Where's @Plebe ? The SEC absolutely is the top conference in the country-just look at this defensive battle occurring here 26-19 at halftime!

Its SC and everyone else. Kentucky could be special but they have no coach.

I am not exactly a Curry fan but she has done a great job with her team this year. Just imagine if Alabama finishes top 2 or 3 in the conference. They actually competed really well vs SC but just don't have the bodies to compete inside for rebounds.
 
Oh drat. I turn to ESPN2 and I hear Andy Landers talking about the Tennessee-UCONN rivalry but missed all but the very end. Did anyone hear the entire conversation?

I see Mississippi State is up to 19 points now.

Clearly the SEC coaches were smart not having Miss St so high in their coaches poll. They seem to be missing Vic a lot this year. Miss St has some very talented kids but it feels like many have regressed a little bit.

Maybe I am missing something but the team chemistry and body language is awful.
 
38-25 TAMU at the third media break.

That might be an insurmountable lead in this game.
 
Nikki remind me of Holly Warwick, she has no answers when the team is struggling, simply sit on bench and stares at floor. Vic would be on the sidelines screaming at the lack of effort.

Cooks has been a big disappointment. I'm not sure if she's battling injuries or what, but Bibby > Cooks. Carter seemed to disappear against equal or better competition last year, and she has done nothing to improve this year. To me, Mingo
doesn't offer much at all. We haven't replaced Danberry's production. I don't know where Rickea is. It looks like she has given up in the last two games and has terrible body language. She didn't start the Bama game due to not giving effort in practice.

Generally ambivalent on Courtney Lyle, but she’s really going on and on today about Mulkey’s “almighty dollar” comments after the Baylor game last night. I don’t think the comment was all that controversial. Is there really any doubt that we’re playing college basketball for the money? It’s not the jaw-dropping take Lyle seems convinced it is.

While it may be somewhat right it just looks bad that this come out immediately after a loss. No one is being forced to play, you can opt out if you want. Why complain about it now? If Kim or her players didn't feel comfortable playing, they are fully able to step aside for this season briefly. Its understandable.

I also think Nick Saban said it best. The athletes are safer playing then not. They are in a much more controlled environment getting tested multiple times weekly and constantly being monitored by medical staff. They wouldn't be any safer at home.

I for one am happy sports are back. The kids IMO are safer. They are able to create value for themselves and do what they. love. It also provides a source of entertainment for fans as well.

Yes. The real reason basketball is being played is because LETTERL has a terrible life and the poor thing is in need of some pleasure and entertainment.

Men's hoops. How much money is there in women's basketball?
 
Nikki McCray Penson is a fraud. Get rid of her.

Kim was the irresponsible person who went home at Christmas time to celebrate, and came down with the virus.

Ehhh I won't attack her from catching the virus from a family member during Christmas. It can happen to any of us. she let her kids go home to their families as well. I got the virus even though I have been extremely careful, it happens...

Her coming back early after not waiting the full quarantine period is a different topic for discussion. Why Baylor cleared her to come back makes no sense to me. That is a bigger issue than Kim getting the virus at Christmas.

This really summed up White and Holly's career at Tennessee and Vandy.

Now I understand what the LadyVols battle cry for "GRIND FOR NINE" meant. :D Epic sequence right there folks.

Yes, good point. That’s what I meant in my post (Kim specifically referenced the men’s tournament). I should have specified as the revenue situations look very different.

@LETTERL and @SECbbfan24 also raise gold points. The optics of the situation after a loss are poor. Peck did mention that Mulkey had made that same comment before the game.

With respect to the contest at hand, very surprised this was not more competitive. MSST has the talent, but I echo others here who noted how out of sorts they often look. Hope they can get it figured out—Rickea is too talented to want to stay on an underperforming team, and if she goes and Carter doesn’t return, the cupboard starts to look bare for Mississippi State.

A&M is pretty certainly the second- or best team in the SEC at this point.

I was wrong. I thought finishing two games clear of the pack last season and returning everyone and adding big pieces would have been a big start for the new era at Miss State.
 
Rickea and Carters body language is awful, like they don't want to be there. Wouldn't be shocked to see them transfer the ways things are going.

If they act fast they could transfer out and hitch on another team right away and keep on playing without missing a beat. :rolleyes:
