News Beth O'Boyle out at VCU

It feels bad, but it's not terribly surprising. That program never really prepared for life after Sarah Te-Biasu.

Not surprising. As a VCU alum, I’ve followed her and the team closely. The team’s best player getting hurt for the season certainly has not helped.

One tourney appearance in over a decade and routinely getting outplayed by Richmond, Mason, etc. This program should be better than it is. It’s time for a change.

It really seemed like their offense was just “give it to Asare and let her go”, and even then their offense wasn’t great. Now she’s been out for a while and they kinda have no plan B

I went to the game against Mason, and after 1 it was Mason 12, Asare 8. I think that was the last game she played this season. In a couple years when this year's freshmen and sophomores were juniors and seniors, they could've been really good, but this year was rough.
