Shot 38% in conference play and had more turnovers than assists. She sucked. Dribbles the air out of the ball with no plan

Individually, how many women’s teams had a more talented big 3 than Morrow, Fla’jue & Williams? The team was even more talented last year with the same 3 + Angel & Van Lith


Couldn’t be more wrong

UConn has a team with 3 number one recruits and nothing but McDonald’s AAs. UCLA team has a 6’7 giant with 4 of the top 6 players from Flau’Jae class. SC may not have that “star” player but collectively it’s a team of 9 McDonald’s AA who wear you down in waves


Kim is a great coach but the offseason additions really didn’t upgrade much although Defense at PG spot was a little better. We went from Angel Reese to Samayah and HVL to SDW. We had a core 3 with sporadic play from rest of supporting cast. We have some outstanding freshmen on the way. If Kim nails the portal right like she did a couple seasons ago they will be back making a run for a final four again


a natty and 2 elite 8 in last 3 years is still great

About?

All three of them could get 25 a game as a lead dog on a team. There was no order or hierarchy when they played together.

Gilbert was the lead scorer at AZ and never adjusted in her role at lsu.

Who is responsible for building the team and making it work?

LSU in SEC play had 145:239 Ast:TO. It kind of crazy they got to 12 wins looking at this number, but it shows you they were just overwhelming teams with raw talent.


UConn on the year functioned at a 2:1 ratio.


Kim knows you win titles with top end talent. SHe has had top end talent, but she just has not had the right cocktail the last two years. You dont need 8 all americans cause the fact is, the best players are going to go from playing 30mpg to playing 35-38mpg in these deep tournament games.

They've been doing this for decades. Why do you think they hired a state governor as NCAA president?

Really is sad. NIL has made college sports less and less interesting. Needs to be some kind of framework ASAP.

The reason Vanderbilt dominated college baseball.



Are you speaking of a specific decade? Because South Carolina won the same amount of Championships in the same decade Vandy won their two, and they were 5 years apart.

Just curious as when Vanderbilt ever “dominated” college baseball.

5 national championships in a decade is “dominating”

So fighting every lawsuit brought against them while continuing to beat the decades old reasoning of amateurism was being proactive? Not mention knowing the fact they would eventually lose those cases in court.

They have also been lobbying Congress for federal legislation the whole time. Do you think billion-dollar organizations obsessively pursue just one strategy at a time? Or do you think they tackle major issues from many different angles?

Professional athletes cannot even do what these “ college “ “athletes “ are getting away with .

The NCAA didn't cry for help until after they lost badly in the court system.

Not true (unless you mean after the Board of Regents case in the 1980s).

I've been saying this
All the portal takes could've been much better. They had no lead guard. I will say other teams seem to be better coached on the small things.

It's almost like mikalyah and flaujae freestyle too much. Kim better get some shooters. That was a huge weakness imo from watching a handful of games.
