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

Not that it matters but Kentucky wasn't overrated this year (although they usually are). I watched them beat Tennessee and UNC by 30 points apiece and manhandle KU in Allen Fieldhouse. Very different from past Calipari teams. They were old, physical and out-toughed those three teams mentioned. Tshiebwe is an old school enforcer. They played poorly against Saint Peter's. Otherwise I agree with you. 

Sure hope we don’t lose too many guys or we might fall from 13th in the big ten to 14th in the big ten.

I have come to the conclusion that this is something bigger than just a BB problem.  With all the dynamics of the transfer portal, revenue money for players while they are in school, etc., just feels like this is working against us.  People snickered when Rutgers was added to the Big Ten.  But when it comes to men's sports, Nebraska is the new Rutgers.  It's a different story with women's sports.  Anyone here feel the same way?  What can possibly be the answer to dig us out of this mess.

The crazy thing was, those were two of the biggest hires we could have made.  No one... and I mean no one... saw the kind of flops coming from BOTH of these hires.

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 😁

Home cookin 

I need to go throw up like goggles did 

No way Teddy Valentine was going to let the wolf pack lose on Jimmy v night

I need to go throw up like goggles did 

Please win this damn game 

That was a jump-ball. Wilhelm shouldn’t have been called for foul #5. Ridiculous officiating tonight

Missed ft’s Might kill us.  Leave it to Teddy V to insert himself into the game

Start:
Verge
Kobe
Bryce
Wilcher
Walker
 
Sub in:
Lat
Keisi/Keon (sparingly if at all)
Wilhelm/Andre (sparingly)
 
That should just be the rotation until Trey comes back. Do what Nova does and just run their starting 5 a crap ton with one prominent sub and try to even avoid sprinkling in other subs. I think that’s our best chance to win with those 5 that run the defense best.

How bad must Southern and Idaho State be?

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. 

Meh-- One starter transfers... ok I can see that at schools.  Two starters transfer... sure that may happen for some schools.  But three likely starters transfering after losing multiple to graduation and one being your literal best player doesn't scream "this happens everywhere" to me.  Sorry, I just don't buy that THIS happens everywhere.  Starters-- sure, lots of transfers-- sure.  But our situation-- no.

I understand that the number of transfers is increasing in women's basketball. However, how many of those listed from other schools are starters or leading scorers on their team. We are not losing players looking for more playing time. I will not be surprised to see more players jump ship. 

I agree with points made by Karl.  It's unlikely that any players of much ability will transfer in and quite conceivable that more will leave.  Any of those named above have a chance to play out their careers on a winning team - or at least with teammates who play with energy and enthusiasm. Something went terribly wrong with chemistry between/among players and coaching staff this year. The prospect of next season looking like anything other than a dismal wasteland just cannot be escaping the attention of the four players named above. I am so sorry to say it, but I think this is the end of the Williams experiment. It can either end now with a new staff approaching the remaining players and searching the transfer portal with a sense of optimism and enthusiasm or end later after a season filled with embarrassing losses. 
 

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.

Don't have any special incite of course, but don't really think they all got home sick... all of a sudden. When three of your better players leave.....Just about has to be other issues. You could feel the fragileness sometimes last season. 
The season going sour again, may have worsened frustration issues, and some second thoughts about what I'm doing here?
 
And. feel particularly bad for the rest of their teammates.
 

Best of luck to both girls. 

Maybe I can't read but where we ? This is my biggest concern with the current staff
