Massey has HC as a 16 point favorite (68-52) with an 82% chance for the win.

Hopefully, more accurate than the URI game Classic trap game - come out hard and get up early.

Definitely a classic trap game. But Brown is a very bad team. I don't expect HC to lose even with some sort of let down.
Interesting note: Brown senior Ashley Ducharme is the sister of Caroline Ducharme....UCONN's highly touted wbb frosh.

One example: Brown lost to Vermont 79-46 in a tournament. The next day, Bucknell played Vermont and won 68-53. Brown also lost to Fairfield and Sacred Heart by 24+ points. HC should win by 20+.

Remember, Brown didn't play last year and therefore the freshmen and sophomores haven't played college basketball until a month ago. Coach is a rookie too in terms of coaching Brown (hired pre-pandemic, from Merrimack).
Plus they weren't good in 2019-20, 8-19; Sarah Behn and the school then parted ways (a domestic squabble with her ex-husband couldn't have helped in that regard as well).

So, you are saying that the Brown women basketball program have as many reasons to be playing poorly as the Holy Cross men's team? Gotcha.

More: Brown had no basketball last year and Brown Coach has players recruited by the previous coach. Less: Brown Coach has nine years of previous head coaching experience and Brown is able to offer recruits an Ivy League education and degree.

Finally a new HC video replacing the one that is eight years old.
No more violin.

Woof that was an ugly 1st quarter. Little momentum built at the end. Would love to know what is going on with McCormack as she is clearly a difference maker on the court - or in this case not on the court.

Bad news. End of 1st quarter, Brown up 19-10. HC has I believe 7 turnovers and can't hit anything and Brown getting most rebounds.
The good news: those corners at the Hart that were exposed now also have electronic scoreboards.
The ladies looked better the last minute or so but looked totally out of sync early on. Brown does not look like a bad team at all.

Avery shoots 92% from the stripe. She disagrees with Allen Iverson on the value of practice.

As the announcer said (and confirmed below), Brown has 9 players over 6'0" tall. They are very tall as we mostly put 5'10"-11" players against them. We have the experience, they have the height and, as they say, you can't teach height. brownbears.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster

Great competitive game. Brown Coach is the all time winningest at Merrimack. BPC always in the right place!

The broadcast quality of the Women’s game today is a day and night comparison from yesterday’s Men’s game at LaSalle.
Tight transitions between commercials, as it should be, a similar well as not having a clown of an announcer shouting Pow on the three point shots.

Crunch time. I'm betting on HC. If I bet real money I'd be walking around in a barrel and suspenders.🙂 Good effort by Crusaders against a Brown team waiting to break out. Need to improve free throw shooting. Hope Ezemma and McCormack can get back by at least league play.
