That team had the talent to go further each of the last two seasons. Anyone I talked to USF Women's basketball about last year said the same thing. Our players looked scored to shoot the ball at times. It was the watch Courtney show. Great player, we depended on her way to much. We will compare shots taking distro last season compared to this season at end. This team has a chance to go much further then last years team. Just my gut feeling. To be fair, for a good portion of the season, we were not at full strength and had injuries to key players. Even at the dance we had some injured players. It would have been nice to see how a completey heathy USF team would have done. But your point about players waiting for Courtney to do her thing, imo, is valid. This year we again have injuries with Enna out for the entire season with an ACL, Nachalie coming off of knee surgery and Laura with her chronic foot problem. Hopefully, Nachalie comes back, stays healthy and is in form, and that Laura can still play, even in a limited capacity. If so, with our weak schedule and also winning the Play4Kay tourney we could conceivably start out 14-0 and ranked within the top 15 when we play @UCONN. It's not that far fetched.

Nope mine are all truth.Continue to look at things through green and gold goggles. But it is what it is. I'm thankful we appear to be fully be turned in the NCAA direction. You can call Jose nice and loyal all you want. I agree with both. Good coach, but lets not act like if he leaves we can't find a better replacement.

Completely agree with you. I guess I need to clarify, I'm not saying we had a bad season. I'm saying we had an easy offense to defend for the better teams. It led to losses. It showed every time we played a ranked opponent last season. The top teams would never play offense like that unless they had to. We CHOOSE to play that way. Was frustrating to watch. Thank (whoever you pray to) KL started to step up. Definitely hope Laura can get some solid minutes this year. Hate that she's injured, I love her game! We have a better shot at Uconn this season. We play better team ball. That's what lacked last season against the more talented competition and deep down CJF knows it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing lacking for us the past couple of years, has been too few big players. This season we are a much bigger team and are starting to see the results of that with stronger rebounding. There will hardly be any teams we play who can match our size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish he had these results a couple years ago. We'd be ranked no questions asked right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with these results a couple of years ago, with the horses we lost, we wouldn't have been ranked going into this season. Takes awhile to earn that pedigree.

Solid crowd over there. Yes, the Bone yard has a solid crowd. Of course, it's easy to be nice when your team never loses. So, it warms my heart to post this there even though it won't last: Thought I should post this here now, because it won't happen again after we play FIU tonight.
