@glv98 I like to look at this as follows: If teams in the top 15-25 today were to play on a neutral court, who would be favored? I suspect the LV’s would be favored over many in that group on a neutral court in spite of not being ranked yet, there is some momentum going on here that should not be ignored, and some of the close losses against top 15 teams that occurred earlier in the season were without Jackson, which will come into consideration, not to mention that Spears has found her footing now.
The brutal back stretch of games this year may not be a detriment as long as the LV’s play well in the tough games, and tbh, they have two opportunities at home versus top tens that could go their way. The SEC tourney is there at the end to make a final statement also. It’s all there in front of this team still if they can play well down the stretch. Coach Jumper was right that it only takes three playing at a high level to do great things, and even WC is correct when he points out that Spears, if she keeps her pace up, and paired with Jackson means anything is still possible. It’s up to them now.
