Is it alright if I say I wish we had humiliated them even worse? I'm not criticizing today's performance. I'm just wishing we had left them with even less dignity. I have ACC/Big Four-level hatred for them. If anyone objects, I'll be happy to scrub the post.

Alabama up on LSU, but it's still 1st half play....

#2 Iowa and #4 Colorado lost today, to Nebraska and Oregon State, respectively. We just keep chugging along. We could lose 1 or 2, and STILL deserve to remain #1 in the polls....
Oregon State team is putting it all together and they have a lot of size. They just may come out of nowhere and take that conference championship. I don’t know who wants to play them right now .

CDS spoke to this post-game. She knows, but her ideas of team harmony -- which are usually spot on -- might have Watkins coming off the bench.


I don't know... I took it to mean she might start. Not sure how she could have a bigger role without starting. She already averages more minutes a game than Kitts, and I doubt Dawn meant taking minutes from Cardoso.

Just think, they'll be relegated to the backwaters of college sports just months from now.
Oregon St and Washington St still retain the rights to the name Pacific Coast Conference. But, yeah, that would be like ZZ Top with only the drummer remaining. Definitely a downgrade.

COLUMBIA − UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma said this season's South Carolina team is much different than previous teams he has faced, following the No. 9 Huskies' 83-65 loss to the No. 1 Gamecocks on Sunday.

Auriemma, who has been the coach of UConn since 1985 and has won 1,200 games and 11 national titles, complimented the pressure the Gamecocks' defense plays with.

"Their style of play is different, not just their depth is different, but their style of play is different," Auriemma said. "They're able to keep the pressure on because they can bring more bodies off the bench."

South Carolina's defense was impressive in its win over UConn (20-5). Coach Dawn Staley's team held UConn to its second-lowest point total this season. The Gamecocks (23-0) also held the Huskies to 36% field-goal shooting and 30% from 3-point range.

Brazil lost its 3rd game this weekend. Carolina has only lost 3 games in Cardoso's 3 years here.

I took it as she wasn't saying who the starter would be in in a post game presser. Either way - Kitts or Watkins as the starter - it is pretty evident that Dawn thinks a lot of Watkins' game. And, like the LSU game, when it is crunch time, I suspect the nod goes to Watkins.

They may not care who starts since they all play. That’s if they are wanting revenge and are a team working together.

It's a shame to go out like that. I guess Kamilla understands more German than #0 was aware Kamilla knows. Anyhow, that girl pushed her button.
I hope CDS does her coaching job to get her to forget and get back to playing her game at USC as usual.

That player was a starter on Oregon's 2019-20 team. So it was probably English and right in Kamilla's ear. I've never seen her angry like that before. She usually has a smile on her face.

If she was going to assail Kamilla, she should have used an unknown tongue. On the other hand, she got her out of the game.

Just watched the replay of the game, and didn't realize until the Dawn interview before the 4th Qtr., that Olivia Thompson and a blonde Brea Beal were sitting together behind the bench for the game. They had to be appreciating the red hot 3-pt. shooting of TeHina and Tessa, as well as the stout perimeter defense from Raven, Milaysia, and Bree.....

In this pursuit, it isn't the low-hanging fruit, it's the best available.
They have an opportunity to reshape and rebrand the PAC 12. One of the major issues was travel. The league was too spaced apart. There are some schools that they can attract. San Diego State, Fresno State, The Dakotas, Wyoming.

Quote from today’s ’Power’ rankings article in ’The Athletic’ :

“The curse of the No. 2 ranking continues. After I waxed poetic on the virtues of NC State’s season last week, the Wolfpack lost their first game at full strength, proving no match for two-time ACC player of the year, Virginia Tech’s Elizabeth Kitley. The AP’s second-ranked team didn’t fare much better, as Iowa had a bewildering fourth quarter in Lincoln and blew a 14-point lead to the Cornhuskers. Colorado didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to move up; the Buffaloes were down by 25 at home to Oregon State before mounting a futile fourth-quarter comeback.

Perhaps the second-best team in the country is the one that sits on South Carolina’s bench”


Happy Monday Gamecocks.

Can’t stop laughing at this quote from Geno post game,
“In the second half, we fixed a bunch of things, and I think it was like a four-point difference in the second half. We kind of got a bunch of things squared away but it might have been a little too late.”

No you didn’t fix anything!! You were down 25 after 3 quarters!! You cut it to 18 because we let off the gas.

HVL played only 20 minutes yesterday. Poa played 30, including most of the 2nd half. It was close to a 30 point swing between halves. HVL just couldn't stay in front of anyone on defense.
Hey wanted to send you some info, but was unable to on the conversation link
