Women's Basketball!

Tournament starts tonight against a good Detroit team. Hopefully the community can come out and support the ladies!

Yes, we split the regular season ...losing at home. We need all the fan help we can get for some revenge.

It looks like they already qualified for a tournament. I wonder if the WNIT is is still in play with a win over UDM.

Hard to say ...finishing tied for 3rd. In the eyes of a tourney ...that is finishing tied for 4th. In 2013, we finished second behind UWGB in regular season and split with them. We were the #2 seed in the HL tourney, winning 1 game ...this year we are the #4 seed and were virtually non-competitive against UWGB. So ...ladies you need to win it all!

GO GUINS!!!

Depends on who gets into NCAA tournament and who the autobids for WNIT are. Basically, though, the YSU RPI right now is 77, which puts them on the bubble for an at-large WNIT birth. The problem is whether the WNIT selection committee would allow them to leapfrog 3rd place Cleveland State, which in terms of record and ranking is lower than YSU.

I was puzzled in tonight's game against Detroit why the YSU offense frequently did not have someone setting up in the post, especially in the second half when Walker was out of the lineup.  I thought the pass to the post was essential to the Barnes' offensive philosophy.

I thought it was well balanced solid W.... Now, time to get revenge on the UWGB!

As for the Tournaments, Barnes said that the team has already qualified for the WBI. Hopefully the WNIT could be in store. But let's focus on GB!

Well we won by 18 so let's just be happy. Defense is the essential element of Barnes coaching philosophy and they did a great job last night.

I'm very happy we have GB and not Wright State. Despite destroying us twice this year, we had our absolute worst offensive performances each time. We always have open three's vs them. It is essential we knock them down and then we have a shot.

Any predictions for tonight??? LETS GO LADIES!

[IAA Fan]

2 for the last 10. UWGB is shooting poorly as well, we could have made a major dent in their lead.

[IAA Fan]

We are into the bonus!!

[ysufan0505]

Just wilted under pressure.... Benjamin can't be taking those kind of shots late in the game like this.... Oh well, great season ladies!!! Hoping for a WNIT bid with 21 wins this year!

[ValleyTalk]

Incredible second half. Our defense just suffocated UWGB during that comeback. Unfortunately we couldn't get over that hump, but you have to admire the poise/composure of our freshmen in that second half. Feel very confident if we get into WBI, this team can make some noise. Team grew up tonight in a big way, let's just hope they get a few more games to grow.

@YSUPepBandMemb: NO TRAVEL. YSU 54 GB 63. Have a great weekend and be safe. Stay tuned for post season tourney Info. We'll likely host a game Tue or Wed.
