***WBB: (11) Iowa State vs. (6) Michigan (Fri., 10:30 a.m. CT)***

Well good effort by the gals. Disappointing season overall IMO. I thought Michigan was just quite a bit faster than us overall.
Hope the sophomores all stay and we can bring in a good guard and maybe another big. Well see how the off season goes and watch again next yr.

I'm going to miss watching Em play.

I know everyone is disappointed with the season, but there are plenty of things to build on.

 

[NWICY]

Bingo, I thought that would happen last off-season and if anything it was the same or worse this season.

I thought her endurance had improved this yr but I could be wrong.

Yep, don't think it was particularly close in that area.

"Well good effort by the gals. Disappointing season overall IMO. I thought Michigan was just quite a bit faster than us overall"

This is the main difference I think. Every team, even some of the mid major teams look more athletic or at the very least, more conditioned than us. Strength and conditioning needs to be the main focus for everyone on the roster in the off season.

You’re not wrong. It was a better year.

Sad that girls had so many turnovers. They were in it but not enough scorers. Girls afraid to shoot or really not that good. Passing was inept as well. CBF will need to release some girls as they are not Power 5 level. Love the Sisters but upgrades needed. 3defense was nonexistent.

 

[CloneZone13]

another disappointing end to an underachieving game/season. I sincerely hope the staff can learn or bring in someone that can design an offense to better utilize our talent. Thank you, Emily, we were blessed to have you! Thank you, Ladies, for your effort this year!

Agree.

I have hope, KSU two season ago where 5-13 in conference with many of the players they had this year. If we can keep our sophomores together big chance for a great season.

Hard fought game. I'm proud of this team. A loss in the tourney always stings but it was great effort. I was really hoping Emily would hit the 1,000-assist mark. Looks like she will be 7th on the all-time list. Praying the portal doesn't take too much from us. This will still be a fun team to watch next year. I also just realized that we have never won 2 tournament games is a season outside of Hilton Coliseum.

Last season, beat Maryland before losing to #2 Stanford on OT on their court.

I keep thinking Stanford was first round for some reason.

 

[Dannynoonan]

I’m traveling and can’t watch the game. Why did Addy only have 5 shots? Tough to win with that.

 

[rosshm16]

our S&C needs to completely revamp what she's doing or not doing...because if she were to lose even 20-30 pounds, her game would be so much better

Beyond just Audi, our team this year seemed really slow and unathletic compared to many opponents. I don't know how much of that is S&C but it's definitely a part.

 

[Dannynoonan]

I wonder what it would cost to get Freese here to coach?

 

[Acylum]

I’ve been excoriated for saying this during the season.

 

[rosshm16]

She makes more than double Bill's salary.

 

[NWICY]

I wonder what it would cost to get Freese here to coach?

Brenda ( ?) More than we can afford to pay. I'd rather take a flyer on Ezell she's doing fairly well out at Wyoming (?)

 

[BryceC]

Honestly this was a fun game. Sometimes you get a player on a heater. You tip your cap and move on.

You sure about that?

 

[DGC]

You sure about that?

From what I can see we hosted the first two rounds on our Sweet 16 / Elite 8 runs. Maybe i'm wrong?
