Hopefully I did the title of this thread right.  Both teams come in at 5-0 in AE.  Hopefully a decent crowd shows up.....the lack on interest on here doesn't fill me with hope.

Our women draw pretty well.  The Thursday games don't draw as well as Saturday. It's a very important game. I hope the students come out.

Sounds like this one won't even be close.

I expect this game to be a nail biter to the end.

How close was this game .... the final minute of play took approximately 20 minutes actual time to play out.

I watched the whole thing and it was definitely contested in the fourth quarter. I can’t recall ever seeing so many “let’s go to the replay” moments in a game, let alone in the final minute. On the other hand, it was a real duel at the end between two good teams and two top notch coaches. That part was a pleasure to watch. Thankfully Deja Evan’s was back in the lineup or they might not have pulled this one out. With both her and Cooper on the floor with Helene’s calm experience and the troop of talented guards they are a tough match up for any team in the AE. Sarah K played all 40 minutes!

The last 1:12 took 22 minutes, and I counted four video reviews, three timeouts, and seven fouls.

Ironic that the NCAA went to quarters and changed the foul shot bonus to try to speed up the game, then added the "timeout-advance to mid-court" to ensure the final minute takes forever.
