yea, that’s tough but weren’t they in already anyways

Creme has them in first 4 out. Tight, but this would have guaranteed them a spot. They certainly deserve it more than a team like MSST.

@SCspur @Poultrygeist : Any word on LeLe Grisette's injury? Is she a "go" for the tournament?

heard she had surgery because she tore her ACL

wow

Seriously? Damn, that's a shame. She was in a walking boot during the SEC championship game. Had no idea it was more serious.

That's a big blow for SC. She was a versatile player that could sub for either of the forwards. Outside of Amihere, they don't have any bench options left. Starters will be logging a lot of minutes during the tournament.

Ooooohh NO ! Well there goes another banner they can’t put up ?

Well crap! I hate that. ACLs are the Bain of WBB.

 

[SCspur]

It’s her Achilles and not sure on the severity of it but I know she didn’t have surgery yet

If LeLe is done for the season it will definitely put extra pressure on everyone else. Brea and Victaria will have to step it up even more. That’s where we lack offensively at those spots and we will now need to them to be effective, efficient and consistent to go far. LA will have to step up big time.

Achilles anything is no good. I am so sad to hear that. Hope she gets back to 100% sooner rather than later.

Well, you made such cognitive points.

My wife tells me things like that, but it always sounds sarcastic when she says it.

Sad

 

[creekdipper]

Ain't that the truth.

 

[stlvolsfan]

Proud of her especially how she left Ucon and decided to stay home

Too bad she had to play two years under Aston. I despise Geno, but for Charli’s sake, she should have gone to UConn...and Sug Sutton should have been a Lady Vol.

The starting five at competitive schools practice against male practice players, not their teammates.

yes sometimes but not in covid years. but that doesn't change what i posted

 

[NeedOrange]

Maybe so, but I would think that players also like to play. Highly sought after players aren't coming to college to practice. I don't know if she's being recruited by these top schools as a bench depth or a valuable rotation piece, but if it's the latter...I would guess that she'll go somewhere that she can get in the games and play decent minutes.

probably. but if you don't think she can get minutes at a school why would that school recruit the player.

Geno has never promised any player minutes or starting. When players ask him, his response is that all playing time is earned in practice. If a player doesn't think they can earn minutes, they don't come to UConn.

Amaka Agugua-Hamilton, the WCBB head coach at Missouri State, has done an outstanding job in only 2 seasons. It will be very interesting to see what she accomplishes at MO State in another 3 years.

 

[Terrells Bay88]

Wisconsin didn't hit a shot in the 1st Q against Illinois. 0 for 19 to start the game. 24 2 at the end of 1.

Five years and out.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Five years and out.

He replaced Bobbie Kelsey. She also coached 5 years with a 47–100 overall record (19-65 in Big Ten). Two different coaches, similar records.

Why do coaches struggle there?

Not sure, they have a great volleyball team and always a pretty tough football team. Their volleyball team has recruited some great players and Madison is a beautiful (but cold) city. Probably has a lot to do with the coaching based on the record. They need a good up and coming coach. Big 10 is tough right now.

Vandy always uses game photos from when we play them because it’s the only time they have more than 50 fans in the stands lol

They did!! I didn’t even notice. Didn’t zoom in that far lol. I’ve noticed Vandy does that a lot. They tend to use pictures of the UT games in their promo material because it’s almost always their best crowd...
