Per the school web page --  5'8 G Raymi Coueta - From Cayenne French Guianna -  she will be a freshman -  since the school generally announces the signings in groups am presuming the recruiting is completed for the year.

Kiandra Browne -   6'2 F from Indiana (she is a Canadian)  was limited to 7 games this year due to thumb and leg injuries -  played on 22 games 2 years ago 13 minutes per game 3PPG 3RPG - 59% from the Field --  Indiana has been SERIOUSLY GOOD the last two years --  Two years of eligibility left --  Hoping she will be a solid contributor.

Welcome to the Bluff Kiandra -  By my count should be two remaining scholarships.

Hook Shot --   THANKS for posting --  I found it somewhat unusual that the two portals had such different totals as to the information --  And the first one "Raul;s" was more of a gold standard.

This one lists over 1,000 players the other one had 552 as of yesterday -   Olivia is the only one still listed in the other portal.

Here is an idea of HOW HARD in might be to keep players happy and in a program -  Stanford has 3 players in the portal -  Lauren Betts 6'7 was NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER OF THE YEAR averaged 5.9PPG and 3,5 RPG as a Frosh 9MPG  -   India Nivar PG averaged 3.2 PPG in 12 Minutes as a Freshman  Agnes Emma Nnopu averaged 3,2 and 13MPG as a Junior --   Given that Stanford had a lot of "comfortable victories"  Coach has a lot more leeway in giving bench players the playing time.

Olivia played 82 Minutes --  Aniya 71 --  Reilly 174 and Singo 25.

I had hoped that Olivia and Reilly would at some point be similar to Libby Bazelak and Amanda Kalin whom I felt were one of the top backcourts in the A-10 when both were healthy.

While I would like to lessen the workloads for Megan and Tess --  there are not a whole lot of minutes which might be avaialbe for the three players who redshirted -- the one freshman who signed and any new additions

Early in the season there was an article which stated that Olivia did not receive full clearance until a few days before practice started - she was in sweats a couple of times throughout the year -  HOWEVER by season's end she was dressed and available --  It is DISSAPOINTING when a local player who had the reputation coming in leaves the program. She has signed with Eastern Michigan.

Looks like several teams in the A-10 might have significant departures --  From Senior Day Aniya Walker was the only one honored (in addition to Snezhana)  Which leads me to believe Ayanna and Lauren are returning.
 
Some teams in the A-10 have significant departures -  and will need replacements from the Portal -  DU might have a significant ONE YEAR WINDOW -  After this year at a MINIMUM -  Precious, Amaya, Lauren and Ayana will be departing --   THIS will be a lot to replace --  Hopefully the two bigs who sat out this year (Ammons and Kulo) are a start --  with one freshman signed early -  Three scholarships are now available hoping the staff can find some suitable candidates,  Also hoping Dea Pushkoli can contribute some - but the front court needs seem more pressing.

Share the thoughts about "roller coaster season"   St Louis who got hot at the end of the year and ran the table in the A-10 tournament --  DU beat them -  had a big lead --  saw most of it evaporate but hung on -  If there was one team who I thought was "over-rated in the A-10 it was St. Louis who seemed to have little depth and would be ill-equipped for the three games in three days they needed.

Loyola who had one win in league play -  DU was bombing them at half time in the post season-  but needed a last second block to escape with a one point win --  

Indiana State is the #1 Seed --  Apparently NO ONE FROM THE A-10 made the NIT --  NOT Dayton,  NOT St Louis --  NOT Fordham.

Women beat Richmond 83-69 in a game that see-sawed back and forth -  team made some free throws at the end and Richmond went cold the last few minutes ---  Megan had 23 points 18 rebounds (These are NOT typos!!) and 8 assists --  In ALL the years I've been going to games (both men and women)  This is AS GOOD as a performance I have witnessed-   

We Came We Saw We conquered!!!!

Not only did the Guys come back -- the Women were down 30-16 after the first quarter and pulled it out 87-78

We NEED MORE days like this on the Bluff!!!

There were were 20 Responses 

St Bonnie with 26 points was the most disliked total wise --  they were also the Gold Medal Choice of 8 voters.
Richmond was second with 24 points total --  They were named on the most ballots --  11
Dayton was third with 22 points total --  They were tied with Richmond in being named on 11 ballots

Given that the team has some time off -  and based on some recent posts...Olympics Style Poll!!!

Rank the teams in the A-10 in the order you dislike them (in the spirit of goodwill I will use the term dislike as opposed to hate.

GOLD MEDAL (3 points)  goes to the Dayton Liars
SILVER MEDAL (2 points) goes to Richmond
BRONZE MEDAL (1 point) goes to St. Joe --  THIS is based primarilly on their annoying mascot who at least twice has had his feathers "forcibly removed" in Pittsburgh

Can select fewer than 3 if you chose -  ALL Gold Medals worth 3 ALL Silver Medals worth 2 ALL Bronze Medals worth 1 -  All "others receiving votes"  NO Points.

LET THE VOTING BEGIN!!!

Score is a little closer that what it looks like -- Dayton hit a pair of 3's in the final seconds.  DU had 9 players in uniform --  Townsend and Westphal were in sweats.   That 9 players includes the Walk-On.  In addition to the bulky brace on her knee during the warm ups Lauren is wearing a contraption around her waist --  I presume this is for some sort of back problem and would guess that SHE is not at 100%.

Amaya had perhaps the best game of her career 21 points 13 rebounds --  Dayton's bigs are strong but unathletic and they didn't have an answer for her - despite early foul trouble Precious had 16 points 9 rebounds --  Naelle also had 16 points.   To her Credit at 5'9 there were times last night when Reilly Sunday was basically a Power Forward.

Hats off to the Players and Staff --   11-4 is better than 10-5!!!!

Beat George Mason!!!!

 

They defeated Cornell 87-60
DU shot 63% From 3 and 60% Overall -- Held Cornell to 24% from 3 and 32% Overall
DU won the rebounding battle 41-19

Two Double Doubles --  Tess 23 pts 10 rebounds   Megan 12 points 11 assists

5 players in double figures.

Hopefully they maintain their focus get be Howard and go into the Holiday Break at 10-3.  League opener is against Rhode Island who are currently 9-1.

Per Pittsburgh Sports Now --  Halil Barre is expected to make his debut on Sunday against New Mexico State
