Clark is this year’s Morgan William. This game had some parallels to the State-connecticut game six years ago. USCe has been dominant somewhat similar to the Huskies (obviously for not as long). Iowa was similar to State in that they are a very good team though Iowa is much more offensive...

Great second half by our Lady Dawgs!! Not sure how good Creighton is but hopefully we got our bad game out of our system in the SECT and maybe we can make a run. Excited to see if this will carry over to Friday.

This suit is the biggest bunch of malarkey I have read about in a long time. Simply put , if an athlete wants an athletic scholarship, sign with a college that offers them. The Individual Ivy League Schools policy is clear. They do not offer them and they should not be forced to do so. If nobody...

State with a big win tonight over Arkansas. Going to Red Stick Sunday for a huge game against the Ben-Gals. Certainly we are heavy under Dawgs but this team has been playing well lately for the most part. Would be a tremendous win if we can pull it off. In any case, I think our bleeding has...

Coach Purcell seems to have righted the ship at State. Not elite level but hopefully very competitive this year and back in the top half of the conference. Basketball is fun again in the Hump for the women and the men (even though this is a WBB forum).

Dumb and dumber. Go to 18 games and have three home and home games a year. One rivalry game that is permanent and two rotating H&H. Rivalry games would be Bama-Auburn State-Ole Miss Tennessee-Vandy Kentucky-South Carolina Florida-Georgia Arkansas-Missouri LSU-A&M Texas-Oklahoma I think...

Around the SEC, Mississippi State it’s just “State” because we are the only “State” University in the conference with this exception: LSU is Louisiana State University but everyone calls them LSU. So State is basically our moniker here in the south. Occasionally you will hear MSU but I think...

I was pessimistic about this team earlier in the season but Novak and this staff have earned the right to be permanent. These players have been awesome as they have overcome some incredible obstacles. Great win today over a team that crushed us just a few weeks ago and should have crushed us...

I think making Coach Novak permanent is about the easiest decision that John Cohen has had in recent years. I know it seems I have been critical of R Jackson but part of the problem is when these players get tagged as a 5 star (in her case), 4 star etc., I am one to be a bit dubious of the...

As I mentioned I hope the very best for her. I grew up under the concept that if you were on a team that you finished out the season before moving on. Saying I am entering the transfer portal in the middle of the season is a nice way to say “I quit “ Same with football players who “opt out of...

What quality would you call it? I am not faulting her first wanting to better herself. But why are the 8 players that are persevering through a very difficult situation doing so and then you have one player who decided to quit during the middle of the season?

She is on the roster, yes, but she has not played all year. So in essence, in this circumstance, I am not counting her. I have no idea why she is not playing but I did hear Coach Novak say that she plans to play next year. I was referring to the actual 8 players who are actually playing...

Interesting that the 4 SEC wins that State has garnered this season were without Jackson on the floor. Novak and his staff along with the players that he has (8 in total) have done a credible job of playing through all the distractions. I very much wish Rickea Jackson all the best in the...

The coaching change was a disaster for her and she definitely suffered greatly under the previous Coach. Hopefully she will find the right fit and blossom there. I do think Novak has done a good job under impossible circumstances. But Sadly, our women’s basketball program is now in...

To me she came in as a 5 star but I don’t see where she has elevated her game much. In fact, it appears to me that she has just kind been in neutral during these three years. Victoria Viviens improved each year plus she was the player that you trusted to get you that big basket. I have never...
