Louisville at Ga Tech has started watching until our game starts.

Same, Ga Tech looks great. Their defense is tough. They’re like us in some aspects, very difficult to score over. That’s a lot of what Louisville does, tough shooting so far.

Tech could use some more movement on offense but have gotten a couple good looks so far. They’re doing an excellent job on the defensive glass, one and done for Louisville.

Ga Tech plays very mature, their European talent is undaunted by the name on the jersey of their opponent. They just come out and play their game.

Not at all! makes me want to know WHICH players are out for these other teams because this is starting to seem really crazy that some teams are playing and others don't have enough to field a team of 7-8 and have to have 3 games in a row cancelled 🤔😏 especially if you only playing 7 anyways...

I haven’t been impressed with them so far. Their claim to fame is Van Lith. IMO she cannot carry them. She’s just not actually that athletic, cruel to say, but even in better shape this season she just doesn’t have it against better competition. Relies on a fade away mid-range shot that doesn’t go down well over defenders with length. Also a poor 3 point shooter which is surprising. Only about 23%.

Cochran isn’t much in the post, she’s a big body but I don’t see a lot of desire there. Only averages 6 and 4. The rebounds in particular are surprising, if he had another option should wouldn’t play as much as she does.

That’s what I was thinking for Vandy and a few others. I think they should definitely have to report exactly who is out and why. Unless a player has actually tested positive they should be available. With a rapid test you can get results in less than 30 minutes. Can test someone all the way up to game time if you need to CYA.

Exactly there are probably actually very few cases where these teams actually can't play... I feel like we have some teams in the SEC doing the same thing and they should be made to make them up in the order they were cancelled if possible. Ole miss dodged SC and they have to play them twice two potential losses.

Can we talk about how we were all bewildered how we only scored 7 points in a qtr but the #3 team in the country scored 3!!! 👀👀👀

Seems like lots of teams have really turned up the defense this season. Teams are struggling offensively, but watching that first quarter Louisville just couldn’t get ANYTHING going against the Ga Tech defense. Really smart players for Fortner. They broke up a bunch of back door action that would normally be layups for LVille

I can’t figure how Ole Miss couldn’t field 7 players with all the players they have on their roster. If teams are being dishonest they should also be fined. Particularly if situations like our Texas game comes up. If a team has traveled and they cancel like that there should be repercussions.

Definitely need an independent tester and if you have seven you should be required to play or forfeit.

Excellent idea with the independent tester. Even just a local doctor would suffice. Someone impartial and trained. Call them up and have them test everyone if there is any question.

She has 15 players and she can't field 7-8?!! It hasn't happened to us (yet) but i would think if we can play we will play.

Geno has had injured players so his may be a little more excusable but to say it doesn't benefit him would also be a lie lol

Louisville huge comeback. Ga. Tech has some ball handling issues in that quarter couldn't get in an offense. Their defense relaxed quite a bit as well. 20 to 20.

Louisville is 2 of 10 from the free throw line and GT has 14 turnovers at the half.
In other games: Clark from Iowa has 18 points at the half. Her shooting has been down considerably this year, as opposed to last year. Until today's game anyway.
On edit.
Last year, Clark shot 47% and 40% at 2's and 3's respectively.
This year 38% and 25 % so far.

No question an independent look at both testing and whether a game can truly be rescheduled or not is vital. Or else no one is going to actually play the top teams and pad their league record for tourney seeding.
