THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE!
Apologies for the stoppage in coverage. A couple months after starting this my wife & I found out we were expecting in Dec and that took a lot of my free time & attention outside of work.
I'm going do my best to keep up with this as the szn kicks off
The biggest mistake made for this years WBB NCAA Tourney is putting Paige and JuJu in the same bracket. Arguably two of the most popular athletes in the country rn now and you make it so only 1 can get to the Final 4?! Can someone in charge off wbb have some vision!
Evansville (D1) guard Madlena Gerke (@gerkemadlena1) is entering the transfer portal.
She averaged 4.5 points and 2.7 rebounds in 22 games with the Aces in 2023-24.
She played two games in 2024-25.
1st Round Upsets I could see happening
11 seed Murray State over 6 Iowa
12 seed Fairfield over 5 Kan State
10 seed South Dakota State over 7 OK State
13 seed Norfolk State over 4 Maryland
The more I look at it, I don’t see the Ivy getting 3 bids. I see think the final spot is between JMU, Princeton, UNLV and V-Tech. I think Iowa State should be in that group, but they’ll get rewarded for that win at K-State.
Last 4
1. Washington
2. Columbia
3. Iowa State
4. JMU

Why would Carly Thibault-DuDonis go anywhere? He’s got amazing support at Fairfield, brand new arena, she can retain her kids, and WINS!!! Why leave all that to chase these jobs that have been death sentences for good coaches? People forget happiness is the most important thing
Crushed Harvard, beat Vermont, beat us; all NCAA tournament bound. Also beat Princeton. Three Quad 2 wins.
You can ding them for having a Quad 3 & 4 loss, but I’m seeing multiple Quad 3 & 4 losses for several bubble teams
Have said NET numbers are P4 bias since day 1.Put ‘em in
What else did you want JMU do with non- conf scheduling? Should they not have played ND, NC State, and Texas? Just go schedule wins and you’ll have a higher NET.
Best wins - Ball State, @ Nova, @ Kent St., Florida (N)
Loses - @ ND @ NC State, N Arizona (N), Texas (H)
@i5runnin Or she keeps her already big paycheck and knows she’s got a great gig for however long she wants it. Also, no one said she can’t win anywhere.
Not only watch them, but look at their resume. They should be in over the 2 Ivy’s.
They beat Harvard, Princeton, & Fairfield. Won at Vermont (AE Champ).
Only loses are at Miami in OT, Fairfield x2, & to Mt. St Mary’s in OT.
Oh and they have the FOY/POY in the MAAC.
I asked Fairfield head coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis what her pitch to the NCAA Selection Committee would be to get Quinnipiac - who is now 28-4 - into the NCAA Tournament
