Really happy for Coach Schaefer and the ladies! Well  deserved and resilient after losing Rori.

For sure. They literally lost their TJ Ford at PG ... and still are a No. 1. Vic also has freaky freshman in Booker, but just does matter because of how much changed in an instant at 12-0 ... and what they did to adapt and overcome.

Well deserved!

They could have mailed it in after Rori went down. Instead they got better (almost) every week.

I should’ve been giving the women’s team my attention with how inconsistent the men’s team has been.
