Week 13 - Jan 26 to Feb 1

[cancontent]

It’s weird that USC has semed so discombobulated lately and Iowa almost for real.

Great word to describe USC recently. In my opinion, had they not averaged 20+ turnovers in their games against Michigan State and Michigan, they may have been able to steal a win or two last week. And a lot of them were unforced, which made things even worse.

10 games left. They will be lucky to go 5-5.

I think you are forgetting they have to make up the first Ole Miss Game and you need to relook at their schedule… there is NO WAY they go 5-5. Honestly, their only guaranteed win is vs Texas A&M. Even home vs Mizzou is a risk of a loss (and highly ironic if it does occur!). They play at Georgia, SC, Texas, LSU, Ole Miss (twice) Oklahoma and Vandy. How do you see 5 wins? Oh and they play us Sunday….

I think you to need look at their schedule, as the Ole Miss makeup game has already been set. They do not play Ole Miss twice.

I said "they would be lucky to win 5."

ND lost to Cal. The ship be sinkin 13-8/5-5

I bet HH is getting back channel messages to consider transferring

Could it be a mutual decision, Ivey will have s talented class of newcomers. Maybe time to reset and start from scratch?

It’s all over twitter for her to go to Texas

 

[visitingcock]

It’s all over twitter for her to go to Texas

Texas losing Harmon.
SCar losing Raven
UCLA losing Rice

BUT, do they want her. None of those coaches like free lancers. PG's are expected to be team leaders - not scoring leaders. She has the skills, but would she fit?

How would she and Fulwiley fit at LSU? They would get a bunch of steals!

If Ivey actually thought HH should move on, she should be fired. One of the best players in the country, and someone who has been loyal to NI when others have been criticizing her ... that would be a BAD look.

There might have been a case last year if HH was disruptive, but this year she's the entire roll of duct tape holding that team together.

Without her, ND would be back to this:
[you'll have to imagine what I'm referring to since I cant find it. oh @Plebe where are you?]

Can I help?

I think Hidalgo at Texas would make a lot of sense. And I think the SEC is the perfect conference to go to if you want to prepare for the WNBA.

After losing Raven and Ta'Niya, having interest in Hannah, should she leave ND, would make sense. That said, I am anticipating a huge jump from Mouse and I believe that Tessa will continue to grow into a superstar guard. Those two factors would make it less likely that Hannah lands in Columbia.

As for Texas and Hannah, meh. She may be a good fit stylistically for Texas, but her personality may clash with that of Vic (who has shown himself to be rather sensitive these last few weeks).

 

[Bjbod]

Wow Iowa getting blowed out at USC. Down 20.

And then they've gotta play UCLA on Sunday. 🫣

Loss of Taylor McCabe is going to be a bigger deal than many realize. Senior starter who's played on two Final Four teams is hard to replace.

 

[triaddukefan]

Can we we speculate on transfers? If so, I have a few players in mind to help out High Point, UNCG and NCA&T

 

[Baller29]

Vandy is cooked

 

[Txhoopsalot]

In a weather delayed game being played in Birmingham, Ole Miss takes a 19-point lead over Vanderbilt into halftime.

Check it now! Big Vandy comeback. 5 minutes left

 

[Centerstream]

Check it now! Big Vandy comeback. 5 minutes left

Vandy's Big comeback not enough, lose 83-75.

Unfortunately, they ran out of time, but they did whittle it down to an 8 point loss. The lack of production from Vandy's bench hurt too.

[Iluvacc2]

Some redemption for Coach Yo. And I must add, I was in the Vandy has been overrated crowd 😬

 

[Vowelguy]

LSU and Louisville looking good for 2 seeds

Iowa with injury and big home road loss plus 2 straight losses for Vandy puts them in trouble.

 

[ucmiami2]

Gotcha. There's a lot of crazy this early in comparing conference vs overall standings, I just like to see what happened over the next few weeks.

With the extended conferences and very few home/home games, even half way through the conference schedule teams can have either really tough games in the books, or be facing a really tough home stretch. TN for example plays 7 ranked conference foes and only 2 unranked the rest of the way including current #3, 4 , 5, 6, 10, and 17 plus the OOC #1 this Sunday having started conference play 6-0 they could well end up with 7 conference losses. and a 9-7 record.

 

[JellyBean]

Columbia giving Princeton the business!

I think Hidalgo at Texas would make a lot of sense. And I think the SEC is the perfect conference to go to if you want to prepare for the WNBA.

I feel like this would be a terrible choice for Texas. Bryanna Preston is the exact mold of PG that Vic likes and is waiting in the wings. They also have Booker who did an excellent job running point as a freshman. Hidalgo coming in and taking 15+ shots per game and running all over the court defensively doesn't fit in with Texas's style of play. Not to mention Texas is absolutely loaded next year on the wing and needs a pass first PG to distribute the ball.

Somewhat ironically, I think TCU would be a good fit for Hannah if she were to leave. Campbell can build the team around her, they have money to pay players well along with a couple of nice returning pieces in Hunter and Silva. Maryland and Ole Miss are other options too. Kentucky too with Tonie Morgan graduating.
