Women's b-ball in NIT Elite 8

Submitted by Lumpy_wolverine on March 22nd, 2016 at 9:37 PM

The women's team beat San Diego, 78-51 to get to the NIT quarterfinals. They play the winner of Thursday's matchup between Temple and Ohio.

I know - it's just the NIT. But it is good to have some good news in basketball in late March. It also brings the women's team to 20 wins.

I'd prefer there be zero Michigan players with 700+ points next season. The team's best games this season came when they got balanced scoring. They lost more than one of the games in which Flaherty scored 30+.

They were destroying them at some point like 27-9 before a late run going into the half. Played a solid game

I watched the game on my phone.

Why? Because there was no M football.

There are no seeds in this tournament so would Michigan host the remaining 3 games if they make it?

They pick home team based on arena availability and attendance.

It's also based on which school is willing to pony up the money required by the organizers to host a game.

They can't host the final if they get that far because it's scheduled for the same day (April 2) as the NCAA women's gymnastics regional being held at Crisler.

I don't think cliff keen is big enough to fit a basketball court

Took my wife and daughter to the game. We just got back from the game. We had a good time. WNIT decides host school on a round by round basis. We hosted a semi final last year but not all of the earlier rounds.

And the single season assist record holder Siera Thompson. Now that 5th starter, could be anyone. I have no idea.

It was a fun game!! It took San Diego until the 3rd quarter to score what UM scored in the first quarter. Hallie Thome took a hard foul at the end of the game and bumped her head hard, but she said she's ok. Can't wait to see if UM will host the next game.
