Just a horrible first half for the Lady Dawgs vs Georgia. Sixteen points. 20.8% from the floor. 1-10 from 3. Down 15.
I have not watched a women's game this year in its entirety, but did watch parts of both our beatdowns by OM and have kept up with scores and W/L. Before the season started, in the team videos Purcell seemed to come across as wanting to be the players' buddy. JoMo 2.0, but basketball? He also reminds me of a character that should be on Andy of Mayberry.***. May be another typical Cohen parting gift. JMO. Maybe he just needs his players. They sure looked better under interim Coach Norvell.
Georgia 52, Dawgs 27. End of 3. Ladies have committed 21 turnovers already. Oof.
No other way to say it. Just an embarrassing loss 62-34. Lowest point total of the season (previous 50 points).
Stat line that is almost unbelievably bad:
26.7% from the field, 12-45
8-14 from FTL, 57.1%
13.3% from 3, 2-15
27 turnovers
No words.
New AD going to get to make a hire pretty quickly
This team is likely going to the NCAA Tournament after having missed it the last 2 years, so probably not?Quote:

Way too much talent on this team to get beat the way we have the last 2 games.
Jessika Carter, the Hayes sisters, Jerkaila Jordan, Debreasha Powe, Alana Smith, Ramani Parker, Kourtney Weber are all ESPN hoopgurlz top 100 players. Some of them are ranked on the high end... I liked Purcell in the beginning but I'm starting to dislike what I'm seeing, he appears to be too friendly and wants the girls to love him, there are times you have to be mean and I don't see that in him. This was embarrassing
In the same boat as you. I was initially excited about the hire and the stuff he said, but he seems to have a little jomo in him with wanting to be friends instead of coach
Looks like locker room issues. Short of running off two or three, I don't know how a coach fixes it. It's probably more on the assistants.
Do tell. Thought we had fixed that with the diva leaving.Quote:

Hmmm ....... not at all sure that's indicative of locker room issues.Quote:

Classic Cohen Hire.Quote:

Vic is not coming back and our WBB program went out the door when he did. Got too much to worry about with men's big 3 sports than to lose any sleep over any of our women's sports. It was fun while it lasted.Quote:

We need a total reboot in that locker room. Not because they're problems, but they just aren't a good team.
Purcell has a solid class. He's supposedly a strong recruiter. It's time to start the youth movement ASAP.
The problem was Rickea Jackson. Now she's gone.Quote:

If what you are saying is true we lose alot of this team next year. Jessika Carter, Annie Hayes, A. Johnson, Kourtney Weber, Ahlana Smith and probably the other 2 Hayes sisters are gone next year so he will have his girls.. I know he can recruit but his coaching is what is unknown stillQuote:
