I will be there along with 7 other of my Indy friends. Another win will bring us one step closer to another divisional title. Also going out on a limb and predict a UT upset with weekend. UT could easily slip up on its road games at BSU and NIU and still have two tough games against EMU and CMU. This race is not over yet.

It's wishful thinking to think that Toledo is going to lose 3 of their last 4 games. The odds of that happening are at least 20-1, especially considering that their toughest opponent of that mix, Central Michigan, has to play at Toledo.

Ball State is a game they could easily lose as Muncie is a very tough place to win, but I think they pay CMU back, win the rest and finish 14-2. We had our shot at them on our home floor and we blew it. Title #7 will have to come in Cleveland.

I'll be there with 2 friends.
The only team that gets my attention is the Falcons. We can only control our "now" & let other do the same.
Mindset is one game at a time for this whole Women's Basketball group :!:
Put on your ORANGE with a hint of pink. It's their Think Pink game.
Be ready to cheer on the Falcons =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Wishful thinking or not...it can happen. EMU is a very solid club and CMU can put gobs of points on the board.

Looking forward to listening to the game on the net tomorrow. GO FALCONS!!!!

Early observations of the game. LP is arching her shots more and more as she isn't using her legs as much and her jumps are not as high. I noticed the same thing on Wednesday. Her foot must be an issue or giving her problems however she continues to play great D and doesn't look in too much pain. I would take LP at 50 percent and her amazing FT shooting and stellar D anyday.

Tracy Pontius has come out on fire!! 4 for 5 shooting, including 2 Threes and has 12 pts in the first 8 minutes.

BG 23 MU 11, just over 10 min remaining

I'm voting non stop for the Rugby team while listening to the game.

MU has chipped away at a 15 pt BG lead and at the half, BG leads 43-37. Need to step up the D.

T.P. Was gassed and took a 2 min break and Miami went on a run and kept up the run and BG ended the half sluggish.

I believe TP has 19, Steffen 9 and LP 7. We need to push the ball inside and then back out for the open shot. Just heard where UT is up by 19 pts. They clinch at least a share of the West title. If they win on Wednesday they end our streak :(

42-39 Falcons in early 2nd half....MU has closed out the Big lead and threatening to take the lead themselves..BG isn't playing well in the paint...as MU has pretty much owned it... TP still scoring, this time from the line... LP isn't shooting well at all! Jen Uhl's name was'nt mentioned for over 6 minutes in 1st half...finally seems to be getting it together...off an assist from Fr. Jill Stein, in for Maggie.

If we can get a combined 12 pts and 12 boards from Jen, Danielle, and Maggie and get Lauren healthy I like our chances in the tournament. Tracy has put together 3 straight great games. Chrissy has been consistent and Slagle gives us pure enthusiasm when she comes in.

We will be scary good if everyone can come together all at once. And I think they will. The seniors will not want the season to end.

Btw, Tracy now has 29

If we're going to win the MAC tournament, we need Tracy Pontius to be the impact player that she has so often been over her career at BG. We know LP, Jen, and the other veterans are going to give us for the most part but TP is usually either very good or nonexistent. If she's very good like she is today come postseason, I would put down serious moolah that we're going to go dancing again this year.

As the one poster said a few days ago, it comes down to the first 5-10 minutes for her, if she's hitting shots early she tends to be more confident and aggressive the rest of the game.
