Good news is chandler came in and scored two baskets in the post......bad news she can't defend the post. Gave up more than scored. Oh well.

Last second trey by GM defeats UD 54 -51. UD tied it at 61 with v 2.4 sec left. Jayla left her player open in the corner and game set match and season.
Bye chance good by, post season good by. Jayla and Lauren cold shooting.

This team just can't play on the road. This was a team loss, no one could score.
Next game at Fordham on Wednesday

Vintage Dennis. 0-6. This team has a lot of problems. Number one is the inability to score inside. Opponents know that endless they foul LC incessantly, we don’t have much in terms of a reliable offense.

Did not see the game. Looks like a cluster mess after the first quarter. Some interesting poor stats: start with Scaife 5-19 and Dennis 0-6, then Lauren was 0-6 on threes and never got to the foul line, then our team with 5 total assists on 20 baskets and nobody with more than one assist.
Fowler with a nice game with 15 pts on 6-10 shooting, 5 rebounds and two steals. Ward had 7 pts and 7 rebounds.
As we have said before, this team has some serious talent problems, but they also have some serious execution and teamwork problems.

The only player you constantly follow is Dennis. Just for the record who else plays defense in the post. Vintage naddogg usual slamming only one player when no one stepped up their game or came close to playing up to their averages.
Our starters couldn't buy a basket but all you concentrate on is one player. For o ce in your life warcg the whole team. Your constant bashing of Dennis and no mention of the others is over the top.
BTW How'd you like Chandlers defense in the post....non existant. Basketball is played at both ends of the court.
Next time actually watch the game not just stats, you'll get a better feel for the game.

The losses at vcu, gw and today double digit leads in all but no consistency to close out. Don’t forget also 6-12 ft line. Didn’t really sound like GM won it to playing that well.

To avoid playing a home game March 5th have to win both and have Fordham lose at st. Joe and Davidson lose at VCU.

20 of 21 ft at Davidson won that game, not the case today. We played 1 qtr today then the wheels came off. Road record being 2-9 its doubtful we win at Fordham. SLU at home senior day could be nail bighter.
Looking forward to next year we only lose one true starter from this team. Bad news is we only lose one true start from this year's team. Lots of work in off season or another less than stellar season.

Barney have you seen anything that promising out of Skeens. Only seen her limited times but not impressed yet. She is the best cheerleader on the bench but not much on the court yet. Afraid her HS records don't equate to D1 skills, hope wrong but skeptical after seeing her live.

No I haven’t but I expect her to get an extended look next season. I don’t necessarily discount her chances of success because of playing at Chillicothe. She can shoot and this team badly needs offense. I’ve watched her take extra shooting two hours before each of the last two home games and she doesn’t miss of course she’s not guarded. Have to make up Lauren’s points somewhere.

Skeens has very little court awareness. Some kids pick it up with playing time, and others never. She appears to be two years away. Some kids play for small schools, like Jenna, and hit the floor running. Other kids almost never adjust to the increased size and speed. Good thing is that Skeens appears to be a gym rat, who will do whatever it takes. Maybe she will be a situational shooter next year, like Lauren started out, and that is okay. With her size, she has more upside than Lauren.

Saw every minute. Dennis is a disaster for all four years. Should be deported. Never saw a shot she didn’t like. Defense, yeah she’s great. Post player? 28% shooter! Shoots at a pace akin to LC a 1000 pt scorer. What a wasted ship. Not all her fault, bad recruiting and poor coaching discipline. Still I guess it’s better than Wilmouth. Hard to like this squad.

Miserable people love being miserable. Just look at his name, it says it as ll. He us not happy with life or himself and to make himself important he puts others down.
Why he chose Maddy is anyone's guess. Mae against foreigners. Maddy has had several double doubles this year and not a peep of praise for those who excrll.
Misery loves company so he wants others to join his club. Sad but there are people like that.
Yes dennis went 0 for 6 today as did Lauren going 0 for 6 at treys but he is okay with that.

This game wasn't lost on that last second shot. IMHOP, it was lost in the first 3 minutes of the second quarter. it was brick city with poor shot selection and at least 3 turnovers - one of which was an inexcusable 3-second violation (of which we had a couple during the game). We shoot 56% in the first quarter and 8% in the second quarter.
The offense was flowing so well in that first quarter - 21-9 lead - that I would have not touched the lineup that finished the quarter. Instead, there were some substitutions to start the second quarter and the whole flow of the game changed. When I saw that lineup come out for the second quarter, I thought "Why mess with a good thing?". Roll a few more minutes and see what happens. Perhaps I have a bit of 20-20 hindsight, but it was a thought at the moment.
This game was the counter to the Davidson game that we had no business winning. Things even out. This team is so offensively challenged because of a significant lack of athleticism.

Jayla did lose Cardano-Hillary for a split second and that's all it took. As for bringing in substitutes in the second quarter I thought the same thing but then if the same thing happens it's potentially blamed on fatigue. Bottom line, there's been no consistency all year in conference except for the Fordham game.

That game was a tough pill to swallow. 4th road game of the year that I've been fortunate to be able to attend and the 2nd quarter was absolutely brutal.. That is where the swing took place.
I need to begin posting more but you all are so brutal on here sometimes that I opt to stay away. I am not here to bash the team as they are young girls who have quite a bit to work on so there is no use in rubbing salt in the wound.
Also to those of you placing the blame on Scaife for the ending, you are wrong. Scaife was actually guarding the in bounder.. it was actually Fowler who had the responsibility of Cardano-Hillary. It looked like the play was meant for CH to run off of a screen but flared it instead in which Fowler was not expecting, you could tell. CH flaring the screen to an area without help, allowed her to get the shot off even with late contest by Scaife, who's responsibility is was not in the the first place.
Brush the board and win the next.

True, they are "young girls"....young girls on full athletic scholarship in a Div 1 program. In the spirit of gender equality which is so important these days, you can be certain that if the men's play was as atrocious as the women's has been lately...or even close to it...we would not be excusing their play as the efforts of "young boys". Indeed, the men and their coach would be crucified.
Our women and their coaches should be held to the same standard as the men. The level of play of Coach Green's team is unacceptable. Most disturbing to me is that I hear little if anything from Priders who are close, in-the-know observers suggesting that next year will be much different.

The worst thing to do is coddle them. They need to be held accountablr. Too many give out participation trophies today as if that's okay.
We have young girls and boys serving our country. Do you think anyone will tell them it's okay to just show up for duty or be held accountable for their actions. Our freedoms depend on these young girls and boys in uniform.
At age 18 I didn't get the benefit of going to college or continuing my teen years with my friends. Straight to service. The change was not easy but basic training wasn't or isn't meant to be. Life interrupted for four years 1964 to 1968.I survived and made the best of my life. Not coddled, no excuses, just deal with the hand you are dealt. Boys to men in a few short weeks.
No one is forcing these young girls or boys to take a scholarship. Their choice, and with that comes responsibities and expectations. Sometimes we meet or exceed them. Other times we may not. It's all part of learning about life. It's not always fair but only a few HS grads get such an opportunity these young girls and boys get.

As for the last play with the winning basket don't think UD was expecting that and didn't defend it. Seemed like we were guarding the post to prevent an easy basket.
Give GM credit. They didn't need a trey but probably felt it was a good option. Make it and you win, miss and it OT. Nothing to lose by going for it. Got to give the girls credit though as they came from down 6 again with seconds left to tie the game. BUT we are having too many 2nd qtrs like the one today. Some have been 4th qtr episodes.
Only seen one live game but we seem missing a floor general. Skeens I assume is not D1 ready or she'd be out there with Whitehead. We don't have the luxury of difference makes outside Jayla or Lauren. Shauna will have to come up with a miracle to make it to A10 championship game.

It's the UD Coach's responsibility to bring good players to the program; to make them even better players; and to forge a solid team that is competitive at the highest level of college play. That is what Coach Jabir did.
That doesn't appear to be happening now. Next year will be Coach Green's fourth. Absent evidence of much improved performance and program direction next year, in my opinion AD Sullivan should be looking for a new coach.

Much of it talent. A lot is coaching . Sad.

IMHOP, that is an unreasonable standard. Shauna has taken the Flyers to the NCAA tournament in her first two years. This year's team has had its disappointments. Yes, the A-10 is a very weak league this year. Still, they can play with anyone in the league. They have beaten 2 of the 3 teams above them in the standings and lost to #1 VCU by 2 in Richmond. They can also lose to just about anyone in the league. Our FG% defense is #17 in the country. Our FG% offense ranks #282. No secret where our problem lies. We shoot 56% in the first quarter against GMU - and then 8% in the second quarter. It is our shot selection and the inability of our bigs to finish inside that is just killing us. The Fordham game on Wednesday will be a major challenge.

Yes Jabir built this program to where it had never been as a D1 program. Then one swell he nearly destroyed it with disception.
His reason for leaving just weeks before season started was health and wanting to spend more time with fsmily.
Fast forward and low and behold he becomes ciach of a Denmark pro team. Did he just miraculously regain his health. And what about his family. Did he up and move them to Denmatk. All he had to do if health was the reason is take a leave of absence. Players would have stayed and not backed out of their commitment.
If truth be known he walked away from his players and program when his 3 pt specialist had to forego her carrer. UCONN was on his schedule and didn't want to face them with a depleted roster.
Then he takes coaching a Florida D1 women's team. Jabir get all the credit for building the program and the heat for walking away from the team he built just as the new season was about to start. Harsh, yes he nearly destroyed the program with the departures.
So yes it's on Green to recruit. She went the transfer route to balance the classes. So far it's a fail. Let's see what Whalen brings to the court next year with the new recruits and returnees.

You mean we HAVENT dominated the A10 in the last 6-8 years? What is this night after night thing? Night after night for almost a decade we've bulldozed opponents. I bet we have the best record in the league over that time. By a good margin. You seem to be forgetting those A10 titles, NCAA appearances, and NCAA wins. Whom else has done better? The ups have outnumbered the downs by a 10-1 margin. This year is a lost cause, but that doesnt magically erase last year or all the seasons prior. Any other program in this league would kill to have our track record in the last decade.
I know. So sad. We should just disband the program altogether at this point and perform a mercy killing. All that prior good fortune and success -- just dumb luck. Consistent and persistent dumb luck.

Deported.... Wow. Dennis may not be an Ally Mallot or a Ratterman but she sure saved our bacon a few games. You ever wonder if the players get on here and read the things you post? That could be triggering and hurtful. It's to my knowledge that the team is struggling this year, some caused amongst ourselves.. speak your opinion if you will, but be mindful of how you would feel reading something like that about yourself.

Don't know about this year, but I can confirm that for at least the three prior years, they (at least some of them) would read the board after their games.

Fast forward and low and behold he becomes ciach of a Denmark pro team. Did he just miraculously regain his health. And what about his family. Did he up and move them to Denmatk. All he had to do if health was the reason is take a leave of absence. Players would have stayed and not backed out of their commitment.
If truth be known he walked away from his players and program when his 3 pt specialist had to forego her carrer. UCONN was on his schedule and didn't want to face them with a depleted roster.
Then he takes coaching a Florida D1 women's team. Jabir get all the credit for building the program and the heat for walking away from the team he built just as the new season was about to start. Harsh, yes he nearly destroyed the program with the departures.
So yes it's on Green to recruit. She went the transfer route to balance the classes. So far it's a fail. Let's see what Whalen brings to the court next year with the new recruits and returnees.

For sure, Jabir's behavior was bizarre. I doubt if the reasons you give are correct, however. We may never know....but it sure sounds like major personal problems to me,...marital? mental?; whatever.
And Coach Green filled the gap...doing quite well with players from Jabir's team. But after three years Jabir's era disappears in the rear view mirror.
Next year will be Green's fourth. By that time it's no longer Jabir's program; it's Green's. And she was handed a vastly better situation than the one he started with. The current version of the Flyers appears to lack talent and game-sense that coaching is responsible for. And as I've mentioned, those of you watching up close are not forecasting much if anything in the way of improvement next year.
I think five years is time enough for Green. By that I mean if by next year at this time prospects for the program are not much brighter Green's fifth year should be her last. Just opinion.

I’m clearly talking about this year, this team. Without doubt performing well below the standards this program aspires too.
As to my criticism of Dennis it’s well founded. She’s been a ball hog all four years. A 6’2 player shooting often, at 28% with little interest in rebounding or ever passing the ball. Just a bad player.

Really surprised Maddog you haven't been banned or suspended for your constant hate posts. To suggest a player be deported cause she doesn't meet your requirements is just over the top suggesting the is a deeper underlying resentment possibly cause she's an aussie.

Ball hog? Really? We must be watching two different players. You know who she is, right? Tall, blonde woman...
She's only taken 95 shots this year in nearly 400 minutes, shooting .358. Better than some post players, not as good as others, and probably not as good as she should. Do I wish she shot better? Yes, particularly under the rim. Is she going to be one of UD's all-time greats? No, but in she plays solid D in the low post and is usually the only one willing to body up against an opponent's big in the paint and generally doesn't get beat. I think for what the Flyers need this year, that's going to have to be enough.

Not to mention she's had several double doubles. You know what those are Maddog it's scoring over 10 pts and grabbing more than 10 rebounds per game. I'd say that's good support for her to go along with stellar post defense.

You should send that to Doug Hauschild, the Sports Information Director.

I sent a communication - it should be changed soon, thanks for noting that. A buzzer shot is not worth 12 points!

Maddog07... How about you just keep your ignorance to yourself? If you wish do criticize, do so constructively. Say maybe what she should work on or what you would like to see her do more of. Sick of your negativity.

Ah, no.
I’m the voice of discontent. Sad to watch our once proud program implode.
What she should do is clean house. Fortunately Dennis will soon exhaust her eligibility. I think also Parkinson’s who was a complete waste of a scholarship. Unfortunately, we appear stuck with several who can’t help us compete particularly Wilmouth, Szabo, Giacone.
Green needs to make significant changes and fast. She needs to stop substituting so much. Let the few decent players work play through difficulties and try to find rhythm.

I would agree that it's sad to be glad certain athletes will be gone soon because of a perceived lack of productivity. Anyway, you can't run the players in the ground - that happened last year with a smaller available roster. Another thing, Szabo is a walk on and not on scholarship other than the one semester last year. Sad to see you saying we are "stuck" with Giacone and Wilmoth who do contribute to the team.

You do understand that Giacone has been hurt for over 2 years. This season was a building up in playing time for her. She has actually looked very good in her limited minutes. She is tall, long arms and body, can handle the ball well and can drive strongly to the basket. She plays solid defense and with more strength training this off-season will make her even better. Additionally, she was a top 100 player. I think she will be vastly improved next season.
I will hold my thoughts on Wilmoth as she has struggled this season, but expect her to bounce back.
