We overmatched them, of course, but very nice win. Zya had a career high 19 points and was very smooth. After the game on the TV broadcast, Jennie said that there's all these stars on the team who are at the top of every opponent's scouting report, but Zya is the one that makes us go. When she...

ASU not only relied heavily on transfers.... they only returned ONE scholarship player form last year, and he enrolled midseason. It was a complete overhaul and they still destroyed us.

I'm a bit surprised this thread is mostly doom and gloom after the MD-ES game. It seemed pretty obvious to me that, coming out of our game against NC St, our focus was improving on the defensive end, and our defensive communication + movement felt MUCH improved (yes, I know the competition was...

I have done the math on our 9 games this season, and we are -5 in first halves and +88 in second halves. It’s unreal how unprepared we start games night in and night out. I suppose credit is due to halftime adjustments but in the SEC (and vs Gonzaga & ASU), we’re gonna be in too big of holes to...

I fully agree with 04 that exceeding expectations and winning games help me digest a lot of Mateer's mistakes easier. And a big reason for this team's success is that the chemistry is great, and John is the glue for that on the offensive side. Players and coaches have repeatedly talked about...

They did hit a buzzer beater to beat Memphis. Pretty wild (and random) that we haven't played a true road game against an ACC opponent since 1995, per Toby.

The 3 that ORU banked in with 2 seconds left was very significant to some…

There was a TON of subbing tonight and I think that was for 3 reasons: 1. Letting the freshmen/sophomores play and impact games before they are decided 2. Seeing different combinations/letting people play and guard a variety of positions 3. Were in the middle of 4 games in 6 days and Jennie...

Chavez has the keys to the car. Jennie trusts her. She’s getting good shots and they aren’t falling. Hopefully they start falling soon. Agreed that we have no depth. Both Belmont and UCLA have gone on runs when we start subbing. Seems like Jennie is intentionally throwing the freshmen into the...

I reaaaaaally wish Kneepkins was a sooner

Those two fouls within 30 seconds of each other (both on the offensive end) were unfortunate. The game has been called much tighter in the 2nd quarter and Raegan was a victim of that. She’s going against the greatest defensive center in the country. I don’t expect her to have 20 points...

Man, 4 mins into the game, we blocked one of their shots out of bounds off UCLA but they got the call wrong and let them keep the ball. And Chavez picked up her 2nd foul on the inbounds play. Just a minor missed call by the refs but leads to our starting PG having to sit for 16 minutes. Great...

It’s been a trait of all of Jennie’s teams here to have what I call a “clunker quarter” in nearly every game — one quarter of poor play on both ends of the floor where it feels like everything snowballs for a while. That was the 3rd quarter tonight. Thankfully, they responded very well and were...

Jim Root knows his stuff nationwide; I've been listening to his podcast (Three Man Weave) for years. I don't think any of that is out of touch. Sure, he could've mentioned Rogers, but I think a true freshman being the only true center backing up Wague certainly qualifies as "shaky as best". Root...

This thread took a turn, so I didn't read every post; Forgive me if this was brought up before... This is very promising! TTU is legit, and it seems like Porter brought in a lot of solid pieces. However -- I'm a bit alarmed that Toppin went off for 29 points. He's very, VERY good (B12 POY good)...
