At least two beautiful OOB plays for easy layups tonight The one towards the end went for an uncontested layup that widened our lead. The earlier one, AL tossed it inbounds to the right of the lane, all the defense followed the ball, AL stepped to the left, all alone, got the pass and an easy layup

The seedings project a possible championship game rematch with the Terriers at the Hart. A "trilogy" as they call a third fight between the same opponents in the UFC. But it'll be a trilogy for all PLT games.
BU had two assists and 18 turnovers tonight. That can't be counted on in a third game. But an important game to win in the quarterfinals first.
No more travel until the national post season.

'The job she has done is remarkable,' Holy Cross women's basketball coach Maureen Magarity has Crusaders savoring Patriot League title Jennifer Toland
WORCESTER –— Maureen Magarity knew at a young age – around fifth or sixth grade – what she wanted to do when she grew up. She wanted to coach basketball just like her dad, Dave Magarity. Dave’s college coaching career spanned 47 years, including the final 15 as the Army women’s coach. His retirement at the end of last season afforded him the opportunity to watch proudly and like any father or former coach, anxiously, as Maureen has taken Holy Cross back to the top of the Patriot League standings in her second season with the Crusaders. For the first time since 2004-05, HC clinched at least a share of the regular-season PL title by beating Dave’s old team, Army, last Saturday, and the Crusaders faced Boston University Wednesday night at the Hart Center with the outright championship on the line. Obviously, the Crusaders wanted the crown all to themselves, and they went out and got it. Senior guard Avery LaBarbera scored 24 points and had 11 rebounds and sophomore guard Bronagh Power-Cassidy added 13 points to lead the Crusaders to a 59-48 victory over the Terriers.
The Crusaders secured the top seed for the Patriot League Tournament and will host the Navy-Colgate winner in a quarterfinal Monday as they begin their quest toward their first PL tournament title in 15 years. “I couldn’t be happier,” said Power-Cassidy after snipping her section of the net. “Our team worked so hard and believed in ourselves. It’s such an amazing feeling. I can’t even describe it right now.”
Fans filled the Hart Center bleachers and the Crusaders got an extra dose of energy from the football team, who won its own PL title in November and swarmed the women’s players after the final buzzer sounded. HC (20-9, 14-4) has won 20 games for the first time since 2013-14. The 14 PL wins is a program record. After her players, Magarity took her rightful climb up the ladder to cut down the rest of the net and swung it in jubilation before wearing it around her neck.
“I’m her father,” Dave said in a phone interview from his home in Delaware earlier this week, “but even if I was just someone who followed the league, the job she has done is remarkable. The league is so deep and talented, and she has gotten so much out of her kids and they’ve bought into everything she’s done. She’s gotten these kids playing the way she needed to.” BU beat HC, 74-56, on February 16 in Boston. The Crusaders, one of the best defensive teams in the PL, knew they would need a better effort at that end to beat the Terriers Wednesday. BU was the only league team to score more than 70 points against HC this season. “They have so many weapons and they can kill you inside and out,” Maureen said. “I thought we made a really good adjustment of finding the shooters and getting a high hand, forcing them out of the paint, and our transition defense was night and day compared to the first time we played them.”
Maureen spent four years on her father’s staff at Army before leading a resurgence at the University of New Hampshire, where she guided the Wildcats for 10 seasons. UNH’s 45 wins from 2016-18 were the most in a two-year span in program history. Maureen won the Kay Yow National Coach of the Year award in 2017. When former Holy Cross director of athletics Marcus Blossom hired Maureen in 2020, he was hoping for a similar revival at HC. The Crusaders won 19 games in 2019-20 under interim coach Ann McInerney but averaged 13 wins the previous five seasons. Under former coach Bill Gibbons, HC won 11 Patriot League championships, the last in 2007.
Maureen accepted the Holy Cross job and relocated to Central Mass. with her young daughters, Charlotte and Caroline, during the onset of the pandemic. She didn’t sit in her office at the Luth Athletic Complex or meet any of her new players in person until months later. “It was a tough time to step in there and a big move for her,” Dave said, “but she was ready for it.”
Together, Maureen, HC’s third coach in three years, her staff and the players navigated the challenges, persevered and went 7-8 during the COVID-shortened 2021 season. “She is such a solid and dynamic leader,” LaBarbera said. Maureen’s first win as Holy Cross coach came against Army in what was believed to be the first father-daughter coaching matchup in Division 1 history.
HC dropped its first two games of 2021-22 to Northeastern and Boston College, went 6-3 the rest of the way in non-conference while establishing an identity at the defensive end, and battled all league season at or near the top of the standings. LaBarbera has been tremendous and is a frontrunner for PL Player of the Year honors.
Dave has attended three Holy Cross games this season. Like on Wednesday night, he has been affixed to his iPad and the ESPN+ broadcast of all the others. Dave and Maureen’s mom, Rita, watched their granddaughters last week during school vacation while HC was at Colgate. At one point, Maureen said with a laugh, Charlotte told “Pop Pop” he would have to take the iPad down to the basement and watch if he was going to yell so much. Maureen and Dave talk regularly. “I ask him a lot of advice,” Maureen said. “He’s so great.” Maureen played one year at Boston College, then transferred to Marist, where she was a two-time captain and in 2004 helped the Red Foxes to their first NCAA Tournament appearance. Her last two seasons at Marist, she played for coach Brian Giorgis, who was also her coach at Our Lady of Lourdes High School in her hometown of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. While pursuing her master’s degree at Marist, Maureen was an assistant on Giorgis’ staff for one year. “Before that year,” Dave said, “coaching was something she thought about. The year she was on his staff, I think that solidified it in her mind.” Maureen spent a year as an assistant at Fairfield, then joined Dave’s staff at Army in 2006. “I think her experiences at Marist, Fairfield and Army set her up (to become head coach at UNH),” said Dave, who coached the Marist men’s team for 18 years, “and she’s one of those people that gets it. She understands the business because of her background and growing up around it her whole life.” HC, which has not lost back-to-back games since the start of the year, takes a four-game winning streak into the PL tourney. “Coach Magarity is so good at motivating us every day,” Power-Cassidy said. “All of our coaches are, and because of them, we are so prepared going into every game. They instill a pride and an effort in us.” BU scored the first five points Wednesday. LaBarbera sank a 3 to put HC up, 6-5, and the Crusaders did not relinquish the lead. HC led, 37-28, at halftime. “BU is a great team,” LaBarbera said. “I think we just wanted it more. I think we showed it in the first quarter and we made a statement, especially in that second quarter.” Magarity led UNH to a regular-season America East title in 2016-17. The Crusaders were happy to clinch a share of this year’s PL title after their 73-59 win at Army, but waited for the real celebration Wednesday. “To win it outright in such a strong year for the league is an amazing feeling,” Magarity said. “This team is such a strong group of young women that overcame so much adversity and they kept showing up and kept staying positive and I’m so proud to be their coach.”

Can't recall the name.

Meg was part of one of the tallest recruited classes ever. Only time I remember that every recruited player was over 6'. Kiel 6'2, Kait Foley 6'4, Brennan-McBride 6'5 & Meg 6'3. There were two rumors about her leaving, one she was very homesick, the other, she was also very unhappy about playing time. Kiel played a lot, the advantage of being a 6'2 guard. Meg was stuck behind Lisa Andrews (HOF) & Foley was favored as the backup. Meg was a super star at Marist, really was one of the primary building blocks of their run as a mid-major power. To her credit, I was always amazed how she transformed her body over the year she sat out. Foley had a similar physical transformation between her soph & jr year as was a force her last 2 seasons. The only other player that comes to mind who did the same was Rocky Scott (one of my all time favorites). MM would have been a senior the year Meg sat due to the transfer rules & would of been her coach for 1 year I think.

To me, the path looks like Colgate, Bucknell, and American then onto Ncaa tourney. Prior to that, AL collects POTY, MM gets COTY, and Cross gets DPOTY. Will complete the Cinderella season. All very doable.

Hopefully it ends better for her than it did in 2016-2017 at UNH. This team has so dramatically over performed that anything going forward is pure gravy. They will have a very difficult game in the semis whether it is Lehigh or Bucknell. I do think they should beat either Navy or Colgate rather handily.

All PLT games will be at the Hart. No PLT game will be "one and done" for HC because it has an auto bid to a national tournament.
Every opponent will be on the road and will face "one and done" pressure.
Any win from now on will still be an accomplishment, as HC doesn't have the overwhelming talent to "mail it in" against any opponent.

A side note, long time Marist coach Brian Giorgis announced this week that next season will be his last and that his associate coach will take over. He's had a remarkable run there - had hopes at one time we could rival their success as a perennial elite mid-major.
The new coach, Erin Doughty, was a teammate of Magarity at Marist..

How sweet it is to have everything all set a year in advance and pay zero for a national search firm, relocation expenses, salary buy out, etc.
HC had a similar event when Katie Lachapelle was hired and Coach Van Buskirk passed the women's hockey baton to her with a year of mentorship thrown in.
Smooth transitions don't guarantee winning teams however.
