What an outstanding effort by Nikki Caldwell and her team today. Easily the biggest win of the season thus far.................and with our leading scorer not playing in the second half.
Where to start........?
Clearly Ballard, with 25 pts and 5 ast and 5 stls, showed why she was a preseason ALL SEC selection. UK had no answer for her.
Sheila Boykin, with 14 pts 11 reb...............as the lone senior, I love how she's playing. She's not an all SEC player but, she's defintely doing the little things and playing tough defense on the interior that this team DESPERATELY needs. Considering all that she's been through while here at LSU, I love seeing her contributing so much to this team.
Moncrief, looked great today on defense and the offensive end with 15 pts. Her ability to create off the dribble..........and now hitting her jump shots............gives us possibly the best 1-2 (and with Harden a 1-2-3 punch) punch at guard in the SEC.
I also liked what I saw from Jasmine Rhodes, Rina Hill and Jenna Deemer. They all are starting to look more comfortable as the season continues.
Now, I don't expect us to beat Tennessee on Thursday. However, every other game on the schedule is now winnable. We're 4-2 in conference and, with the way we're playing, I don't think a record anywhere from 11-5 to 9-7 is out of the question. Nikki is going to have to add a top notch recruiter to this staff. Once she does, with how hard her team plays and the style of defense, the sky will indeed be the limit in the coming years.

The woman can coach, as I have always said, and I honestly hope I'm wrong about where program is and is headed, but great win and real shot at NCAAs, from where we were a few weeks ago to today, congrats to coach, players etc. and fun game to watch, great win....
Now all fans, star showing up to these games, we need to get fan support back,

I think the sky is the limit with Caldwell. I really think this little period has been one of her best coaching jobs since she has been here. I am impressed with Boykins development. Rhodes should be seeing the court more. She is beginning to look more comfortable. Ayanna Mitchell is a talented and explosive post coming in next season. I expect her to make a significant impact. I am quite certain Caldwell will add a Juco player as well. Now, I think if we finish above .500 in SEC play, and have a successful run in the SEC tournament. This will be Caldwell's most impressive coaching turn around. I expect us to finish the season out strong with unknown post season possibilities. I think Caldwells next step is hiring a great recruiter with connections.
I think once Caldwell has players, we will be a top 15 team consistently. She does a great job of coaching and developing her players. I'm hopeful that things will get better
