Well, it wasn't pretty but we can take some positives away from losing to the #1 team in the SEC on their home floor. The first half was a complete failure. However, I LOVE the way the ladies competed in the second half. We actually "won" the second half 42-38. We don't have the interior to deal with the 3 girls they had that were 6'5". But our ladies did battle. Our guards certainly held their own...............which really isn't that surprising. But their superior size and depth were too much.

Offensively, this was the most balanced I think we've been in quite some time.......

Ballard 16 pts 12 reb
Boykin 14 pts 12 reb (I'm really loving her game!)
Pedersen 11 pts
Moncrief 10 pts 5 ast
Hill 9 pts

Here's the video highlights......

Geaux Tigers!

Now its time to start a new streak. We can still finish in the top four teams in the conference, and get the SEC tournament first round bye.

Not surprising just brush it off and spend the next week getting ready to sweep the last 4. Arky and OM on the road might be tougher than UGA who's fallen off a cliff. It's not crazy that they might miss out on the tourney altogether now. If they lose to us and UT and in their 1st game of the SEC tourney they'd be 2-8 in their last 10 and they've only got one good win on their schedule(A&M).

The way things are shaping up down the stretch
MSU might have only one more loss (@ S. Carolina). UK is up one game but they've still got USC and UT left but we also need them to beat A&M.
A 3-1 finish probably keeps us in the top 4 but 2-2 we'd need some big upsets.

I liked our ball movement, if Rina Hill and Pederesen can be consistent with the outside jumpers we are pretty deadly. I thought this game showed the what this team lacks badly. Great post play. Boykin is solid but we need another big girl who is athletic, taller and can score. South Carolina was killed us rebounding the ball. Got so many second chance opportunities. Last year we had the luxury of having Plaissance and McKinney, they were great rebounders. I think we are missing the last key piece. I really hope Ayanna Mitchell will step up next season. Caldwell will always add someone else as well to this class. I am most interested in seeing who she will hire after the season. I think this next hire will be one of the more critical decisions here at LSU. If she can hire a BeBe for basketball this will be a consistent top 15 program. We should be Geogria next week. I think 10 wins and a win in the SEC tournament has us in

I think coach Caldwell is doing a good job coaching, but the recruiting has to improve to restore this program to its former level.

Women's Basketball "Pumpers" and "Sand Headers." Lose by 24 and still making excuses for the blow out.

BTW, isn't the $900,000 woman in year 4 now?

Somebody needs to get on their hands and knees and beg Bob Starkey to come back.

This program is on the verge of crashing.

No more Vogue models for HC.

1st loss in 5 games and in 4th place in the conference but like clockwork the roaches reappear.

Blown out by UT & USCE. No height, horrible shooters, and Attitude Queens.

When is 4th good enough? Were no were near Final 4 caliber anymore.

I guess thats good enough for LSU.

Yeah, these folks are miserable fricks. They don't even care about the Lady Tigers and never congratulate them on a win. But as soon as they lose, here they come.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing.
Where were all these guys in the previous three threads when we were on the winning streak? I'm almost waiting for secman12 to show up.

A roach?

Please tell me how you can possibly be happy with our WBB team?

They are an afterthought in basketball now

Should the team be better? Yes.
Should Caldwell recruit better? Yes.
Am I going to shite all over them every time they lose a game? No I'm not.

The team just had a 4-game win streak and you roaches were nowhere to be found. They lose badly to the No. 2 team in the country and here you are.

Because about 78 people care about this underachieving program anymore

Well, clearly you're one of those "78 people" since you took the time to actually post on a thread about the team.

So, this is what it's come to as a fan base? Just like football, we can only complain about the losses but, we ignore the wins...........or winning streaks? Wow.........what a miserable existence that must be for those folks.

Personally, I love watching this team turn it around and get on the winning track. We started the season 7-7. Since that time we're 7-3, having knocked off three ranked teams in that time. THAT is something to be celebrated.........especially when you consider our best player missed the first 14 games of the season.
