HC takes the first quarter 17-16. Some real announcer talent in these two games today.  From BU "Holy Cross has came to play today." Really? Of course, they have not gotten any ref calls reversed by calling them over to see their video. |

Live stats are a quarter behind so no way to tell what is going on in any detail. Swords is playing well and she and Manis are being called the "twin towers" by the refs.

HC on an 18-4 run right now after a nice long 3 by Faulkner.

What do they say in baseball when a team doesn't play to it's potential and a change is needed? "You can't fire 25 players." is what "they" say.

I tried to watch with the Windows Edge browser and couldn't connect but then tried with Google Chrome and it connected right away. Good game. Smith has become another scoring threat for defenses to worry about.

Announcers again. They spoke about how BU was taking the third quarter after trailing by 5 at the half. HC actually outscored BU by 3 and leads BU by 8 (45-37).
They also said BU is pressing with only 6 players, but that these players never get tired. HC has used 9 players, but the game announcers said that HC is bound to get tired in the last quarter. Duh?!

Swords smothering defense caused a three second turnover.

Swords just caused a travel on BU underneath. Her wingspan is so long she provides a one person double team. BU has many close misses today. Is HC defense more effective during this win streak?

HC wins 64-61 (after missing 9 FTs was almost fatal). Nice to sweep the Turnpike Trophy in women's hops this year. Some young BU fans actually had special Beat Holy Cross for the Turnpike Trophy shirts. |

Well done. We are up to 2-7 in the race for the trophy. Spring Sports will drive the stake in.

I noticed a 3 women officiating crew. Not too many of those, there's usually at least one man. How did they do? If you saw the men's game, would you trade them even up?

Didn't even notice the refs. They must have done well. The men's game had one photogenic blonde young woman ref as I recall. She was no worse than the two men intracately studying replays. Refs don't have to do a fireman's carry to qualify so there should be no difference.

Interim coach AM is now 10-0 (that's correct, right?). Pretty impressive. If the powers that be decide that a new coach is needed, she has my vote (as a non grad supporter).

She has mine as well. Her demeanor on the sidelines seems to be a positive one for the players.

10-0 record, the McInerney Irish Step Dancers on call if needed: sold.

Went to the game yesterday, very enjoyable, nice crowd. HC still struggling on offense, but seemed to make timely baskets as needed, Ezemma continues to improve, has a great nose for the ball when rebounding, reminds me of a lot of Rocky Scott's freshmen year, a little unpolished on offense but a great rebounder. Defense was outstanding for the most part. By the way, Refs were 2 men, one woman.

Defense was outstanding for the most part. By the way, Refs were 2 men, one woman. You having been there, stat sheet must have refs listed from some other game. The kid from Medway has had quite a rookie season for BU, 13 rebounds yesterday. Not much of a shooter at the college level (at least at this point) but much more willing to do the dirty work. And she's not particularly tall for a college frontcourt player. |

Childs was impressive also, don't know how tall she actually is, but listed at 6'0, good defender & like Ezemma, seems to have a great instinct on where the ball is going when rebounding. Both players have a great future if the work on and improve their offense, need to develop a mid-range shot and think about a ball fake or 2 when going up with the ball.

We’re tied for 4th place now and only 1 game behind third place BU.
