I would comment on this, but I see comments are closed.

Ha! Ha!

I was confused when I saw that, but then realized it was from the WNIT article where they didn't allow comments.

From what I have heard the WBB team is not playing up to expectations so far. Hope they are better before a step up in competition.

I think Baylor won by about 40 or so points.  We need to play much better than the 1st two games to have a shot.  For all the talk about the extra practices and playing in Spain, we certainly don't like we are more advanced than the other teams right now.

At least their coach knows who we are. LOL

Mulkey: "We need a good crowd here Thursday"

`
“We need a good crowd here Thursday. [South Florida] has 5 returning starters, 9 international players, 

They only lost to UConn by 14, they only lost seven games last year, three of those were to Connecticut – that team is poised right now, they’re polished. 

We need people here Thursday. 

If you have season tickets and they're along that court, give those tickets up if you’re not coming. 

We need people. It means a great deal. People respect this program. 

We must not become complacent. We need to do whatever we can to have a good crowd Thursday.”

Feels great to have such obvious respect for our team from the head coach of a team ranked 4th/5th in the country. You can tell it's not the typical rhetoric of an opposing coach but a genuine concern that she might lose if her team doesn't play their absolute best. Wish that was where we were at in men's basketball and football. Beat Baylor!

Big time test early in the season
