Alright folks

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I'm ready to see some maroon and white confetti raining down and some nets cut down in a few hours! Positive thinking all around! Let's do this!!

[Coach34]

Tough match-up. If we win today we will earn it.

[tireddawg]

Tough match-up. WHEN we win today we will earn it.

FIFY

[Liverpooldawg]

The key as always against them is how Aja Wilson is reffed. If they allow her to foul at will with out calling them we lose. If they call it straight up we have a great chance.

[Saltydog]

of USC team now. They're much better than they were earlier in the year and they'll take it right at McCowan, especially now that she has a foul in the first 2 minutes of the game.

[Saltydog]

NT

[Liverpooldawg]

Big T already with two fouls. They were legit too.

[starkvegasdawg]

Does Staley have her pet ref crew today?

[Quaoarsking]

Campbell playing well with McCowan on the bench. Can't ask any more of her than she's giving.

Wilson took like 5 steps on her last bucket.

[Coach34]

Yep. After the 1st one- she should have known to back off some when she doesnt have position. Awful 2nd foul

But this is good for us- because we will face this same situation in a big NCAA Tourney game. Good practice for our back-ups

[SailingDawg]

Does Staley have her pet ref crew today?

Apparently. McCowan has two fouls in 90 seconds.

[Coach34]

Does Staley have her pet ref crew today?

both fouls on Wanda were legit

[Cooterpoot]

Just a matter of time before we’re toast on defense in the low post and rebounding without her. And she’s done til 2nd half unless we get in a bind. We’re way too jacked up. Missed several easy shots already.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We are going to have to win with perimeter shooting.....

[Liverpooldawg]

Apparently. McCowan has two fouls in 90 seconds.

Those were totally legit fouls.

[starkvegasdawg]

Charge on Aja? Staley going to stroke.

[Cooterpoot]

Now we’re getting the Aja foul calls...

[Liverpooldawg]

Wilson being protected, as usual. Not good.

[starkvegasdawg]

17 these refs.

[Liverpooldawg]

Refs are doing their best forUSC.

[Coach34]

bad call on Blair

[Coach34]

SC is the aggressive team going to the basket. They are going to get calls

All we are doing is launching 3's- we arent going to draw fouls that way

[SailingDawg]

I guess the rumors about SEC refs protecting the better team are unfounded.

As I type, USCe player tucks the ball like a football and walks through the lane.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

bad call on Blair

Same Ref that called first foul on McCowan

[Liverpooldawg]

SC is the aggressive team going to the basket. They are going to get calls

All we are doing is launching 3's- we arent going to draw fouls that way

It's the nocalls that are hurting us.

[Cooterpoot]

We’re getting abused on the boards and are hurrying our shots on offense.

[Cooterpoot]

Rojo has been terrible so far today.

[Liverpooldawg]

This game s going to be an Aja Wilson game. She is being treated like an endangered species by the refs. They are nearly possible to beat when that's he case.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Victoria gassed

[Dawg61]

Bibby nervous

[Cooterpoot]

Shit show today

[Saltydog]

accomplishments and kissing her ass.

[Liverpooldawg]

Wilson climbing backs with impunity

[SailingDawg]

Shit show today

Knowing this team, it's not over...but five fouls on our inside players isn't a good sign. Not shooting well, either.

[Coach34]

SC is better right now than we are. Their young players are growing up. We have no depth

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Wilson with about 4 over the back no calls so far....

[MedDawg]

BS 3rd foul on Campbell. Wilson threw her arms up like she was shoved but she was the one shoving.

[starkvegasdawg]

Something doesn?t change we are about to get our asses handed to us.

[Coach007]

It looks like Vic is sending a message to his team.

[Liverpooldawg]

Wilson with about 4 over the back no calls so far....

Yep. They have 8 points off of them and she only has one foul........for charging.

[Cooterpoot]

It’s Aja’s swan song game and the SEC is going to let her do what she wants. We can’t breathe on her without a foul today.

[Liverpooldawg]

BS 3rd foul on Campbell. Wilson threw her arms up like she was shoved but she was the one shoving.

Yep, the no calls on Wilson are the difference in the game. I've never seen a player in any sport that is protected like she is.

[Coach34]

They are beating our ass- the officials arent.

[SailingDawg]

Refs got nothing on our scoring drought, though.

[Dawg61]

This is a choke

[Liverpooldawg]

They are beating our ass- the officials arent.

Interesting.

[Cooterpoot]

We’ve started poorly the last few games. Got to get that fixed .

[Liverpooldawg]

Wilson climbs a back again.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Shoutout to the dude that gave Ameshia Wiiliams (Tiera's backup) her issue that forced her to leave school...

[SailingDawg]

Why do the girls have to wait a week to put the tournament together?

[Coach34]

We havent scored in 7 minutes of gametime- its not because of the refs. We are shooting 22 foot shots

[SailingDawg]

Shoutout to the dude that gave Ameshia Wiiliams (Tiera's backup) her issue that forced her to leave school...

Heard about that earlier. Bad choices.

[Liverpooldawg]

Refs got nothing on our scoring drought, though.

When you don't have to worry about getting called for fouls your defense is much better.

[Liverpooldawg]

Only down by 11 playing with out Big T. Gotta take it inside in the second.

[mparkerfd20]

I guess all good things must come to an end. 17 UsC, 17 Dawn Staley, 17 A'ja Wilson, and 17 SEC refs protecting her.

[Coach34]

When you don't have to worry about getting called for fouls your defense is much better.

Not hard to defend when the other team cant beat you off the dribble and has no post game. Just let them launch 25 foot jumpers

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Why do the girls have to wait a week to put the tournament together?

So they can figure out how to put MSU and UConn in same side of bracket...

[Cooterpoot]

We came out jacked up and out of control. Missed some shots and lost McCowan and got passive. Have no offensive rebounds and 1 basket the 2nd qtr. Shit show...

[Quaoarsking]

Prediction: Teaira has a big 2nd half, Blair and Roshunda regress to their mean, and we win by 10.

[BuckyIsAB****]

C34 and Liverpool argue like an old married couple. Every thread hahahaha

[Cooterpoot]

SC exposed our weakness which is foul trouble for Mc.

[Bully13]

turning out to be a turrble weekend for hoops.

[LC Dawg]

I can?t believe we are shooting as bad as we are. Quite a few misses were great looks. 3rd quarter is obviously huge for us.

[HossDawg97]

Prediction: Teaira has a big 2nd half, Blair and Roshunda regress to their mean, and we win by 10.

I like the way you think. Here's hoping.

[drunkernhelldawg]

I haven't read the thread, but you could see we were tentative from the start. I we can get into our game, we will win. Crawling out of this hole is the first order of business.

There's always a chance that the threes won't fall. Some scoring on the inside should get the threes started going in.

Huge challenge for huge reward. Go Lady Dawgs. Best team ever.

[Coach34]

bad call there

[Liverpooldawg]

That was a stupid foul on Big T. She had her defended well, no need to hack there.

[Liverpooldawg]

bad call there
Nope, correct call.

[Saltydog]

NT

[parabrave]

not a good time for Blair to go cold.

[Coach34]

Nope, correct call.

hand is part of the ball- that should have been a no-call

[Quaoarsking]

If Blair wakes up in the 4th quarter, we win. If not, we lose.

[Liverpooldawg]

hand is part of the ball- that should have been a no-call

She got her on the arm coach. That gets called every time in every game. None of the fouls on T have been bad calls.

[Alphadog]

hand is part of the ball- that should have been a no-call

Agree. You have 2 of the best post players in the women's game, you let them go at it unless it is an obvious foul.

[Bully13]

we're battling back. I can't believe SC has lost 6 games.

[Alphadog]

She got her on the arm coach. That gets called every time in every game. None of the fouls on T have been bad calls.

Do you think Aja would have gotten called for a foul there?

[Liverpooldawg]

Agree. You have 2 of the best post players in the women's game, you let them go at it unless it is an obvious foul.

Which that was.

[Bully13]

She got her on the arm coach. That gets called every time in every game. None of the fouls on T have been bad calls.

I don't like your attitude Liver. **** LOL

[Liverpooldawg]

Do you think Aja would have gotten called for a foul there?

Aja? No way.

[Saltydog]

score.

[Alphadog]

Aja? No way.

And I would be OK with her not being called but T is the SEC d player of the year. She has earned the right to not have that called in my opinion

[Liverpooldawg]

Double dribble?

[Quaoarsking]

Aja takes 4-5 steps with no travel call again.

[Liverpooldawg]

And I would be OK with her not being called but T is the SEC d player of the year. She has earned the right to not have that called in my opinion

It was a good call. I just wish they would get Wilson off our backs.

[Dawg61]

USC has five girls in the paint for defensive rebounds vs our 1. We ain't winning today boys. Just getting slaughtered in the paint.

[Liverpooldawg]

Aja takes 4-5 steps with no travel call again.

Yep, and we get a double dribble on the other end. It must be nice to play under a different set of rules than every other player in the game.

[Alphadog]

It was a good call. I just wish they would get Wilson off our backs.

I don't think the refs have been as bad this gave as usual with her. Different game if we could hit some outside shots. V, Blair, and Ro all struggling from the outside in the same game is not good

[Liverpooldawg]

I don't think the refs have been as bad this gave as usual with her. Different game if we could hit some outside shots. V, Blair, and Ro all struggling from the outside in the same game is not good

She is still walking and climbing backs.....and the points they have off it are the difference in the game.

[Red Sox Dawg]

The refs aren’t missing shots for us. We’ve got 10 minutes to play hard as hell and win this thing.

[Coach34]

She is still walking and climbing backs.....and the points they have off it are the difference in the game.

Fake News

[LC Dawg]

We miss an open 3 and they go down and hit one. Just doesn?t look like our day but there?s still time left. Need some stops.

[Liverpooldawg]

Worst shooting game for us this year. We are getting good looks too.

[Quaoarsking]

The first time we played South Carolina, we shot 6 of 14 from 3. If we hit at that ratio today, we'd be in the lead right now.

[Liverpooldawg]

Do you really think a video showing Wilson travelling (with no whistle) is the best way to prove your point that the refs aren't affecting the game?

[msstate7]

We want no part of South Carolina in the tourney

[bulldawg28]

McCowan has two baby left feet.

[State82]

We want no part of South Carolina in the tourney

Or UCONN. That will be a bloodletting.

[Cooterpoot]

We couldn’t score if all we had to do is touch the ball. Just played pitiful today. Better today than the big dance. Still the overall #2.

[Dawg61]

Turning it off. We continue to choke in the biggest of moments.

[Coach007]

The players lost this in the first half.

[MoreCowbell]

USCe just psych?s us out. They are tougher than us and bully us. Also, Wilson is left handed, why do we not try everything to take that away and make her go right?

[Liverpooldawg]

We want no part of South Carolina in the tourney

We have played about as bad as we can play today. We can beat them, we have already done it.

[Saltydog]

mile away. UCONN is CLEARLY the best team in the country. They'd beat us by 25.

[Bully13]

we just don't match up well with SC. they lost 6 games this year. let's just hope someone knocks them out of the tourney. I don't wanna see 'em again.

[msstate7]

Or UCONN. That will be a bloodletting.

Uconn beat this South Carolina team by 25 at South Carolina

[Bully13]

mile away. UCONN is CLEARLY the best team in the country. They'd beat us by 25.

NO>

[Cooterpoot]

Our fans suck worse than this performance. Some of you are 17tards.

[Cooterpoot]

Uconn beat this South Carolina team by 25 at South Carolina

And they played like we have today.

[Coach007]

we just don't match up well with SC. they lost 6 games this year. let's just hope someone knocks them out of the tourney. I don't wanna see 'em again.

Vic sat down.... Basically he stated, either listen or I'm done talking.

[Dawg61]

Our fans suck worse than this performance. Some of you are 17tards.

Genespage <<<<<<======== that way if you're interested in kissing this team's ass for today's performance. They choked. All of them.

[Cooterpoot]

We’ve gotten zero from rojo and Blair today. Neither can make wide open shots. And there have been plenty of them.

[Quaoarsking]

Just an uncharacteristic performance all around. Plenty of blame to share, but 3/18 on 3s is probably the stat of the game.

If we were 6/18, we'd be below our season average but would be tied right now.

[Coach34]

...

Do you really think a video showing Wilson travelling (with no whistle) is the best way to prove your point that the refs aren't affecting the game?

she didnt travel there

[msstate7]

Genespage <<<<<<======== that way if you're interested in kissing this team's ass for today's performance. They choked. All of them.

Cooterpoot rips every program on men sport campus and gets mad at saying the obvious... we do not want South Carolina. What is our record vs them the past 3 years?

[Cooterpoot]

Genespage <<<<<<======== that way if you're interested in kissing this team's ass for today's performance. They choked. All of them.

You act like it?s the end of the world. Stop with your ***** ass crap. It?s simply one bad game in 33.

[Quaoarsking]

How many point-blank layups have we missed today? 4 or 5?

[LC Dawg]

This time last year anyone would be convinced UConn would beat us by 25. Didn?t happen. This is only one game. We?ll start the tourney with 2 games at the Hump and if we get hot after that anything can happen.

[Bully13]

Genespage <<<<<<======== that way if you're interested in kissing this team's ass for today's performance. They choked. All of them.

Moan Mane.

[RougeDawg]

When you shoot this badly you are gonna struggle to beat anyone.

And we?ve missed a handful of layups today. They made almost everything and we couldn?t get any to fall. If both teams shoot similar percentages we win going away.

[Quaoarsking]

she didnt travel there

Yes she did. Freeze-frame it if you need to.

[Coach34]

SC lost 3 straight without Wilson. They are basically a 3 loss team that has played alot of younger players this season. They are really good

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

The women are channeling their inner men's team. Momentum killing layups/dunks

[Coach34]

Yes she did. Freeze-frame it if you need to.

well, I dont see it and neither does anybody else outside of our fanbase- thus the reason for the tweet of her breaking VV ankles

[Cooterpoot]

Cooterpoot rips every program on men sport campus and gets mad at saying the obvious... we do not want South Carolina. What is our record vs them the past 3 years?

I rip sorry basketball and our current sorry baseball. Remind me when we’ve won the SEC in basketball. And our baseball program is a mess right now. But carry on with your sore ass.

[Dawg61]

You act like it?s the end of the world. Stop with your ***** ass crap. It?s simply one bad game in 33.

Point to where I acted like it's the end of the world. Today we shit the bed because they were nervous and still don't think they are better than USC despite being unbeaten and already beating USC once. We choked. Period. We're still a #1 seed but if we play UConn or USC in the tourney it's a loss till the girls decide they want to believe they are better.

[Alphadog]

well, I dont see it and neither does anybody else outside of our fanbase- thus the reason for the tweet of her breaking VV ankles

I didn't see a travel there either. Looked like 2 long steps to me. She's damn good

[msstate7]

I stated a while back that I have no problem with a loss headed into the tourney. We got our butts kicked today, but we are still sec champs and a 1-seed. We can bounce back from this, and could end up being beneficial

[RougeDawg]

The women are channeling their inner men's team. Momentum killing layups/dunks

On the bright side, it may be a blessing to get this terrible shooting game out of the way. Just sucks that it happened in championship game. Can?t afford any more of these type shooting games.

[shoeless joe]

Is Nancy pelosi an assistant coach for Carolina?

[HereComesTheSpiral]

I don't know why you don't put a "goon" on Wilson and just beat the shit out of her every time she gets the ball.

[Dawg61]

When's the women's selection show anyone?

[Quaoarsking]

Last year, Vic was able to turn the end-of-season bedshitting into a great NCAA Tournament run. Hope he can do it again.

[Quaoarsking]

Either a normal day in 3-point shooting OR a normal day in point-blank layups would have been enough to win. Take your pick.

[Dawg61]

SEC Champs title goes to regular season winner not SECT winner. We sucked today, it happens. There's a reason why we have the second longest winning streak in SECW basketball history. It isn't easy to win 33 games in a row.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I've only watched the last 5 minutes of this game and I think I've seen Vivians drive and miss about 10 layups.

[bostondawg]

Couldn't make a layup to save our lives today. What a joke.

[Red Sox Dawg]

SC took it to us today. We only score 51 and shoot 35%, that’s the game.

[Coach007]

WOW! Bad time to go cold!

[SailingDawg]

When's the women's selection show anyone?

Monday, March 12th.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

What a nightmare. Started with a Vivians airball and ended with a Vivians airball. Almost as shitty in between.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

SC took it to us today. We only score 51 and shoot 35%, that’s the game.

Hopefully today served as a wake up call I guess

[Bully13]

whose up for a new award vote? how 'bout a Moriarty Award?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncbEucjsNFU

[BuckyIsAB****]

All good. We didnt have it today. On to the big ones. Natty is still there

[ElectroDawg]

We played a horrible horrible game and lost by 9 to the Defending Champions. I think we are still one of the two best teams in the country.

[Quaoarsking]

2 years ago, South Carolina was a 1-seed and had national title aspirations, but they got their ass handed to them by Syracuse in the S16 on an off-day.

We will repeat their history if we play like this beyond the first weekend of the tournament.

[LC Dawg]

Kinda off topic but how the hell did Tenn not win 4 SEC tourneys in a row? I would have guessed they had won 10 in a row.

[Dawg61]

whose up for a new award vote? how 'bout a Moriarty Award?

You love that movie entirely way too much

[Percho]

Interesting.

The plan was to make her go right. V over played to the left. result missed shot over TM.

[Bully13]

You love that movie entirely way too much

yep, maybe so.

[BeardoMSU]

Aja had 1 foul!...one, uno, ein.....how the ****? She body bumped Tori at least 3 times on those drives (the exact same type of foul that was automatic on McGowan for her 2nd)....****ing refs.

Just started a thread on this same thing. Got to let that call go on T. You can't put a player of her magnitude on the bench for that call

[tcdog70]

mile away. UCONN is CLEARLY the best team in the country. They'd beat us by 25.

Well that is a Shitty post. We have just won 32 in a row and you want to shit on our team. Weren't they clearly the best team in the country last year?? How did that work for them ? Eat shit and run rabbits. Nothing like a hater

[tcdog70]

I've only watched the last 5 minutes of this game and I think I've seen Vivians drive and miss about 10 layups.

How many was she pushed on? About half.

[tcdog70]

You can't sit Big t for almost a half against SC. Run a zone and hide Her, then you still have her on offense. She finished with 3 fouls. Put her in and play.

[DawgRockur]

We got beat because we couldn?t knock down shot. We are the better team, we just got beat.

[RocketDawg]

Just finished watching my recording after getting home. That's easily our worst game of the year. I don't think Blair scored at all, we didn't have an offensive rebound in the entire first half and only a couple in the second half. We basically just got manhandled. I think the girls were all up tight and South Carolina girls were not. On to the next game now. Great season but a tough loss at the end.

[maroonmania]

I apologize for attending the game today. Apparently I jinxed our team. Out of 33 games its the only game I've watched in person and of course we play our worst game of the year and take our only loss. Don't know if it was tired legs or what but we couldn't buy a shot today no matter how open. Blair was just totally off today. Believe she could have tossed up 20 more open 3s and still not hit one. I also agree we sat Big T too long in the first half. We needed her as much to have some inside offense against their bigs as we needed her defense. She didn't play any in the 2nd Q and we score 5 free throws and that was it. Not one point from the field and we went down double digits going into halftime. Yes, the officiating was terrible as usual especially with regards to Wilson but it didn't end up being a big factor because we played so poorly that we really didn't keep the game close. Just wasn't our day I guess.
