MU Women's B Ball tonight on FS1

Gotta think between her and Keiger that the team will start getting some legit looks to improve as opposed to being a stepping stone. Plus adding UConn to us and Depaul makes the conference slightly more legit to a competitor right?

It’s all about the Benjamin’s

I don't think adding UCONN has helped the conference that much.  It's still basically a mid-major in Women's Basketball.  And while this season may be a little different than others due to Covid, the bottom of the conference this season is pretty bad.  Seton Hall and Villanova would be WNIT worthy in normal seasons (no idea if they're even hosting that this season) but truthfully the BE will be lucky to get 3 teams in the big dance.  UCONN and MU are locks in my opinion and DePaul is highly likely to make it but may be close to the bubble at this point.

Purdue is a school that may or may not part ways with their coach - once again the Big Ten would be a major upgrade to the Big East in Women's Basketball in my opinion. 

I'm admittedly cynical but I just feel like MU will always be a stepping stone for Women's Basketball.  I feel like any good coaches won't be here long before moving onto a better conference.  I'd love to be wrong and see Duffy stay a long time and do great things with this program .

This video was awesome - I thought Duffy might hurt herself doing the chest bumps though - https://twitter.com/MarquetteWBB/status/1364736073717407747

If Ivey doesn’t work out at Norte Dame, she could very well be an option for that gig as well.

I think Ivey is going to do well there - too soon to tell for sure yet though of course.

Yes and very nice to overtake DePaul for 2nd.  MU was picked to finish 3rd behind UCONN and DePaul in the preseason poll.

I think Duffy was a great hire but imagine she will draw a lot of interest from P5 schools soon enough.  I'm trying to enjoy it while she's here - it's out of of my control as to how long she stays at MU of course.

Adding UConn should help recruiting in the long term.  "You get the opportunity to play against UConn twice a year and show your stuff."
