The Gaels are expected to finish 5th in the West Coast Conference (Gonzaga is first):
2019-20: 6-12/7th in WCC, 12-19 overall
Coach: Paul Thomas (268-179 in 15th season)
Top returning players: Senior guard/forward Maddy Holland (12.6 points. 4.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists), junior guard Taycee Wedin (12.8 points, 104 3-point baskets), senior guard/forward Emily Codding (14.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 18 games)
Top newcomers: Sophomore guard Jade Kirisome got valuable playing time last season at Furman, and Amy West, a wiry 6-foot-4 sophomore from Liberty, should help boost the Gaels' post defense. The Gaels also welcome three freshman, all of whom could get minutes.
Key non-conference games: The Gaels are playing in a three-game event over Thanksgiving weekend at Arizona State, where they are scheduled to face VCU on Wednesday. SMC also plays a road game against Ohio State on Dec. 16.
What matters: Saint Mary's will forge ahead without preseason All-WCC selection Sam Simons (16.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 40% 3-point), who opted out of this season due to COVID-19 concerns and remains at home in Australia, a country coping much better with the virus than the U.S. The return to health of Codding will be significant. She was "our best player," coach Paul Thomas says, when she suffered a season-ending knee injury. Thomas plans to play more old-school basketball this season, trying to score in the paint more often and taking fewer 3-point shots.
Quote: "Was it was tough? Of course. I'm sure it was tougher on her and her teammates than it was on the coaches. As she said, this was not a knee-jerk decision. It was thought out. I'm sure right now they're thinking, `We made a great decision.' " SMC coach Paul Thomas on Sam Simons' decision to opt out of the season due to COVID-19 concerns

The Gaels lost to VCU 87-79 on Wednesday.
For this game, I'd like to see less turnovers, more FTs made, and more production from our pre-season all-conference team members. Let's go Ladyjacks!

Sure! Just head to SFA Womens Basketball Page on Facebook and the video will be there! You can watch on smartphone, tablet, computer. I can't remember if Facebook Live videos can be cast on smart TV because it's been awhile since I watched Facebook Live.
Horrible view for the camera but I guess it's better than nothing....maybe.
You can also install Facebook Watch as an app on your smart device and watch from there. Search for SFA Womens Basketball.

SFA, Class of 1979
Looked for another stream option on St. Mary's website but they just link to this one. During a week with so much college ball, I'll make the sacrifice and watch this one even though it leaves much to be desired.
3 threes by Robinson!
I don't have FB. Please post occasional score updates as I'm traveling.
18-11 SFA. We have 4 fouls, SM has 1. We have 3 TO's to SM 6. End of 1st.
That's what I was looking for from Robinson!Pilotgirl said:

Robinson's going to be a contributor!
SFA 18-11. 9:23 left in 2nd Q.

Keep giving her that ball!! They aren't guarding her either
It appears that SMC only has 9 players. Maybe fatigue will play a factor later.
Turnovers. Turnovers.
We need to rebound more!
Crane getting some minutes. (I think that's her.)
Yes, it's Crane
SFA 22-17. 5 minutes left in half.
We're still not shooting the ball well. 33%.
Tied up at 24. We also aren't doing a good job of sharing the ball.
24-24. 1:54 left.
2-6 on FT's.
Wow, I know there is another half to go but shooting 30% and out rebounded by 13 or so to this point won't beat anybody. Hope we get things figured out at the half.
29-24 SMC at the half. Terrible shooting again tonight.
Yup...33.3% at the line. 11 fouls to their 6.

Our rebounding and shooting tonight is abysmal..maybe they ate too much turkey.
SFA has hit 1 of their last 11 shots. 3:39 scoring drought.

They must have eaten some before the ASU game, too. I don't understand this at all. Kellogg said last week during the coaches' show that this team would have no problem scoring points. Right now they can't hit the ocean with a stone.
Visscher, Banfield, Nugent combined 0-11.

Only six turnovers middle third quarter. That's very good.SFA Jack Fanatic said:
