Penn State, who impressed the selection committee enough to get the 7 seed despite never having won a game in the NCAA Tournament, loses to CAA's Towson in the first round, 12-8.

Looks like only 5 seats remaining.

Colorado State forward Amanda Kantzy has transferred to UA.
6'3" and 2 years of eligibility.

Betting lines:
UA women a 1.5 goal underdog.
UA men a 2.5 goal favorite, and the over/under is the largest in the first round at 27.5.

Tough loss...Proud of team and future bright.
That quickly devolved from a game they shouldn't have won to a game they shouldn't have lost. Hero ball indeed.
Good effort; now make a run in a secondary, tertiary, or quaternary post season tournament to close out the season.

No Cremo... not executing on offense for long stretches... some homer officiating calls...
And a tied game at halftime? That works... Get it done.

Good karma: Hagerty High School just took 3rd place in the national high school cheer championships on ESPN2 before the game.

49 ppl on the bus. Heading up to UVM. Let's go Danes!
Have fun and safe travels.
I hope your return ride is done with a wide grin on your face!

I missed the game but followed the first half on the commute and got to watch the second half on-line.
Congratulations to the UA women; six in a row is incredible.
I now feel more comfortable raising Coach Mac's season grade to a C minus!
So if a championship in the first season = C- I hate to see the grade for a "fan" who doesn't even show up for a home championship game
Awww, come one, Bob...I was tongue-in-cheek backhandedly admitting I might have been too tough on Coach Mac.
Regarding my attendance, I was going to redo my schedule as I hadn't previously missed a championship home game for basketball. This year I have missed more games than in Coach Abe's entire tenure. Watching them switch to up-tempo and throw the ball away so much was too difficult to watch at times after watching years of a more disciplined system.
Championship game was 19 assists and 10 turnovers...that might have been the most well executed game they have had all season...I won't count the UMass Lowell game where they just outclassed their opponent.
I might warm to Coach Mac when she recruits her own players that play her style but the transition this year was difficult, despite the final result.

Grace Claxton went to the "Last Chance" meet the next day and got her time low enough for NCAA Nationals...that's news, right?

Funny that people judge a coach after a little more than half a season. It's going to take her 2+ years to get her team and philosophy in place. Give her time.
Judgment (evaluation) should happen in real-time.
Personnel decisions based on those judgments should happen much less frequently.

So I went to the UMBC game with 3 friends and they all said the same thing.....so I'm changing my grade to a ‘D’. I went to the game with 3 friends. The first quarter they put personnel in to run and you could see the panic for UMBC trying to get back, two were chasing that Aiyalogbe girl back. The spread in the score was going up and then subs come in and those players barely see the court in the 2nd quarter. The offence completely died, no more running, no more movement. Playing 4 against 5 again, no room for Tate to move around and do her magic when it's 4 on 5. No idea why?
Then there’s a new play called pass it to Tate and have her create on her own the rest of the game, poor Tate I don’t blame her she’s an incredible player but who can’t see what’s happening! UMBC's coach prep'd them to slush off and take it away from her, if you don't keep the other team honest they will take advantage. Then the coach doesn’t call a timeout when Forster is on the floor and in trouble, so Forster picks up a foul!
Runs a play at the end of the game and Stokes turns it over, then doesn’t have another play and runs the same play. Of course UMBC is going to get a jump on blocking the shot, it’s the same play. That’s just bad coaching. Whoever said we got the wrong coach was right! D!
Oh I forgot why are we fouling with so much time left at the end, play good D there’s lots of time, we weren't playing some offensive juggernaut of a team…We couldn't believe all these mistakes happened in one game at the D1 level. It wasn't the girls who lost this game game!
I originally dropped in to the thread, said I had the coach at a "D+", and then went away without posting any rationale.
With that said, I have never said we have the wrong coach...I will wait for a few years before making up my mind on that.
Still, I am not very encouraged by the early returns. Maybe I will do a cost benefit analysis at some point, but that would only be to defend my argument, and there's only so much energy I want to spend ruminating on this program...

Women deal New Hampshire their first league loss, lead wire to wire for a 64-55 win. Sends a message they're not quite ready to give up the crown yet.
And with tonight's win I am thinking of upgrading Coach Mac's first-year grade from a D+ to a C-.
Still, with 24 more TOs tonight, I might keep her at a D+.

Did you guys see the Mich State recruit who couldn't send in his LOI today because he committed armed (gun) burglary and was in prison and couldn't get to the fax machine.
OMG.
MSU will not be accepting him (tough choice, I'm sure).
lol.
I think there is an NCAA bylaw that automatically downgrades you to "Preferred Walk-On" if you are serving time for armed robbery.

We also need to wait to see who signs late, who leaves... Last Spring, they had the LB from Wyoming - Mark S. had an article about how he could make an immediate impact then he disappeared. Also, last year after national signing day, Rodgers, Nick Dillon and Abner Logan signed. A few years ago Jamal Merritt showed up for fall camp... i guess the staff looks at how everyone looks during spring practice and then goes out to fill in gaps.
You also need to wait for the BCS felonies to sort themselves out.

Also, Samari Springs, CB
Son of Shawn Springs, formerly of the Redskins (Can I say that name or is it a social faux pas?)
He's out. Flipped to Richmond.
Not cool.

That's true. Not a big deal, can dontate them back to the alumni association.FREEE! Wow, can't even give these away!
You're just on a forum where most of us (probably vast vast majority) have season tickets lol. You should try the UA Athletics FB page or something...
Check those PMs!

As much as we're all clamoring for a QB, any Frosh QB is going to be FAR behind Brunson. Let's also be honest and remember that Brunson looked a hell of a lot better than Sussman towards the end of the season. Let's hope he grows into his role. . He was a TRUE frosh last year.
THIS...over, and over, and over.
Short of signing some BCS transfer stud (which I highly doubt is going to happen), this year I would personally take a shake-up of the coaching staff over a new quarterback recruit.
