Someone Done a YouTube video about how LSU was not getting enough respect
They pick out two teams ahead of tigers that they said they could have move down and tigers up.

The NCS venue only seats 5500 and is shown as sold out on the NCS website gopack.com. I looked up the attendance at many of the NCS womens games and 5500 was reported. They must have sold out every game and now they are at home for the first two rounds of the NCAA. Wonder how many seats UT was alloted. But LVs can prevail.

Maybe you did not mean it that way but there is a pattern on this board. Losses are always 100% proof that Kellie must be fired immediately whereas wins are attributed to other non-coaching factors-- weak opposition, the other team not playing well, Venus being aligned with Mars, and often, the idea that players made their own decisions and did their own thing to get the win while Kellie just sat on the sidelines looking pretty.

Agree on her being pretty! 😁

This story was written by a Green Bay beat reporter, but could have easily been written by several on here..."The 11th-seeded Phoenix are headed to Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday where they will face another traditional power trying to reclaim its previous status, sixthseeded Tennessee (19-12). If they beat the Volunteers, who went 5-4 over their last nine SEC games, they could face third-seeded North Carolina State. Green Bay reached the second round five times between 2003 and 2012 — making its first two trips with Borseth as head coach — and it beat Niagara in a firstround WNIT game last year."

Of course, they failed to mention those 4 losses were 3 against South Carolina and 1 versus LSU. 🙄

Look, is context really important when trying to sell an agenda? 😉

A laughable bit of homer-ism for sure. Meanwhile, the GB coaches are well aware, and throwing up in their mouths a bit watching film and trying to decide which of their 6'1" wonders are going to guard Rickea and Jewel. I'm SO glad to finally be stepping out of the SEC. It's one thing to watch RJ on film, another altogether to actually play against her.

Remember the Missouri game at home where Rickea had 19 pts in the first half, mostly uncontested layups? KJH said she knew they couldn't guard RJ and her actual game plan was give her the ball in the post and get out of the way. I expect something similar, plus a 3 pt barrage when GB tries to collapse on the post.

Don't sleep on Green Bay, this is a capable basketball team. Her Hoops has us ranked 24th and them 29th. They have beaten Creighton and Washington State, but they have a couple of inexcusable losses (Milwaukee and Oakland, crappy teams with losing records).

We may match up with them pretty well though because they do not go after the offensive boards and they shoot a fairly low percentage on twos and threes. They do not cause a lot of turnovers or block many shots. Their bread and butter is valuing the basketball, they have the #1 assist to turnover ratio in the nation.

They do, was just posting about this in the LV news thread. Non LV people are pretty stunned about it too, even Coach Yo posted.

But I don't think it's good for the RJ or the LVs to be too caught up in this. They are not an outwardly emotional team and now is not the time to change that. Just keep doing what they were doing at the end of the season and in the SEC tourney and it will all work itself out.

I'm sure any coach about to play RJ wish like hell this hadn't happened. Hard enough to guard, esp if you have never actually played her, without extra motivation.

Green Bay will be an easy game and will be a tune up for the NCS game. I think we control the paint against NCS and expect a win even on their home court. A couple interesting story lines for that game. CKH use to be Wes Moore’s assistant and Tennessee apparently snubbed Wes in favor of CKH. I imagine he would love to beat Tennessee but doesn’t have the horses to pull it off IMO.

I'll probably regret this optimism, but I also think GB will be the perfect tune up.

Regarding Wes Moore, KJH said in her recent presser that she and Jon remain close w Wes, they talk frequently, even go on family trips together. So both coaches of course will want to advance, but neither will enjoy ending the season for the other.

But did the committee ask LSU where's the meat?

PAC-12 teams all artificially inflated from playing each other when they were ranked and shouldn’t have been.

I maintain that league was not as good as people think it was this season. I picked a lot of PAC-12 upsets in my brackets. Teams like Utah and Colorado have just been too inconsistent late in the season.

If there’s a game we could play poorly and still win, it’s this one - which is best case scenario for THIS team - especially after two weeks off. That would not have been the case against some of the teams we were projected to open against (Maryland, Iowa St, UNC).

I do hope they come out and play inspired ball for 40 minutes. But more importantly, I hope our starters don’t have to play big minutes to win.

She never scored 40. I think she had like 29 in the loss to MTSU. She was on fire that day. Sadly the rest of her teammates were not.
Click to expand...
The 2 games after the 29 point game Striplin had 17 and 16 points respectfully.

But since start of SEC play she hasn't done very much in the scoring column..

Edit but Striplin could score 20+ against this mid Major..

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain. Tess for 21, Sara for 24, Jewel for 30, Rickea goes out and tops JUJU with a 55 point, 20 assist, 20 rebound game.

I can envision the LVs pounding the Phoenix so furiously, that UW-GB disbands the program at the end of the 3rd quarter, explaining that there simply is no recovering from this brutal battering.

NCST wins their game but forfeits to the LVs in order to preserve the mental health of their players,.

Kellie will ride into her press conference, dressed in Mad Max garb, on the backs of the two massive alligators that she simultaneously wrestled into submission. She will then bite off the head of a live chicken and proclaim "we will take no prisoners in this tournament!." She exits by punching each reporter in the face, further declaring "I wish Kamillia Cardoso had pushed ME!!!!!"

Vol Nation posters complain that Kellie is not tough enough.
