Very disappointing .....

Has Meagan Simmons ever passed the ball? I mean really - has she ever gotten an assist?

They all looked like an all freshman team. You can say all you want as most have said talent is a big part, but heart is the best thing to have they were scared to death of Louisville bull---- they had one all-american how many did we have= it's motivation!

Give them props for dancing, though I would trade a men's tourney appearance for a women's Elite 8.

I am not sure this outcome messed up anyone's brackets.

Just relieved the season's over after too many disorganized, unmotivated performances. Hmmm...I recall thinking the same thing after the men's season...football, too. On to spring practice with Butch's Big Orange Gang!

I have never seen that many lay ups and court length passes in the same game. Really hard to watch the lack of adjustment.

No Doubt Time for a contract extension and RAISE

Simmons wants to be the person doing the scoring she doesn't care much for defense. In the first five minutes of the game she had four turnovers and three ugly shots. She does have moments when she is our best player but when she is bad she is really bad. She is hit or miss and with one year left I doubt she ever learns to play on the defensive end like she needs to for this team to go far. That goes for Massengale,and Burdick as well none of the three can play decent defense. I look for Carter and Tucker to take their jobs because those girls play serious defense for every minute they are in the game.

Still was a good season for them & looking forward to next season

The players that aren't playing are always better than those who are playing.

I know but as far as defense goes both are considered better defenders than Massengale and Simmons of course on offense certainly not.
