If Alexis Morris is 90% she'll be on the floor during the SEC Tournament.

Eh... I am not sure if its worth the risk. Even with a healthy Morris, we likely still arent winning the SECT. They are already projected as a 2 seed so what is the risk worth?
 
Love Dawn and my Gamecocks but not sure how Mulkey didn’t walk away with COY on this one. Finley and Novak have also done incredible jobs but Mulkey has elevated a cellar-dweller program to top 6 in the country. Aside from a two-game slide in SEC play, LSU hardly lost all year.

She’s not everyone’s favorite, and she’s not mine, either, but she is a terrific coach who has proven herself despite having nothing left to prove. Excited to stay tuned to LSU’s continued rise.

I think because she won the conference. I don't think its fair for me to say Dawn didn't deserve it, she has the #1 team in the country right now and won the SEC, but Kim has had as impressive coaching job as anyone in WBB this year. I think most people on the outside know this and it won't take away from what she has done.

I’m sorry, but Dawn did it a lot of talent that it was expected. Kim did it with ALOT less talent. Which is much more impressive.

According to Newby & Pointer, they tried to recruit Q Morrison to transfer before this season. interesting tidbit.

Are you saying that "it was expected" for SC to beat Stanford, NC State, UConn, Maryland etc ?

Dawn swept EVERY team in the country coached by an active coach who has ever won a national championship. Geno, Tara, kim, Brenda, Gary.

I could have accepted Kim getting the award. She did a fantastic job this year. My respect for her has grown immensely, but the "it" that Dawn did is a lot more than the "it" that kim accomplished. Both were excellent accomplishments.

If a team has the amount of talent that SC has, then yes I‘d expect them too.

I didn’t say that Dawn didn’t deserve to win. I’m just saying I think Kim’s job was more impressive with the roster she had. Plus it’s not a written rule that the best teams coach has to win COY. Given that UGA’s coach won the COY for a 4th place finish, just last year.

SC did great, Dawn won. We’re moving on. Good luck the rest of the way.
 
Horrible game. But I gotta give it to Howard and Kentucky. They outplayed and out coached us.

They are hot and playing well.

Disappointed by Kim's preparation and treatment of this tournament. If it didn't matter why show up to play?

Its evident in the Tennessee and Kentucky game how much Morris means to this team. Without her, LSU looks very similar to last season where it had a losing season.


Very disappointing IMO to play like that after a large amount of fans traveled for that.

It was disappointing. I do hope that's Mulkey's message to her team was different that her message to the media. I hope that the media message was posturing knowing that the last reveal had LSU as #2 seed so why wouldn't she argue that the tournament should be irrelevant to seeding and use the South Carolina example she used.
I think had LSU been on the NCAA bubble, her message would have been completely different. It's possible though that her technique backfired and her team believed her words about the value of the tournament.
I think the team is getting lots of attention that they have never received before and it will be important for Mulkey to keep them focused and not let the media and attention distract them. I think that distraction, weary legs from lots of minutes logged this season, Kentucky's good play and lack of Morris were factors as well.

Mulkey made similar statements when she was at Baylor. When her team won the regular season conference championship and was set for a high tournament seeding, she resented having to play in the conference tournament: nothing to gain, plenty to lose.

Interesting, although complaining about conference rules is somewhat worthless. There have been some coaches that talk about how conferences award automatic bids, and when it's the conf tourney that gets you in, it penalizes the teams in the perceived lower conferences that were in 1st place but then lose the conf tourney final, and they don't get into the NCAA tourney. Which now gets me thinking ... what would happen if NCAA bids were for both the regular season and tourney champ, and how many conferences have the overlap vs two distinct teams? Even Geno has said you work hard all season to win the conference and then have to deal with the conf tourney ....

Strained MCL. She will be good for tournament but they held her out of SECs as a precaution. We simply can’t score or do much without her. Which makes it remarkable we somehow beat TN on the road without her. Ironically the three seed got an easier matchup than the 2 seed in this tournament the way Kentucky has played lately.

Quantifying a win over tenn as, "remarkable" is a bit of a stretch these days, don't you think?

Misunderstood what I meant…. It was more in the sense that they won that game without Morris was remarkable because LSU is a shell of itself without her in the lineup. Had nothing to do with Tennessee. They are a solid team and beating them on the road during their senior night was a very admirable performance. LSU just isn’t able to do much without a starting lineup that has Morris AND Pointer

LSU is a thin team and we certainly don’t have the horses 1-5 most other top programs have but they are doing the best they can this year

Proud of this team getting a 3 seed, but potential Ohio St matchup is gonna be tough the way they shoot the 3 ball. Better figure that out over the next week.
 
On the flip side she was on social media earlier saying she felt great and she was clowning around in the locker room. They may be holding out to the very last minute to keep her healthy as possible.

I know this sounds like a fuddy-duddy thing to ask, but exactly when did this routine of modeling a team's uniform become standard fare for recruiting visits? Has it always been done or is this a social media era thing? (I really wasn't aware of this stuff before I joined the Boneyard.)

Been done in football for 20 years.

Might change in the future if the school doesn’t wear the correct brand for a high schoolers NIL
