Another gutsy comeback win for the women last night over previously unbeaten Seton Hall. With the help of this win, the Tigers took over the #1 ranking in the latest mid-major poll this week.
It was gutsy. But too much relying on 4Q comebacks is living on the edge.
Looks like Skye Belker has really stepped up her game, bad news for the rest of the league
Her jump shot is a thing of beauty.
Just to clarify, the College Insider Mid-Major poll came out on Tuesday afternoon, before the Seton Hall game, so it did not factor into the #1 ranking. The AP poll, which also came out on Tuesday, has them tied for #30 with Oregon, and they’re #32 in the NET rating, which dropped on Wednesday. If they handle Belmont, ranked #21 in the Mid-Major poll, after the Seton Hall win, they should move up closer to the Top 25. As for the game, I was glad to see Taylor Charles sink the two free throws to ice it at the end.
You are correct. I realized my mistake right after I posted it. I too, was happy to see Charles make those two free throws at the end and felt she should have played more in the second half. Tigers more or less won the game at the foul line going 15-16 while Seton Hall was 13-21.
