I hope we have her under a long term contract or she really loves snow.

Amazing... Not all change is bad...

[UA'08]

wow

[Michigan_Dane]

We need to parlay the success to a league upgrade. That'll motivate her to want to stay and not seek greener pastures that come along with success.

That's awesome. This team has been getting some great recognition lately. Locally and now nationally. Here's the full list - http://hosted.stats.com/wcbk/tpi.asp

 

I didn't realize we were #2 in team defense...in the country.

Oh snap. Amazing---great publicity too.

Up to 8th place in the mid-majority poll (albeit 2 points/votes out of 10th): http://www.collegeinsider.com/womens-mid-major-top-25.php

 

I still want to post about how great of a game the BU game was, but other duties have called....

Nice. Huge win keeping her.

Gish in the T-U gives details, again says Will Brown's contract is close, McElroy will meet him at the end of this week.

"McElroy said expectations for the program are high, with hopes of not just appearing in the NCAA Tournament but making it to the Sweet 16 and even the Elite Eight."

Stopped short of expectations for a national championship? I like the way this is headed.

 

BTW we've offered a scholarship to Heather Forster, Julie's sister, who will be a high school junior this year.

Megan Craig and Shereesha Richards are both named to the pre-season AE team:

Only team with two honorees; pre-season poll to be announced starting at 10AM on Twittter tomorrow.

Looking at the women's roster tonight and realizing I'm not going to recognize many players on Nov. 8th. A lot of new faces this year.

 

Also, we have listed:

1 center - Megan Craig

1 forward - Shereesha Richards

 

and then the other 11 players on the roster are listed as guards or guards/forwards.

 

I am eager to see how the new 10 second rule will play out this year. If we defend the way we did last year in the full court I think there are some teams that might not score on us if they have to get the ball over half court in 10 seconds.
