I’m so tired of you “we’re fine don’t worry” pumpers. Fact is, our ppg and shooting % suck. Edwards looks like a freshman. She looks just like the other stars we’ve had, but she’s no Juju Watkins or Hidalgo. So far she’s looked okay. Fulwiley still looks bad…Kitts, Tessa, and Paopao look VERY pedestrian. Breezy is regressing, and Sakima Walker is not SC material. Tell me where I’m wrong.
No, the team is not running on all cylinders and we lost a game. The problem is that all UCLA gets for that win is a congratulations. Sort of like Kentucky got when they beat us in the 2022 SEC Tournament. At this point, our program is built around the hope of winning 6 games in March. Further, none of our players will get the minutes to put up numbers like a Watkins or Hidalgo. So, I don't know how individual performances are even relevant to what we have going on here. We have some players struggling right now. It happens. They are human. However, they are champions and how much faith can you really have if one early season road loss can shake your belief in them turning it around.
Agree, gotta call it like it is.
I'm willing to just let the season play out and we end up where we end up. Although we ended up with an undefeated season last year, we were sort of rough in December during the UNC and Duke games. Just got out of there with victories. We have time to build. We will win plenty of games to have a good seed for the tournament. From there, it turns out how it turns out.
