Lady Dogs vs South Carolina

[RocketDawg]

Just about to start.

[RocketDawg]

I don't think Dawn Staley has her USC referee there today.

[starkvegasdawg]

I don't think Dawn Staley has her USC referee there today.

Of course.

[RocketDawg]

Do the girls flop more than the guys? Maybe it's just more obvious. I'll never forget the near-death experience of Katie Lou.

[parabrave]

Well flopping being encouraged today.

[parabrave]

I don't think Dawn Staley has her USC referee there today.

Think again/

[Saltydog]

Not very many.

[mparkerfd20]

So far T is playing like shit on D letting folks run around her

[West Tn Dawg]

Is this the SC network?

[KOdawg1]

We can beat SC on our court. At their's or a neutral court? Not so much

[West Tn Dawg]

So far T is playing like shit on D letting folks run around her

And stripes letting them run through her!

[Saltydog]

NT

[mparkerfd20]

Co-SEC Champs it will be

[KOdawg1]

NT

Our's can't shoot and they (and everyone else) know it

[CadaverDawg]

We're not nearly as good this year. Still good, but lack outside shooters and McCowan's lack of speed kills us. Surprised we're 26-2

[Saltydog]

that. We have some glaring deficiencies.

[West Tn Dawg]

Our's can't shoot and they (and everyone else) know it

Can't shoot, or won't shoot?

[Irondawg]

Those two over the backs were a bit weak, especially the first one

[RocketDawg]

Think again/

Re-red. I DO NOT think she's there. Or if she is, she has a new hair do.

[KOdawg1]

Can't shoot, or won't shoot?

Won't is more correct. Jazzy has a pretty good FG%, she just doesn't shoot

[West Tn Dawg]

Won't is more correct. Jazzy has a pretty good FG%, she just doesn't shoot

The last half of the season they will be wide open and pass it off.

[CadaverDawg]

McCowan frustrates me because she doesn't demand the ball. She can take over every game, but doesn't. She disappears and that can't happen with the biggest player in women's hoops. She just doesn't have that "I'm a badass, watch and I'll show you" attitude. Not knocking her, some just don't have that in them. But at times she just doesn't act like she wants it as bad as her opponents. I know it's frustrating to get mugged every play, but you can choose to let it motivate you or take you out of your game

[Quaoarsking]

that. We have some glaring deficiencies.

We "might get to" the Sweet 16?? Come on man.

There's never any guarantees obviously, but anything less than the Elite 8 is a huge disappointment and means we got upset by somebody. Even if we lose today (which is far from certain), we'll stay a 2 seed.

[RocketDawg]

AEH is doing a good job today. She's probably our best shooter.

[parabrave]

These refs just plain suck.

[RocketDawg]

It's about to get out of hand. We need the halft time break. And McCowan finally scores.

[CadaverDawg]

South Carolina plays like we used to before we were a favorite every game. They win every 50/50 ball, play with high energy the whole game, take charges, have active hands, and act like they want it more. They look like a bunch of Dillinghams out there

[RocketDawg]

These refs just plain suck.

Yep, and that's why McCowan can't be agressive ... they'll foul her out. They just overlooked Howard getting hacked on the arm.

[Irondawg]

Yeah they are much quicker defensively than we are and it's showing. We have a ton of turnovers and their guards have forced most of them.

[parabrave]

So when SC hacks its ok but if we breathe on them its a foul. Vic gonna go ballistic before half

[CadaverDawg]

Refs are a damn joke

[Bdawg]

Just awful to watch our guards sitting at the three point line and they are backed way off daring us to shoot and still won't take it.

[Bdawg]

Refs are a damn joke


Awful no call on Howard earlier

[Irondawg]

Wow, SC has 8 blocks this half

[West Tn Dawg]

Just awful to watch our guards sitting at the three point line and they are backed way off daring us to shoot and still won't take it.

This has frustrated me half the season!!!!!!!!!!!

[starkvegasdawg]

And the three at the buzzer...again.

[Irondawg]

SC hit 3's at the end of each quarter. That's really the difference so far on the scoreboard.


We've got to tighten up a bit on D (or go zone) and we've got to clean up the offense.

[West Tn Dawg]

And the three at the buzzer...again.

I'll bet we give up more buzzer beaters than anyone in the country!

[CadaverDawg]

And the three at the buzzer...again.

Have to step out there with the clock running down

[Bdawg]

Nice little run to tighten it up and they hit a freakin long range 3 to end the half. Jeez.

[mechdog]

Is it just me or does SC hit every single buzzer beater they take against us?

[CadaverDawg]

Tallest player in the country and we have 0 blocks in the half. They have 8. That means McCowan isn't active on D and isn't active on O. This team 100% can't make a deep run with T's current statline.

[CadaverDawg]

Is it just me or does SC hit every single buzzer beater they take against us?

They play at a different level vs us every time. The bad part of being the top dog, get everyone's best shot

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Tallest player in the country and we have 0 blocks in the half. They have 8. That means McCowan isn't active on D and isn't active on O. This team 100% can't make a deep run with T's current statline.

We're at SC, T gets a foul for farting on that court.

[West Tn Dawg]

We're at SC, T gets a foul for farting on that court.

She gets a foul just for being on the floor!:mad:

[CadaverDawg]

We're at SC, T gets a foul for farting on that court.

Then she needs to learn to flop. Can't let them take you out of your game. If you foul out and lose, oh well...better than losing because you allow them to make you play scared and become a non factor, imo

[parabrave]

Well lets see what adjustments Vic makes but I think the refs have taken T out when they called those BS calls on her. Hopefully we go to the basket more and lay off the 3s.

[Saltydog]

can't jump up without falling down.

[KOdawg1]

The refs are not going to give us anything. We need to stop playing like they're going to. Start hitting shots. Get AEH and Howard open looks. If they're playing 4 feet off of Holmes and Danberry, pull that SOB and pop it. I'm okay with a missed shot if it's an open look. T needs to get her shit together.

Vic needs to go to zone in the second half to stop them from driving.

[Msu65]

So far T is playing like shit on D letting folks run around her

As long as Vic insists on having her follow the post player to the top of the circle in man to man , every team with decent guards can do the same thing. She is just too slow to get back. She should be protecting the rim, but The coach has said he absolutely hates to run zone. I will never understand that. Seems to me like having one more tool in the Arsenal never hurts. At least change the look once in a while. But that won?t happen. Plus Howard seems absolutely reluctant to shoot a three pointer. Even wide open when the defenses collapse on T.

[starkvegasdawg]

Tallest player in the country and we have 0 blocks in the half. They have 8. That means McCowan isn't active on D and isn't active on O. This team 100% can't make a deep run with T's current statline.

Can't block shots when her tall butt is on the three point line.

[RocketDawg]

15 for SC took two or three steps there and they got the ball out of bounds.

[RocketDawg]

Can't block shots when her tall butt is on the three point line.

I'm far from a coach, but I don't see why she ever moves out of the paint on defense.

[parabrave]

Vic needed to do that.

[Cloak]

I love Vic

[RocketDawg]

Danberry coming on a bit.

[parabrave]

Great run going.

[KOdawg1]

That tech has us playing better

[West Tn Dawg]

Great run going.

Stripes will shut that down quick!

[RocketDawg]

Maybe Vic's T got them fired up a bit.

[starkvegasdawg]

I'm far from a coach, but I don't see why she ever moves out of the paint on defense.

Me either.

[parabrave]

Wow they are finally calling fouls on the gramers/roosters. Sorry can't Gamecocks when the girls are playing. It just ain't right

[Scared_Hitless]

We need to get to the 4th without anymore fouls. We are the better team Vic lighting into that refs ass seemed to make the game more fair.

[parabrave]

Maybe Vic's T got them fired up a bit.

I wish Moorhead would take gameday coaching lessons from Vic

[KOdawg1]

I wish Moorhead would take gameday coaching lessons from Vic

And Ben Howland too

[RocketDawg]

And Ben Howland too

Don't think I've ever seen Howland get a Technical.

[RocketDawg]

McCowan's coming around a little. Maybe she woke up after the long trip over to Columbia.

[KOdawg1]

Don't think I've ever seen Howland get a Technical.

Just seems to have that "Oh well" look on his face

[parabrave]

Big T woke up and is playing like a madwoman. And isn't playing scared anymore.

[KOdawg1]

Won that quarter. One more away from being outright SEC champs

[parabrave]

Keep pouring it on Girls.

[Quaoarsking]

So is the SEC trophy there? Will there be some kind of ceremony after the game?

[RocketDawg]

Big turnaround. Let's hope we can keep it up. 21 point turnaround in fact.

[West Tn Dawg]

Just match them shot for shot now, and it is ours! BURN CLOCK!!!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Vic is a beast

[Cooterpoot]

Howard is a rebounding beast

[West Tn Dawg]

Howard is a rebounding beast

Always running to the ball! She is bad ass!

[LC Dawg]

Vic is a beast

Like a goat?

[KOdawg1]

Burn clock, burn

[West Tn Dawg]

Like a goat?

exactly like!

[Ari Gold]

Don't think I've ever seen Howland get a Technical.

Maybe CBH should be like Kermit , throw his jacket , and get a technical foul that cost his team a chance to win..

[No BS Dawg]

This one is playing out similar to the game in Starkville. They hung around for a half and we slowly increase the lead and break their will to compete.

[RocketDawg]

Burn clock, burn

Can't burn that much. Need some more scoring, and McCowan under the basket is a good option. And we need to make all our foul shots.

[Cooterpoot]

Offense is out of control and sloppy again.

[No BS Dawg]

Yep and, of course, here comes USC hitting a three.

[RocketDawg]

I wonder if he'll put AEH back in. I think we need her in.

[BorneDawg]

This retarded announcer can't do simple math! Twice has miscalled the point difference

[parabrave]

Come on girls need to play smarter

[Cooterpoot]

Better get Hunter back in

[Cooterpoot]

No touches for T is terrible offense

[KOdawg1]

Maybe CBH should be like Kermit , throw his jacket , and get a technical foul that cost his team a chance to win..

It's all about when you do it. End of the game? hell no.

[starkvegasdawg]

Giving up too many second chance points.

[parabrave]

Dam it seems we went into a stall and lost any momentum we had built. Big score T

[parabrave]

F U REFS

[RocketDawg]

That inadvertent whistle just cost us 2 points. Could affect the game outcome.

[Cooterpoot]

Refs going for the knees

[Saltydog]

NT

[Bdawg]

Are you kidding me

[Quaoarsking]

Well that was a screwjob

[parabrave]

How in the F do you blow the whistle inadvertently.

[Cooterpoot]

SEC refs are the worst in America

[Cloak]

WOW an inadvertent whistle? LOL come on now don't make it so obvious

[MedDawg]

Are you kidding me

USC player ran over Jazzmun to steal that ball

[RocketDawg]

Need to make these FTs.

[Quaoarsking]

In an inadvertent whistle situation, the ref should just hand the ball to the player on the exact spot on the court she actually was.

[parabrave]

Come on Jordan we need these.

[Irondawg]

that was terrible. Flat out terrible

[RocketDawg]

Got it now. 3 up and McCowan at the line.

[RocketDawg]

So, do they make another 3 at the buzzer?

[Cloak]

Game. Mccowan says f*** giving them a chance to hit another buzzer 3

[parabrave]

Let them shoot and don't foul.

[parabrave]

No replay of the 72 USA Russia game here.

[RocketDawg]

Game.

[mparkerfd20]

SEC Champs

[West Tn Dawg]

How in the F do you blow the whistle inadvertently.

It's easy, Staley kicks you in the nuts!

[Irondawg]

nice work girls.

Congratulations!

[No BS Dawg]

Praise the Lord and Go Dawgs!

[timotheus]

Congrats to Coach Vic. HE is truly one of the best.

[Saltydog]

NT

[West Tn Dawg]

CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!

[parabrave]

SEC Champs again and beatin SC there is just lagniappe. Great way to overcome those refs Big T. Play of the game was Vic getting the T.

[CadaverDawg]

Boom! Awesome effort in the 2nd half. SEC Champs!!

[LC Dawg]

You knew they had a run in them and we withstood it. Wasn't perfect but a great game nonetheless. Great job by the women and coaches. SEC Champs! Hail State!

[West Tn Dawg]

Would have been nice beating MO. and this game not mattering, but it sure is sweet to TAKE it from them!

[smootness]

31-1 in conference the last 2 years. Pretty nuts.

[parabrave]

Well can't wait for SECN to make excuses for SCe.

[WSOPdawg]

Outstanding to go on the road and win the SEC championship over USCe... can't stand Staley!!! Great job, Dogs!

[parabrave]

Why is the SEC Tourney being played in Greenville SC. That town is Clemson and ACC country. Heck they even hate the gamecocks up there.

[basedog]

T is a rebounding machine, it's her way to make some money on the next level.

[Bdawg]

Congrats girls and Coach Vic!! Very nice breaking their hearts on the home floor!

[Commercecomet24]

Heckuva an effort in second half! Congrats to Vic and the ladies!

[Leeshouldveflanked]

You would think they would put in a central, easy to get to location to sell tickets and give fans a chance to attend, but I guess they want to have it as close to Dawn Staley as possible.

[parabrave]

So just wondering if the girls get to cut down the nets there and make Staley watch?

[RocketDawg]

Nashville would be perfect. Centrally located for everybody, lots of hotel rooms, and lots of other things to do. Plus, it's only about 100 miles from me.

[starkvegasdawg]

So just wondering if the girls get to cut down the nets there and make Staley watch?

Cut them down and then leave them at half court.

[parabrave]

Nashville would be perfect. Centrally located for everybody, lots of hotel rooms, and lots of other things to do. Plus, it's only about 100 miles from me.

Biloxi would be even better. Nice venue, plenty of hotel rooms and much nicer weather.

[parabrave]

Just thought about it. Today Vic tripled spanked DS. Won the SEC championship, won it at their place and lastly won it on their Senior night.

[BeardoMSU]

I wish we could use Vic to motivate/make half-time adjustments in all our sports....That dude is the boss.

[West Tn Dawg]

It was not a clean sweep tho. They did win a chicken sandwich!!!:cool:
