She's playing Boykin more so Plaisance and McKinney avoid foul trouble. Keeping Youngblood off the floor is important. If anything Harden should play more than Ballard.

Kenney has 4 fouls and Plaisance picked up two in a row.

Horrible team effort... Something's wrong... No leadership on the bench, on the floor... Looks like something is wrong internally and coaches have no solution/control over the situation

Nailed it. Watch on defense and then get the ball and jack up an off balance circus shot and hope it goes in.

It's been my opinion that Harden should've been the starter over Ballard at least three games ago. Ballard is not herself and Harden, if you'll notice, has started to get comfortable on this team. She's outplaying Ballard AND Moncrief. I think Nikki should start Harden, Kenney, Hill, Boykin, and Plaisance from here on out. I think that lineup gives us our best chance to be successful at this point.

It does look like a version of "pick-up" games except with officials who know whose gym they are in.

Talking about leaders on this team and who hasn't steped up to lead. I always thought leadership could start with the head coach and starters follow their lead. I just don't know.

It's a final...........

LSU 60
Alabama 78

Although our record doesn't necessarily reflect it, right now we're the worst team in the SEC...................and there's really no excuse for it.

I went to the game today and that was the most dominating performance I've seen all year by us. It looks like y'all only had two good players: #5 and the big girl that scored all the points.

She didn't shoot well but she was one of few that looked like she had a clue.

1 to 5 Assists to Turnover ratio. If you thought she played well you weren't watching clearly.

............about to listen to the postgame show on the Geauxzone. At this point, I'm not sure there's much Nikki can really say. I'm sure Patrick will make the best of the interview however.

I was definitely more focused on what we were doing, but like I said, her and the big girl were the only ones that looked like they had any semblance of what to do.

#5 and #55 were the two that put the most effort in and appeared to be good players

Sadly you are probably correct--LSU looks like the worst women's basketball team in the SEC at this time.

Not sure how the process works, but is it possible to send LSU to a different region--their play at the end of the regular season shouldn't merit a first round home game, even if it hurts the attendance figures?

They are graduating Plaisance and Kinney; who has she recruited to make it up? They were Van's players. Can anyone tell me what type of team is she wanting to build.

The reason nobody acts like they care, is because word on the street is Cladwell isn't happy and wants to move on. It may be bull, but she would have trouble with a high school team. Any AD would be foolish to give her the reigns of another big program.

I don't understand why she is having issues recruiting here, yet brought in top classes at UCLA

Huh? That rumor makes no sense. Why would she not be "happy"? She makes a good salary and gets tremendous support from the athletic department.Whoever started that rumor doesn't know what they're talking about.

Based upon having one mediocre season? Really?

I don't think she's having trouble recruiting. In fact, I think she's done a good job in that area. I'd like her to start pulling in more higher ranked recruits but, in the three seasons she's been here, she's done well recruiting. She's not been able to bring in the monster classes that Pokey was able to. But the classes haven't been bad.
