WBB Final Weekend at the Convo 2/28 and 3/1 2020
The Lady Dukes final two regular season home games at the Convo will be Friday 2/28/20 vs Drexel and Sunday 3/1/20 against Delaware which is also Senior Day. Am hoping for some great crowds for both games especially the Friday night game against Drexel for some payback.

Was listening to Coach O at O'Neils this past Monday and he mentioned that they expect Tamera Young and Dawn Evans to be in attendance for the weekend series. Do not know when each will be there but it will be great to see two of the all time great Lady Dukes back in Harrisonburg for the Convo's swan song.

Looking forward to the new AUB but will admit that I will miss the Convo. It is a dump but it is our dump and a great home court advantage.

Go Dukes!!

Brian

The big question is will Brian be able to sit by the tubas in the shiny new arena?

Probably not. Wife has indicated strongly (and you know what that means) that we are going to be getting some better view seats next season. Still hope to be close to the band though!! Will have to find a new spot to make a fool of myself I guess!!

While I hate to see the end of the season, I am so excited to see Tamara, Dawn and some others for that weekend. A big loud raucous crowd is important for the Drexel game since both teams will be on top of their play that night.

The Crown Club will be hosting a reception for the team and especially to celebrate the seniors after the game on Sunday. We are working with JMU to hopefully be able to use the Duke Club hospitality area outside the meeting room because we anticipate a much larger than normal crowd. Each of the five seniors will have a chance to speak so bring your tissues!!! All are welcome to come - we appreciate a dish or two to serve but not mandatory - and it's a great opportunity to thank these women for all they have done for the team and JMU.

We are also sponsoring a bus to Williamsburg for the game against Bill and Mary on Saturday March 7 - call the ticket office if you want to come along.

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to shoot me a private message. Hope to see many of you there at one or both of the games!

You rock! 04-rock

I think an honorary seat "beside the tubas" in the new AUBC should have you and especially your better half's names engraved in the seat back.

Just got an Email from JMU stating that former coach K. Brooks will be at the Convo for the Friday game to pull the number. Nice!!

That is fitting and fantastic. Very nice.

Speaking of Kenny, his Hokies are now a 100% lock for the NCAAT. In fact, they look more like a 6-seed. Doing very well and on a roll. Big win at Notre Dame last night. Good for him.

Class Move and both sides.

Not sure there will have been a bigger game in recent memory on Friday. Both teams sport top 50 RPI's while fighting for the top seed (and potentially at large berths). Drexel took an expected scare Friday from W&M but survived. Drexel's defense is stifling right now. We will need every bit of it if we want to pull the upset over your gals Friday. You have the clear size advantage (as always). Should be a dandy.

Sheila already pulled one. My money is on the alums present for Sunday's game will pull the number. She would have been my choice to pull the final number but what do I know??

Will the crowd be bigger for the Women's finale, or Men's Finale?

Over the last 15 years we've had a lot of talented women play at JMU. And there were a ton before that, but I did not really start following the Women's program until Kenny moved over. Tamera was my favorite. Dawn next including her story. My third would be Nikki Newman. She may have have been more competitive than any player in JMU history. I'm not sure there has been anyone who has better battled Delle Donne than Nikki.

If it's another reading day, definitely a bigger crowd Sunday for WBB

Was last Saturday a reading day?

I thought in the past they did the reading days for the two teams on the same weekend.

As Brian mentioned in the OP, it will also be Senior Day Sunday. This is a big Senior (Day) group who has won a lot. They also came in during the transition from Kenny to Sean (their first year was Sean's first year as HC). I know this group is very close and likely has a very soft spot in Sean's heart. Just hopeful they take care of business over the next 3 weeks and they get to taste the NCAAT together.

I wish he would have made the men’s final Convo game Saturday. It is only a 2 hour drive and he could have had one of his managers chauffeur while he worked on the computer.
