Yes, I think LSU will beat them. I think Kimmy will beat them by 15-20 points.

I think USCjr would beat them four out of five games. Basically, with all those rebounds, they just choked on the putbacks. Dawn had a bad night coaching on the defensive end; and, her panic stressed out Boston and shooters.

I don’t even know what a “GWH agenda” is, but if you think 28 PPG and on the cusp of winning a national title is “alright” then it’s doubtful we’d agree about her value. She’s setting some ridiculous statistical records. That’s a lot more than “alright.”


And as I also said, she’s got the attention of the men’s basketball subreddits (and I don’t mean faint praise, I mean full attention), and they’ve been namedropping her even on the pro sports shows. If she wins today, she’s going to be the face of the college game. If you think that’s typical, well, good luck to you with that.

What record did she set against Georgia and we can name many who has set statistical records and what part of present hype didn't you understand? Whether Sabrina I , Breanna , Maya ,or Candace there's always some ONE every year that tickle our fancy . Next year it may be Edie Darby. No we don't agree about her. I've seen too many better. Ten to one she doesn't survive the WNBA.
PS .Now if she get drafted by the NBA then I may think different.

I’m sorry, but you cannot get credit for national championship you did not win. Many favorites wind up not winning the national championship. Only 24 out of 37 champions were even a one seed. I do understand South Carolina hung a banner trying to take credit for the “should have won” one, but that is pretty sad.

She’s obviously a good recruiter, and loads her team with great players. This year‘s team is a prime example. She has at least five future WNBA players. However, she was clearly outcoached and lost to a team that did not have close to the talent as she did. Her lack of in game adjustments probably cost them the game.

It is actually possible to be successful without being an excellent in game coach. This year‘s team could literally have beat some teams with no coaches on the bench with sheer talent alone. Look at some of the comments above who also questioned her in game coaching.

I think Oregon fans would dispute the "win" that was lost due to Covid. And we don't even have a banner.

"What kind of record did she set against Georgia?" Are you seriously dogging her 22 point, 12 assist game against Georgia as some kind of evidence that she's ... what? Not a great player? 22 points, 12 assists, in what was granted one of her poorer shooting performances this year. So yeah, 22 and 12 was a "bad game" for her. And you're dismissing her play her over that state line. That's ridiculous.

"We can name many who have set statistical records." That completely misses any of the point I was making, which I get since you're opposed to Clark, but here's an example of what I meant by stats. From ESPN, who posted this yesterday -

"Caitlin Clark has 161 points and 52 assists in this NCAA Tournament. Since 2000, it's one of six instances of a player having 150 points and 50 assists in ANY 5-game span. All six of those belong to Caitlin Clark."

Also five triple doubles this year. Sixth player in history to break 1000 points in a season. Back-to-back 40 point games in the 2023 NCAA tournament. But yeah, she's all hype.

I don't know what it is about Clark that pisses you off so much, but you'd best get used to seeing and hearing about her because you're gonna see and hear about her all of next season. I don't even care that much about the player outside of general awareness, but good grief, her impact is obvious.

Funny that you focus on my side comment projecting that she could have potentially won a third NC and not the two NCs (2017 and 2022) she actually won. Maybe you should double check yer "facts" before posting an uninformed rant.

And don't forget the cumulative 12 SEC titles and her numerous COACH OF THE YEAR AWARDS. The your idea that being able to recruit and blend players into a cohesive unit for over a decade does not qualify as good coaching is about as informed as your count of Dawn's number of national championships.

"She can't coach, she just has better talent" is what people use to say about CPS back in her heyday and they would always point to a specific loss where CPS did not make a successful "in game adjustment" as the reason. That was dumb and this rant on Dawn Staley is much the same.

So, if you gave ask an AD who they would rather hire: Coach A who can recruit and utilize the best players and win or compete for an NC and engage the fan base or Coach B "who is good at in game adjustments" but who is inferior Coach A on all other points, who do you think gets hired?

BTW, Stanford had tons of talent too and they did not make it of the first weekend. Tara did not make the necessary in-game adjustments which is simply another way of saying she lost. That happens even to the best of teams and coaches.

Heh, come on now. You started an entirely separate thread just to make more points about Clark. If you’re not pissed about all this Clark business, then you are at the very least irritated by it.

But, you’ll be free of her after today and we can all rest easy. *thinks* For a few months anyway. Never can tell with ESPN.

It is funny how many people on SC boards and social media are all taking credit for that third national championship that they did not win. It’s pretty sad when you hang a banner for a weekly ranking. However, when you’re begging for accreditation, that is what you do.

As far as my other comments, I will stick to my comment about her not being a great in game coach. She had A’ja Wilson for four years, and Aaliyah Boston, and a really good supporting cast, for four years and won one with each group. And, if I was going to play your “Could have, should have, would have“ childish game I could say that UConn pummeled them during the year of their first championship, and IF not for a fluke game against MSU, UConn would have pummeled them again. However, I don’t live in the fantasy world of what could have been. I guess when you root for a team with eight or 11 national championships you do not have to beg for invented accomplishments.

Having a bad day?

But what fantasy world ? South Carolina, with Dawn at the helm, has one two NCs. Feel free to keep spinning yourself in circles trying to disparage that achievement.

You are really obsessing on a trivial conjecture about a possible outcome. Again 2NCs, 12 SEC titles and multiple coach of the year awards are the actual items on Dawn Staley's resume.

Anyway, my sense of self is not dependent on the accomplishments of college sports teams that I watch for entertainment. So, keep shaking your first at the wind if it makes you happy.

The officials are an embarrassment to the women’s game. The skill has been the best in a long time and their quick whistle eliminates the stars. Bizarre.

I almost never have a bad day. The last one I remember was when I fell down Rocky Top and injured myself. That was well over a year ago. But, thanks for your concern.

I would disagree with that statement. She has not one two championships.

I just think it’s hilarious that South Carolina is so desperate craving acknowledgment that they’re hanging up banners that no other college in the country would consider doing. Next time I am at TBA I will check and see how many banners they have hanging up for being ranked number one, when they didn’t actually win the national championship. Still pretty sad. Of course, I also thought it was hilarious how many people claimed that the only reason South Carolina lost yesterday was because of the refs.

And a sidenote, I don’t usually respond to such trivial personal attacks, but I think I would be happy to compare my life résumé with anybodies. I don’t even own a shirt/jersey from a sports team that I did not play for, so your incorrect conjecture about getting my self-worth from a sports team might be a tad bit off.
