re: The sportswriters love affair with Kim

She is a winner by all measurements. F the sportswriters who have never achieved anything.

This team is overrated, again. Their expectations are based on Kim's popularity alone.

You're overly retarded.

Typical Tiger “fans”. So quick to jump ship. 2 years ago Kim was the greatest and best thing ever for LSU WBB. Idiots

The fact that this board is consistently talking about Women's basketball is a testament to her work. I can't stand some of our fans sometimes.


They will inevitably turn on Jay. Mark it.

You would have had to be an idiot to look at that schedule and believe they would be prepared for SEC play.

And someone on here posted a couple weeks back that this was her most talented team at LSU.

People have short memories. They played a pre-conference schedule every bit this bad in the year they won the national championship, and only lost two games the whole year once they started playing real teams.

The problem isn't that the schedule didn't prepare them. The problem is that they are playing with a lack of either effort (as was the problem against Kentucky, when they just stood around and let Kentucky get to nearly every rebound) or focus (as was the issue in this game, where they made repeated unforced mistakes, just throwing the ball wildly into heavy traffic areas). When they actually lock in with effort and stop making mental mistakes, they can beat anyone. I mean, you're talking about being unprepared, and yet they've lost two games by a combined 6 points to teams ranked just outside of the top 10, who will both probably be in the top 10 now.

So let's stop acting like they started league play, and now they're getting their teeth kicked in. They've played two bad games, relative to what they are capable of, and could have easily won both games.

I'm irritated at the lack of effort, and the repeated mental mistakes. I'm making no excuses for them, because there is no excuse. But I'm also not buying into this "not ready" narrative. You can play a schedule of nothing but ranked teams, and it means nothing if you don't commit to showing up and playing the right way. Why was Fulwiley so bad against Kentucky? Why was Flau'jae so bad against Vandy? Aren't those two national championship winning players who have been on multiple deep NCAA tournament runs? Are they not tested? Are we really going to blame the schedule for their struggles?
