In response to Bison137
Never posted about the women's first game. Lost at Virginia, 80-64, although they only trailed by 9 points with 8 minutes left. Virginia currently is ranked 63rd in the country, so the result was no big surprise - especially with Abby Kapp playing very limited minutes. I noticed in a video last night that her knee was tightly wrapped in practice, so I am assuming that is the main issue. Hopefully nothing else.
Ellie Mack had a very good game, with 19 points (on 13 shots) and 5 boards. The other highlight was Taylor O'Brien getting 13 points off the bench in 23 minutes.
Three determining factors: (1) Bison were outrebounded 38-19 by a team that had more athleticism upfront; (2) Virginia got to the line for 28 FT's vs BU's 13 attempts; and (3) Virginia hit 55% on threes vs BU's 30%.
We will learn a lot more about the new Bison tomorrow evening when they meet Monmouth in Sojka at 6 PM.
