Hopefully, our ladies come out of the SEC Tournament with a win or two. I'd really like to see them get an invite to the ladies dance. Good luck ladies.

I haven't followed women's basketball since I was in school, and had a few friends on the team. Was this about where we thought the season would go?

Not going to pretend to follow it all that closely myself, but based on recruiting and several years worth of Curry data points... on the bubble and barely in NCAA's, seems to be about the ceiling for the program now. I will watch them some, and they can actually shoot pretty well (at least games I've seen). But seems they usually just beat the teams they are supposed to and that's about it.

i have tried to keep up but gets frustrating trying to watch this team. You have a 10 year coach with all her starters back from last that have been in the program from 1 to 5 years and this is what you get. She is never going to compete with Dawn Staley at USC, Kim Mulkey at LSU, and Harper at Tennessee but last game lost to a 4th year Ole Miss coach and the game before, Florida, to a 2nd year coach. Bottom line CKC is not anywhere near a competitive SEC coach.
