Holy shit, does LSU recruit girls straight out of juvey? They're all 6'8 with tattoos.

There just are not enough offensive options. If the opponent is continously collapsing on Davenport (which everyone is doing and is going to continue to do), there has to be someone who can hit an outside shot, ala Caity Matter. Hoskins is a very good penetrating, slashing guard, but is not a stellar shooter. Nobody seems to be able to hit a shot, be it a three-pointer, mid-range jumper, or shot from the paint.
It looks like the writer of that piece is correct. That doesn't explain the unnecessarily unpleasant tone to his piece, however.

It looks like they didn't appreciate my criticism. Cut the score down to 44-32.
If they can continue to play solid defense, rebound, eliminate the turnovers, and hit some shots, they could make this game interesting. That's not too much to ask, is it?

I agree with much of what others posted. That last ten minutes of the first half was impossible to come back from against a team like LSU.
If we had perimeter shots going in, it would have pulled the defense off of Davenport, who fought for her life the entire night. Those two threes from her said something about what it could have been like if others stepped up.
We also need to come up with better defensive solutions. We just didn't slow them down for most of the game.
We'll most probably drop to #10 or so, that was a drubbing, but we can still be in the final four this year.
Good teams come back from this kind of stuff. This is a good team.

That should be a good lesson learned. They've got a hell of a good head coach. He can teach from this game. They might see this team again, although I hope not because LSU is very, very, good.

Tough loss for the women. This will be a learning experience for them.

In all the attention to the Fiesta Bowl, I missed that the Lady Bucks basketball team had another tough loss...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Senior Ava Traore matched her career-high of 23 points to lead No. 18 Purdue to a 61-59 victory over No. 7 Ohio State on Sunday.
Ohio State's Ashley Allen had a chance at a game-winning 3-pointer as time expired, but her shot bounced off the rim, giving Purdue (10-2, 2-0 Big Ten) its sixth consecutive victory.
Purdue trailed 33-24 at halftime after missing eight consecutive shots from the field. Ohio State (9-2, 1-1) took its first lead as Marscilla Packer scored eight consecutive points in an 11-point run.
The Buckeyes State shot 50 percent (13-for-26) and limited Purdue to 37.5 percent (9-for-24) shooting from the field in the first half. Ohio State also shot 6-for-10 from 3-point range.
Purdue scored seven consecutive points to start the second half, including six by Traore. The Boilermakers had their biggest lead of the half, 54-48, with 7:52 remaining, but Ohio State countered with five straight points to get back into contention before missing the final shot.
Packer led Ohio State with a career-high 19 points, shooting 5-for-6 from behind the arc. Jessica Davenport, Ohio State's leading scorer with an 18.4 average, was limited to five field goal attempts and 10 points.
Erin Lawless scored 12 for Purdue, and Sharika Webb had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
