Bree Glover topscored for the Scotties with 20 while Shalika Smith added 16 to the cause.

Not sure who can handle Louisville Butler, but if there is a team out there....Lafayette is the closest ones

I predict that Lafayette will beat Butler. Butler is young and has trouble at crunch time. In the LIT Butler almost blew it and beat SHA by one point. SHA held them to 12 points in the second half because they couldn't take care of the ball under pressure.

 

Lafayette really impressed me with their performance last night. They are the real deal. I hope Sacred Heart gets a chance to play them in the championship game.

For sure, but then again Sacre Heart has E-Town and Anderson County in the lower half of the bracket.
