Yale will host BC tomorrow night
Although UConn and Hartford are the only Connecticut teams in the NCAA women's basketball tournament, the Nutmeg State has other teams and played partaking in March Madness.
Thursday at 7 p.m. the Yale women's basketball team will host Boston College in the Bulldogs' first postseason game since 1979.
On Friday, former Guilford High star Jaci Daigneault will lead her Amherst College team into the Division III national semifinals. Amherst, in the Final Four for the third straight year, will face Christopher Newport College at 6 p.m.
Daigneault averaged 16.3 points and 7 rebounds in the regionals including 24 points in the regional final game against Babson on Saturday.
Staying on the subject of greater New Haven players in postseason play, former Career star Ilicia Mathis is a key member of the Hartford team which will play at UConn in Sunday's first-round game, former Lauralton Hall star Keylantra Langley and St. John's will face Texas Tech in the first round of the Stanford subregional on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. while former Law star Casey Dulin and Marist will play Iowa State Saturday at 11:15 a.m. in the first game of the Durham subregional. If St. John's and Marist win on Saturday, all that likely awaits them would be second round games on Monday not only against Stanford and Duke but the games will be on the home courts of the national powers.
While it is not a women's event, but I am very impressed by the quality of the field for 2011 Basketball Hall of Fame’s Tip-Off Tournament being held at Mohegan Sun Arena on Nov. 19-20 with Kentucky, South Florida, Marist, Penn State, Long Island, Old Dominion, Vermont and Radford.
The game schedule at Mohegan Sun opens with four games on November 19 separated into two sessions. In first round action of Bracket 1, Long Island takes on Radford and Vermont plays Marist. First round action of Bracket 2 has Old Dominion
playing South Florida and Kentucky facing Penn State. Games conclude on November 20 with consolation and championship games in Bracket 1 and Bracket 2. Game times and sessions for both rounds will be announced at a later date.
