  1. Well crap. Misses the rest of her rookie year and the Olympics. Women and the goddamn ACL tears, that's a full year gone for her. Who do we put on the 3 on 3 team now?
  2. The women's game is played below the rim and is similar to the NBA prior to all the dunking and hyper athleticism. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea. I suggest you just don't watch it, but if you want to try and get into it watch Rori or Maddie on the UT women's team. You can get excited cause it's UT vs Aggie or whatever, and can watch some great players showing off a lot of heart and some remarkable skills.
  3. "Sources tell me Cameron Brink walked out of Mohegan Sun arena with no assistance, no ice, and no visible brace (but she was wearing long pants). Hopefully that’s good news, but Curt Miller did say post game she’d be evaluated tomorrow. " Still some concern of a possible ACL injury. Hopefully not, she has been playing well and significantly adds to this rookie class.
  4. Becky's crew has really been struggling without her. Quite a drop-off from last year, will be interesting to see if they vastly improve with her back. Need to get Gray in game shape before the Olympics as well.
  5. I remember it like it was yesterday. "After SMU's 82-79 loss to Texas on Feb. 28, losing coach John Shumate, irate because a foul was not called against Texas on a close play in the closing seconds, gave his Longhorn counterpart, Tom Penders, a hard hand slap instead of a shake. Penders was left with a jammed thumb but no hard feelings. "They tell me I'll be able to bowl by Monday," he said."
  6. Real question / not attacking / would like to hear your opinion. Why is Clark getting all this when those before did not?
  7. Did anyone ever figure out who visited over the weekend? Everybody getting sneaky these days.
  8. I'd be feeling far more confident with another big or two. Moore and Jones are certainly a good starting point but we need depth, thankfully Vic and the staff are obviously attempting to address the issue. Hopefully, the guard challenges we faced from not being successful in the portal last year, will light a fire to address our big girl needs for 2024-2025
  9. Total of two with Shaylee gone. But we added one for Harmon so...
  10. I'm not either, but definitely some surprises again this year. Would be nice to not have players that come to the team recovering from injury. I'm hoping we end up with a bench full of players Vic trusts to play. Hate playing these deep teams while half our bench never gets out of warm-ups. Do we pick up another player with Maul leaving?
  11. Dammit. Didn't see this coming. Had Codio, Jak, Amina and Maul as possibilities but not DeYona. We're not alone in this and we've got to expect it every year. The portal giveth and it taketh away.
  12. We had only 4 losses in the B12 this year. How hard is it going to be to replicate that in the SEC?
  13. Yep, it does. Lost her playing time to Moore, Gaston, and Jones but at least she came back for the tourney. You have to be pretty good for Vic to sign you up, but the talent level here is on the incline, so some of the young ladies have some tough decisions to make. Everyone wants to play, can't blame them.
  14. Holy crap. "Booker becomes the first freshman to win the award and the first UT player to win the award. " And we've probably got three more years of Madi's magic; stoked. 🤘
  15. If you are a famous public personality in the age of every jackass having a publicly visible voice, you will be criticized and probably threatened on some level. The more abrasive you are the more attacks you will receive. She is benefiting from her fame and suffering the consequences. Threats are never ok, but famous people need to expect and have a strategy to deal with it. It is coming. She certainly should express her emotional challenges and frustrations, no problem there. The issue I have is the context. It was the post-game interview in which the losing team typically says “we tried hard but failed to execute….give credit to the other assholes, they played well….we didn’t respond…. the refs fucked us….” whatever. And that’s it. It’s like “horns down”. Please do it all you want, just not in the good game handshake line. Angel’s maturity level had her change the subject entirely from the game and try to elicit sympathy for how hard it has been since “I” won the championship. She couldn’t own the loss, she tried to get everyone to feel sorry for her. Her road ahead will be hard if she doesn’t grow up quick.
  16. Now we go on portal watch. Who's leaving and who are our targets. Let the off season begin.
  17. Fuck I hate losing, hats off to NC State, they played great. Much better year than I expected after Rori went down. Add a quick scorer and next year will be ours. Thanks Ladies, Thanks coaching staff.
  18. That three killed our momentum, wide open look. Haven't played from behind much this year, need to get pissed.
