tOSU is not impressing me.

 

[Geew1992]

Is Jacy Sheldon sitting on the bench w/ the Buckeyes? If not, they have her doppleganger.

Yes she is

 

[Jonathan14]

Yes she is

Is she that upset with getting traded to the Sun that she's decided to return to school?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Yes she is

Ah. Looked it up, she's director of player development.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Yeah, really really unimpressed w/ Ohio St. today. Any decent team would've beaten them. Washington isn't quite that.



This makes 5 losses in the last 6 games for UW. Time to dust off my "Fire Langley" sign.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Really interesting that A'ja and Caitlin had their jersey retirements on the same day. South Carolina waited almost as long to do it as Washington did w/ Plum, while Iowa waited no time at all, just like they did with Gustafson.

Ah. Both wear 22 and it's 2/2.

 

[triaddukefan]

Looks like it lasted

She's working in an assistant/player development type of capacity during the off-season.

South Carolina requires a 5 year waiting period before an athlete gets their jersey retired, which begins at the conclusion of their final year at USC. A'ja's last year was in 2018, so I think we could have retired it last year but I guess schedules didn't line up. It's kind of crazy to think that we're a little over one generation (the freshie years) removed from the A'ja Wilson years.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I would still think usc is ahead of us in the race for a one seed.

They play UCLA 2x at the end of the season.

The current UConn standard is being named to the Naismith Hall of Fame. That takes 15-25 years for most players.

 

[visitingcock]

They play UCLA 2x at the end of the season.

And very possibly 3x with the Big 10 tournament. Like we face Texas again and possibly a third time in the SEC tournament.

A lotta BB to be played.

The SEC seems to have front loaded it’s regular season while the Big Ten seems to have backloaded.

Th

tOSU is not impressing me.

They have a gaudy record but their SOS may be the weakest of the teams of the top 16. The next few weeks are tough for them though. We’ll see pretty soon with this week’s Cali road trip.

 

[PhilipVU94]

Okay, Vandy did start scoring eventually, but looks like it was never really close. Ole Miss wins 76-61.

That was embarrassing. I really liked Shea's tone in postgame -- less angry than one might think but very clear about the lack of preparation (on herself) and lack of effort. I have no doubt the staff and team will resolve this quickly.
