Saw on another board that Jaloni Cambridge was visiting South Carolina this weekend and was there for the game today.....

That was a good one to see. 15,000 in attendance and she got to see the people she will play with play lots of minutes.

Raven takes this team to another level. Reminds me of when Dawn turned the reins of the team over to Ty in 2017. She just started gradually getting more and more minutes in place of Cuevas. All of a sudden she was starting. Dawn won’t change the line-up as long as we are winning but Raven is getting more and more minutes. Ashlyn Watkins played the most minutes of anybody today with 23. Did a great job on Haley Franks.

I thought at one point Fletcher vs Raven was a good debate that Fletcher was surprisingly getting the better of, but it has changed dramatically here the last two weeks.

I'm not sure next season's team will be on the same level but it should be very fun.

Question. Since when have chickens lived in a nest? I've never heard/seen/read about a nest full of chickens. One of yall need to tell Coach Staley, the social media people, AD, or whoever.. Rename it The Coop... Or The HenHouse. Signed a concerned fan
Expand ...
Nah. We aren't going to tell Coach Staley anything. We're gonna let her roll right now. If she wants to call it the Pig Pen, that's fine with us. Maybe she's the mother hen and the "eggs" are in the nest. Whhen they commit they are birdies. Think of it that way. When among greatness, think like greatness.

Birdies live in the nest. Dawn loves her some birdies.

Is this a version of not seeing the forest for the trees? As shown above by TC22's gif and explained by JDuro's post, the coop or henhouse is merely a safe enclosure to house the nesting boxes within, and the nesting boxes do in fact have nests in them for chickens to lay their eggs. Truly, the only nests that are full of ANY birds, are typically nests that are full of the mother bird, and her chicks, with the occasional accompaniment from the male mate, such as with doves. Even for ANY flock of bird species, nests are not full of those species of birds, but used individually for female members to lay eggs. A chicken living in the wild would go off on her own and make a nest for herself.

Triad must be a big city slicker.........
 
Speaking of Milaysia, Keenan plays Gray Collegiate Friday and will be broadcast as part of WACH FOX 57’s Friday Night Rivals telecast. It can be seen on digital channel 57-2, Spectrum channel 1250, or streamed on the WACH website. Game time is 6:00. The two teams played last night at Gray, Keenan coming away with a 57-48 road win before a raucous crowd.

SC offered top 20 Wing/Forward ‘24 recruit Kennedy Smith out of California

Another good player out of Cali. Hope this one turns out differently. Kennedy seems very excited about the offer.
 
So chickens do have nests.... learn something new everyday.

Not a big city slicker, but a city slicker.
 
Does Shea Ralph employ a similar offense to Geno? I'm wondering if the Vandy game will provide a taste test for those youngsters who haven't logged minutes against UConn.

Not sure how much you have watched Uconn this year but they don't really run an offense. It's either run down the floor quicker than the other team and get a lay up or turn it over. Geno has been dreadful at developing a half court offense for years, maybe even a decade, now.
As long as South Carolina cleans up the offensive boards, which I don't imagine they will have an issue with, Uconn's offense shouldn't be an issue for you guys. Especially without Azzi and Caroline who I would imagine likely wouldn't be back for that game.

Just want to point out that a decade would include the period where he won four straight national championships.

Yea I actually just watched a bunch of games from that era. There wasn’t much of an offensive scheme so much a fluid read the defense and score. There used to be a very clear offensive scheme in the 90s and early and midnaughts that started disappearing around Maya Moore’s era.
It’s not a criticism of his offensive philosophy just an observation that it only works if your starting line up isn’t sidelined with injuries.
 
The competition hasn't been the strongest lately, but Zia Cooke's shooting efficiency has steadily trended upward the last few months, Boston's production is also going up and up, and most importantly it looks like Raven Johnson is really finding her groove at the PG sport. Tonight makes 4 nice showings in a row off the bench for her.
 
South Carolina scored 60 points in the paint tonight against Vandy. Take away all their other points and only count the ones in the paint, and they still win by 12.

Another crazy stat? Vandy made 18 field goals and had 14 shots blocked.
 
i think Geno said once that he puts in a structure and once they have that ingrained really well he then lets the players do what they want in the structure, which works out well when you have three All Americans.
 
Cardoso has improved greatly this year, but man it's frustrating to watch her knowing just a little more effort and concentration would go so far.

I'm not necessarily looking forward to seeing her anchor the interior for 25-30 minutes.

I guess I'm doing my own concern trolling about next year but I feel like the defense and rebounding effort has us spoiled.

Yes, that was still a while ago though During his show early this season he said there isn’t an offense just get the players to create in their own. Half court offense has always been a coaching weakness imo despite being a great overall offensive coach. I don’t see Uconn running on South Carolina and without Azzi or Caroline to spread the floor and take some pressure off Lou I don’t see where points come from.
Long story short- yall have nothing to worry about if we play.
