Now official... Southern Utah beat CSU 71-56. Second round at Colorado , Saturday 7 PM.
iirc, it shouldn't have even been that close. Buffs should win this game and march on to the WNIT Round of 16.

Which Buffs have been hurt since then? That's my bigger concern.

Thanks. 75 points seems like a tall order this go-around, but if the game is in Boulder I will remain confident this team will fight hard for a win and move on.

Curious evaluation discrepancies.... Warren Nolan RPI has SUU at 78 and CU at 104. That would seem to be advantage SUU. But Massey ratings have CU at 69 and SUU at 111 which would seem to be advantage CU. Of course last nights CSU vs SUU game Massey had the odds at CSU 74% and SUU 26% and we know SUU won. Should make for a good game but I think Buffs can win this one and advance again.

From recollection of the first game between CU and SUU back just before conference play started, CU played as they have too much this season - they were a bit lackadaisical for much of the game and they got their act together down the stretch to pull away.
Last night in Ft. Fun SUU pummeled CSWHo on the boards - 45 to 25. They aren't going to do so tomorrow night in Boulder. CU has been fairly consistent in out rebounding opponents as well as scoring in the paint. I would expect both Roberson and Swan to have an impact in the paint as they did Wednesday night.

Women playing a good game so far. Up 7 at the half.
Buffs up 13. Arielle having a game.
Ladies dominate and advance. 3rd round of the WNIT, playing the winner of UTEP and St. Mary's
Congrats Buffs!
Especially great to see senior Rachel Hargis tie her career high in points this late in her career. Also was very solid on D as usual. Also Arielle Roberson with another double double; she has been looking better and better as the season's progressed.

I believe the answer is "yes." But the Buffs have had relatively poor attendance for their two games so far, so I wouldn't count on it. They will get the winner of the UTEP v St. Mary's game - to be played Monday night in El Paso. UTEP beat Arkansas State on Friday night in El Paso with 4500 in attendance.
As for CU's play last night, like many games this season they didn't play well for 40 minutes, but they did do enough down the stretch keep SUU from making it a game. Arielle dies indeed seem to be getting her game going. She was unstoppable at times in the second half.

Isn't it based on seeding? I'm guessing it's similar to the men's NIT, if a team's stadium is occupied (hosting an NCAA, under renovation, or other conflict), it goes to the lower seed.

The women's NIT does not seed the teams. Their brackets seem to be strictly along geographical lines (example: all of the PAC 12 teams are in one quarter of the bracket along with other western teams) They claim that locations are not based on attendance but it has seemed at times that that's been a key criteria.

Interesting, wasn't aware thanks for the info.
Congrats Ladys!
Carol Callan and Mike Rice said there were 850 in attendance last night. That does not bode well for another home game. They said if UTEP wins, the Wednesday game will be at UTEP. If St. Mary's wins, CU could get another home game since St. Mary's had to go to UTEP.
I was pleased for Rachel last night and the way she played. She does not want the season to end! Arielle played very well in the second half.
Yes, the Buffs were again inconsistent and still did not play well for 40 minutes. However, they got SUU in foul trouble instead of themselves. That has not always been the case this season. That was a good thing as SUU was making their FTs.
Wednesday night at the computer for me whether the game is in Boulder or Texas.
