Nalani Keysia (our starting center who's been out since late November) will be back next season. But yes, another forward couldn't hurt. Our lack of depth in the paint is probably our biggest weakness currently.

And SLU's coach has NOVA ties.
Post-game press conference. Some tears. VB-L looked really grim (she comes on at around 20:30). The questioners are barely audible but Coach said something like "if I did, I likely would get fined". So I'm assuming it likely refers to the refs.

That projected bracket has us hosting a first round game. Should bode well for getting into the NIT. In the post-game, certainly VB-L expresses hope that today's game won't be the last game of the season for them.
I'm remembering when the men's team made the NIT more than a few years ago. Although disappointed that we didn't get into the NCAAs, there were great home wins over Austin Peay and Tennessee...was an exciting time!
There is also the new NCAA-run WBIT, so we have two opportunities for a postseason tournament.

Richmond wins by 14, earning the autobid. With a #54 NET before today's game, they should have been in the running for an at-large bid had they lost. Mason was a #64, St. Joe's #62, vcu #52.
If the WNIT or WBIT had a slot for regular season conference winners who didn't get an autobid, this outcome at least preserves an opening for a team like Mason.
Glad they acknowledged it, but that doesn't help our ladies now.
ESPN+ article on bubble teams for NCAA--no mention of Mason. Lists St Joe's as not likely to get in.
Haven't seen any parallel articles on WNIT/WBIT. Seems like we should have a shot there--maybe even a home game?

Women's Bubble Watch: Which teams are NCAA tournament locks, and who has work to do?
The bubble is rapidly shrinking as Selection Sunday nears. Are teams such as Arizona, Miami and Texas A&M on the right side of the bubble?
