JMU hosts Maine at the AUBC tonight. Really excited to see the new edition of this team in a new conference (Sun Belt) featuring 5 (count 'em 5!) new players plus the return of Peyton McDaniel, who missed all of last year with a foot injury, and Claire Neff, who missed much of it. Bring it on!

As of now, all but one of ND's games will be available in live video in some form (only the Lafayette game is audio only), although I'm not sure I'll spring for the FloHoops subscription to watch the American and ASU games). Two are even on national broadcast networks (Cal on NBC this weekend and UConn on ABC)!
I was just commenting on ND Nation about how far coverage of the sport has come. Back in 1995-96 I had to wait for monthly updates from Blue and Gold Illustrated (which, being a Football oriented paper, ran only once a month during Basketball season). I was happy when ND finally got ranked in the AP Poll because only ranked Women's teams had their scores on the ESPN ticker, so I could at least get scoring updates on that...until I found out that they used the Coaches' Poll ranking, so I had to wait 2 more weeks to even get that feature.
Now I can even watch the ACCNX broadcast games on my TV (ESPN app in the Roku), and thankfully last year Comcast finally got around to including ACC network.
I am so primed for this season. ND now has depth in the the post thanks to the addition of Watson and Ebo.

Alissa Pili had 27 points in so minutes as she made her debut with Utah. She also had 7 boards and 2 blocks in the 88-63 over Idaho. Good on her that she seems to have rebounded from last seasons injury. She could make a great compliment to J. johnson and Kneepkens for this Ute team.

JMU lost its first game to Maine, 60-58, in a heartbreaker. Maine plays a pressing defense and was a tougher opponent than expected. On JMU's upside, the debut of Kseniia Kozlova, a transfer from Russia and MTSU, who provided much-needed muscle under the basket as well as points from there, the return of Peyton McDaniel, and some nice minutes from grad transfer PB Caroline Germond and CoC transfer Amira Williams as well as the usual anchor play of Kiki Jeffferson. Downside included defensive problems on JMU's part and some lazy passing by Germond, also the absence of a key player in Annalicia Goodman, who started at C most of last year but is currently out with some kind of injury.
Also, Maine's Anna Kahelin went down with some kind of serious-looking injury, possibly a knee, in the first minute of the game. I hope it wasn't an ACL but she couldn't put weight on it and we didn't see her even on the bench after that.

So happy to have another college basketball season upon us.
Marquette is playing a lot of not so tough games during non-conference play though so it will be hard for me to have a good handle on them early. Although they have some tough games coming up at tournament in the Bahamas.
