True statement, even though womens basketball has improved alot there is still alot of bad basketball being played at every level. 33 ppg will translate to College for sure. Madison Francis has that it factor and she will be good right away.. the only question is will we be able to keep her.Quote:

The fact that in 3 years he's made the Round of 32 twice is even better.
Women's hoops will be an irrelevant sport at MSU again in another year or two.
That's a shame. Dollars spent there probably have a relatively high ROI as far as sports go.Quote:

How do you figure this? Is it because of NIL and us not having money as people keep saying? How are other similar programs like us figuring it out? Womens basketball has come a very long way, it's right behind College football and Mens basketball as far as views go. We went to 2 National Championships in Women's basketball and still have a pretty solid fan base, I would hope we could figure out how to stay relevant.Quote:

Obviously private donors can, and will, provide additional funds for football and men's basketball. Baseball will probably be able to be funded pretty well on private donations, but what about the sports that don't have that type of fan base. I mean women's basketball and all the other sports are going to pretty much have to be fully privately funded. Do those sports have enough loyal and influential donors that they could get that type of financial support? It doesn't seem likely.Quote:

Saw where Miss. State center Rocio Jimenez made Winter 2024-2025 SEC Academic Honor Roll. Had been looking for additional updates on her. Appears she's doing well in classes. Again, best to her as she continues to move forward .
WBB will be baaaad next year.
We have 9 players right now. Gotta fill out the roster before you say that. Sam has 6 players to get and he usually recruits well.Quote:
