Not having Kennedy Harris available finally cost us big time. When we played Davidson earlier this year at EBA, Harris had 29 points (on 9-14 shooting) and 5 assists. It's only our second double-digit loss of the year (UMd was the other and it was 10 pts after having the lead after 3 periods).

Doesn't look like it affected us too much of you believe this morning updated bracketology... but who knows

Morning disco:

"The past two days are a perfect example of why there has been little movement in and out of the field. The list of teams with a legitimate claim to a spot was already shorter than typical; then, those just on the outside looking in (Saint Joseph's, Colorado, George Mason) lost. Which is why Virginia Tech can absorb a home loss to Stanford -- the Hokies' third setback in three games -- and remain a bubble team. And there hasn't been a team that has been playing better right now, or that has a better résumé or a solid recent win to take the spot Virginia Tech left vulnerable. So, the situation now leaves the door open for bid stealers that don't have a truly tournament-worthy case. Consider UNLV, Columbia, James Madison, Fairfield: In most years, these teams would have no chance of making the NCAA tournament without their conference's automatic bid. This is not most years on the bubble."

St. Joseph's (3rd) first four out
Mason (5th) next four out

Women's Bracketology: Will Princeton or Virginia Tech get the last at-large bid? Tigers get the nod

With Princeton fighting for an at-large bid, could the Ivy League have three teams in the NCAA tournament for the first time?

GMU at #2
but with 4 losses to #1, #3 and #4
not a good look

 

[jessej]

my math may be wrong but
Davidson and St. Joes both play Richmond in the final 2 games
both of those 2 win their final 2 games, as does GMU
and we drop to a 4 seed

Bleach. We're stumbling at a bad time.

Remember when GW had a very good women's basketball program - https://whoopdirt.com/mccombs-steps-down-as-womens-basketball-coach-at-george-washington/

"Caroline McCombs has stepped down as head coach of GW women’s basketball, Director of Athletics Michael Lipitz announced today. Assistant Coach Doug Novak will serve as interim head coach for the duration of this season."

"McCombs concludes her tenure with a 55-65 (.458) overall record, including a 23-42 (.354) mark in conference play."

'GW women’s basketball has a proud tradition of excellence, including 18 NCAA Tournament appearances and 23 combined Atlantic 10 regular season and tournament titles,' said Lipitz. 'We are committed to returning the program to the top of the A-10 Conference and to national prominence.'

GW will immediately begin a national search for its next head coach."

This is all assuming Mason wins on Saturday vs Duquesne. If Mason loses, we are almost certainly the 4 seed.

If SJU and Davidson win out (they each have 2 games remaining), we are the 4 seed.

We need SJU and Davidson to each lose 1 of their 2 games for us to finish ahead of each of them (and both play Richmond).

SJU owns tie breaker vs us and Davidson in a 2 or 3 team tie, because they are 3-0. So they control.

We currently have tiebreaker over Davidson via their loss to SLU. We split with them, so 2 team tiebreak with them is decided by H2H winning percentage vs highest ranked common opponents. Currently we have the same .000 or 1.000 win % vs every other team except SLU, but if they beat Richmond, they will be .500 vs them and thus win the tiebreak as the tiebreaker criteria would not make it all the way down to % vs SLU.

If Davidson beats Richmond but loses other game, Richmond win for them won't matter since we will have better conference record.

So. Just win.

That wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. We came damn close to beating Richmond. We split with Davidson and I like our chances against them with a healthy Harris (despite their 3 point defense). I think St. Joes is just a bad matchup for us for whatever reason so having to play them before the finals is not good.

I agree, the size SJU has seems to really give us fits (and their forwards can shoot from 3)

Richmond over Davidson
Dayton over St. Joes

Wow - didn’t expect that to happen! Women beat Duquesne at home in a game they will be heavily favored and they will be the 2 seed!

Rumor is there is going to be a BIG crowd for that game
