Just Watched a Vic presser where he expressed concern with the degree of fouling taking place against Big Tee. The last two games, Ole Miss and Vandy, the refs allowed some contact that I thought was excessive, I like physical play but deliberate fouls designed to take a player down should not be allowed. The refs need to call deliberate hard fouls as flagrant before serious injury occurs.
 
The worst part isn't the physical play...it's the undercutting of her whenever she goes up for a rebound and lands on someone's back and almost always hits the floor. She's not the most graceful person to ever play Dr. Naismith's game, but she certainly has had alot of help to the floor recently.

It reminds me of the way the SEC officials allowed Shaq to get killed his last year at LSU. Dale Brown pitched a hissy fit in the media and it stopped some. I said on an MSU board over a month ago that Vic should consider doing this. It could backfire and him look petty or even like he's whining. But he has to take up for his player.

Funny 1) She lawyered up so quickly 2) Her Lawyer using the "suspended" contrasted with the University using the words administrative leave.

Maybe Brittney Griner needs to show her the Barncastle move. That'll get her a little space for a while...

I expect MSST to do very well in the big dance. That optimism is due to the team play of McCowan and Howard. For the first time this season, in the LSU game, these two played together. These guys are gelling just in time, we are going to be a tough out in the SEC and NCAA tournament. Word to the wise, WATCH OUt FOR THE DAWGS!

Will admit I have been concerned with the play of MSST in recent games against Ole Miss and Vandy because the obvious strategy was to clog up the middle and rough Big Tee up. That strategy appeared to work. MCCowan was obviously frustrated and Howard was trying so hard to pick up the play she was fouling way too much. Against LSU when Big Tee was double/triple teamed Howard immediately went to the basket for layup. If LSU switched to Howard the ball was immediately returned to Tee. Sounds simply and logical but in the past if the ball went inside to Tee she was taking the shot even if she was heavily guarded. Last year if Tee were heavily guarded she fed the outside shooters this year our outside shooting is not consistent and this year it appears Tee option is to look for Howard driving to basket.

I suppose this post was meant for me. I do not consider myself a newbie and did not mean my post to be annoying, but if it was then I apologize.

You're not at all annoying. Some people were just poking fun at your post because it wasn't really news and it was posted in a thread for news. Maybe if you started a thread on the SEC tournament and posted your opinion they wouldn't have commented on your content at all.

Actually, the moderators requested we not start a thread and post under the non UConn thread, that is why I posted here.

  • Despite Duke's worst record since 1992-1993, the Blue Devils rank third in ACC attendance with 3883 per game (bolstered by a sellout crowd -- 9,314 -- against UNC in the season finale).
  • Miami, NC State, and Syracuse will all finish the regular season being ranked in the Top 25, yet collectively averaged 2322 fans per game.

Thanks for sharing. There will always be a stigma between men and women college basketball. The thing that bothers me the most about the attendance of women college basketball is the students rarely attend the women games.

Obvious South Carolina, Tennessee, UConn, Notre Dame, Louisville and Baylor are exceptions to the rule.

One day someone will do a study on the gap in attendance between the men and women basketball teams in the Power 5 conferences plus UConn.
 
State's attendance picked up later in the season.... they had maybe three sellouts in the last month. Arena seats 5,500. Wake Forest attendance was bolstered by a kids day crowd of almost 10,000..... and the game vs Duke of i think 2,100 or so. Take away those games.... they average less than 600 fans...... in an arena that seats 14,400. :eek::eek::eek: :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:
 
Another reason to not be overly concerned about Baylor being at a disadvantaged if they're placed in G-boro vs NCS.

When it comes to student attendance, South Carolina is not an exception to the rule. Student section is normally pretty miserable even though Dawn has done about all she can to galvanize them. I’ve felt for a few years, some of those student section seats should be turned into more reserved seating.

This is what Maryland does except for the famous wall student section. But we don't have 5 figure attendance except for when we play UConn or the annual field trip game in November. .
 
How many actually paid for their tickets? Sellout is not a term that can be used with WCB. Standing Room Only is a better descriptor. As the older crowd who like and appreciate "old school" basketball shrinks who, if anyone, will replace them?

Congrats to all

Gustafson was incredible and Mikesell is gonna be a terror these next three years, the girl can stroke it.
 
Has there ever been a clearer choice for conference POY who wasn't on the 1st-place team?

Interesting that the Sixth POY is also a freshman (Hillmon), and I'd say a clear-cut choice here as well. She's also on the conference First Team, alongside her teammate Thome. Watch out for Hillmon next year.

I'm not sure many of us expected the COY award to go to Frese, considering that Maryland was expected to win the conference and they barely did.
