Girls Hoop, Too!


Recommended Posts

So I'm currently sitting in the Trial mode while I wait for GDS to reset my FBCB 2010 license (eLicense wouldn't do it). I'll be using [b]Petrel[/b]'s women's basketball mod, which includes name files and prestige ratings.

But I also might be tweaking those ratings. I'm seeing some very odd things.

1. Binghamton having 23 prestige despite not appearing to have the record to deserve that.

2. Cornell being at 2 prestige despite a 2004 NCAA appearance, while Columbia has 17 prestige with only 2 winning records in Ivy League history - and one of those is in 2020 - well past when he made the database! 0 appearances of course. That one I would love a justification on.

3. UW-Green Bay being at 72 prestige just one Sweet 16 appearance. Granted in recent history at the time the mod was made, the Phoenix were pretty consistently in the tournament and having a habit of making the second round, but 72 still seems a little too high for me.

4. Western Illinois being at 4 prestige even though they have (an admittedly distant) NCAA tournament appearance and at least 2 WNIT appearances (I'm only through 2010 currently). That's still far better than Binghamton and Columbia, and arguably better than Cornell.

Now if you want to argue that academic prestige and national reputation are part of the equation, that still does not square with such a wide disparity between Cornell and Columbia.

Okay, okay enough complaining from me (there will be more later, I'm sure).

So far, as noted I've gone through 2010 on the WNIT. I'll be going through 2012 since FBCB's default start year is 2013, and it becomes a real pain in the butt to tabulate teams once it expands to 64 teams (Note: FBCB only allows it to go to 40). The WBI is tabulated to 2012, but I haven't written down the champions of it yet. I might not because no one cares about the third-tier tournament.

For the NCAA tournament, I'm through the C's, and though I'm tabulating until 2022, I still won't take any team that's made their first tournament appearance after 2012. I don't want the pressure of trying to repeat the real-life results :)

Most interesting thing I've found: Arkansas Pine-Bluff bragging about their 1977-78 AWISA championship team - so much so that like 42 years later, they brought the team back to a game to acknowledge them:

https://uapblionsroar.com/news/2020/1/17/1977-78-womens-basketball-champions-to-be-honored-saturday

What's AWISA, you ask? Arkansas Women's Intercollegiate Sports Association. Basically, as JIMGA (who cracked the acronym for me) noted, essentially celebrating a conference championship. UAPB wasn't part of the AIAW, which was the national women's college organization at the time. As the article notes, they were part of the National Black Association of Black Sports.

Other historical note: the women's NCAA tournament started in 1982. The AIAW also held their tournament that year, but the best teams, including defending champion Louisiana Tech, said bye to the AIAW and went to the NCAA tournament instead (LA Tech won the inaugural tournament, then won again in 1988, beating Auburn by just 2 points).

Historical note 3? 4?: Auburn is the Buffalo Bills of women's college basketball. Three straight years - 1988, 1989, 1990 - they made the national championship game. They lost all three - by 2 to LA Tech in 88, by 16 to Tennessee in 89, by 8 to Stanford in 90. The Tigers have fallen off the map comparatively speaking since 1996, when they made their last Elite 8 appearance. That was the last time they made the Sweet 16, too.

Anyway, next post I'll probably come yet with more cool facts/trivia, and maybe have some lists ready for y'all to read. Long, long lists.

Absolutely classic website I stumbled upon while trying to figure out if Fairleigh Dickinson made the NWIT after their NEC tournament (and share of one) regular season championship in the late 80s/early 90s: http://womenscollegebasketballhistory.com

Definite throwback to the past

As you can see on that genuinely helpful website, you essentially had 2 tournaments per year (not unlike now). Except for the year 1997 - the NWIT folded in 1996 and the secondary women's tournament wasn't brought back until 1998.

So I promised a list, and here's one: the WBI teams and champions from 2010-12 (For more details and later champions, see the [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_Basketball_Invitational"]Wikipedia page[/URL]

[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_National_Invitation_Tournament"]The Wikipedia page for the WNIT[/URL]

NWIT brackets I can only find on that throwback site and I'm not going to go through the hassle of tabulating that. Website to list of champions and runners-up per year can be found on the [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Women's_Invitational_Tournament"]Wikipedia page[/URL]

How are we doing on the NCAA tournament? Partway through the Es, I got sick of having to go back and forth to determine last year for things, so I switched to number of bids, S16s, E8s, F4s, and RUs. It's going a lot faster that way, and if I need to look up last year because I end up coaching one of those teams, I'll just hop to their page and find it.

I'm also going to rule out Fairleigh Dickinson from the list. Odds are they made the NWIT so they're ineligible. I'm going strictly for colleges that have no D-1 invited tournament play of any kind in their history. Through the Gs, we have 7 listed, but I won't post the full list until I finish going through the NCAA tournament notes.

So I realized I was creating way too much unnecessary work for myself and just sorted by Prestige in-game, finding the perfect team to try and get to the postseason for the first time.

We'll be switching from here to a mostly narrative approach. Out of game authorial commentary will be separated.

"Wagner began play in 1970. They have won the Northeast Conference title just once, in 1989. That year, they went 22-7 (14-2 in conference play), winning both the regular season and the tournament (66-60 over Robert Morris). The Seahawks have never qualified for a postseason tournament, neither Division I nor WNIT nor WBI. As of the end of the 2015-16 season, the Seahawks have an all-time record of 511-665." (Wikipedia)

It's 2013. And I've somehow ended up as the head coach of the Wagner women's basketball team. Dope logo. Not dope: NYC cost of living. The college is in Staten Island, which at least isn't the apartment-infested hellhole of Manhattan. I hate apartments.

But I'm living in one. $70,000 can get you a nice place in some parts of the country on a yearly salary, but the world of college sports is a precarious one for coaches, and who knows how long I'll be here.

I skim through the fact sheet left me by my predecessor:

[b]Wagner College[/b]
Prestige: 6
Conference: Northeast
Prestige Rank in Conference: 3rd to last, ahead of Bryant (1) and St. Francis (NY) [3]

[u]General Team Notes[/u]
 *Academic eligibility will be a concern - Just five players on the team are at least scholastically average (50+)
*[b]Corrine Hovis[/b] is the lone player with a demonstrable shot - she's good from 3-point range, but lousy everywhere else
 *I recruited heavily for quick (80+) point guards
*[b]McKenna Seely[/b] can play some post D, [b]Karina Leith[/b] has a bit of two-way ability. Rely on these seniors for leadership and possibly your starting frontcourt unless you want [b]Lila Reyes[/b]' solid rebounding in the lineup
*[b]Hannah Isom[/b] has the most upside on the roster. She can be a good 3 point shooter and perimeter defender

[b]Yasmin Ahmed[/b] was my first hire. Bangladeshi-American a couple years younger than me. She grew up in Salt Lake City where her father was a foreman at a plant for a company whose headquarters was in the NYC area. She'd been a scholarship player for Houston Baptist and I had a bit of fun teasing this young Muslim woman who grew up in a Mormon city and went to a Baptist college. She just smiled coolly at me and shook her head. Her poise drew people in, so she was a natural fit to be the Recruiting Coordinator. The administration was thrilled about the diversity hire and we got a lot of PR out of it. Yasmin had talent, though.

Then there was [b]Kyleigh Pirtle[/b]. Despite the modern first name, she was 59 years old, who also grew up in Wisconsin, in the town of Shell Lake and went to Tennessee-Martin. We bonded over our mutual German ancestry and love of defense, the latter of which she was actually legitimately skilled at teaching. I hoped she could help Isom grow into her potential on that side of the ball. Kyleigh certainly had success turning Shell Lake High into a defensive powerhouse at any rate after she graduated from Tennessee-Martin.

Scouting Director was the biggest headache, but I realized I had more money in the coaching budget than I thought and was able to snap up [b]Anastasia Cobb[/b]. A 47 year old black woman and Oregon native (The Dalles), she'd gone clear cross-country to attend Gardner-Webb and had a comparatively sharp eye for spotting talent. Which we frankly needed.

Our non-conference schedule had a bunch of fellow bad teams and Rutgers. It was also Ivy League-heavy.

In recruiting, since the previous coach focused so heavily on point guards, I found myself looking for SFs and bigs. We only had 2 scholarships to give out, so I wanted to focus on the players who looked most likely to epitomize the pressure defense I was looking to instill.

Our first offer went to Czech PF [b]Eliska Janousek[/b]. Couldn't shoot worth a damn, but great rebounder and defender by the stats and our subsequent scouting (for our level, anyway). Our second went to [b]Neveah Orange[/b] not only had one of the best names ever, the New Jersey PF, if our scouting was accurate, already was the best inside shooter and looked to be a solid perimeter defender who'd suit up at the 3.

Bad November news - [b]Neveah Orange[/b] had narrowed it down to Long Island and us, then blew us off for the Blackbirds. Losing her to a rival NEC team hurt. But on the bright side, Hawaii, who had been sniffing around [b]Eliska Janousek[/b], buzzed off, leaving us the sole contenders for the Czech.

Unfortunately, I'd been pouring all our recruiting money into our targets, so we were left scrambling when the Orange rejected us.

The only player I cared about in training camp was [b]Hannah Isom[/b], and I sculpted her regimen to really focus on perimeter defense and 3 point shooting. She didn't have fantastic improvement, but it was solid...

It's an all-freshman backcourt for the Seahawks and a very short one. Hovis is here strictly for her 3 point shooting wizardry and will be asked to be one of the team's leading scorers.

Probably projects as the PF when she returns, shifting [b]Reyes[/b] to the bench.

This team is what it is, so I don't particularly care to list the reserves. You'll get to know them eventually.

We're walking a snail's pace offense with no motion, relying on our 3 point shooting (such as it is) and a lot of double-team help defense.

[b]@ Columbia (0-0)[/b]
And so we stay in the NYC area and travel to Morningside Heights to take on the disastrous Lions. They're running a 5'7 and 5'9 forward combo, so I'm hopeful our height advantage will mean something. [b]McKenna Seely[/b] wins the opening tipoff and [b]Lila Reyes[/b] hits the ensuing jumpshot, so at least we don't trail the whole game.

[b]McKenna Seely[/b] draws a charge on the opposite end and [b]Karina Leith[/b] dishes out to [b]Corrine Hovis[/b], who nails the 3-pointer and I'm starting to get a wee bit excited.

Naturally [b]Karina Leith[/b] picks up two quick fouls, [b]Hannah Isom[/b] misses two free throws, and we fall behind until [b]Lila Reyes[/b] converts an and-1 to put us back up.

And then the pendulum swings back the other way - including [b]McKenna Seely[/b] getting T-ed up in addition to a foul.

If [b]Hannah Isom[/b] and [b]Breanna Jacques[/b] weren't a combined [b]3 of 10 from the charity stripe[/b], we'd be leading at the half instead of down 30-32. Columbia is shooting a ridiculous 64.7% at the break, but they've also racked up 15 team fouls to keep us in it. Redshirt freshman [b]Layla Landers[/b] is getting a run at PG because Isom is annoying me. The definite hero at the half for us has been [b]Lila Reyes[/b] with 7 points, 4 rebounds, and an assist. [b]Corrine Hovis[/b] has 9 with 1 steal, 1 turnover.

From there, our shooting completely tanks, the Lions continue not to miss, and they totally crush us.

[b]vs #9 Rutgers (3-0)[/b]
I turn this one over to [b]Kyleigh Pirtle[/b] because I don't want to see the 50 point bloodbath that follows. No stats here - it's too ugly.

Eliska Janousek continues to toy with us, but I find [b]Hope Bennett[/b], a 5'11 SF from way out in California, who looks perfect for the system I want to run. She has an offer from Seattle but I'll try to snipe her anyway.

[b]vs Bucknell (0-3)[/b]
If we can't even manage this one, we might well go winless the entire season. [b]Layla Landers[/b] gets the nod at PG, as [b]Hannah Isom[/b] has been a disappointment so far.

The good news: we found a fellow team that can't shoot 40%. The bad news: We've given up 10 turnovers by the half and are down by double-digits yet again. We're also shooting 30% from the charity stripe. And [b]Layla Landers got injured[/b].

We never get any closer than 8

Miracle of miracles, we actually hold a 23-22 halftime lead as [b]Hannah Isom[/b] has gone off for 8 points. Of course we allowed a shot at the buzzer to cut our lead to 1. Of course.

Miracle of miracles, a Seahawks win! We gutted out this victory on a 33-10 FTA. That's the story right there, pure and simple getting to the line. [b]Lila Reyes[/b] honestly deserves PotG despite [b]Hannah Isom[/b] and [b]McKenna Seely[/b]'s better raw stats - Reyes didn't turn the ball over 3 times.

So I'm talking to [b]Kyleigh Pirtle[/b] in my office, and we're looking at the data and our notes on the girls.

"I think [b]Karina Leith[/b] needs to go out of the lineup," she says. "Her shooting has been terrible, her PPS is easily the worst of the starters, and I've noticed her lack of quickness is getting her killed on defense."

"So who do you suggest? [b]Rose McCarthy[/b] and [b]Jade Sand[/b] haven't looked any better in the minutes we've given them."

"[b]Sarah Bell[/b]? She's the only who hasn't see any court time at all, and she's one of our scholarship seniors."

"Might as well try it."

[b]@ Colorado State (3-2)[/b]
This went about how you might expect, though we set a new low by shooting under 30% from the floor. On top it, [b]Lila Reyes[/b] pulls a groin muscle and is Day-to-Day.

[b]@ Brown (4-2)[/b]
The Bears are off to a surprisingly good start, all things considered. [b]Lila Reyes[/b] is back in the lineup because 98% of Reyes is better than whatever else we have available. 8-0 run for us to start the game, but we blow that. Tie it up on our last possession at the half and again allow a buzzer-beater score to be down 25-27 going into the locker room.

We never get the lead back as the second half is all Brown, and it's only matter of if we lose by single digits or double. It turns out single, much like me.

[b]@ Yale (3-4)[/b]
We're down by 9 at the half and that's frankly better than we started out. Turnovers and inability to make free throws are absolutely killing us, even though we're actually shooting decently for once. Second half is pure blowout. I frigging hate the Bulldogs

[b]vs Coppin State (0-9)[/b]
One of the few teams in the country who might actually be worse than we are. Of course then we give up 11 turnovers in the first half and are down by double-digits. Fucking embarrassing. I don't even know what to do, as it only gets worse from there.

[b]Hope Bennett[/b] signs with Seattle. We were too late getting into that game. On the bright side, [b]Eliska Janousek[/b] finally emails in her LOI, just when teams like Xavier, Duke, West Virginia, and Maryland were starting to sniff around.

Raw but oh so promising player. Of course, not that our 6 rated, 10th in the NEC facilities will help her develop anywhere close to her potentials. But if this is accurate, she steps on the court as a slightly worse rebounder than [b]Lila Reyes[/b] but far better post defense than Day 1, and the best stealer on the team by a wide margin. Not enough to start instituting my planned pressure defense, of course, but still an improvement.

[b]Abigail Santoyo[/b] is back off academic suspension and immediately whining about playing time. There's no question that she'll start - it's just a matter of where. Ultimately I decide to slot her in at PF. We also tick up the Pace and slightly drop our 3 point shooting, making Abigail and [b]Corrine Hovis[/b] the keys to our offense.

We want to avoid last place in the conference so the AD doesn't start thinking  he made a mistake in hiring me. Looks like our best shot to do that might be finishing ahead of Monmouth and prove that Seahawks are better than plain old vanilla Hawks.
