Does it suck as a player as a player or does it suck financially for the players. I get where you're coming from, but if it's NIL based and financially motivated I don't think that's fair to put on the fans or the program. I agree the landscape has changed and we've dropped the ball in that...

But i'd also think the counter argument to that would be if he hated it that badly why wait 5 years to leave? That's the part that doesn't make sense to me.

Agreed. He's given 5 years to Iowa which before covid was a full college career. He wants to play somewhere else for a 6th year, IMO so what, let him. I don't think think less of him for doing so or feel that he's obligated to his dad to stay here or that it reflects negatively on Fran for...

I agree completely that it hasn't been for a lack of talent and agree with your take. Which is why I'd be pleasantly surprised to see next years team make the tourney, because I've seen it play out over and over.

I love the optimism I really do, but we've yet to make a Sweet 16 under Fran's leadership. I like the roster and possibilities, but we've had better rosters with more complete bench's come up short under Fran. Hope I'm wrong and would love to eat crow, but I remain skeptical and feel we're a...

Never in my wildest mind did I ever think I'd be a women's hoops fan as I was one of those that never gave it a chance, because of the way it was played below the rim and what I blindly saw as a lack of athleticism. Bought in a few years ago, as nothing more then a spectator watching them win...

Agree with you that while Clark gets the recognition (and rightfully so) the team is 100% behind her and have bought into it. I read an article the other day talking about how Clark carries her teammates, but I think they've made a great deal of personal sacrifices to accept supporting roles...

I agree about trying to run on them and the importance of a good game plan. That said Lisa's squaring off against Geno and I don't see him being outcoached. We benefitted a great deal from mistakes Kim made that we were able to exploit. If/when we win it's going to be about the players on the...

I'd take her in black and gold. She was not the player or person at LSU that she was at Louisville and I think transferring in to a National Champ trying to win another she did whatever she could to fit in, but never really did. I wanted her when she transferred out of Louisville and I'd take...

My take is she's a fierce competitor who's game reminds me of Draymond Green's before everyone got tired of the antics. On your team you love her and tbh she may be a great teammate and person off the court, I'll take their word about her character because I don't know her and have only seen...

I wish him the best but will truly feel a slap in the face if he chooses Indiana or Oregon.

I think this day and age it's a no brainer to at least put your name in the ring to get evaluated. Absolutely no harm, whether good enough or not to get assessed and know where you currently are and where you need to improve. We'll see back in college ball next season and hopefully he'll still...

Maybe because of the men's team I find my standards are too low, but TBH I'm just enjoying the right and don't have that "they must win" mentality. I absolutely want them to continue to advance but at this point based on the level of competition don't feel as though I'd be disappointed with a...

LOL...Forgot i used have used different verbiage.

They all stepped up and played huge. It's so easy to say that Caitlin carried the team, but TBH I think her teammates put her in a position to shine last night and they each perfectly complemented each other.
