Coach Abe's UCF team is on ESPNU right now in the AAC Championship, with familiar faces on her staff.

Watching that game now, in a fight with USF.  Coach Abe has brought that program up from despair and are 24-3.  Helps UConn moved back to BE.  UCF message boards love Coach Abe but are afraid she will be poached soon.  Only thing in their favor is UCF moves to Big 12 in two years so she will be in a Power 5 conference anyway.

She loves the Orlando area, makes a great wage in a tax feee State, and will be coaching in the Big 12 in two years.  Would have to be an unreal offer for her to leave.

Bring the focus of the topic back to where it should be: on Coach Mullen and the UAlbany WBB team .... from today's Times - Union: https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/UAlbany-women-s-basketball-40-minutes-away-from-16992868.php?IPID=Times-Union-UAlbany-spotlight

And they won! Coach Mac had a good year at BC too. 9-8 in conference, but lost in the first round of the ACC.

Lady Danes really showing up against Maine. Great first half so far. DeCortes could not play due to leg injury.

Looking good. Up 10 late in the 3rd quarter. Team looks poised and confident. Need to keep scoring and push. I know they have been defensively focused all year, but teams trying to hold a lead instead of building it bigger tends to make the game closer than it should be.

I have two brothers and two sons . I don't watch too much women's basketball.  Sooo different then the men.  The ball / shots bounces off the rim so oddly . So many bad misses.

Champs !!! Wonderful game by the whole team. Congratulations!!!
