Last Saturday (Bucknell game), they would have lost to anyone in the league; game before that they were lucky to beat last place Loyola....BU perhaps played 12-14 good minutes and the rest was on a Bucknell level.
So, let's not count our chickens....

LS Avery coffee mug off to a good lucky charm start, 8-2.

8-2 start on senior day as Demski and Labarbera drain threes. Let's keep a lid on Coleman and start another winning streak.
Demski has played in every game the last two seasons. What a badge of courage.

Avery schools Coleman by drawing a charge. Coleman responds with a Trey. Navy can't miss. 14-10 Sailors.
18-13 Navy at end of first quarter. Petro over ran her own layup, team might be amped up on Senior Day.

30-26 Navy at the half. Made up a point in a sloppy quarter. Timely threes are keeping HC in it as when they work for good shots the ball seems to go into the cylinder and back out again. Passing needs to be tightened up. Good crowd today.

Really sloppy half by HC but somehow still in it, down 30-26 AL is ice cold - others missing numerous shots around the basket Jennifer Coleman is a smooth character with the ball and might be the choice for Player of the Year (AL's shooting pct is just too low IMO)

down 49-47 less than 5 mins left - Ezemma 0 of 6 from the field (1 pt) - Avery 1 of 10 from the field (3 pts) what the heck is going on ?

AL generates five points from a pretty assist and Trey. HC goes up by four. Navy unable to respond. Avery ices it with free throws. Double Double in hand, but Coleman fires a three to bring Navy within four with 14 seconds left. Cara ices it for good at the line. 63-57 in front of raucous Senior Day crowd.

Got the win which is what matters most. But what is the deal with the sluggish play for all these noon games? Sort of out-talented Navy today. But a win is a win.

If you are watching on NBC Sports Boston, stay tuned because a tribute to Tom Heinsohn came on right after the game. Commentary from Heinsohn, Satch Sanders, Dave Cowens, etc. It's excellent. Now Cooz is commenting.

She had some assists when the defense collapsed on her. She has the potential to rewrite the PL record book before she's done. Wouldn't mind seeing her in the PLT as a BB fan and because Navy has brought their stellar pep band for road PLT games, not because I think Navy is a pushover. Speaking of bands, it's too bad the HC band wasn't there to support the seniors on their day. Don't know if that is a Covid precaution or if the band is in hibernation until next year.

Yes, Avery will be using her extra Covid year of eligibility as a graduate student at a so far unknown but very lucky fine Institution other than HC, because HC doesn't have grad school. The junior listing is an HC athletic dept. glitch I believe.

I heard that too but a double major could take the place of a graduate degree. I can always hope.

HC 12 of 13 from the line compared to two made free throws by Navy. HC won by six.

Nice win by the ladies. Last few wins (other than AWP) have been real grind it out blue collar victories. Demski may have played her best game of the year - career minutes (29) I think. I wonder if Ezemma has some nagging injury, definitely out of sorts on offense, threw up some wild shots underneath but did play some good defense. Next 2 games I'd normally say should be wins vs Army & Colgate, but with all the upsets lately, can't take anything for granted. Strength of this team is their excellent team defense

Strength of this team is their excellent team defense That is almost always the result of strong coaching. I cannot think of a solid defensive team that did not have a superior coach.

FADMB stock is rising in the aftermarket as M&W BB led by his hires are a combined 18-12 in the PL so far this season.
