But if Albany-UVM are tied, that means Albany beats Maine Saturday, so Maine and UMBC are then tied for third and 1-1 vs. each other. Albany swept UMBC. What's the next tiebreaker?

Even though the link above is from the shortened/asymmetric 2021 season, I believe the general principles hold true. If Albany and Vermont finished tied at 14-2 (very important to note the record, as if they were to each drop a game and finish 13-3 the scenario would be different), AND Maine and UMBC finish tied, I believe the determining factor would be NET ranking which Vermont currently has a ~40 spot advantage over Albany in that regard.

But any unexpected result from here on out changes the calculus.

I believe you are right. But Maine’s late season swoon is not good for UVM. If UMBC is 3rd outright, then Albany would be #1 seed - 2-0 vs UMBC, UVM 1-1 vs UMBC.

Go Maine, win your last two games!

Bella Vito had an awesome "Robin Duncan - type" game on Saturday - 10 rebounds, 5 assists, great defense.

With Maine winning tonight and UMBC losing, it's my understanding that UVM clinches the #1 seed on Saturday with a win or an Albany loss.

Not sure if this has been asked and answered. Does anyone know what Utterback's and Richason's plans are.
Are they planning to leave or come back for their Covid year. Would make a big difference in the UVM squad for
next year.

A lot of people are asking the same about Maine's Anne Simon who returned to the line-up last night with a fantastic line.....19 pts, 3 Reb, 4 assists & 5 steals.

Like most people, I'm just hearing stuff from people who are hearing stuff. But I've heard some indicators they may be back.

If that holds, this team could be nasty next year.

 

[Catamountfan]

I think the team will be very good either way. Myklebust might lead the team in scoring if she takes Richason's minutes.

This release says "The women's basketball program will be celebrating Emma Utterback, Delaney Richason, Marissa McDonald and Carly Whiteside for their contributions on and off the court."

I would take that as the strongest indicator yet that they will not be back.

I am taking my daughter to the UVM game today. This will be her first game in person. She plays for her middle school team . I hope this is the first of many!

The Lady Cats pull away from Bryant in the 4th quarter and win 64-41. Great team effort once again. Congratulations ladies.

I'm too young to remember a time where UVM WBB was genuinely good before this (I wasn't thinking about UVM during the Courtnay/May years since I was a middle schooler out of state, and the Inglese unbeaten seasons were before I was even born). And my time on campus coincided with arguably the nadir of the program.

Great to see the team have success, and great to see the community getting behind them.

UVM's had 3 great runs with women's bball:

Sheri Turnbull teams (plus Greenbaum, Bay, LaPine), Karalyn Church teams (plus Morgan Hall/Libby Smith and some other great VT HS-grown players and Courtnay Pilypaitis/May Kotsopoulus teams.

UVM WBB has clinched at least a spot in WNIT, correct?

This is correct.

A great building job by Coach Kresge. That's the good news. It's also the bad news - hopefully, her move up the coaching ladder is a year or two away. But it seems inevitable,

My daughter is also in middle school and we have really bonded over UVM basketball the past couple years. It's been so much fun, hope you had a great time at the game!!!

 

[ProfessorDavid]

My daughter liked Saturday's game so much she is going to the playoff game Wednesday as well. She is hooked!
