SEC Regular Season 2023

[GamecockFam]

Mad respect for Coach Yo! It's pretty obvious that she is building something in Oxford. She's probably my second or third favorite coach in the conference. She's battling it out with Mike Neighbors for #2. I think many people give her flack because she is unapologetically herself. Critics see the "mad black woman" stereotype and they can't see beyond that stereotype to realize the stellar coaching job and recruiting she has done over the years. She is a fantastic coach!

I was one that said UM would fall back into obscurity when S Austin graduated. I really give her props for the job she has done this season.

I haven't been that impressed and expected drop off. But they are doing what you have to do if you can't skip the hard part.

Texas A&M. What is going on there?!

Texas A&M. What is going on there?!

Saw the boxscore last night and was wondering the same. No clue.

Great question. Holy smokes. I expected some struggle but not like this!

Worried about the Scar vs UTK game this Thursday. we have not won much in that arena dating back to the Coach summit era. ...and Tenn is lion that that still has claws..

Isn't this at 7? Or are you referencing the Central time zone times for these games?

Yeah, I'm pretty certain this is central time. They're all off by and hour from the EST perspective.

At times I feel like ESPN makes odd choices for how the spread the games across their networks. Like, I would think that people would rather watch LSU/Vandy over Kentucky/Texas A&M but LSU/Vandy is relegated to their streaming platform. I have absolutely no desire to watch the Kentucky/Texas A&M game. Like, I'd rather watch any other SEC matchup over that one...

I wish I could like this more than once as I agree. However my understanding is there is a minimum every team has to be on the main network and they spread them out prior to the season.

Tenn. is 49-10 against South Carolina all time .. just to put it into perspective. Coach Staley has 9 of those wins. the only other win coming in 1981. As dominate as we are-Tenn. is the standard in the SEC. with everybody else in the SEC we have a winning record or the margin is very close.

 

[WFFL]

SC makes 5 or more 3 pointers tonight they win easily . Make 5 or less they struggle to win and possibly lose as the Vols have 2 formidable WNBA first round picks. Unlike the Cocks.

 

[GoDawgs4]

State with a big win tonight over Arkansas.
Going to Red Stick Sunday for a huge game against the Ben-Gals.
Certainly we are heavy under Dawgs but this team has been playing well lately for the most part.
Would be a tremendous win if we can pull it off.

In any case, I think our bleeding has stopped with Coach Purcell. Hopefully this will be the start of something good again with our WBB program.
And we can have a stable head coach and staff.

Sorry about that. I live in the Central Time Zone, and some times I forget most people on the board don't.

Historically—yes. In the modern era SC is the standard.

South Carolina looked great against Tennessee.

I feel like this game cemented Miss State as a NCAA tournament team while simultaneously removing any prayer for Arkansas. Good game!

The tensing game and tournament COULD still have some effect on this - but, in general, I agree. I expect both schools to enter the conference as 20 game winners.

What is going on in Fayetteville? There's a decent amount of talent on that Arkansas team. There's no reason a team with Makayla Daniels, Jersey Wolfenbarger, Sasha Goforth, Samara Spencer and Saylor Poffenbarger can't finish top 5 in the SEC, especially this year.

Sorry about that. I live in the Central Time Zone, and some times I forget most people on the board don't.

The same could be said about those of us who live in the Eastern Time zone.

Even with a win they'll be 7-9 in the SEC. Do many teams make it to the tournament with a losing conference record? I feel like they'd have to beat A&M, make a deep run in the SEC tournament, and pray that the mid major conference tournament finals don't result in any upsets for the NCAA tournament auto bids.

Agree. I was expecting a lot more out of Arkansas this season. I thought they were a top 25 team in the preseason. They have all the tools to be successful. I think Mike Neighbors tried too hard to make this team fit his system instead of the other way around. That's the only way I can rationalize it.

I agree. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Goforth sit out this season for mental health reasons?

Wolfenbarger's development is perplexing. A starter last season, now coming off the bench and less playing time. Dauda is still getting accustomed to NCAA play after redshirting due to injury last year. A headscratcher for sure.

Goforth has some stomach ailment. Saylor needs to play better defense and work on shot selection and Jersey is not a guard no matter how many times she says it.
