Expecting a very tough game. GMU is still playing for a 1 or 2 seed (with a win), while St. Joes is currently in a tie for a #4 seed with Davidson).
St. Joe's lost its 3 time All A-10 player to Louisville - Laura Zieglar - partly over NIL money, and partly over a chance at a NCAA Title. After a rough start she is now their leading scorer. But in some sense her departure has cleared the way for others to step up, and in major ways they have. Gabby Casey is now their leading scorer and rebounder. But unlike last season, they only have 1 other player averaging more than 10 points/game - guard Aleah Snead
Ther conference record is about the same as it was last year at this time - when they entered the A-10 Tourney as the #4 seed.
Of major importance is the 6 pm start time of URI at Richmond. A Richmond win and a GMU win puts us in a tie for first place in conference play. ESPN Analytics have Richmond as a heavy favorite.
