Way to go ladies!! Rory gets MVP but Justice Carlton should get honorable mention. If it wasn't for her hustle and physicality, we wouldn't have gotten as many offensive rebounds and Edwards would have gone off on us. She impressed me the most this tournament since I didn't think she was anything special after last year. I wish Jordan Lee knew she was a dawg. When she realizes it, look out. They should have been setting her up the last 2 possession instead of Booker given the defense. Imagine how much better we'd do with Crump, Preston, and Judd giving Booker, Harmon, and Lee a breather. Going to be another special year for the girls.

That first half was beautiful and efficient. The fatigue set in once the 2nd half started though. You could tell Booker and Lee didn't have the legs but Harmon carried hard. That might have been Rory's best game I've seen in 3 years. She looked like the old Rory on offense tonight hitting her midrange shots. Not sure we can outlast South Carolina without Crump and Preston but the team looks tournament ready already. Should at least put up a good fight.

This sounds like a another development project which we have a lot of already. Hope we see him contribute in a couple years.

I thought this thread was about Arch. LOL The mental and physical toughness he's shown enduring the terrible OL play early season and digging himself out of the confidence funk he was in shows what kind of warrior he is for us. We know when things don't look good down the road, #16 is going to keep the wheels on the wagon.

Crittendon is basically Aaliyah Crump (super skilled offensively and physically strong) but 2 inches taller. Bjorn looks like a good outside shooter but it'll be good to see if she can translate physically to the P4 college game. This class is looking solid for Vic. The future is bright.

She bumped knees with one of our players. Hopefully it's just a bruise and no structural damage.

Oldacre with a knee injury is concerning going into the UCLA game. We were ready to wreck them healthy so I hope she can get back to 100% this week. A Betts vs Oldacre matchup would be awesome to watch. One last thing, I think Jordan Lee is going to be a special player for us the remaining 3 years she's here. Her offensive and defensive development this offseason has been next level. She's our best and cleanest defender and our best 3 pt shooter that can get nice mid range shots off the dribble too. She is NOT a role player and I hope Vic is putting her on a path to lead our team the next couple years once Maddie and Rory are gone. She keeps developing year after year and gets a little stronger, with some playmaking, she could be an Azzi Fudd type for us.

Wasn't there a report today that he took a call from the NY Giants owner? It was just to touch base apparently. First off, are these reports true and are these the type of things people are extrapolating on as him close to leaving?

Sark once again is out of touch with game planning, in game decisions, and recognizing the strength of his team when it comes to the running game. One mistake (penalty, turnover, etc) and he gives up on the running game. It took him a while to commit to running most the season when we had bijan and roschon. The rushing game is just a throw in once the passing game is effective or when his back is against the wall. When he has choices, it will always favor the passing game. This cost us the Washington game 2 years ago. It hurt us in the Ohio State games and multiple games this year. Sark is predictable in this way at this point. Coaches know this. It's not a coincidence that Georgia and most teams just play 3 back now to force Sark to do things he doesn't want to. Georgia didn't do anything fancy on defense. They just keep testing Sark's patience and he kept trying to press from a passing standpoint. Look at the Georgia RB's the last 3 years and look at ours. They are physical runners and no necessarily with elite speed. We gave up on Gibson too early and put too many eggs in the Baxter basket. We need to fully commit and recruit more dawgs on RB/OL and less speed.

He should. But if he's misrepresenting things ofc. Our defense (which he's mostly talking about defensive players recruiting wise) is plenty physical. If he's going to tell me Colin Simmons and Ant Hill are not out there smashing people, he's lying. Lance Jackson and Justus Terry (Or Atkinson and Johnson) will get plenty of run and bring plenty of physicality next year.

We got out physical-ed no question in the first game in Austin, but last night was less physicality in my mind than it was personnel, discipline, and focus. Georgia just has bigger and better players on the line right now. That's not our players not wanting to get in there and fight but it's just they are bigger and stronger than our OL and tack on the fact we hold on to jerseys too long, it exacerbates the situation. Our defensive line and LBs did fine against the run until they wore out in the 2nd half. The narrative would be so much different if Auburn would have just made the FG in the SEC championship. People are forgetting we didn't get outplayed in that game even though it was ugly, We should have won that game in regulation.

Hope he pulls through. 🙏

Both are very good shooters. Love to see Vic continue to recruit tough skilled shooters.

If that's the case, then I don't agree with the sentiments to get the running game going this week. We should push the throttle down even further with tempo and short passes to start and attacking down the field later. I'm confident we'll score points, it's the other side of the ball that worries me in that game. Gunnar Stockton hasn't been sacked much this year and our secondary is very shaky right now with Taffe and McDonald banged up. We can't count on Guillbeau and Littleton to shutdown their assignments all game. Wouldn't be surprised if it takes 32+ pts to win this game.

The girls looks good. We got shooters everywhere with Lee, Crump, Booker, and Preston. I would like to see Rory shoot more though. She didn't look for her shot the entire game.
