Not too shabby for a first time head coach with only two returning players. Quite a baptism of fire in season 1.

We could make a nice run next year if our bigs develop in the offseason. Already looking forward to basketball next year.

I'm still frustrated over last night. Stetson lost, as we expected, so a win could've potentially given us the 2 seed. Now we are likely playing FGCU in the semifinals (if we beat UNF) instead of potentially in the championship game. With our string of losses lately, I feel like we need to make the championship game to have a shot at the WNIT. Maybe I'm wrong.
The only question would be whether the teams will be reseeded after the quarterfinals. If so, maybe someone can pull an upset to get us out of the bracket with FGCU. But I'm not sure we can depend on NJIT/KSU/JU to do that.
A 19-7 regular season is nothing to be ashamed of, but it just feels like the potential was there for another two or three wins.

Other than FGCU, I don't think any higher seed is safe in the quarterfinals. The reseeding could be interesting.

We are playing worse than the lower seeds. We need to lose the attitude and play basketball. You are not going to get every call on the road. Play with a maturity and realize that you are a representation of the university. I guess we are readshirting a couple of the girls that look talented, but have not seen much in way of playing time. One player had a third time of our points last night. We need to play better as a team. Forcing shots that aren’t even close, makes for a long night and a whopping. I hope the loss gets our girls fired up to compete?

I admit to being a youngster, but is tonight the "biggest" game in our women's basketball history? At least the biggest home game?
I hope there's a large crowd. I really wish I could be there. Sure would be nice if the rain would stop for a while. I worry it will cause some on the fence about going to stay at home.

Would be nice to have a pep band there to improve the atmosphere for such a big game.

Nice. Maybe that will be in year two of the transition? JSU has about a 30 year head start on the D1 thing. Hopefully get up to speed quickly on several things. Hopefully the giving has been good?

Think we still have room for the band and the roar....maybe one day we will fill up Flowers. Really wish the postseason ban was two years instead of four? Terrible rule....really holds back recruiting and fan enthusiasm.

UNA shoots too many threes. Score inside and then shoot the three later. Use Panetti, she is by far our best chance to score and win.

If we do not play under control soon this I going to get ugly. Quit shooting wild threes! We haven’t got close other than the one Darby made out of the last 7 attempts, ugly basketball on offense. Nice seeing all the students there.
