Did you actually read something somewhere that the challenge is for sure happening?

In reading the A&M and Kansas schedule releases, neither of them mentions their matchup as being part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.

Thats weird, I swore I read something about that matchup being apart of the challenge but I cannot dig it up. Hopefully this COVID fog isn't hitting me too hard:eek: if there ends up not being a challenge then that would be quite disappointing as that event often produces some interesting matchups

If that is so SC will face it’s toughest opponents on the road this year. Stanford, Oregon, Maryland, UConn, and possibly Texas will all be away games. Very interesting for sure but I love the thought of going in everyone else’s gym and getting their best shot.

Too bad you guys ran from Duke, but oh well.

They gonna pair LSU and Baylor up. Watch them send Kim back to Baylor for this challenge

I truly hope they wait until another year to schedule Baylor and LSU. The drama surrounding this match up would not be good for either school. I am sure Nicki who fought constant comparisons with Kim all last year and players on team who played for Kim would not want this.

I also doubt that Kim wants to go back and play Baylor now. Things have come out since Kim left and she was not on best terms with everyone at Baylor before she left…. The Baylor crowd would be very large and boisterous. Definitely would not be easy place for LSU to play.

They well could schedule these teams due to ratings but I imagine both teams hope not…

Where is LSU's schedule? Am I blind for not seeing it posted? :p

For a sec i thought that 11/16 matchup was with UCONN lol Kim im getting tired of the stat padding to get a ranking lol
 
I don't know why I continue to get worked up over something we all knew was coming.

Great coach, talented roster, should schedule way better though. Again you DO NOT have to schedule a bunch of top 10 teams. Just schedule some average/above average. I get it, you are basically replacing an entire team but you have Morris, Angel Reese, Ladazhia Williams, Kateri Poole and other talented freshmen, just schedule something average... That schedule is even bad by Kim's standards. Have a little bit of confidence in your team. The disaster she took over beat Iowa St and Missouri St last year, you can schedule someone better. I think the best team LSU plays pending the TBA one in Hawaii is Oregon St?

Sadly she will probably not schedule a big game until her roster is 100% hers and they played together for at least a year.

You're not the only one. A fair representation of how much squinting was required from my end listed below. ;)

You mean you didn't recognize Houston Baptist? :p

1) Their husky is a softer, more gentle looking than others :)

2) Too many schools have husky mascots..... we need other dog breeds represented. Let UConn and UDub keep theirs.... How about the Houston Baptist Boerbol's, or the Northern Illinois Akita's ....

I disagree. Bring it on. Would've been fun for a neutral site game
 
Judging by all the schedules it appears there isn’t a SEC/Big 12 challenge this year

Well it was going away eventually, to make way for the ACC - SEC challenge

I still feel so shamed y'all. Lol we better not lose not one non conference game either.

I don't think Texas' is going to be much better. We seemed to have struck out on renewing series with Tennessee, and return game to Tucson not happening this season. Not sure Tara wants to renew our series as she has whined about Vic's physical defense.

We will be playing in a brand new arena, and so far there has been no leak that we'll host a Top 25 non-conference opponent. In the Bahamas tournament, we could get Tennessee, UCLA, and/or Louisville. But, still, none of those at home. I guess UConn on the road is big in itself.
 
I was wondering how the B1G's future severed relationship with ESPN/ABC will affect women's sports. ESPN's family of channels has been the best in quantity of women's hoops/volleyball/softball broadcasts. CBS will maybe air one or two women's hoops games a year; FS1 maybe the same or a couple more.

So, if I'm understanding the TV deals correctly, no B1G women's sports will be aired by ESPN's family of channels.


All of the Big Ten’s network partners, with the exception of NBC, will televise Big Ten men’s basketball games. The majority will be on the Big Ten Network (126 men’s basketball games) followed by Fox and FS1 (45 games), Peacock (32-to-47 games) and CBS (9-to-15 games).

The networks will also televise Big Ten’s women’s basketball games and Olympic sports contests.

Well, this identifies one area where LSU can upgrade its program: social media content development.
Cringe city, plus terrible onscreen graphics.

Honestly LSUs social media game has been really good since the coaching change but could care less for this last one.

Ignoring the trash schedule there is too much purple. Kind of hard to see what team is what in the graphic. They do go overboard with the purple at times. They have done a great job growing their social media and promoting the program

We all saw it coming so you should have been prepared mentally :)

The sad part is they could have a legit really good team but it won't matter or mean much until they get to conference play and start playing better teams. It is what it is I guess. I guess I will settle for this instead of Fargas still running the ship.

Look on the bright side you all will be a Top 10 team by SEC play with your record. The voters see kim not the schedule so you all will be fine.

I don't worry about all that tbh. Eh they could potentially be a legit top 10 team but even so they don't deserve to be ranked that high until they beat high quality opponents. I'm sure they will be good, Kim will do a good job with whoever she has but from a fan perspective its disappointing.

In the end the rankings mean nothing. The total body of work and accomplishments after SEC play is finished will work itself out. Everyone's resume will be looked at fully by the committee.

The schedule's "heft", I did. That's a Mulkey trait to the core.

I don't think it excuses their social media team for using graphics that almost had me call my optometrist ;)
 
LSU is in the Goombay Splash????

Don't know what the event is - but cool name. Yes, I know it is a drink, but cool name for a tourney, as well.
