Game starts at 6pm....
I think I read we are the favorites, but we haven't beat them this year.
Maybe we can cause some problems in the tournament.

THE WORST BASKETBALL OFFICIALS IVE EVER WITNESSED....WOW I didn't get to watch it. I may have to check out some of the replay. I'm just seeing that all of the higher seeds won tonight.

I'm just seeing that all of the higher seeds won tonight. not saying we would have won. But they did control the flow of the game, which is not supposed to happen. They made phantom foul calls on both teams. I've seen fouls not get called in other games that were 100×s worse than any foul I saw tonight.

Home court is a big deal. Really thought we had a chance tonight. I did not get to watch, was at my daughters tennis match. Blackmon had another solid night, out bench players didn’t contribute, hard to win on the toad when you go scoreless for over 7 minutes. Team lands another piece and could be scary good next year.

Our ladies are completely out of sync. No offense at all.

Ugly start. Stetson made their open looks while Lions built a house of brick. Passes were not very crisp and the size down low is really affecting our offense. We will likely not get many second chance opportunities today, make them count ladies! We need to gain some ground before the half and then catch fire.
ROAR LIONS!

Really looking forward to the 2nd tourney win! I hope getting over that hurdle allows them to play loose. Next match will be tough, keep winning and maybe NIT?

Every time the WNIT is mentioned on here they lose. But, I see this as a must-win game to have a chance at it. Despite UNA sweeping Liberty in the regular season, the Flames are still ranked higher in the RPI (as is UNF). The Ospreys play FGCU in the other semifinal matchup. I hope the fans turn out to support the team. Looked like a nice crowd was there yesterday. Roar Lions!

The difference RPI basic comes down to the Pre Conference SOS, we schedule and played.
Alabama State - 7-20 RPI 326 Tennessee State - 2-24 RPI 334 Mississippi Valley State - 2-27 RPI 351
Playing Iowa - 23-7 RPI 15 Iowa State - 17-11 RPI 49
Help, but not enough to outweigh those HBCU.
I know the School & Coach has no control over what teams we play in tourneys and match ups at other schools when the coaches at those schools matched the teams up.
Where as Liberty Pre Conference schedule has not played anyone whose RPI is in the 300’s.
The Rating Percentage Index, commonly known as the RPI, is a quantity used to rank sports teams based upon a team's wins and losses and its strength of schedule. The three component factors which make up the RPI are as follows: Factor I- is the team's Division I winning percentage and is 25 percent of the RPI. Games against non-Division I opponents are not included in the normal RPI. Home wins are weighted 0.6, neutral wins 1.0, and road wins count 1.4, and road losses are 0.6, neutral losses 1.0, and home losses 1.4. Factor II - is the team's opponents' Division I winning percentage, or the team's schedule strength, excluding results against the team in question. It is 50 percent of the RPI. Factor III - is the team's opponents' opponents' Division I winning percentage, or the team's opponents' strength of schedule, excluding results against the team in question. Factor III is 25 percent of the RPI.

Factor III is 25 percent of the RPI. It’s a catch-22, really. The higher RPI teams tend to be ones we have an easier time convincing to come to Florence. We either play a tougher schedule for a bit of a lower RPI and stay on the road all through November or December, or we play some teams like we did and get a few home games out of it. It’s a hard choice to make, IMO. Unfortunately our weaker schedule has made it to where we probably have a razor-thin margin in making the WNIT. I think if we make it to the ASUN championship game and play FGCU (presumably) a close one, we’ll be the ASUN rep. But you just never know.
