Maybe one of the tennis teams or swimming/track lol but as far as mainstream sports, you will get no argument from me.

Why the hell do we sprint to the other end of the floor before we even look to see if we can get a rebound?
I’m gonna get roasted for this but…
This team is either poorly coached or just has a piss poor basketball IQ

They are getting their brains beaten in. Most coaches just want to get out without any injuries. That would be my guess 🤷‍♂️

I’ve watched at least 3 instances where a girl turns her back to the basket, starts to sprint up the court and the ball bounces off the rim to the exact spot she was standing in.
Idc who you are or what style you play, that is not smart basketball

Uconn and South Carolina are the gold standard for basketball. It isn’t going to take just a couple of years of good recruiting. It’s going to take several years to consistently be competitive with them unfortunately.

It hurts us bc we will never have another Pat Summitt like coach to do all that.

In the NIL era, I disagree with this.

If we want to have a successful athletic department then most funds will need to be diverted to football and men’s basketball unfortunately. Those are the only sports that actually make a profit. The days of being elite in everything are dwindling unless you are one of the Texas schools with oil money. UConn is in a unique position because they don’t care about football so they can spend a lot more money on their basketball programs. South Carolina really only cares about football and women’s basketball at this point but once Staley decides to move on that will change. It’s just the way it is going to be until an enforceable CBA is agreed to.

I don’t know how you come back from this one.

I don’t think they were ever actually a team. Just a bunch of individuals playing for themselves. First game of the year told me all I needed to know.
