Yea I am not sure this is a fair argument. Tennessee is not a very good team and plays to its level of competition. Hell they lost to Vandy at home.

The reality is the attendance has dropped dramatically and boosters are not giving back as of late. LSU WBB boosters used to donate a lot. It has slid a lot over the last three years, and it will do more so this offseason. We are extremely mediocre. We don't recruit consistently. When we get talent, it ends up transferring or getting suspended.

I'm a UCLA fan so I know exactly what you're going through because it was well predicted when she left. However, you can look at the rosters and see that on paper at least, Tennessee is loaded with All Americans and LSU isn't. I agree Tennessee isn't very good and LSU isn't very good but is that enough to let her go? A lot of the same arguments, i.e. lack of boosters, poor recruiting, etc. has been going on before she got the extension.

She has been making 900,000 dollars a year for the last 8 years and has never made it past the first round of NCAA tourney except for one year, 2013 I think. She makes more money than Holly for Gosh sakes and her record is like 145 wins and 100 losses. Geno has not lost 100 games in the last 30 years.

Nikki Fargas - Wikipedia

145-101 after today. But she made it past the first round her first 3 years.

LSU has always been tough for us, so I probably think she's not as bad as you do based on the bias in that sample. The funny thing is that I think Fargas would do better than Holly at Tenn based on the idea that the recruiting would be better just because of the LV brand, while LSU seems more limited by talent than coaching in my limited sample of games watched. Your 2-3 zone isn't the same as Auburn's for creating turnovers but it always seemed to me like LSU was very good under Fargas at creating turnovers. When that works and the transition offense creates layups, they do well. But the half court offense struggles. Is that a fair take?

But her record at LSU means Tenn won't want her.
 
Colorado whittled a 12 point halftime deficit down to 2 a minute ago. 38-34 ASU nearing end of Q3. I'm not watching. Based on score this is probably in the unwatchable category. ASU is a solid program, but they are not fun to watch.
 
Man I just jinxed Georgia Tech .... I KNEW they would win

Oh well.... at least it will be fun to watch Notre Dame dismantle the Tar Heels in person tomorrow :D

I wasn’t advocating for her.

Killer loss for Buckeyes who likely would've gotten an improbable WNIT bid with a win. Now at 14-14, dunno.

They’re still in the top 100 of the RPI. I’ll be shocked if they don’t get a WNIT invite.

This tournament has been in Greensboro since 2000, and this is the FIRST time that I will see Clemson play

I was at the game and I didn’t find it unwatchable. Just because a game is low scoring doesn’t necessarily make it ugly or poorly played imho . Colorado went on a run in 3Q when Alexis Robinson caught fire. But ASU really responded when it mattered and played a beautiful 4th quarter.

Meanwhile Arizona played an amazing first half vs USC and is up 44-21 at halftime. I can’t remember the last time AZ scored that much in a half.

Ha, I figured you were going to call me on that. OSU plays plenty of grinders, I've definitely watched some of that style. It works for ASU, CTT has had a very nice run there.

Looks like 'Zona is getting scoring from several players, not just Aari, and they are hitting the 3 ball.

Have fun in Vegas. I never took advantage while the tourney was in Seattle, I should have.

Ha Vegas is *not* my cup of tea. But the arena is nice. Stadium style seating and just the right size.

Not my style either. You should be inside the arena watching games most of today and tomorrow anyway.

I stand with triaddukefan

I think they can pull off the upset against FSU tonight.


I really don't think FSU is that special. I think they are extremely beatable this year.
 
Mabrey 2 really rides for her sister... Little Mabrey got called for a charge and sure enough M2 rose up out of her chair and started pointing and complaining to the ref:p. She's been out of her seat a few more times complaining

Marina Mabrey just walked by.. I thought she looked familiar.. Then I saw the nd logo on her bookbag. I was thinking for a second what in the world is she doing at this game . Then I remembered that her sister is playing for VPI. @Dillon77 @Fightin Choke @Orangutan

Ah, those ND students hitting the books, no matter where they are! :p :rolleyes:

You can probably count on one hand the number of high school and./or college games of Dara's that Marina has been able to see first hand. Good for them.
In fact, I'm watching that game ... on television of course. :)

Thanks for the post!
 
Ark up 15 on Ga. Dawgs need a few wins to even get on the bubble.

What a great game this Clemson/Va Tech game is. Back and forth...could be going down to the wire.

I've said it before on here...if Va Tech could somehow make the field of 64, they would be a dangerous opponent. They have the weapons for a run to the Sweet 16.

Well it was a bad call on in the first half.. And out of the blue from the. VPI section someone yells our a very loud expletive and our entire section looks over to see where it came from :confused:. This is the Bible Belt :rolleyes:

You make it sound like they're from a foreign land -- Blacksburg is 2 hrs north of Gboro!
 
Taylor Emery is taking over late in the 4th quarter. She on FIYA!

Elon vs Hofstra. I’ll let the photo speak for itself. Both teams are 8-19. Courtesy of my son

A showcase of offenses, for sure.

Hofstra is coached by the former Krista Kilburn, PG for several of our powerhouse NC State teams in the late '80s. She was a fierce competitor.

BTW, Nan...how did your son end up at Elon?
