Well everyone, here we are again. Conference play is over and the America East Tournament is this coming weekend. Once again, the AE women's tournament is the last conference tournament before NCAA selection Monday. The winner of the tournament automatically goes to the NCAA's with the 2nd place finisher likely relegated to the NIT. This has been a generally good year for Hartford who posted a 16-2 conference record but finished in second place behind 18 - 0 BU. So we are expecting a Hartford - BU final with the home court advantage hopefully helping us get past our last overtime loss against the Terriers.
The semifinals will be shown on NESN on Saturday the 14th at 6:30 (likely contestants - Hartford & Vermont). The final will also be on NESN on Sunday at 6:00. Hartford has won the tournament 3 of the last 4 years and with their strong bench expects to play to the very end in this grueling 3-game weekend event. We'll be staying in Hartford for the weekend and are hoping to have to scramble to get plane tickets and hotels for the NCAA tourney starting the following weekend.
