Zips WBB 25-26

I really think last years team got an unfair shake with injuries they were always competitive the first 2/3s of the game then would just run out of gas. Really hope this can be a breakout year and they can make the mac tourney.

Women down 45-19 at the half to a South Alabama team that was 6-24 last year. 😳

44 point 2nd half? That bodes well.

It was certainly encouraging after a rough first half.  On the other hand, South Alabama was predicted to be the 14th of 14 teams in the Sun Belt preseason poll.

Tough night for the women's team...

Those 16 steals are an all-time NCAA D-1 record. I watched the game for a bit at the start of the second half and they were getting destroyed. Saw one Zips basket and Notre Dame running all over them. Now they are a top 15 team, so I have no idea how the Zips stayed as close as they did.

Not sure what my expectations should have been coming into the third year of this regime but it’s very apparent we are a not making progress. Not sure what to attribute it to but hopefully with all the new players some cohesiveness and improvement will be seen throughout the season.

Yesterday against Michigan she had 12 pts on 4-21 shooting and 7 turnovers in a 93-54 loss. Obviously a much higher quality opponent, but a really bad day for a really good player.

What a nice post in lieu of the CSU game. I watched that game and saw nothing but disgusting basketball. The mistakes were constant and never corrected. CSU did not press or play 94' of basketball and yet we had 20 turnovers by the middle of 3Q. Last year it was all the injuries. In year three we were supposed to be turning it around with culture, talent, recruiting, schemes, etc. Everyone I know on campus who knows coach Gensler says he is a great guy with a superior basketball mind. They believe in him. But I look at the results and scratch my head. How can we be so bad in year three? I hope he is a miracle worker.
