This was the worst day in Ladydawgs history since the mid 70s. Coach Abe has to realize that the only talent that is healthy is the Freshmen. She needs to play the Davis Twins as much as possible because this team will probably go winless in the SEC. Play the Freshmen for next year, that they will be better with next year's class. We just lost to an FCS team that was 1 and 4. It doesn't get any worse than that. I believe Savannah is lost for the year and she might be one of those players who will never be healthy. Mia Woolfolk has a foot injury that might keep her out this year. Nyah Leveretter is warming up and not playing. I don't understand that, unless she is worse than Evans and Diakhate. This season is already a disaster, now I am waiting for the spring to see who will be in the transfer portal, because we need a lot of help.

Hampton had better guards than us and their inside players were just as good as ours. Coach Abe has been having to recruit with zero NIL funds.

Even without 0 NIL Funds, there are some good players out there who would love to play in the SEC. You have to advertise and recruit everyone. When you look at this team, you have 3 point guards on the floor in which 2 are undersized for the SEC. I hope Coach Abe is not trying to redshirt Indya Davis because she should be playing. This season should be all about getting the Freshmen ready for next year. With the Signees we have coming in next year, Evans and Diakhate will be headed back to the bench. Coach Abe needs the guards coming back next year to be experienced for next year. She is going to lose this year no matter what. If you are inexperienced next year and you lose, Coach Abe might be fired. Better to sacrifice this year and turn it around next year.

Agree. I told my wife today very early in the game that she should be playing both twins. She did start Summer today.

Brutal loss- even with our injuries we are the more talented team with 4 star players. This was one of the worse losses I can remember- ESPN had us as 99% favorite to win. Why isn't coach abe more transparent about the injures- we know Savannah is out but Mia and Nyah?? Other coaches go public when players are out for the season, if there are disciplinary reasons or when they are expected to return. I don't get the secrecy especially when you are 5-4. I was still positive before the Hampton game but now.....

I had to take a little time away after that loss. It seems like our team is gassing out late in the games, which to me means that the player rotation has to change.

I agree with everybody that we need more of both of the Davis twins (and Verse, to be honest). I don't like Avinger and Flournoy on the floor together because of their height on defense. I say start the four healthy freshman and Diakhate. Let them work through their mistakes.

If we get back another post, put Makolo at the 3 to help with the guard rotations. I would like to say the rest of our non conference games are winnable, but I have no clue with this team.
