Rough loss at home for the Women's team last night, as we lost to Charleston, 72-63. That puts us in last place, as the Cougars improve to 2-11 and we fall to 1-11.

Weird game too. Not a single foul was called until 1:08 left in the first half. It was easily the fastest half of basketball I've ever seen in Trask Coliseum, for either the Men or Women. Both teams took a lot of 3's, so there weren't many legitimate opportunities for players to draw fouls, but even then, it was really amazing. Also, Charleston's Tanisha Brown finished 1 assist away from a triple-double, with 15 points, 15 boards, 9 assists and 3 blocks.

But as I mentioned in my previous post, help is on the way. Shrita Parker, a 5-7 Senior guard, averaged 12.1 points per game as a Junior at Rutgers and looks like the best of the incoming trio. Ashli Jeune, the other Rutgers transfer, redshirted two seasons due to injuries and is a bit of an unknown. She's a 5-10 guard. And Gigi Smith from ODU is also 5-10, and averaged a modest 5.9 ppg under Coach Barefoot in her 2 years there.

Also joining those three transfers on the sidelines is a relatively recent newcomer who isn't showing up on the roster yet. She's a tall forward that the coaching staff evidently found playing ball on campus. She'll be a walk-on that is eligible next season as well.
