I also think BU is likely the most talented team in the league. Just my opinion. Lehigh a close second. I am interested to see how HC comes out tomorrow in a game they are expected to win. That can be challenging but I think Avery's leadership will keep them on course.

The Bryant roster is fascinating. Five international players and another five who live within 45 minutes from North Smithfield in RI and MA. Two players played with BBC at Marianapolis, which is a treat for her and one player from Paris, France took a similar trajectory as BBC by attending Putnam (CT) Science Academy one town away from Marianapolis, which has become one of those BB finishing schools, after HS in Paris.

Bryant plays hapless first quarter. HC was twice as bad. Bulldogs 12-6 at the break.

A little Turkey Day rust. Just need to get AL and BPC more involved in the offense.

To have HC starting with two shot clock violations and an offensive foul is brutal.

McCormack adding the needed aggressiveness

Addie Cross is in the thick of the action, a "glue" player. But she has no shooting touch while Cara McCormack does. Two buckets and an assist for Cara and we're tied at a dozen.

Demski staying out of the paint on offense. She did hit a mid range jumper. On a recent free throw she took a secondary rebounding position to the shorter Berger and Petro. Apparently her knee injuries are still limiting her, but glad to have her playing.

Pretty ugly first half BU 26-25.

Need to start McCormack coming out of the half. With AL and BPC combining for just 4 points, her presence will open things up for both of them in the 3rd. They will break out. Bryant has just 3 made FGs outside of the paint. Time to pack it in and make them prove it. That lefty post shouldn't be allowed anymore one-on-one post moves in second half.

Never get the reason to play man to man in womens hoops...make them hit just shots from the outside

Anyone with any impressions of how players on the bench look today?

Demski gets a feed underneath, puts it right back up, "and one!". She's having a bit of a break-out game.

HC 47-35 - looked better, but not much, Bryant is not very good

Bryant snake bitten. Even the pep band got a foul called on them for interference during an HC free throw attempt or something. No mask mandate in RI it appears.

Announcers admitted they had no idea how HC could get hot (after their 6 point 1st quarter). They had expected a winning score in the mid 40s or low 50s. I guess HC's 67 was really unexpected.
One announcer asked the other if the turn-around was due mostly to a collapse by Bryant or by HC "figuring it out." He said it was HC figuring things out and making adjustments in play and personnel.
