Honestly, I enjoyed watching them. Very intense competition from some fairly evenly matched teams,
That article is kind of misleading. If it was toxic like they said then why did the players shut down like at Tennessee, and why did they not bolt out in the transfer portal the last three years. K. Johnson would have surely left. I think it is something else and they are using that as the reason. It is not adding up in my book.
Championship game getting ready to start. I bet Geno is pulling hard for UCLA.
Might be good to see a non-SC, non-UConn champ.

UCLA up 19 in the 3rd. SC still with only 25 points. This one is all but over. Betts controlling the middle on defense.
uman1 it ain't over until it is over. Remember our men and Duke men had a 19 point led and they both loss. Anything is possible in the NCAAT.
Lead up to 29 points now. Thorough domination in all phases. For reference UNC was down only 35-34 at the half vs UCLA early in the season.
Love seeing the Gamecocks get smacked on the big stage.
This championship game is a bloodbath. Not surprising though as UCLA matches them in size and athleticism. With 3 minutes left SCar has made only one 3-pointer to UCLA's 8.
CONGRATS to the UCLA Bruins! Well deserved!
23UNC you have a very good point; however, at least they have made it to the final game back to back. It is very hard to do that with NIL, the portal, etc. Also, they did have CK all year. Congrats to UCLA. They went out there and took it to them.

Yay for UVA for breaking into the final coach's T 25 poll. Glad they were recognized for their NCAA tourney achievement!
Just kidding, not a bad hire.
Unfortunately he cannot bring Maggie Doogan with him in the portal. Arguably the best player for the Spiders in their history, she just exhausted her eligibility. The other two all-conference players at Richmond also graduated. So he picked a great time to move on, but he has nothing notable to bring with him it appears.
That was a quick hire. I just think it is kind of shocking that VA would fire their coach and say it was toxic with the Admin, etc. as means to get rid of her. We know the relationship with the players was not toxic as the report stated it was with the brass and admin. I still think is more than that. IMO I think the powers that be just wanted to get rid of her.
WNBA draft. I believe 6 of the first 18 selected were UCLA Bruins.
This is pretty interesting. NCSU's Khamil Pierre never entered the portal last year? Instead she gained admittance to NCSU as a regular student. She then was able to talk to NCSU coaches, basically as a walk-on, and then was able to negotiate her NIL compensation. It sounds like she did this at multiple schoools to consider other offers.
Now that will get a coach suspended and teh program fined as an NCAA violation. Wild.

Thanks for sharing. Wow, I did not know they were doing this. We shall see if anything happens to them. If nothing happens then this is just another case were the NCAA just slap them on the write; however, we all remember what happened to us back in Torbush was our HC in football. How the NCAA penalize us not only in football but it carried over into the men's soccer program and our women's basketball program. These programs were hit hard and they tried their best to get our men's basketball program and it took years for them to finally back off.
Trouble brewing in Palo Alto:

‘Not the same program anymore’: Stanford women’s hoops in freefall after player exodus
Player transfers, claims of an abusive culture, and no NCAA Tournament berths for two years add up to a diminished program in Palo Alto.

The article also stated that Clardy was one of Stanford's star players which should mean something to UNC because she transferred to us. This is why I stated she will be a vital piece for us. That article has a lot to take in. It also tells us readers that the pressure to win is tremendous for today's HCs. I am just glad and proud to have the coaching staff that we have. Go Heels!
Stanford was not very good last season so their star players may not be as meaningful as in years past. with that said, Clardy has great potential, a Nivar type player with many tools in the toolbox.

Stanford might not have been very good as a team, but they did have a few players that were really good. CC being one of them. Also, they did beat us at our place. So to say they was not very good is questionable since that beat us. Beating us at our place does count for something. To do that, they have had to have some very good players.
Yeah, but they beat us. So, if that are not very good, but they but us at our place, what does that say about us? Also, there are two sides two every story. We have not heard the coaches side nor the Admin side from Stanford yet. People are basing their opinions only hearing some of the parents and student who felt they were being bullied, etc. Also, these generation of players in all sports are not mentally tough. They are used to getting their way and babied all of the time. Just look at this generation of kids coming up across the US. If a parent spanks their kid, society is so quick to say that the parent is wrong for doing that. I got spanked a few times coming up and I am not out here in society doing crazy things. Spankings and using some harsh language is good as long as the person doing it does not go overboard with it IMO.
