How is this game being played after reports SC had to stop on the 7th? Was the problem Georgia?

Women’s basketball game between Georgia, South Carolina postponed due to COVID-19

Team officials said the decision to pause team activities was made due to a combination of a positive test result, contact tracing, and subsequent quarantining.

Well...I will admit when I am wrong. This South Carolina team is not better than last years. I am not even sure they are No. 1 at this point....in fact...I will say they are not.

I agree with you that they have the right to put up whatever they want. But for some reason, it bothers me. I think because, to me, it sorta implies that they were the best team in 2020. In my mind, Oregon was just as good and certainly could have beaten them had their been an NCAA tournament. The reality is that there was no national champ last year... and that saddens me.

False positive. They have all had 3 negative tests since.

How does Kentucky rebound after the Texas A&M game?

Kentucky missing a lot of bunnies near the rim

 

[Shades]

Any interest in this game?

 

[SECbbfan24]

Boston now w/ 2 fouls

Boston now w/ 2 fouls

That should make it really interesting.

 

[SECbbfan24]

I hope Matthew Mitchell is doing well. I'm sure he is enjoying this game so far.

 

[LETTERL]

Dawn sporting a new 'do.

 

[LETTERL]

Sit, stand, kneel. Just shut up and play ball.

There. Off soapbox now.

 

[DefenseBB]

So...with this game being closer than anticipated at 24-22 midway thru the 2nd, maybe our SEC brethren are right, the SEC is deeper than we thought, they just aren't as elite as we thought....

 

[Shades]

Howard with 13 of KEN’s 24 pts. At least she’s not off to a slow start.

LSU is elite

Best gumbo in the SEC. We are carrying this conference.

 

[DefenseBB]

2 thoughts come to my mind if Kentucky wins this game:
1. Will Dawn not want any more of her games on ESPN?
2. Will Kentucky hoist a banner celebrating beating the #1 Unanimous 2020 Team"?
....

When I saw this, I thought you said best guard combo.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Kentucky missing some opportunities to expand this lead.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Kentucky with a 41-32 lead at half

 

[GRIFFBIFF20]

41-32 at the half

 

[DefenseBB]

Still, 41-32 at the half. Go Wildcats!

I know this has been said a million times but, Ty Harris directing traffic and Kiki HH being a dual threat on offensive and defense made this SC team look way better than they do now. The sophomores (Boston, Cooke, Beal) were able to be complimentary players and feed off their senior leadership. Now it’s hard for them to initiate that kind of play without them. The incoming players for next year will change all that.

The two best players on the team from last year left. I pointed out this would be a problem.

Too little progress from the Sophomores, unbalanced scoring, diminished depth.

I've thought for awhile that this team would be just another team in the SEC scrum. This half isn't changing that view.

You lost me on your logic. Boston, Cooke and Beal were as highly rated as next year's class and will have 2 years experience so that the incoming freshman would be role players. Are yo saying next year's freshman will be the lead threats?

Some of your fellow fans had a different take on things. I seem to recall quite a few predictions this year would be just as good or even better than last season.
