What’s the deal? I thought we were suppose to be passable this year since we gave the coach an extension through 2022. The team was picked 3rd in preseason which I presume is a borderline bubble tournament team. I admit I haven’t followed women’s hoops since Chandi Jones was here a million years ago, but just curious why we are so mediocre in year 5 of coach’s program.

Tougher schedule this year, but the big issue is we can’t shoot. Percentages are down across the board.

Why didn’t Alyssa Okoene play?

Not sure, but she played today.
