Coach Pingeton is on the last year of her contract. She has zero 2025 verbals (likely caused in part by her contract situation). This is likely it for her at Missouri.
An AD change saved her this year (24-25). She probably would have been gone if the previous AD had stuck around.

SC only beat Michigan by 6. Not sure if that means Michigan got better from last year, but definitely makes me think we can give them a battle in a few weeks.

They play #9 NC State on Sunday at 2:00. "Neutral" court in Charlotte, NC. On ESPN if you want to take a peek at them and not going to our game. I 'll maybe be doing a duel watch with one on my laptop and another on da big screen.

Iowa is in the 2nd game from Charlotte vs Virginia Tech on ESPN2 at 4:30. Good chance to "scout" the new Clark-less Hawk squad versus a high quality opponent (VT had 25 wins last year). I am quit curious to see their new post and maybe get some sort of take on how she might match up with Ms. Crooks.

Right there with you. I’ve been saying all along that Iowa is going to be tough when we face them…and will get tougher as the year progresses. Likely a Sweet Sixteen team by years end.

Virginia Tech is picked 12th in the ACC this year. They brought back three players from last year's team who, between the three of them, averaged less than 10 ppg. The rest are freshmen or transfers who came in with the new coach. High quality opponent might be a bit of a stretch for VT this year.

Iowa's game at Drake will be a better test IMHO than this game.

I watched TCU play Houston Baptist last night and I fear people might be sleeping on the Frogs. They looked good, real good, and nobody has more experience than they do. Unlike past years, they appear to have quality depth, everywhere except possibly the post. If S. Prince can stay healthy, they're going to be in the thick of the conference title race. I really like the sophomore PG transfer from Oregon State - she's tall and a strong on-the-ball defender. Maddie Scheer didn't even play - possibly injured?

I also watched some of Montana at Gonzaga - I wonder if Yvonne Ejim even considered ISU? Izzy Zingaro didn't start for the Lady Griz but played relatively well - nine points on perfect shooting in around 20 minutes. Macy Donarski was 4-4 from the foul line.

Auburn should really be ashamed for even scheduling this and counting it as a normal game instead of an exhibition. From the game preview on Auburn's website:

›› Virginia University of Lynchburg is a private HBCU with an enrollment of approximately 750 students. Their athletic teams compete in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA).
›› Little is known about this VUL team. The school did not field a women’s basketball team in 2023-24, and all of its players are new to the school this year.

Watched Iowa versus VT since it was on ESPN. Iowa bricked threes all game long as did VT but otherwise looked pretty good. Olsen did Olsen stuff. O'Grady looks to have beaten out the freshman post. She was 9-9 from the field.

I really don't want Iowa sports on my feed, what was the final?

Karl Smesko, who has been a huge success at FGCU and likely turned down many opportunities to leave, finally found one he wanted: Atlanta Dream head coach.



Wonder what his salary will be? Some WNBA coaches make $1M while the league caps the team players budget at $1.4M for 12 players.

Georgia State beats Georgia


Utah with a horrible loss to a bad Northwestern team that has only won 9 games in each of the past two years


Arizona State being deadweight
