The women are being beaten badly again. They are down 5 players. At the half miami is shooting 70% from the floor and 90% from beyond the arc 9 of 10.

FIRST HALF 14-20 9-10 11-13
70.00 % 90.00 % 84.62 %

those are some wicked stats first half stats!!!

Paradoxically, the FT% (84.6) < 3 point % (90%).

This team is as thin with talent as one will find in the MAC.

Even healthy not a strong team.

This team was going to have talent but not depth before Sweeney and Morton left.

The injuries, etc. and not, not good.

Which player quit? Was it Turney? I saw that she wasn't on the bench.

Making a tangent comment to the Zips and MBB.

I don't see how a team can shoot 90% behind the arc when I doubt they ever shoot 90% at the free throw line in a game.

Guess it is best to remember the simple term used in research: "Outlier". An extreme score which is unlike the others and unlikely to be found again. Kind of like a hole in one in golf or a 300 game in bowling.

I'll bet Luckeyone that Miami (WBB) never shoots 90% behind the arc in any other half during the rest of this season.

Amazing, but MIA shot almost 85% from the free throw line.

I think EMU must have played bad free throw defense.

Yes i haven't heard why.

I just wonder the future of this program.

We are a very thin team this year because of graduation losses, transfers, injuries, etc.

In two weeks, we'll lose Webb and Deans, as they complete their eligibility.

EMU supposedly has a very good recruiting class but ONE recruiting class is NOT enough to replenish a badly depleted roster. I have no problem being optimistic but I'm not pie in the sky, either.

If the problem was that our AD picked Castro over the assoc. HC, Finley, and players transferred because they didn't get the coach they wanted, then it is on the AD.

I do not know Finley. I had light contact (because I'm not local) with the other coaches, but not Finley. She was the experienced hand in the program (the rest of the asst coaches were young and inexperienced) and has been a recruiter during her professional career. She is a local person. Whenever a program is successful and the HC moves on, I'd think the AD would consider the assoc HC to 'move over a seat.'

I do know that Ben Braun moved over a seat and was successful. The biggest case I can cite is Dabo Swinney (Clemson FB). He was an interim coach appointed during the season and took Clemson to new heights. An even better case was Tom Izzo. He was groomed to replace Heathcoate at MSU.

All I can say is that we went from top to bottom and a have huge hole to dig out (of).

I do not know Castro but this is the worst EMU WBB team in my memory dating back to Paulette Stein (1990s). If he can get it to .500 in a year or two, #MiracleWorker

BTW, if one wants a case study of how and why HC get fired. Some might remember Paulette Stein from the early/mid 90s. Her conference record over 5 years was 13 - 78. Her conference wins were: 0, 1, 2, 5 and 5 (this is progress but oh, my...) in an 18 game schedule.

Looks like Castro will have a couple more players to sign in the spring.

Total rebuild job.

2016 - 17 was 'crash and burn'

2017 - 18 not from 'good to great' but from very bad to mediocre.

2018 - 19 mediocre to ????

After the run from Suzy to Ann Marie to Tory I never thought the program would crash and burn so suddenly...

I'm reminded of the old expression: **** happens

Lets not forget injuries. Had Ramsey had both a healthy Medlock and Bowdry for three years together we may have seen a different result for example.

What injuries with WBB are you speaking (or Super)?

Any injuries are not to key personnel. The starters having been playing (e.g., Webb, Deans, Dailey, Robinson, etc.). The problem might be depth but not front line talent.

I don't see any real difference between the lineup Saturday and the lineup back in November.

Hard to win with only 5 healthy bodies on a team.

I think Castro basically has a 7 player rotation from what I've seen.

Five are returnees (e.g., Dailey, Webb, Easley, Robinson, and Deans). Those aren't bad players.
