I am happy that we won another regular season SEC title and wasn't sure we would be this good when the season started. McCowan hasn't looked all world some games but she had a good year. I think her sophomore to junior leap was so significant it caught a lot of people off guard and the expectations were even higher for this year. Her game isn't flawless and she may have reached her ceiling at MSU but she's got room to grow still.

Howard was better than I expected. She's definitely emotional and can get carried away sometimes but I shudder to think where we would be without her. She and McCowan never really seemed to click together during the same game but fit together nicely overall. AEH played well in a few games down the stretch and while she's no defensive stopper she has a nice shot when she can get open. Danberry, like Howard, was better than I expected and while her shot has been missing a few games her numbers this year were solid. Holmes was what she's been since day one: a solid, not flashy guard who gets the ball in good spots and doesn't make a lot of mistakes. I've rarely seen her get frustrated or make silly plays. This team misses Bibby, a lot. Bibby looked fantastic early in the year and was making shots but also providing size and toughness. There isn't much in the way of depth however and hopefully they will play this year out without any more injuries.

The SEC tournament won't be easy. I see potential games with TN, KY, Missouri and SC if we make it that far. TN is Jekyl and Hyde but we all know the pieces are there. KY gave us a good game, Mizzou flat out beat us in a shooting contest on our home court and SC is a tough out. The location of the tournament will benefit SC and Dawn will learn from these losses.

I think we are firmly the 6th best team in the country but not sure we are as good as the top 5. I wouldn't want to play any of them with the F4 on the line. It's shaping up to be a great NCAA tournament.

I think it was her pinky and ring finger the way they were wrapped it could be either or both, but the intrepid Ajia wilson and her dead head leader were to busy extolling the SEC in general to find out before the cameras went dead and it looked like Blair brushed off an interview. Carter certainly looked pretty morose. I guess we will hear something minutes before they play their first tourney game huh?

Blair post game interview with the SECN announcers is very Gary Blair.

For many conferences, today marks the end of the regular season. Today features 18 ranked teams in action, with seeding for conference tournaments in the balance for a few teams.

Wisconsin at Michigan -- Michigan needs a win here for their NCAAT hopes.

Well they won, but if the committee actually looks at how they won ............ Head bang

Ugly game - Wolverines committed almost as many turnovers as they made baskets - - 20 TO's, 22 baskets.

But, when your opponent has 26 TO's and only makes only 19 shots, your chances of winning are enhanced.

Add in 23 fouls between the teams and very little rhythm to the game.

So Carolina lost this game because they couldn't get Rebounds down the stretch. Miss ST tried to give them the game and So Carolina didn't take it.

I mean that was the most obvious mismatch coming in and a weakness all year so not that surprising.

The dreaded powder blue. Reminds of UCLA. AAAAGGGHHHH!:mad:
Expand ...

So they call it Powder Blue out there? They call it baby blue or Carolina Blue here..... I call it something else :mad:

I actually have a Yellow UCLA shirt.... picked it up at Old Navy for 5 bucks several years ago. I dont wear it in public though :oops:
 
Miss State is the better team this year. If South Carolina ever learns how to play one 4 qs rather than 3 it will be something.

I continue to protest Coach Staley turtling up with the veterans.

40 totally unproductive minutes from Jackson/Cliney today. I just totally disagree with this.

In the Midwest UCLA's uniform was called "powder blue," at least by the sportscasters. They beat Michigan State (MSU) in the Rose Bowl on a last second 2-point conversion to break a tie and win 14-12 back when I was a kid. I never forgave them for that. :mad:

All bets are off at this point. She loves LSU. Although Chloe Jackson said the same thing and ran out of BR quickly after post season finishes.

I just think she gets a little irritated sometimes doing so much of the work with not a lot of help.

Guessing MSU adds a grad transfer regardless this offseason. Losing 4 starters again is going to hurt, and having experience will help. I know the freshmen class coming in is great but they are gonna need some upperclassmen to lean on. Bibby and AEH return, but they will really need Carter, M. Taylor and Wiggins to develop a lot this offseason. Promise should be a big rebounder and shot blocker, not 100% sure what her offense is like

I still think y'all have the pieces to make a run in the tournament if it all comes together at one time.

Once you experience trauma in early life, you never forget it. Though years of psychoanalysis might neutralize it, but who wants that?.

She's worn makeup and false eyelashes since she was a freshman. She's the first player I remember seeing with false eyelashes; she's set quite a trend.

If it would help some of our girls rebound like her, Geno may allow it. ;) Nah.
 
Fightin Choke said:
There are MANY women in college basketball that wear make-up. It is incredibly common. But the false eyelashes are far less common.
Expand ...

Ok, so she was wearing false eyelashes too? I thought so but I'm really bad at recognizing stuff like that, hence why I was asking.

Is A Howard wearing makeup?

She thinks she's prancing on the runway instead of the lane. She is a good player, and has really been a help to MSU this year, but she frequently has a bad attitude. I saw that up close today. (I sit 4 rows behind the opposing head coach)

Good win by Mississippi State, probably their best win of the season and by far their best road win.

SC really lost its juice at halftime and mostly crapped the bed in the 2nd half. Made a late charge for some drama,

Vic's forced technical foul in the 3rd quarter followed by our 2 missed free throws is what turned the game around for them. You have to give him credit, he worked the refs hard all game.

He always does. His face matches the color of his tie every game. ;)

LSU is taking on Tennessee in the SEC tournament.

This should be good

So you need Nikki to win and eliminate Holly, the take her job! Which for us, if Tenn is going to move on from Holly, taking Nikki is the next best thing to ensure further mediocrity and most importantly Continue to aggravate the VolNation crowd! That’s a WIN/WIN for both of us. :D
 
I recorded the UW-Stanford game and rewatched. Stanford had buzzer beating 3's at the end of Q1 and Q3, and got a 3 w/ 12 seconds left in Q2. That's a pretty darn good way to finish quarters.

Haley Van Dyke from UW scored 10 points in the last 4 1/2 minutes. She had been scoreless up to that point. Finished tied for a team high. Weird to lead your team in scoring when you don't get your first point until more than halfway thru Q4.
 
@triaddukefan you'll be interested to see this tweet from Grant Williams (Tennessee men's player) on the Janelle Bailey incident. I get the impression that he's celebrating it. And she responds...
