2024-2025 WBB Team (2022-present)
- Thread starter TN-Gamecock
- Start date
Masseyratings.com have us with a 81% winning percentage, and winning by 12 pts 73-61. Largely because it's in CLA: if it was a road game he'd probably have us winning by 4 -5 pts or so......
42-32 USC winning at half. We're keeping them in the game with poor free throw shooting.
I can see from Instagram that '24 post Blanca Thomas is at the game.
Well, at least the winning team got more highlights than the losing team on ESPN.com THIS Sunday.
I just accepted that every ESPN promo would be Aliyah Boston vs Angel Reese. That's how hype works. They couldn't note that Kamilla Cardoso, one of the top 4 centers in the country, would also be playing in the game. If the audience knew that, then they might suspect Carolina would win by 20+.
Kim Mulkey and LSU WBB disrespect America by refusing to be on the court for the national anthem. Did I get my faux outrage correct?
It was on SECN+. Viewable on your PC, phone, smart TV, or not-so-smart TV with a streaming device attached (e.g. Roku, Amazon Firestick)..

I love the way Cardoso has been playing the last six weeks or so. The lineup of her and Boston with the three guards on the floor at the same time is virtually unstoppable. She will be an integral cog in our run to the NC....
That's exactly what Dawn stated at the end of the first half.
Morris and Reese were just exhausted for the last 5 minutes of the game. Raven did not do well guarding Morris but they then rotated Fletcher, Beal and even Amihere. She took 29 shots.
Their Fr star Johnson was totally taken out of the game and Kateri Poole was soo frustrated.
Reese is a phenomenal athlete with an explosive first step but no moves.
Fox has a contract w/ BE. I can see them promoting "one of their own." it is disingenuous, however.Well, at least the winning team got more highlights than the losing team on ESPN.com THIS Sunday.
Dawn deserves credit: a lesser coach would have panicked and started trapping Morris when she got hot rather than stick with the game plan. Dawn always believes our depth will prevail in the end.
If we face LSU in the SEC tournament, it will be both teams 3rd game in 3 days, so depth will be a an even bigger factor.
That was a no doubter - ESPN giving credit where its due this time. Hard to throw any shade on that one!Well, at least the winning team got more highlights than the losing team on ESPN.com THIS Sunday.
And the fact that it is in Greenville. The overwhelming majority of fans will be Carolina fans.
Overall a good team win. Even the less heralded starters Fletcher/Saxton came up big defensively. Raven/Cardoso came up big off the bench and Boston proved again why she is the nation's best player. Brea Beal proved why she's pro ready and Zia had an efficient game against a top opponent. Hopefully this is only the beginning.
Should have been hard last week. Inexcusable. I'm not letting it go. My bitterness cannot be assuaged that easily.That was a no doubter - ESPN giving credit where its due this time. Hard to throw any shade on that one!

Guito was trying to manipulate upcoming officiating. He's greasy.Still seeing UConn ranting about the officiating
Seems to me that it was FOX, not ESPN, playing up the Huskies.That was a no doubter - ESPN giving credit where its due this time. Hard to throw any shade on that one!

As we were standing in line to get in the game, police made a path for a bus to come through the blocked off street. Officer told us to make way as the bus was filled with possible recruits coming to see the game. Of course we cheered and wave, and a bunch of young women on the bus waved back.
It appears it was a very organized recruiting effort yesterday

In conference play, Cardoso has the highest Player Efficiency Rating in the league. Boston and Reese are tied for 2nd.
To be fair, Cardoso plays fewer minutes than Boston and much less than Reese so she doesn't have to play through fatigue. Regardless, how can she not be all-conference?
I think Reese's chances of winning NPOY took a huge hit yesterday. LSU was -26 with her on the floor. I know the award shouldn't come down to one game, but LSU's schedule doesn’t give her many other opportunities on a big stage.
Reese is probably still the favorite for SEC POY. She's only shooting 43% in conference play; Aliyah shoots 60%. But there's so much talent around Boston, she probably won't win it.
Do coaches vote on the award or the media? I can't imagine Reese is very popular around the conference with players and coaches. It's kind of a shame that Boston may only win one SEC POY considering how dominant she's been over the last 4 years.
Yesterday, at halftime of the Mizzou/Arkansas game, the Tigers had 13 points and 14 turnovers. I was in awe at how terrible they looked on offense.
Pingeton must have the hottest seat in the SEC. I believe she has a year left on her contract, so she may get another year.

Boston will win the SEC POY. Reese' numbers will not matter, voting usually is a holistic decision and the early season schedule is being noticed by the media voters as to her viability. Most looked at this game to determine if she could take the award from Boston and she failed miserably. She had only 7 pts and 4 rebounds when Dawn went primarily to the bench. This was her litmus test and Boston showed that she will be POY. Her defensive and offensive impact in two consecutive Sundays against top 5 opponents were huge statements .
They started 14-2 and 3-0 in SEC play including a win vs Bama. Then the bottom just dropped out.
The debacle with Blackwell, Ladhazia, and two others players over her very uneven discipline last year doomed this team. It didn’t help when Sophie called some of the players out on Twitter.
The game within the game
Coach Dawn normally clears the bench when the game is well in hand. She doesn’t care if the other team leaves in their starters or not.
Well not yesterday! She waited until LSU pulled their starters first, with about a minute to play. Wasn’t going to let them cut into the margin and make it look closer than it really was.
