Speaking of Northwestern, I think their passion outweighs talent every year. Sure you need both but they seem to do more with less.

Attracts better talent. Players with pro aspirations will see a coach who's gotten guys drafted in back to back years here.

How much of getting those guys here was from their relationship with Coach Matt vs. wanting to play for Fred? 

Go Big Fred 

So we are a good shooting team after all! 

Nice lil 18-2 run to end the half

I think That’s why he said half the game I believe. No reason he shouldn’t of played in 1st half

Andre didn’t enter the game but still found a way to get on the court….

Twitter and ESPN also had fun with Trey wheeling onto the court

They call a ticky tack foul with 7.2 seconds in regulation.  I told the wife that we aren't getting that call, and Verge gets hammered, and nothing called on a lay-up.

Home cookin 

I need to go throw up like goggles did 

Missed Free throws. And the refs. Both killed us 

Please win this damn game 

Loved seeing double digit assists from Verge, give the guy a break. 
 

My guess is Lat is one of the players lighting it up from 3p% in practice, bc why else would you play him 36 minutes?  I’d like to see Kobe’s 12 min swap with Lat’s 36 min. Just like his energy and ball handling and unselfishness. 

Even the tv announcer can’t figure out why we are jacking up 3’s in transition with the numbers advantage 

I can’t wrap my head around how bad our defense is leaving open 3 pt shooters.

Sounds like extreme chaos in the locker room. Someones head should roll

You’re correct. Girls don’t leave if they’re happy and there is a winning culture. This isn’t about 3 girls who are all homesick. 

Best of luck to both girls. 

Starters leave teams all the time for different reasons other than playing time though.  I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened here. 

I would count on 1-2 players transferring too.  With most of the top returners having 2 or 3 years left of eligibility, may want a fresh start 

She did multiple visits to NU and I believe she could have been a Husker if she’d waited it out or wanted to come here bad enough. Her dads a Husker, she lives in Lincoln...it would be hard not to play here but SDSU is trending in the right direction.  NU is on shaky ground 

If you consider the state of the program when Williams took over (winning tradition from Yori, talented roster, new facilities: PBA/Hendricks, and the fan support & attendance) she is underperforming. This wasn’t a rebuild like Scott Frost has on his hands. 
 

I have not been impressed with Williams development of the players that she inherited from Yori; and her own recruits (while still young) don’t appear to be future Big 10 champs. Hope they prove me wrong. Her philosophy of playing 10-12 girls in a game is confusing and takes the girls out of rhythm and flow.  Williams teams don’t have the same toughness and grit or discipline as Yori’s teams either.  Williams and her staff are nice people, I’m just not impressed with their results. 

For the second year in a row Amy did not start all the seniors on Senior Night. Great group of young women though.

Our last dip shit AD set our Athletic department back 20 yrs.

Same guy who fired Yori. Look at us now 

Might be a good time to replay the B1G network special, you’ll get to see us win 4 games in Italy at least

This narrative that our players have sucked since Miles got here gets old.  Players have improved under Miles.  Maybe not as much as we all hoped.

How many players truly got better under Miles and his staff though? To me it’s hard to say, bc he had so few 4 year guys. Most of his players transferred out or in and stayed relatively the same. 

Shavon Shields is one name I could think of

Purdue was the hungrier team. We waited til the 4th Q to play like the season was on the line.  We got killed by many of the same things that plagued us all year tonight.

Mark Turgeon will be  next coach

Not happening. He is on contract thru 2022-2023, makes $2.7 mil/year plus he has one of the of the youngest teams in the country sitting at #4 in the B1G with nearly everyone back next year. No reason to leave MD
