It is good to see USF playing on another BIG MONDAY on ESPN!!

Only if we get some production off the bench from Mary Samsonite.

Thats a lovely accent,.. New Jersey?

Put another shrimp on the barby

If we lose by only 20 that's an improvement...

Well although only a slim chance against a very dominant UCONN team, getting to the conference championship is a great accomplishment.

Nothing to lose tonight. If, by chance we pull a miracle win, it would be amazing. A close game elevates the stature of the program immensely. Especially if we make a little noise in the tourney. With most everyone returning next year, tonight provides the invaluable experience of playing in a championship game.

I just want to see the girls go out, play hard to the end and have some fun.

Someone needs to guard the chubbyish 3 point shooter. Every time I see her 3 highlights she is WIDE open.

She is the run starter.

Inside-out. They kill you with Stewart on the inside and Tuck on the outside, and they pass extremely well so it's no problem to find someone wide open.

We need a few players to get hot from 3 point range in order to spread out their defense and give Ms. Williams some room to work inside the arc. She is a natural play maker and the most dynamic player on the floor, even against UCONN.

The exposure was good for USF as they played UCONN tough in that second half. They didnt get embarassed and lose by 50 or give up 100. It was great to hear ESPN commentators talk up the future of USF womes hoops.

We fared better than ND, USC and anyone else whos played them...yet we are still unranked? It's a travesty.

 

These ladies are going to do some DAMAGE in the NCAAs...no doubt about it.

I think that the selection committee will look at us as a team that is 26-4 versus the rest of the field and 0-3 versus UCONN, improving each time we played them. Creme has us pegged as a #6 seed, although I could see us slip to a #7. If we are a #6/7 hopefully we end up in Louisville's sub-regional so that we get to host the first two rounds. 

 

We still have to show up with our A game in each round of the NCAA tournament. Our opponents will likely be 11/12 seeds and they tend to be awfully dangerous at-large teams or, in the case of Arkansas-Little Rock, the best low to mid-major conference champion. If you look at UALR's profile, it is pretty impressive and all but one of their losses was close.

Part of what holds us back is the overall low level of play within the conference. We need ALL of our conference mates to step up and make the commitment to WBB
