MyBB WBB: Lady Dukes return to action tonight (Tue, 7pm, MadiZone)
Good Gals host Delaware State. Dukes' RPI is now in the 60's. Won't get much strength of schedule help in the formulae, though early games against Maryland should help some.

Last game seems so long ago (win over UCF in Charlottesville 16 days ago). Relatively close road wins at Villanova (4-5) and Georgetown (2-8) don't look as impressive now, though glad of course we got the W's.

Delaware State is 4-6 on the season (2 wins vs D3). They went 7-21 last year (2 wins vs D3 opponents). The Dukes defeated them in Dover last year by 46 points. They are coming off a 16-pt road loss at Longwood 2 days ago.

Good Gals travel to George Washington (6-4) Friday night before getting 9 days off and hosting Robert Morris on the 29th in the last game before the CAA schedule cranks up.

I expect a blowout tonight, though we may show some rust having been off for 2+ weeks and coming off exams.

Fun game last night as Dukes win 83-64. The team started off a bit rusty as I had anticipated and Delaware State is a much better team than it was last year. Kamiah came to play and scored 29 points. Jackie added 17 (most of them in the second half), Lexie added 12 and Kayla had a double-double. Good crowd and a small but very enthusiastic Pep Band added to the fun. Ladies head to George Washington Friday night and then will be off for a short Christmas break. Nuggets for dinner tonight!

Mark your calendars for Sunday December 29 when Robert Morris comes to town. The Crown Club will be sponsoring a soup and sandwich reception for the team after the game - all are welcome to attend.

Not a huge deal, but just a question...

...I haven't watched very many MadiZone/Flo home hoops broadcasts this season. Has the lack of keeping up with the score on the telecasts been a problem this year? The score appeared to be stuck on 39-30 for a very long time while at least 2 minutes went by with the Dukes hitting 3 after 3 after 3 early in the 2nd half (and the score never updating). May be just a 1 time glitch???

Just curious.

It was a fun game, and though I did think the ladies were a bit rusty to start with, they soon cranked up and were off to the races. DSU was out-heighted badly, with all their height sitting on the bench (were the red sweatshirts indicative? I couldn't make head or tail out of that, but that height would have helped them certainly), but they sure were speedy and had some excellent long-range bombers. I think their coach is excellent too. However, they couldn't stop Kamiah or Kayla....or Lexie or Kiki, come to that! I felt like the turning point was in the second quarter when Coach put Carodine in. She's a nice spark off the bench--it seems like even if she doesn't score much, she makes things happen and does good things for the people around her. She reminds me of something Pat Summitt said about one of her players--"When you put her in a game, ten things can happen. Nine of them are good."

I'm not on Facebook much so I don't see the press conferences or whatever and I am wondering a couple of things. Where has Ashley Perez gone? I see we have a new AC, what happened? And has Casey Irvine left the team? I noticed she was among the missing last night. Also Maddie looked distinctly under the weather. And what is the deal with Eleanore, anyway? The highly touted recruit who was invited to try out for Team Canada almost never plays. We were wondering if Coach was holding her back with the idea of redshirting her (she's had almost few enough minutes for that) or in case someone got hurt, or what. I would not be surprised to see her leave if she doesn't get more playing time, as Tori Harris did. She could go back to Canada and play immediately, I think.

I think Jaylin has shown the most improvement from last year to this year of anyone on the team. I love watching her energy and she can rattle an opposing team with the best of them. Her birthday was yesterday so I was glad to see her play well to celebrate.

Ashley Perez left the program just before the season ended to take a position with a non-profit organization that works with girls and young women. While the timing was not the best, this is her passion and was an opportunity she could not pass up.

Not sure about Casey but I saw her mother at the game last night so I assume she is still on the team and may have just been ill.

Saw Casey in sweats under the basket during warmups at last nights game. She has been in sweats the last three or four game, do not know what the situation is. Injury? Do not know.

I didn't see Casey from where I was which was why I asked. I know she is having a difficult time with post-concussion issues. That is something that is hard to recover from and was one of the problems my son struggled with along with his PTSD. Hopefully hers is resolved soon, but perhaps a medical redshirt might be wise.

As for Ashley, we will miss her greatly but wish her the best. JMU will be the worse without her spirit; no one can ever take her place, but the girls and women she works with will benefit from it.
