... on the biggest stage. Coach Mike Brey inserted the 6-foot-1 guard into the lineup for last season's NCAA tournament first-round game against Michigan. "I wasn't more nervous," Farrell said. "I just got to go out there and play with guys that I had been around for two years. It was going out there, being confident and having fun with the guys around me.

Mount Notre Dame Basketball Team Embraces Tradition While Preparing For Friday Night

... game,” Canton Mc Kinley coach Pamela Davis said. “They can turn up the pressure if they choose to and they can play a zone that can create matchup problems.”. Canton Mc Kinley is led by sophomore 6-foot-1 guard Kierstan Bell, who averages 25 points. Bell has multiple scholarship offers from the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference programs. Rogers said Bell reminds him of Mason standout guard Sammie Puisis without the shooting range. “I don’t know if you are going to stop (Bell),” Rogers said. MND, which averages 61.5 points and allows just 40 points on average, scouted Mc Kinley’s regional final against Solon last Friday night. The Lady Pups like shooting 3-pointers. They made a school-record 10 in a game this season. Rogers said the Lady Pups present some matchup problems for the Cougars. MND will have to be consistent defensively and be ...

Bodensteiner Builds Brackets

... it's great data to have.". On Thursday Bodensteiner headed to Indianapolis where the committee members locked themselves in a hotel for the weekend. "We have TVs all over watching conference tournament games that are going on. We plug in the AQs (automatic qualifiers) as they are determined and cross off those teams from the at-large list. "I'm a rookie and so I'm learning a ton this year, but it's been fascinating.". Bodensteiner particularly appreciates the way in which NCAA staffers collaborate with the committee. "The NCAA staff guides us logistically and plays devil's advocate. Someone will say, ‘You said this about team X, are you being inconsistent with this about team Y?'. "But, at the end of the day, it has to be the committee's work and the committee has to be comfortable. "I'll look forward to improving my game-watching in the future now that I've got a little more of a strategy. I may have over- or under-watched this year, but I'll certainly tweak some things moving forward.". A Notre Dame graduate and also holder of an MBA from Notre ...

Injury A Challenge For Washington High Grad Murphy

... I was younger, I didn’t use weights. I ate a lot, but I didn’t put on weight.”. With Murphy unavailable, the burden of point guard has fallen completely on the shoulders of senior Ashley Morrissette. Had Murphy been healthy, the position may have been a timeshare. The injury happened early enough in the season that Murphy should be eligible for a medical redshirt year. “Coming back home is a great feeling, even though I can’t play,” Murphy said. “I have a lot of family coming. I had to ask for a lot of extra tickets.”. “Whenever you tear an ACL, it’s the most traumatic injury for an athlete,” said Purdue head coach Sharon Versyp. “Some people can really be down, depressed and struggle with it. Others can be receptive and handle it maturely. She handled it that way. “Knowing the journey ahead, she ...
