I use Hulu and FS1 there lists another game at noon. Is our game really there? maybe this was something scheduled before and we replaced it?

Well,....At least we get to see the game done professionally today. No BTN+ streaming issues and student productions.

Much better so far, better passing and movement. Also, Eatman is very animated, and into game, as is the bench.

Sidibe has no business being in the game. Again, Tim's changes or lack their of are puzzling.

is it all on not having talented players, or not having a HC that can utilize the talent on the team.
I won't claim this squad is a talented bunch, but think they have the type of talent a good HC could make a winning program out of .
Honestly, this year is just a waste of everyone's time. We lose 8 players end of year. Start all new next year from top to bottom, period.

Such a waste of good talent. A good offensive system that can put players in positions to score is what we lack. Have lacked historically during the CVS era. Our ladies coached the right way can play with this Mich team and every other team we've played this season. Would we win them all, probably not, but we would be MUCH better off than we are now. Seriously, probably three losses at this point, four at most.

Agree, new HC and staff , not return of CVS from her LOA, but hire new blood and move Stringer into administration , retiring from her coaching duties.

Sorry to disagree, but, we are not a good match for this team. Between Kim Barnes-Arrico being the great coach she is to their players being uber talented. Naz Hillman is one of the best players in the country, and is WNBA level talent. We will be lucky to win more than a couple of B1G games.

I know they want to keep Osh on the floor, but that is a tall ask for her to stay with Hilmon or Kiser. Why not use Chyna and Sakima?

you're talking of a defensive oriented team that lacked the offense to be great.
Now the O is still a problem, but now the D isn't good enough to compete with the better programs.
Face it, this will be a lost year.

How far this team has fallen from once being a crown jewel. Would C Viv entertain a succession plan to Chelsea Newton?

The problem this game has been that we cannot keep pace with a prolific offensive team. I think I heard them say we have one of the top defenses in the conference as far as point given up per game. Offense is our problem. Consistency. We have too many droughts that include bad turnovers where we don't get shots. They have struggled today to find their way offensively. It's desperation one on one by Shug and now putting it in Lasha hands to operate.

Coaching on the defensive side is not at it's best. We can't even run the 55 with all this depth to use for it.

Is Tim watching the same game? Why is he subjecting Osh to this when he has a 6'4" and a 6'3" that are more suited for today''s opponent???

I've been touting Chelsea for head coach for a long time. I sure hope it happens(HOBBS listen up). She has done real well @ Georgia, and they are ranked again now. She follows Rutgers actively.

Offense has always been the weak link under CVS. I’m not saying we didn’t have some teams that could score but defense was stressed at the expense of offense. When the women’s game changed and more athletic offensive minded players started becoming the norm - CVS philosophy did not change.

Ladies are battling but they are overmatched and they deserve better coaching.

I can't take too many more of these Tim coached games. At this rate, I won't make it through the season. And that will be a first, that I stop watching completely.

What the heck? His subs are insane!!! I honestly think Sakima is our best post player at this time. Tim saves her for the last few seconds of the first half and now the last 4 minutes of a 30 pt blowout. What the heck?!!!

He needs to keep all of his best in this game until the final buzzer. Doesn't he realize that a 30 point loss is significantly bad? They still have their starters in. He should have Shug in the game along with Tyia or Chyna in place of Joyia and Awa.
