What else can you say? Watched today's game at SMU. Jose has them run good sets and gets them open shots, but there is little pure talent left to execute it. His latest bunch of euros need a lot of work. There's no Laksa, Jesperson, Ferriara, Flores or Orekova among them. They also caught whatever the men have at the free throw line today - 10-for-22. SMU was lousy. We were worse.

Take 3 starters and the top 2 of the 3 players from any hoops team in the world and they will struggle.

Short term pain, long term gain with this team.  

Go Bulls!

The fact that they are still able to compete without Kit, Ferreira, Jordao, Rader, Serrat, ect says a ton about what Coach Fernandez has built here.

Crazy to think 3 weeks ago today my girl's team saw the last game this season with the starters (at Temple).

How quickly things can change.

Go Bulls!

No doubt it's stacked against us. Just surprised how poorly they're shooting the ball. That's always a strong point with the gals game. You don't usually see a women's team shooting 30 percent from the floor and even worse from three.

This has me worried for the long term.  Ferreira is gone after this year and Laksa may turn pro although she would miss this upcoming season.  So I'm hoping she'll be back.  But I don't see anyone currently on the floor for us that stands out.  The shooting is a real problem in games.  I've seen them make them at practice so hopefully this is a team slump.  Someone needs to see the ball go in the basket and warm up.  Maybe the rest will follow.  Courtney Williams has cut her hair so maybe she could come back under another name.

I agree, he may have whiffed on his latest batch of euros. We'll see.

Inga was not a Euro recruit...she played high school ball in the USA.

Massey had USF ranked 89, SMU 214... gave the Bulls an 82% chance of winning by 10 (63-53)   Memphis @ 216 after we lost to them.
