight as #11 Penn State visits Delaware that received a pair of votes in the latest AP Top 25. Would love to see a win, but at the least hope we can keep it respectable with the team picked in the preseason as Big 10 Champ.

[superman7515]

HUGE WIN for the Delaware women's basketball team...

ESPN Recap - Delaware vs Penn State (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/recap?gameId=313210048)

NEWARK, Del. -- Elena Delle Donne had 40 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks to help Delaware rally to an 80-71 victory over Penn State (No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 11 AP) on Thursday night.


The Lions (2-1) were the highest-ranked team that the Blue Hens (2-0) have ever beaten. It was also just the third victory ever over a top 25 team for Delaware, which had been receiving votes in the AP top 25.

For Delle Donne, a 6-foot-5 junior, her 40 points were the third highest total in program history as well as in her career. The total also set a single-game women's record for the Carpenter Center. She was 15 for 23 from the field.

Alex Bentley scored 20 points to lead Penn State.

Before Thursday, the previous highest ranked team Delaware beat was No. 20 Kentucky in 2006.

[bonarae]

Harvard is now 0-3 on the young season, as we lost to Providence by 11.

Next games: Three-game homestand, opener against URI on Tuesday. No games on Thanksgiving weekend.

[RabidRabbit]

SDSU wins their first two at home, then lose a tough, defensive battle with a talented MTSU @ MTSU. Upcoming this week for the Rabbits: Washington St @ Brookings, then Cincinnati & Marist in Cancun for T-Day tourney.

[superman7515]

Delaware just misses out on being ranked in the AP Top 25, coming in at #27 with 79 votes.

[darell1976]

UND is 2-1 with wins over Idaho and Duquesne and a loss against Creighton. UND plays Southern Utah Friday night at the Aggie Hotel Encanto Thanksgiving Classic in Las Cruces, NM.

[TheDancinMonarch]

I may have lied, or joked, about Old Dominion not having a men's team this year but I am truly being truthful about their not having a women's team. Currently 0-4 with the average loss at 26 pts on the way to a probable 0-9 start. The last home game attended by 979 disinterested, aged fans. How the mighty have fallen!

[superman7515]

Delaware gets a nice win over Villanova at the Pavilion and is off to a nice 3-0 start.

[Side Judge]

Delaware gets a nice win over Villanova at the Pavilion and is off to a nice 3-0 start.

If they don't crack the top 25 with that win...

EDD's playing like her hair's on fire...

[bonarae]

Harvard notched their first win of the season by beating Rhode Island. 69-57. We have the Thanksgiving weekend off and next game is on Sunday against Holy Cross, continuing the three-game homestand.

How the mighty have fallen indeed-what happened?

[TheDancinMonarch]

How the mighty have fallen indeed-what happened?

How can I sum if up briefly.

Era #1 Excellent coaching. Excellent recruiting. We earn our opponents respect.
Era #2 Excellent coaching. Disinterested recruiting. Our opponents fear us.
Era #3 Disinterested coaching. Disinterested recruiting. Our opponents fear our uniforms.

We now have a new coach with limited player talent and our opponents are salivating at the chance to pay us back for 20 years of torment. The CAA games could be really rough. But under the new coach recruiting is picking up and help should be on the way. As a sports fan you have to be able to take the bad with the good. Life goes on.

[darell1976]

UND is now 4-1 with wins over SUU Friday night and New Mexico State last night. UND plays at Drake Thursday.

[superman7515]

[bonarae]

Harvard won against Boston U 62-57. We start another road trip to Durham and then Minneapolis before we head home for finals.

[TheRevSFA]

The SFA Ladyjacks are 7-0, with wins against GA Southern, Southern Mississippi, ULM. That Southern Miss one came down to a buzzer beater.

[superman7515]

Delaware knocks off previously unbeaten Princeton 81-70. Princeton had a 26-game home winning streak ended and had been recieving votes in the AP poll.

[darell1976]

Drake beat UND74-60. UND 4-2 plays host to Montana State Sunday afternoon.

[darell1976]

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Delaware moves to 6-0 for the first time ever in school history with a 73-57 victory over William and Mary. The Hens host Yale tomorrow night before going on the road for the rest of the month.

[HailSzczur]

Nova is a 6-2 right now, not too bad for the team picked to finish last in the BE.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

With a 77-45 route vs. Yale, the Hens move to 7-0. Next game is at Wake Forest on the 11th.

[RabidRabbit]

SDSU knocks off WA St. at Brookings, the falls (like a rock) to Cincinati. Jacks found a lid on the hole, setting records for SDSU in low points. Next night battled Marist, another of the great mid-majors to play SDSU, and fall again. Opened up Summit League with two road W at WIU & IUPUI. Next 3 games, UALR 2x, and KS St @ Brookings.

[Twentysix]

Is terrible and will continue to get worse until the coach is fired. Has had a 7 player roster under her stay. Her recent stop gap recruiting was to bring in 2 JC players.... FROM THE SAME JC, who averaged under 5 ppg in JC.

The NDSU women used to get crowds of 5k and won many DII National Championships. The program has atrophey(sp?) idk what else to say.

[OhioHen]

With a 77-45 route vs. Yale, the Hens move to 7-0. Next game is at Wake Forest on the 11th.

On the ESPN scroll last night, when NCAAW came through it only included #12 Rutgers at #9 Miami. No score shown for #22.
xsmhx xnonono2x xnonox xbangx xthumbsdownx xflamemadx xpissedx

Oh, I see it now - they only recognize the ESPN poll where Delaware is among ORV, not in the top 25.

[TheRevSFA]

SFA Ladyjacks are 8-0, but tonight they play Arkansas in Fayetteville. Probably going to see that undefeated streak end.

[bonarae]

Harvard beat UNH 69-62 on the road. On to Minneapolis to face Alcorn State and Minnesota before we head home for finals.

[TheRevSFA]

Well SFA was up on Arkansas, but lost. Now sitting at 8-1

That team took a turn for the worst since Amy Ruley left. She was an incredible coach.

[RabidRabbit]

That team took a turn for the worst since Amy Ruley left. She was an incredible coach.

Last couple of years of Amy Ruley's rule weren't barnburners either. SDSU's AJ has been WAY up there though. It will be interesting to see how long he stay in Brookings. He has the Jackrabbits running and hounding on D. Jacks shot horrible (4-26, 0-8 on 3's) to start the game vs AR-Little Rock last night, and because of steals, D, and offensive glass, were UP 1 at half, and did win the game. All 13 played, and 11 had >10 min played. SOOOO BALANCED.

[darell1976]

UND (4-4) dropped their 3rd straight 58-52 at Colorado State. UND will play at Missouri Saturday afternoon.

[HailSzczur]

Nova tops Providence College to move to 7-2(1-0). Not a bad way to kick off the BE program, and all and all not a bad start considering the pre season projections. Women play St Joes tomorrow in a BIG 5 game.

[bonarae]

Harvard dumped Alcorn State 78-55 in Minneapolis. Last game before our finals tomorrow at Minnesota. (Harvard men will play BU at home and 1 hour earlier than the women in Minneapolis.)

[RabidRabbit]

Harvard dumped Alcorn State 78-55 in Minneapolis. Last game before our finals tomorrow at Minnesota. (Harvard men will play BU at home and 1 hour earlier than the women in Minneapolis.)

Whoop the Gophs, please.

SDSU will not be playing MN until MN agrees to a home-n-home with Jacks. Given that Jacks are 2-1 on Gophs as a D-I, at MN, Gophs are afraid to venture next door to Brookings to a venue that would pack in 3K or better audience, and SDSU has a 95% win rate.

Hopefully Kansas St. will learn about how frosty Frost arena is tonite.

[HailSzczur]

The Hawk is Dead
Nova 52 Ugly, Feathered Rats 46
Nova moves to 8-2 (1-0)

[darell1976]

UND (4-5) lost to Missouri 69-52 for their 4th straight loss. Next up they host UNI next Saturday afternoon.

[bonarae]

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Delaware moves to 8-0 with a 70-57 victory over Wake Forest. Next up @ Providence on the 19th, and what will likely be the Hen's biggest challenge this year: ECU on the 28th and with a victory currently #5 Maryland on the 29th.

[darell1976]

UND (5-5) beat Northern Iowa 74-70! Next up vs Bemidji State on Monday night.

[OhioHen]

Hens win 68-47 at Providence to improve to 9-0. Moved up to #19 in the AP poll this week.

[Side Judge]

Hens win 68-47 at Providence to improve to 9-0. Moved up to #19 in the AP poll this week.

Hopefully they don't look past ECU in the build-up to Maryland - at 10-0 with the best player in women's bball would their game against MD be televised? Would they go top 10 if they won?

[TheBisonator]

.....It sucks.

That is the continuation of the original subject line.

[darell1976]

.....It sucks.

That is the continuation of the original subject line.

Yeah 2-11 is not good and 1 of those wins was against NAIA Valley City.

[bonarae]

Harvard beat St. John's 63-56 for its first win over a Big East team since 2003.

[darell1976]

[OhioHen]

Delaware beat East Carolina 60-40 yesterday. Next up - at #5 Maryland.

[bonarae]

Meanwhile, as the men's team was losing, Harvard women beat UMass 68-47; Brogan Berry recorded her first career double-double and moved into ninth place in Ivy League history with 456 assists recorded in her career thus far.

[TheRevSFA]

Raider Up!

[darell1976]

[bonarae]

Harvard beat Dartmouth 71-63 in its Ivy League opener. Brogan Berry is now #7 in Ivy League career history in the number of assists. We're finally going home to host UND (North Dakota) on Tuesday night.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

[darell1976]

UND (8-9) beat Jamestown College 57-47 Thursday night next game is at Harvard Tuesday night.

[bonarae]

Harvard lost a close game to UND (Unfortunately, we can't call them by any mascot name for the meantime anymore) 60-57.

[darell1976]

UND (9-9) beat Harvard 60-57.....next up Conference play vs Utah Valley on Saturday afternoon.

[Twentysix]

When was that?

Against USD. The 2 horrible JC transfers, *****ed about me standing in the student section. I congradulated them on getting 150 people to watch their games, I may have been a little mad. There were around 4000 there for the mens game, it was a double header.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

With wins against Hofstra, Drexel, and JMU, the Hens shut down the 2nd place CAA women's teams three games in a row.

[bonarae]

Harvard split last weekend's games, losing to Yale and held on to beat Brown. This weekend we are on the road, visiting Cornell and Columbia.

[eiu1999]

The EIU Lady Panthers are ranked 16th in the current mid-major poll, with an 18-4 record, 9-0 in OVC play.

[RabidRabbit]

The CBI women's mid-major poll has at least one glaring omission: South Dakota St. Leading the Summit League by two game over #22 Oral Roberts, and come Mon 2/5, 3 games, as ORU plays at Brookings. SDSU has RPI in the 60's-70's, rest of league is 110+ in RPI. Overall, Summit League is 15th (of 31). No bad losses, and a good win over PAC-12 Washington St. Jacks should go into the Summit tourney 22-7. Currently 15-7, and have 2 road games (of 7 total) to go.

[darell1976]

UND (2-1 GWC and 11-10 overall) beat Chicago St last Saturday 77-68 play host to Houston Baptist tonight at the Betty...UND has a 5 game home stand before finishing on the road for their last 3 games.

[darell1976]

UND (4-1 GWC 13-10 overall) took over first place with a 93-60 win over UTPA. Next up is Thursday night against Chicago St at the Betty. UND has won 6 out of their last 7 and 4 in a row!!! GO UND!

UND coach Gene Roebuck has coached his last regular season home game last night with a 79-45 win over NAIA Mayville State. Roebuck is retiring after this year after 25 years of coaching and three DII National titles in 1997, 98, and 99. Roebuck's 623rd win was in front of 1850 fans at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center. UND could host another home game as the Women's Basketball Invitational Tournament has expressed intrest in UND. UND's next game is at UTPA Thursday night. UND (6-1 GWC and 16-10 overall) has won seven in a row and nine out of the last ten games. UND finished 15-16 overall and 8-4 in the GWC last season.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Delaware beat Drexel 40-39 in a real nail-biter of a game. Elena Delle Donne sunk th game winning basket with just over 2 seconds left on the clock, who says women's basketball isn't exciting?

With losses by UConn, Duke, and Kentucky in the top 10, Delaware has the chance to advance further from the current #10/#9 position in the polls.

Harvard split yet another weekend encounter with Brown (L by 3) and Yale (W by 20)

Five games remain in the Ivy schedule (road series with the P's and March homestand to close out regular season). I don't think we can make the postseason with a 13-10 overall and 6-3 conference record.

[RabidRabbit]

Jacks lead the Summit League by 2 games with 2 to go in league play. Summit League tourney will be played for the 4th straight year in Jacks backyard at the Sioux Falls Arena.

With both the men's and women's team with a top two seed, look for the tourney to set new records for attendence.

At least until the following season when USD Yotes join the tourney mix.

[darell1976]

UND defeated UTPA 60-58. UND is now 7-1 in the GWC and 17-10 overall and has won 8 in a row and 10 out of their last 11 games. UND holds a 1.5 game lead over Utah Valley for first place with just 2 games left for UND. UND is at Houston Baptist Saturday night.

I like that South Dakota St. of 08-09 was a comparable for UD seeding. Jacks finished off their last home-stand in high style, routing WIU 101-61, and the two seniors, Jill Young and Jenn Sunnaborg (Sunny) both had outstanding games. Summit League finishes the regular season with FOUR 20 Win teams, one of 8 leagues to accomplish that feat. Summit League is well "up" this year, and only 17-1, 31-2 SDSU 08-09 team, is better than this year's 16-2, 22-8, SDSU WBB in the last 10 years of the Summit.

Time to gear up for the Summit Tourney in Sioux Falls, SD, starting this Sat. I would be extremely surprised if SDSU is even under a 10 pt winner prior to the league championship on Tues. All possible opponents are teams that the Jacks have fairly steadily blown-out. Even ORU was a blow-out in Brookings. Sioux Falls, for a "neutral" court, feels like home games for the Jacks.

So Ivy League teams can play in the NCAA basketball tournament but cannot play in the FCS playoffs?? Am I missing something here?

Yes, unfortunately. All Ivy teams in sports except football can play in the postseason given their first or second-place standing in the conference.

[darell1976]

Yes, unfortunately. All Ivy teams in sports except football can play in the postseason given their first or second-place standing in the conference.

University of North Dakota head women's basketball coach Gene Roebuck has been named the 2011-12 Great West Conference Women's Basketball Coach of the Year as announced tonight at the GWC Tournament banquet. In addition, redshirt freshman center Emily Evers received the Great West Conference Sixth Woman Award and three Sioux were named all-conference.

This is the second time in three years that Roebuck, who led the Fighting Sioux to the 2011-12 GWC regular-season title with a league record of 9-1, has received the Great West's top coaching honor. He received the league's inaugural award in 2009-10 after the Sioux captured the first GWC championship. Now a 12-time coach of the year, this is Roebuck's 25th and final season at the helm of the Sioux. He currently holds a phenomenal record of 712-158 overall and a 626-144 mark at North Dakota.

SDSU Jacks won their 4th straight Summit League title in a come-from-behind OT win against the #3 seed UMKC Roos. Senior Guard Jill Young was fouled with 7 second left in OT, and the 90% FT shooter nailed both to provide a 1 pt win. 'Roos (and game) top scorer missed her 8 ft runner as time ran out, and Jacks escaped to the NCAA tourney. It was the first of two OT games for the Jacks in the Summit Championships.

Delaware eviscerates U. of North Carolina Wilmington 66-39. Elena Delle Donne plays a grand total of 18 minutes of a 40 minute game. Delaware is much deeper than people realize.
Tomorrow's final is on Comcast @ 12:30

... is mercifully over after only 11 wins and, gulp!, 21 defeats. Maybe I should have stayed awake during that class on taking the bad with the good. Yikes!

But on a more positive note congrats to EDD and UD and good luck in the NCAAs.

Even sweeter because it was vs Drexel, and they were playing as dirty as I've ever seen a team play, literally shoving and throwing elbows with intent to hurt after the whistle.

So what happens once Elena Delle Donne graduates and immediately becomes a superstar ESPN analyst?

She has another year left, but the rest of the team has really stepped up as well. The hope is that the exposure Delaware gets this year and next will pay major dividends in recruiting for the future. ODU was a Women's BB powerhouse for many years through many players, and UD has the potential to do the same. Tina Martin is an excellent coach with a great record. The UD women's team has always been good, this year is just the result of all the stars aligning.

I have to figure EDD will have a solid WNBA career before jumping to analyst though.

Hens up by 10 at the half. UALR is very athletic and quick.

Sport bras mash down Hooter champs. Besides in this thread, basketball talent is valued, not Hooter or Hoover skills.

Go UD! Take out the name programs!

RR is correct. I coached girls from 1990 till 2006. Sports bras are mandatory safety equipment. Anyone showing up to practice with a lacy underwire bra is sent to the bench and told not to come back until they bring a sports bra.

You don't need to see the girl without a T-shirt to know the difference.
