I know a lot of you may have some reservations about making it to women's basketball. For whatever reason, the games just "haven't work out" and you just "didn't get a chance to go." Well, now's the time to stop making excuses. This Friday night women's basketball takes on the number one hated rival across the board - Boston College. If you're on campus and don't make it out to this game, well, quite frankly, you suck.
If you want some more convincing, keep reading.
Let's start from the beginning with a picture montage.
That's right. Aside from one small blip in the 06-07 season, the women's basketball team has finished no lower than third. They've even won it twice in the last six seasons. And for good measure, go back and look at 08-09. That's right. Look at that record.
Yeah, they're kinda good.
But I get it, you still want more convincing. You're not that into basketball and you're not even sure where Case Gym is. So let's talk about the team a little bit.
How about Caroline Stewart and Alex Young? Two of the most consistent and improved players in their time at BU. Always fought hard for their points and their wins. Oh and as for pre-game, you could find Caroline Stewart singing the National Anthem. Yeah, talented in two totally different aspects.
OH WHOOPS THEY GRADUATED YOU CAN'T SEE THEM NOW.
But let's talk about K-Mac. Probably the most popular player to don the Scarlet and White for women's basketball. Always interacted with the fans, the band. Not to mention she was a walk on. But the cheers on senior night for her were ridiculous. It was so loud and well deserved.
That's right - senior night. She's gone, too. You missed her, too.
Doesn't that suck? You've missed some cool things here while you chose to sit in your dorm room on a Wednesday night and do homework. You could've been sweating your ass off in Case Gym enjoying a hard fought game but you decided to order Domino's and Noodle Street. Ouch.
But let's say you start going to women's basketball now, this Friday night. Wanna know what you WON'T miss?
Rashidat Agboola. Chantell Alford. Mo Moran. And nah, I don't think I'm gonna tell you about them. Why don't you just show up and see for yourself?
Look, I know we aren't Kentucky. We aren't UConn. We aren't even UNLV. But we sure as hell can throw down in our own conference. It doesn't matter that the chances of making the NCAA tournament this year are slim. Every game can still be fun and a chance to show pride for our school.
One thing on that - basketball chants are fun. Not only can they be longer and perhaps more creative - they can be heard better. Even as loud as you get in Agganis, there's still obstruction. There's glass blocking off at least 5 rows of sound. At Case? Not even a little bit. Those players hear you and they feed off you. Watch what they do with that.
Oh and to top it all off, we get to start this season versus BC. Now do you really need anymore reason to start going? Throw on your best scarlet and white and I'll see you at The Roof.
