Losing to Louisville in the sweet 16 isn’t something to go crazy about. Louisville one of the most consistent programs the last 10-15 seasons or so. Just have to recruit better and install a better offensive system

We were playing without Jordan horston one of the top players in the country…. Could you imagine the men playing without Kennedy chandler?

I mean when you invest millions upon millions in one and a buck fifty in the other what the hell do you expect? The disparity is even worse if you consider the investment from grade school onward.

Thats a woke answer. They aren’t as good and are slow. Larry Bird practiced on dirt.

Flipped it from Womens game to Mens game. The sports are in two different universes

Seriously though, it's like people asking for 1950s basketball again...fundamentals...jump shots...less athleticism...

You either enjoy the fundamentals and simplicity or not. It's a different brand and style. It can be frustrating to watch at times, but it is what it is.

The 90s and 2000s teams were definitely more watchable. They scored at ease. Holdsclaw...Tamika...Kara...Candice...etc they scored at will. We're missing that stud. Ofc our injuries this year hurt A LOT too.

Even if Cedrick was a bad WR there'd be a good chance he'd win that competition with the system CJH runs. People can say it's NIL or whatever else but if you're a QB or WR you have to love what you see when it comes to our offense.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Somebody educate me. How's this team look going into next year?

I know we have the transfer - just how good is she? How's the incoming recruiting class/people we return?

Well, we know Holdsclaw is great and Sameka Randall will be a lot better, but the real question mark is Tamika Catchings. . . some believe she is over rated, but we'll see. . .

Oh. What did Penny say?

He didn't say anything, but he played an ineligible player and thumbed his nose at the NCAA after they said the player was ineligible

 

[Devo182]

The transfer led the league in scoring at Miss. State. Transfer starting PG from Minnesota. I think one high school commit, and she was highly recruited.

Does Key have another year? She seems our only dominant big.

I didn’t mean that as a negative comment Meant it as it isn’t anything to go all negative and crazy about

Ok..If I could take real pain killers, I wouldn't need it.

I have patients that Kratom works better than narcotics. I do have to explain the dangers of mixing.
We check for Kratom in our government mandated drug screens for patient safety. I don’t have a problem with it. Same with illicit drugs or alcohol and narcotics. Very bad things can happen with polypharmacy…

Vandy lost to SCAR again today as well.

Thats a woke answer. They aren’t as good and are slow. Larry Bird practiced on dirt.

And that's an assumption and rather silly response. We don't invest in women's sports and then y'all whine when the product suffers. Larry Bird was a generational player in a generation of super-stars but how he practiced is irrelevant. He's the exception that proves the rule. However, in general the more time and money invested in something the better it gets. Yeah, some like Bird can just use dirt. Most everyone else needs support, coaching, equipment, weight training.

The differences in men and women are always going to exist. No one's arguing that but the athletic training matters as does coaching and equipment. Ask anyone who has ever played any sport. Raise the bar across the board and women's sports will get better. And if it's that you only enjoy watching the best of the best, I don't understand why you bother with college sports at all.

What does Prof's comment have to do with black social issues?

Afaik just as similarly high a % of NCAAM are black as NCAAW.

 

[VolGee4]

Does Key have another year? She seems our only dominant big.

Yes.

 

[Kristy*]

Does Key have another year? She seems our only dominant big.

She does. She can block shots. But she is so slow and looks like Uros shooting layups.

 

[Rishvol]

Green was 3x better than Key but she got hurt. That's when the season started going downhill. Then Horston got hurt and I'm honestly surprised they made it to the Sweet 16

Lol Andy lost the series to South Carolina

Ain't nothing but a reaction to my username. I've thought about changing it more than once because it causes some folks to come at me with a set of assumptions and issues they want to work out.

It’s style of play.

 

[UTProf]

It’s style of play.

It can be for sure but style is often dictated by talent and development and those things are related to the investments we make early on as well as within programs (UT invests in WBB so it's a bit of an exception). When women's teams suck we always say it's fundamental ball. But when we had players like Holdsclaw and Candace Parker no one worried about style of play. That was good basketball.

Sounds promising!

Just get healthy...add transfers. It really sounds like this should be a top 10 team next year.

Another UT Big-4 sport on the brink

Green is a graduate so it will be Key next year

My daughter introduced me to sedecordle.com today - it’s 16 words. It’s ridiculous. I got 14 right before running out of moves.

Got all 16.

Must make me a genius moran or a moranic genius. Not sure.
