Yeah, I got spoiled by the free throw shooting and defense the girls had when Vic was running the program, but I think we might be getting back closer to that level again. Our defense looked really good tonight.
The women are keeping it close so far with #9 LSU

Mjracle had 6 steals, but seemed like she was double digits. She harassed them all night.
This team has tremendous potential. Purcell brought in some serious help from the portal and they seem to finally be playing as a unit. Any of the top 7 players is capable of a big night as evidenced by Rogers tonight. She was absolutely vital.
It's a shame they lost Parker. Depth in the post is an issue.
Nice win ladies. Sulkey and Eyelash can slink back to the bayou with that L
So, you’re saying we didn’t have a sell out against Auburn? You know…the men’s second Top 10 win this season….
It was funny (not) when they reviewed jessika carters basket and nullified it 5 minutes after, but couldn't also see the clear foul on Reece in the same shot.
Anyone notice Reese shove her hand in Jordan’s face with 2:23 left in game? Nothing called even though 2 refs were staring right at them. LSU got the ball one second later on a jump ball.
Reese got away with murder the entire 2nd half while we got called for every ticky-tack foul imaginable.
They lost and they're losing money: "Women’s basketball—which won its first National Women’s Championship in 2023—posted a nearly $7.8 million deficit for 2023. The program collected just under $2.5 million in revenues for the year but the team’s expenses were closer to $10.3 million. The program’s costliest line item is for coaches salaries, with the school paying $4.4 million in coaches salaries and bonuses last year―nearly double what the program collected in revenue," https://thespun.com/college-hoops/report-lsu-womens-basketball-lost-a-ton-of-money
Ls-who is spending money on every sport like drunken sailors now that it's legal. Good to hear it's at least getting noticed by someone counting.
Nationwide Television Viewers. Both games were sellouts but there looked to be more butts in seats at women’s game. Lots of empty lower bowl seats at men’s game.

Spending money is how you win now. Rich southern men with disposable income love spending money on college sports. Who cares about deficits? "The report released this week by Louisiana’s Legislative Auditor’s office says the athletic department collected nearly $200.4 million for the 2023 fiscal year, while expenses totalled closer to $204.4 million—a roughly $3.9 million deficit." https://www.businessreport.com/business/lsu-athletics-operated-with-a-deficit-last-year
Those natty's cost money. Hell they've won them in 3 of the 4 major sports very recently and they were damn sure giving it the ole college try in MBB. They just picked a guy who didn't cheat quietly enough.
Since athletic success in the 4 major college sports helps drive interest in attending the university, investing in that success can be seen as a legitimately good decision, even if a report shows a financial loss for the athletics department.
^ this is not a new concept and has been shown to be true many times this century(Oregon, Bama, Butler, Gonzaga, VCU, AppState, Boise State, FGCU, and many more). Hell, its so common that there is a name for it- Flutie Effect.

I guess that was funny?...or not funny?
...it really shouldnt even be a second thought either way though since the rules for review dont work like that. You are upset about something that doesnt even exist. Do you want that to exist though? Do you want refs to go to the monitor and review plays from 5 min before and call fouls on MSU players well after the fact? That sounds like a terrible idea, not to mention- how would it ever even work to correct/rectify?
