Women's BB: The Ladies try to one up the Gents....

VT 11-11(1-8) loses to Syracuse 17-6(6-4) 73-48....

The only relative bright spot was Uju Ugoka returning from injury to record her 12th double double of the season, scoring 15 points while grabbing 12 boards. The only other Hokie in double figures was Vanessa Panoussis with 12 points. Surprisingly Syracuse only had one player in double figures but Brittney Sykes threw down 31 points in only 28 minutes of play. This game unfortunately was essentially over halfway through the first half, as the Hokies were down by double digits from the 10 minute mark throughout the rest of the game. Syracuse led by 21 at the half and by as many as 35 at one point in this game. They had ten players play at least ten minutes each in this game, so the Lady Hokies struggled even against the back ups in this game. Not a good showing especially against a middling team in the conference this year.

I think the school as a whole needs to work on this "hoop-ball" game.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

I think it's referred to as "hoop-spheres"

Remember when the women's team beasted year in and year out? I miss those days...

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

My Bonnie lies over the ocean...

The HT pep band sang this after every game when Bonnie was walking to the scorer's table for her post-game interviews. Yes, she would conduct us en route.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

yeah dude, when i was there (99-01) seemed like more people went to women's games than men's.

To be fair, that was back when the men's team was easily the worst in the Big East, and the women's team was routinely making the postseason, so... makes sense.

Or it'll be the first double shutout in the history of the game.

No, I am not optimistic right now.
