the season actually started today!

[seacatfan]

Quite a few games postponed or cancelled, but a handful were actually played. I know GU didn't play so some of you aren't interested. I won't run thru all the results. There are several WCC teams playing. Portland is about to beat Seattle U., LMU got smacked by USC by 30 points. BYU is playing LSU on Friday, who should be decent, and Washington on Saturday who will probably be terrible.

Thanks SeaCat.

So far today, every team ranked above the Lady Zags has won easily with the closest game being 16 points (Texas A&M over Lamar). The lady zags Monday opponent, South Carolina won today by a score of 119 to 38 over Charleston. Stanford won 108 - 40 over Cal Poly. Baylor, UCLA and Ohio State are top-25 ranked teams still having to play tonight.

For those fans of Washington State HS Wbb, Hailey Van Lith of Cashmere did start for the 5th ranked Louisville Cardinals and had a pretty good stat line for her first D-1 collegiate game. She played 28 minutes (2nd most of the starters), going 6-12 (50%) from the field resulting in 13 points. She gathered 8 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist and 1 block with 2 turnovers.

For the WCC Crowd:

LMU gets bounced by 30 by USC 85-55.
Portland needed a big 4th quarter to pull away from Seattle U to win 82-70.
USF is coming back in the 4th quarter and is trying to make a game of it. USF is trailing UC Davis 63-62 with just over 8:00 minutes to go in the 4th.
St. Marys vs VCU starts at 6:30 tonight.
Santa Clara vs CSU Bakersfield has been canceled.
Pepperdine vs CSU Northridge has been canceled.

Stanford won decisively, but not quite by that margin. They scored 108, not 198. Spokane's own Lexie Hull led them w/ 19 and went 4-5 behind the arc.


The really bad news for LMU is that USC's best player (Pili) didn't even play today, Trojans only had 7 available players apparently?

Now you want me to spell check my work?!?!

USF falls to UC Davis 82-75.

The good news for LMU is that three of our best players (Aquira DeCosta, Chelsey Gipson and Jasmine Jones) did not suit up for various reasons but should be ready to go by the time conference play starts. We were (very) short as well.

Looking forward to another fun season of women's college basketball.

Ah, that more than offsets USC's players being out. Sorry I didn't pick up on that. Best wishes getting all your players back on the floor.

Your friends Missouri St. walloped Florida-Gulf Coast today. I don't know about this year, normally that would be a matchup of a couple of top mid majors. 74-49 final.

Welcome back Keith.

I'll give my wishes and prayers for Chelsey's health.

BYU beat LSU fairly handily. Sounds like Gonzalez had a good game in her return after missing all of last season.

SMC lost to Stephen F. Austin to fall to 0-2.

Thanks Zag fans. You folks were so great our last trip out. I wish we were coming out again this year. We've kinda made it an annual trip for us staying with the same Airbnb host, David in the beautiful city of Spokane, WA.

Chels unfortunately has been plagued by (rather serious) injuries for a lot of her college career but she's doing really well now and looking forward to pulling it all together for her senior year.

Wishing all your ladies health and safety as they hit the road.

Yes, Gonzales had quite the game. 30 points on 11-14 overall and 6-7 from 3, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. On the debit side of the ledger she had 10 turnovers. You have to put someone in her face or she will kill you.

Paisley Johnson-Harding scored 13 points and was the only other BYU player in double figures. What was interesting was that Johnson-Harding did not start but ended up playing 34 minutes while Gonzales played all 40 minutes and Gustin played 38 minutes. You think if you were winning by 16, you would take the opportunity to play some of your second string players to get them some experience and reduce the potential for injury for your stars.

Hamson only played 10 minutes and somehow earned 4 personal fouls.

You think LSU could have figured out who was kicking their behind and made somebody else beat you.

Any win by a WCC team over a P-5 conference team makes for a good day.

[seacatfan]

Yeah, I understated Gonzales' performance. That's much better than "good."

BYU gets another shot at a P5 team today in Washington, I fully expect the Cougs to win.

[seacatfan]

Um...anyone hoping for Oregon to crash and burn after Ionescu, Hebard and Sabally left may be sorely disappointed. It's only Seattle U., but the Ducks are just annihilating them. Put up 71 points at halftime. Length, depth, lots of interchangeable parts.
