3 I was under the same impression that they were done because they would be under 500, but i saw on another post someone mention that they get to go to the WNIT as runner up. I’m glad the ladies get to play at least one more game. They have to work on shooting,rebounding more., and less turnovers.

Did the team know?

I guess they would. But I had no idea. I was stuck on the idea that you needed a .500 or better record. I’m glad Hawaii is playing on. But if I was on the rules committee, I would go to the next available team with a .500 or better record. That 15-16 includes a win over DII competition. So, really, according to the computer, they’re actually 14-16.

Does one of the players look out of shape to you? That would account for her disappointing season.

Agree, they played outstanding after losing Woodfolk, but they choked in the title game which was theirs. Maybe it’s better not to know there is a consolation prize waiting.

So that’s how it works.

I was trying to figure how you can get in with a sub-.500 record.

I would have been a little less tense if I knew there was a consolation prize already locked up.

I hope people don’t see this team as chokers; they really played well down the stretch. Not ugly basketball, but good basketball. There just was no answer for Morgan Bertsch in the second half.
