Hmm. Silvey getting her left hip worked on here just before the 2nd half start.

How do you get away with two charges on the same play? When there are Valley refs involved, that's how! Don't know if they were charges but it sure looked weird.
(Wow! Haven't complained about refs in a couple of games!)

Questions for someone who knows women's basketball more than I.....
Southern's NET ranking is 68 right now. Could they still get into the NCAA tournament without winning the MVC Tournament?
Does the regular season champ get an automatic bid to the Women's NIT, just like conference winners do in the Men's NIT?
Scroll on down (or take the jump) to the MVC...

With that high of a NET...I doubt it. Especially since the women's bracketology has us as a 14 seed as an automatic qualifier. We'd probably have to be in the MoSt range (#39 NET who's a 10 seed at that number) to get a sniff at that.
Yes, on the Women's NIT.

There is very little doubt that Abby will win POY. Thought JuJu of ILS was her primary competition but not now with ILS out of race. Jackson of MSU, the other contender, was not a starter at beginning of year and in the last couple of weeks has begun playing at an incredibly high level with young posts behind her also really stepping it up. MSU's new post who made her college debut against SIU is big and strong and a real problem for Gabby to score against. Seems like MSU has problem stopping Abby though Important to secure the 1 seed as Drake looks like they will probably end up as a 7 seed. I do think SIU has a slim chance to get an at-large if they win out and lose to MSU in MVC tourney. Safest to win the tournament. Defensive POY will likely be Calip or Q.
Holy cow. Drake is pummeling the Redbirds in Des Moines. 56-27 at HALFTIME!
