    GT & ACC WBB 2021-2022

    Funny how they fail to mention she played in three games this season before quitting the team after being benched in the second half of that game.....lots of talk about last season. I guess that part didn't fit the narrative. Didn't work out too well for Bolagun and Dixon when they left for...

    GT & ACC WBB 2021-2022

    Wake has played absolutely nobody so far this season. They have played exactly one Power 5 school (Nebraska) and got blown out by 26. Their Strength of Schedule ranks 286. Agree about Spear. She averages about 20 per game while the next four score between 7.2 and 8.8.

    Jose

    My bad on the Hewitt call. But I thought Jose got moved to the G League squad a while back when the NBA squads had to reduce their benches. I guess I got confused because in the ESPN boxscores they consistently gave him "DNP" for all those games. I would think if he was on the parent club's...

    Amazing range. Anyone know what her shooting % is for the season? Hope she shoots free throws just as well!

    Terrible news. My heart goes out to Tasha, her family and the entire team. To be only 39 years old and to face such a horrible disease and to find out it is in an advanced stage is hard to comprehend. My prayers go out to Tasha and all that know her. My mother is a breast cancer survivor so...

    Jose

    Occasionally I peruse the G League scores to see how Jose, Moses and James Banks are doing. Up until a couple days ago I had yet to see Jose even get in a game. He finally got to play 34 minutes the other night and ended up with 19 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. Does anyone know why...

    Congrats to all of the ladies. The awards are well deserved. But Bertolino got robbed for ACC Freshman of the year. Sure Shaffmaster of UNC had more kills but she didn't have two other front line attackers taking away her chances. Bianca's attack percentage was much higher (.261 compared to...

    2022 Baseball Schedule [build]

    True but those midweek opponents will hopefully be pitching their midweek guys since they most likely have conference weekend series to worry about themselves. I would hope our midweek staff, at that point of the season, is better than what they can throw at us. If not, then we have bigger...

    If you look carefully at the brackets it looks like they have a distinct geographical bias outside of the top seeding. Note that most of the west coast teams match up against each other. I don't think it is by accident that Tech hosts two teams from South Carolina and one from Kentucky. We are...

    Anyone know who was left off the roster? Is 43 the final number or will more cuts be coming?

    GT & ACC WBB 2021-2022

    I have been watching them on the ESPN app for the past year or so. All of a sudden I try to tune in to the app and I get an error message that says "User not Authenticated". I have the ACCN on YouTubeTV so the TV provider is not the issue. I realize last night was an ESPN+ broadcast but this has...

    What kills me is teams like Penn State with 7 losses at #15 and Stanford with a 13-9 record at #16. Say what you want about having tough schedules but if you don't win then you shouldn't be ranked that high. And I'm not sure if the PAC 10 (or whatever number it is now) is even as good as the ACC...

    Can anyone who attended the practice game against Troy today provide some details on what they thought? I saw the box score but I would be particularly interested in any feedback on the new additions to the roster and if any of the pitchers stood out. I noticed Maxwell got all six outs via K's...

    Do we necessarily lose Lahtinen? Isn't this her 4th year on the team? Couldn't she classify as a junior this year if she takes the extra covid year? Or was that just available to seniors last year?

    I totally agree with everything you said except for the part about the schedule. While it may not be a "super tough" schedule it is still a challenging schedule. We have played a schedule comprised of all Power 5 teams except for three matches. Those opponents have a combined record of 86-62 I...

    So Penn State, who we beat handily, climbs from #20 to #16 after beating an overrated Ohio State team while we remain at #18. Stanford is #17 with only a 6-4 record. Florida remains in the rankings after losing yet another match and is now 7-5. This stinks very much like how the SEC is treated...

    Volleyball is much like football where the traditional powers don't get penalized for losses near as much as the upstart programs. I will say Florida has a very strong schedule, playing several ranked teams. But at some point you have to win and not just get credit for playing tough teams. Also...

    I will happily discuss with you as this team is so much fun to watch. Kaiser is now getting a fair amount of playing time as she immediately subs in as our 2nd server then splits time at middle blocker with Morrisette and now Moss who was hurt earlier in the year but is now back healthy. Dowd...

    I agree not everyone needs to have power. Having someone with his kind of speed pays big dividends for whomever hits behind him......he will see a lot more fastballs plus the pitcher is a lot more distracted! Would love to see him as a centerfielder with his kind of speed but a second baseman...
