Non UConn College WBB News

This is a shocker for me, even with Carter sitting. MSU played Lamar earlier this year and won by 51.

I have no information on the Howard and Williams transfers, but it certainly could be a major situation with Carter. She really hurt her team today.

Lamar does have a very impressive guard in Barrs. She gave the quick State guards plenty of trouble early. From their website...

Named Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year for an unprecedented third straight season … First-team All-Southland Conference … Led nation with 191 steals, equaling the NCAA single-season record ... Averaged 6.37 steals per game to lead the nation ... Ended the season with 456 career steals, a Southland Conference record ... Averaged 12.1 ppg overall and 12.0 ppg in conference play ... Led Southland Conference in assists (199), assists per game (6.6), steals (191), steals per game (6.37) and assist/turnover ratio (2.2) ... Set school record with four triple-doubles ... Had nine double-doubles ...First-team selection on Southland Conference All-Academic Team.

Thanks for sharing...just looked her up. She has a shot to break the all time record for steals if she slightly ups her season rate. She's up to 492 (career record is 624) and she should have at least 23-24 more games to play. She'd need to average 5.5/game if they play 24 games, or 4.9 if they play 27.

Glad you were interested. In the postgame presser Vic was effusive in his praise for her. Said she had a great chance to set the career NCAA record for steals. Her numbers will surely go up in conference play. Incredible win for that school shouldn't be overlooked.

 

[DaBball]

I believe Lamar also usually wins their conference, so they should go deep in their tournament and get an NCAA game.

 

[Jmsdawg]

Shocking to me! Lamar not big so Texas A&M should have dominated inside even without Carter.

 

[UConnCat]

Lamar's losses so far this season are to Miss St (104-53), Denver U (117-110) and Ohio U (87-62).

I didnt realize that Audra Smith formerly of Clemson was hired to be the coach down the road at SC State.

Pretty generous to say she "competed at the highest level as a head coach in the ACC at Clemson University." Really? Going 9-70 can be described as competing?

they had a lot of close losses

 

[Charliebball]

the vast majority of ND fans were not at all pleased with her behavior and thus:

 

[DallasBUFan]

Good for her for owning her behavior. One thing those two shots did for her last year was put her even more in the public eye. So a lot of people saw what she did and I am sure were disappointed. Growing moment for her!

 

[Centerstream]

I am guessing that there is not going to be any further actions from the coaches, AD or ACC officials? Then again, maybe no other actions are required because she was not ejected from the game even though if anyone actually reviewed her actions over the course of the entire game....

If there were any action, it wouldn't be announced in the press, nor should it be. No need to humiliate anyone.

Butler already improving that program

 

[shizam]

the vast majority of ND fans were not at all pleased with her behavior and thus:

She went to a Catholic High Sch in Milwaukee and chose ND so she could continue her Catholic education. Her words. Now she turns on the charm in her tweet. Great example. Better idea than the apology - just don’t intentionally undercut or trip players or have a foul mouth. Humble yourself and give ND fans mature sportsmanship they can be proud of the rest of the year. I don’t pull for UConn but I sure like something about their players. Class with a cap C

 

[UConnCat]

Hmmm

 

[Blueberries]

Hmmm

Is that CD's mom who responded?

 

[IWearShoes]

Is that CD's mom who responded?

Gotta be. I'm glad she apologized and hope she meant it, but also have no problem with others calling out her behavior. It was ridiculous and dangerous and that message needs to get through loud and clear.

 

[Plebe]

Is that CD's mom who responded?

Yes indeed. And Davonna Dangerfield had earlier posted this. If you click on the Instagram link, you can see that her "can't say the same for everyone" is clearly directed at Arike:

 

[stwainfan]

Zaay Green was SEC Freshman of the week.

 

[JDuro]

 

[nwhoopfan]

She's losing eligibility for Sr. season of high school because of someone else's mistake? That's a shame.

 

[Jmsdawg]

That seems so unfair but that is BAMA! Hope this gets worked out so she can play her senior year.

 

[hussybulldog]

Dawn said that sitting out two years (injury + transfer year) would not be a great student athlete experience for her. Being suspended a year for fighting at Tennessee would not be a great student athlete experience either.

What a bizarre argument. The NCAA will probably grant the waiver.

I just hope Dawn thought of the meaning of integrity when coming w a ridiculous argument.

 

[Bama fan]

That is hilarious. I am not a native Alabamian, but when i moved here years ago I quickly learned that there was a stock reply here. Whenever anyone mentions some negative ranking or situation taking place in this state, their first response is always "Thank God for Mississippi". Oh the irony of life! Having that out of the way, there is a pattern of strange behavior in ASHAA. Very restrictive rulings are not rare, and they are not always randomly applied. I mean, this is the same bunch that ruled Willie Mays ineligible in the 1940's. Not sure , but some of them may literally be the same bunch. This place has a terrible history , but to be spurned by Mississippi? Really? Come on! Anywhere but Mississippi! It is my personal belief that those cowbells render them senseless!

I had a reply in mind.... but for the sake of this thread.... imma keep it to myself

That is probably best. Get some Spam and chill by the fire. Maybe chew a little Juicyfruit. It's good for the soul!

 

[IWearShoes]

I'm simply immune to all but the most asinine or evil derogatory remarks about my home state. Been hearing them all my life. I've been all over and lived quite a few places. If it makes someone else feel better to think Mississippi sucks and to say so, who am I to spoil their fun. I like it here, warts and all.

Oh, and IWearShoes.

 

[JonathanXIV]

Perhaps you and Bama fan can get a room and work it out.

Shoes, I am a native Mississippian who lives in Florida. I love my home state and my university. I to have heard the Mississippi jokes but when it comes to absolute nuts they all seem to reside in Alabama especially around the BAMA and Auburn colleges, one of the nuts even poisoned the trees around Auburn. Another thing, watch out for Alabama drivers, they often forget the rules of the road.

I'm sure you've heard it all too. Not gonna disparage AL drivers because I experience terrible driving in every state.

I will say that Alabama's football success has created a level of expectation and arrogance in some of that fanbase that's difficult to tolerate. The tree killer Harvey Myrick being the poster boy.
