I thought I would take a look at the average points per shot (from the field) for our presently available players. Player . . . . . . 2pt % . . . . . . 3pt % . . . . . . PPS Paige . . . . . . . .56.4 . . . . . . . .47.1 . . . . . . . 1.23 Aaliyah . . . . . . 59.8 . . . . . . . . . 0.0 . . . ...

Caitlin Clark and Iowa will play an exhibition game against DePaul on BIG network at 3PM tomorrow (Sunday). We'll get an early look at DePaul to see how much worse they may be this year.

69 to 59. Interesting. Maybe the Tigers aren't as good this year. Maybe Columbia can win the Ivy.

107-59. Wow. Creighton must want to make sure that the selection committee doesn't forget about them.

. . . in preserving our streak of games without back to back losses. If we beat UCLA then losses to Georgia Tech and/or Louisville wouldn't break the streak. If we lose to UCLA then we would have to beat both Tech (likely) and Louisville (less likely).

Mrs. James Naismith prepares to shoot as her hubby holds the peach basket. Fortunately she was in a good mood. Had she attempted a two handed monster flush, he might have been seriously injured.

UConn is the only school to have won both the men's and women's championship in the same year. And they did it twice. This year Baylor is the most likely challenger with the men a 1 seed and the women a likely 2 seed. It's unlikely that both teams will survive to the championship game, but it's...

Lost to Omaha 52 - 40 in the Summit League Quarterfinals. That's going to be bad news for one of the bubble teams.

. . . was beaten by B.C. 88 - 38. We should have scheduled Tufts or Amherst to get a better game.

7PM (EDT) 1996 v. Brazil 8:30PM (EDT) 2000 v. Australia 10PM (EDT) 2004 v. Australia Midnight (EDT) 2016 v. Spain

when 0 - 10 CCSU meets up with 0 - 11 Hartford this afternoon. I'm rooting for Morgan Valley's Hawks.

when Carla Berube's Princeton Tigers (7-1) take on Morgan Valley's Hartford Hawks (0-9) on Tuesday evening. Rough start for the Hawks. Doesn't figure to be a competitive game.

are on NESN tonight at 7 PM. Playing at home against Lafayette (the worst team in the league). No ranked teams playing tonight, so you might as well give the Terriers a look-see. They're currently tied for third in the Patriot league.

NESN will broadcast the BU vrs Brown game at 7PM tonight (Monday).

I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere. Mitchell and Mavunga had 28 each. Four of the OSU starters played 29 or more minutes. We play Ashland on Sunday. They're defending D2 champs.

Carl Ademec is reporting that UConn will open with Stanford instead of Ohio State. The Buckeyes will play Louisville instead (previously Stanford was scheduled to play Louisville). I think the cardinal will be a tougher opponent. I'm not good at posting links, but it's on the SNY website.

For the basketball starved, the Big East co-leaders (both 8-1) square off on FS1 at 8PM. DePaul beat Creighton at DePaul earlier this year. This one is at Creighton. Should be a competitive game.

Apparently it was no fluke. They won every quarter. Maybe they'll be ranked by the time we play them.

in the D3 preseason poll. Amherst is No. 2. Thomas More's D1 ringer has graduated, so they have dropped down to No. 4 (but still had more first place votes than Tufts). Maybe this will be the year that the Jumbos win it all.

I'm surprised that none of the golf enthusiasts on this board has had anything to say about the riveting duel between Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson during yesterday's final round of the Open. Phil shot a bogey free 65 and still lost when Stenson carded 10 birdies on his way to a 63. Phil...

If I am reading the women's basketball schedule correctly, then: IF both the USA and Australia win their groups THEN they can not meet before the championship game. This is an improvement over the previous worlds (and I think the previous olympics) when the two best teams in the world met in...

A number of posters have sung the praises of Napheesa Collier, and with good reason IMO. On a PER MINUTE basis here are the team leaders in rebounds and blocks: ----------------OR------DR-------TOT-------Blocks Natalie------.130-----.206-------.336--------.063...

Carla's Tufts team will face undefeated and no. 1 ranked Thomas More in the semifinals on Friday. Good luck Carla.

Rachel Banham outscored Aerial Powers 52 to 40, but the Spartans beat the Gophers 114 to 106. Or you could have watched Tennessee struggle again. This time against a less than mediocre LSU team.

That gets three AAC teams into the dance (according to Cream). If his brackets were the real ones, I would judge that South Carolina has the toughest path to the final four, and maybe Notre Dame the easiest.

Here are a few things. They've played four cupcakes and won all four by an average margin of 47 points. They have a very good freshman, Jessica Shepard, a 6'4" C/F who is averaging 23.3 pts and 9.8 boards against the aforementioned cupcakes. It will be interesting to see how Geno plans to deal...

FIBA Americas Women's competition begins today. (Sunday 9 Aug) None of the games appear to be listed on ESPN3. Does anyone know if the games will be streamed elsewhere? Rooting for Kia.

Tulsa 78 - 72 over Missouri State . . . . Eastern Michigan next Temple 67 - 54 over Marist . . . . Penn is next ECU 74 - 52 over Radford . . . . N.C. State is next I should note that the Temple game is at Penn. Temple lost by 2 at Penn during the regular season. Good time for payback.

ASU squeaks by Stanford 53-52 and thereby sweeps the season series Washington tops Oregon State 76-67. Go figure! St. John's gave us a pretty good game, but last night, playing at home, they lost by 25 to Creighton - a team we beat by 36. What's going on with St. John's? They're now 6-5 in...

UConn fans may recall that during the 2004 run to the national championship we faced a tough challange from a ranked UCSB team in the sweet 16 game. Well, that was then. Today Santa Barbara is 0-18 on the season. The good news is that they have two shots left against a lousy (3-17) Irvine...

Only a four point lead at halftime. What is going on with the Cardinal? With every new Stanford struggle, UConn's loss becomes ever more mystifying.

I wonder if Warde Manuel (Michigan Alum) will be throwing his hat in that ring.

G'Die Congratulations on winning the Bronze medal. With the addition of a healthy Cambage and Jackson I have to think you guys will be a handful in Rio. And maybe the guys that set up the brackets won't put you on the same side as the USA for a change. Then we can have a USA v Australia...

. . . will be broadcast at halftime of the Mystics/Fever game on Thursday, according to a Mechelle Voepel article on the ESPN website. The article says that the Sun have a 28.2% chance of getting the first pick, while Tulsa and Seattle each have a 35.9% chance. If the Sun should win the...

According to the ESPN box score there were over 17000 at MSG for the Liberty v. Dream game this afternoon. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I don't recall ever seeing anything like that number at a W game before. A number of teams flirt with the 10000 mark, and LA may have exceeded...
