We're basically 20 point underdogs, so I'm not expecting much, but we got chips and a chair so who knows.

The SEC has performed ridiculously well in this year's tournament. 10 teams made it.

SEC went 9-1 in the 1st round with the only loss being Vandy in OT.

Currently, the league is 6-2 in the 2nd round with the only losses being Kentucky in OT and Alabama in 2OT.

Sam has done a good job this year. Hopefully they're competitive.

Maybe we can settle down. We definitely can’t run up and down the court with them.

I see we are the sacrificial lamb for Juju. They haven't missed a shot have they ? And we haven't made one.

Sam getting on the Bob Odenkirk ref about the missed calls. Good.

Juju’s down. She looks like she’s in a lot of pain.

It's got to be super awkward for Purcell to tell the team "This changes everything and now you can win," but it's obvious that our team wasn't in the right headspace and needs to flip a switch.

IMO, he has. Is he a Vic, not yet and might not ever be, but they are still playing.
I dunno. Outside of talent, I don’t feel like we’re any better now than we were when he started. I don’t feel like we’ve progressed since the beginning of the year. We’re still doing the same streetball sнit we’ve been doing. We still can’t hold on to the ball.

Women’s college basketball, there’s really no sense in playing if you don’t have a “superstar”. The disparity in fouls being called is night and day.
Obviously it doesn’t help that we can’t make any kind of shot. And it seems they haven’t missed an open shot.

Or not. This is the 2016 UConn game redux.

There aren't a lot of superstars in the women's game. A few teams can monopolize the top talent

Nobody even went for the rebound on the missed free throw. WT17

Well, we got eight points in the first quarter and kept them below 30... just barely.

They absolutely could not miss it. It sure would have landed in the basket if they had tried bouncing the ball harder off the court.

USC’s defense looks legit. We can’t even get off a decent shot. Forcing a whole lot of spots
