November 18, 20241 yr Hopefully, WV makes the finals of that Gulf Coast tournament or else this non-conference schedule will be a snooze fest outside of ND. 12/14 or 13/14 games will likely be blowouts dependent on if WV makes the finals of that tournament.

November 18, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Rickylovesweed said: Phelia might be the best pure scorer on the team. Think her minutes will increase eventually. She is deceptively athletic
November 18, 20241 yr Phelia scored nearly 17 points a game for 2 years at Michigan. 21 minutes a game here doesn't seem like nearly enough but you have to really buy into the defensive end for Vic to trust you. Still, she's too talented of a scorer to only play 21 minutes a game.
November 18, 20241 yr We are doing well offensively without a 3 point shooting threat and Moore having a really slow start to the year. She better be careful or we will be starting the 4 guard lineup or Carlton will take her spot. I like what I see from Carlton a lot This defense travels, so we are going to be in a lot of games when we have poor shooting nights

I like what I see from Carlton a lot This defense travels, so we are going to be in a lot of games when we have poor shooting nights The thing about 3 point shooting, is yeah we aren’t making many 3s but we aren’t attempting many 3s. Until teams can keep us out of the midrange and paint we aren’t going to jack 3s. Are we a poor 3 point shooting team or just a team that scores better at other levels? We won’t find that out until a few teams go more zone against us. Edited November 18, 20241 yr by Rickylovesweed

We won’t find that out until a few teams go more zone against us. Not just zone, but when we encounter teams who can match our size and neutralize our inside game of Jones/Oldacre. Our guards are going to have to hit outside shots to soften up the inside. WV has 6'4, 6'3, 6'3, 6'3 up front, so that will be a good first test ND has 6'3, 6'5, 6'3, 6'4 up front Maryland has 6'2, 6'2, 6'2, 6'2, 6'3, 6'2, 6'6 up front And Texas has to contend with the likes of 6'3 Culliton, 6'4 Johnson, 6'2 Scott and 6'4 Beers at OU, 6'5 Wolfenbarger, 6'6 Del Rosario, 6'1 Morrow at LSU, 6'3 Watkins, 6'3 Edwards, 6'5 Tac, 6'2 Kitts, 6'3 Feagan, 6'4 Dauda at South Carolina, 6'2 Gaston, 6'4 Milton, 6'5 Akinbalawa, 6'4 Scott, 6'5 Thurman at Auburn, etc.

November 19, 20241 yr 11am against Tarleton State tomorrow. It must be the AISD field trip game with screaming kiddos
November 20, 20241 yr Texas ins 83-41 Not much of a 2nd half to write home about - 53 first half points, 30 second half points. But we only allowed 18 points in the second half, after 23 in the first half. 14 for Holle 11 for Harmon 25 for Booker 9 for Oldacre 7 for Preston
November 20, 20241 yr Boutillier is back in a walking boot like she was all last season. When you’re a 6’9” woman and 2XX pounds your joints aren’t going to allow you to play for long. She may never see the floor in college basketball

November 21, 20241 yr 20 hours ago, Js1 said: Retinal detachment, said someone on HF According to Vic during yesterday's post-game interview, Phelia was hit in the jaw during practice Tuesday so they kept her out of the game as a precaution. She should be good to go during their Thanksgiving tournament.
November 21, 20241 yr I think transfers have a bit of a culture shock coming here. It’s a different level physicality that they aren’t prepared for.

November 24, 20241 yr aggy is horrible. It will be interesting what aggy does with Joni Taylor at the end of the year. It's only been 3 seasons but it clearly isn't working out.
November 24, 20241 yr We should be challenged in the championship game at this upcoming tournament. WV is pretty good. They've been destroying everybody including a couple power conference opponents.

November 24, 20241 yr South Carolina will still be good but think people are coming to the realization of how good Cardoso was. Their offense ran through her last year.

November 25, 20241 yr aggy is dog water. Down 16 in the 4th quarter to Ball State. They have to be one of the worst power conference teams in the country.

Exhibit A of her being a meh hire was that she got Barker to follow her to aggy and then couldn't keep her there. Aggy NIL for WBB must be god awful. They've lost to TAMUCC by 6, WV by 21, Villanova by 8 and Ball State by 13. They still play 2 more P4 teams in non-conf - Syracuse and KState. They might be the worst in the SEC, and are currently dead last at 3-4 Kyndall Hunter has played in 7 games, started 1 - 5.7 ppg, 37% from the field, 28% from three, 1.6 rbg, 9 assists to 14 turnovers

Joni Taylor is 31-37 (8-24 in the SEC) at aggy. It's about to get worse this year. I don't know what her contract looks like but I see no way she's surviving past this season.

November 26, 20241 yr Congrats to UCLA on their first ever #1 ranking in this week's AP poll 1 UCLA 2 UConn 3 Notre Dame 4 South Carolina 5 Texas (down one spot, likely for not playing and voters not wanting to punish SoCar too much) 6 USC 7 LSU 8 OU 9 KSU 10 Maryland 12 WV (gonna be a big one assuming both Texas and WV make the champ game) 14 Kentucky 18 Ole Miss 23 Alabama RV: Vanderbilt, Tennessee
November 27, 20241 yr OU loses to Duke. They still don't play a lick of defense. Feels like that style of play has a ceiling (see 3 straight 2nd round exits in the NCAA tournament).
November 28, 20241 yr Kentucky made a really good hire. Kenny Brooks can coach. This is who aggy should have hired.
November 28, 20241 yr I'm interested to see what happens with Crooks after this season. Iowa State is never going to be anything more than a sweet 16/round of 32 type team. Could you imagine Crooks with this team next year? My guess is several teams will try to buy her after this season. We should be one. Edited November 28, 20241 yr by Rickylovesweed
November 29, 20241 yr Gaston hit the go-ahead game winning 3 pointer for Auburn today. When did she become a 3 point shooter lol

November 29, 20241 yr I would expect us to utilize the bench a lot in these first 2 games of this tournament. 3 games in 3 days.
November 30, 20241 yr Moore benched early again in this one. I don't know how much longer you can keep her in the starting lineup. That big lineup is not working with her.
