Should be a good test for our Lady Aces today. Belmont is 6-3 (10-10); while Evansville is 4-5 (9-8).

We started a thread at the same time. I'll try to delete mine.

This one is really painful to watch.

Thanks Lawrence and sorry about that. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I haven’t had a chance to watch any of the game and stepping out now; so probably won’t catch any of the game.
I see they are down 31-14 but remember that Belmont was the overwhelming favorite to win the MVC in preseason.

They aren't really playing badly and it should be a lot closer. |

It's easy to just say they are losing to the best team in the league when it's clear Belmont is NOT the best team in the league. You can't pick and choose which teams you expect to beat or which teams you expect to overwhelm you.
Either way, shooting under 30 pct. will never work and there is a reason why they aren't making their shots.
Chalk this one up to just having a crappy game.

If there's any silver lining they did play them even for the final 3 quarters. The dismal 1st quarter killed the game.

It's easy to just say they are losing to the best team in the league when it's clear Belmont is NOT the best team in the league… With the win Belmont is in a three way tie for third place at 7-3. Illinois State and UNI are in first and second place at 8-1 and 8-2. Belmont was the preseason favorite. Point is they were playing a good team. So as the woman continue to improve, hopefully this is a game that we are more competitive in next year. Sounds like another rocky start in one of our basketball teams. At this point it is all about improvement. They are now 9-9 with more wins than any season in the past six seasons and there are still quite a few games left. |

What a breath of fresh air from both of our basketball coaches. I hope we can get the womens team out of that cracker box and back into the Ford. I also hope Coach RSW is around for a long time. |

I don't think there is a good way to coach a team when the opponent knocks down 16 points in a row and everything from the other end is a clanker shot. The reality of the MVC is that if you want to win it, you have to play past that sort of start. Clearly these teams are pretty even otherwise. It is the full 40 that matters, not just the last 35.
