To paraphrase the late great Bernie Mac .. we ain't scared of no milaysia fulwileys

The Belmont asst coach who commented on the post made it known he respects what Kara is doing.

Emma Koabel is out for the 2025-2026 season. She sustained a knee injury while playing with Team Canada this summer.

Oh dear. And this is supposed to be her senior season this year. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Hate season ending injuries for any player, especially a senior. 2nd Straight year losing a player to a torn ACL sustained while playing for a national team.

Curious to see what she worked on over the off-season. Canada Basketball fans had hoped she would have been part of the U23 squad to get a sneak peak this summer.

Does anyone really think that the ACC will resemble in any way, shape, or form, an actual title race?

Because there's Duke and...

I see dukes offense is in prime form

Not sure how to spin what I just saw as a positive…Baylor wins 58-52 in I can best say as an “interesting game”. Duke was 20-69 and 4/19 from 3 from the floor while Baylor was 20-63 and 3/15. But yeah, great defense…NOT.

Honestly, the thing that irritates me the most is Kara is now the Olympic coach. Yikes…..

I'll have to go back and watch the game once I get home tonight, but my goodness...

To put it in football terms, I think it's time for Kara to hire a dedicated offensive coordinator and hand over the playcalling clipboard!

It was tough watching that game. There was just no offensive rhythm at all for Duke.

Both teams. I saw so many missed opportunities that will probably be cleaned up. Baylor had so many wide open players that they didn't see or were too late to recognize. Those kind of issues will resolve themselves with more chemistry and film study as the season evolves. I didn't quite see the same with Duke. Their guard play in particular was no bueno.

I really like Duke and Kara but this is a pattern. She's trying to win with only putting up 60 points tops and that will only get them so far. The game isn't the same as 20 years ago... if she wants to be at the top, they've got to be able to get to 80 points in competitive games.

Video of @triaddukefan was just found reading the score....

Maybe we'll see some improvements when the freshmen are cleared to play.
