The stats show a different story than what everyone is predicting. If we bring our “A” game we should win this one.
They have the home court advantage and they rebound better.IMG_9576.pngIMG_9577.png

Buzz Williams always has a tough team. I think this will be a close one throughout. If we happen to win by double digits I think it is because we pull away late.

I saw the other day Kellie Harper is 106-46 w/her time coaching the LVs team.
I don't think Danny White will be making changes w/her anytime soon.

No he won’t but we are never going to be better than the third best program in the SEC without an elite coach. We may sneak up and get 2nd place but nobody is topping South Carolina right now and LSU just won a national championship. So I guess it’s a question of do you want to compete for championships or are you alright being competitive most nights and the Sweet 16 will always be your ceiling?

The UFL that starts at end of April might be watchable by taking best teams from XFL and USFL.

It’s unwatchable because it’s a limbo league. They’re not talented enough to execute the complicated NFL systems, but still too talented for college offenses to be effective.

So nothing works lol

Dawn Staley at South Carolina is best coach in America in women's basketball.

She stacks 5* recruits like firewood year in year out.

We'll just have to deal w/it until they figure out a way to bring Pat Summitt back.

Nobody will ever be Pat. I’m not expecting anyone to be Pat. I just want our program to be among the elite like it rightfully deserves. We have gone from being the gold standard to a top 25ish program. We don’t have to win a championship every other year. Just win a SEC regular season championship every few years and get a national championship every decade and everyone will be happy. I don’t think that is too much to ask for considering the history Pat had with the program.

Thanks for posting what everyone knows already.
I'm not one these days to lose sleep over the fact of where the LVs are at this point in time. My attitude w/this is disappointment for sure but also ho-hum. Let's see what happens next year & the year after that. I hope we eventually get to where we were at some point in the past. But I don't know who the AD hires to put us back in that situation of greatness & where teams were in fear of playing us.
