Like I said yesterday, she gets foul shy. Dawn knew this and went for it at the beginning of the game and got it.

It totally changed our game today her going out three minutes into the game.

South Carolina is our Kryptonite. It took the biggest crowd in school history and about of this world fourth quarter to beat them in Starkville. I had a bad feeling about playing them on a neutral court. But I never expected they’d kick our *** like this.

We were completely off from the start today. There's no way we miss that many layups in any other game this season.

McCowan left the arena when she got that second foul. She's totally out of it.

I would have left too. At that point it was very clear they were interested in a very tight game when the chickens had the ball. It completely took the entire team down a notch. Shooting never came in.

Agreed. We've been through several bad starts in various games this year, but this was the first time that the funk lasted for the entire game. In every game between two talented teams, there will be about ten possessions that dictate the outcome of the game, and this was just one where nine or maybe even all ten went SC's way.

We missed layups while SC ran down the court and hit jumpers, we forced steals only to turn the ball right back over on the other end with careless plays, and seemingly every time we desperately needed a big 3, ours clanked out while they drilled them. Just wasn't meant to be today

Perfect storm of bad events for us.

Early foul trouble for McCowan, didn’t shoot well, maybe some questionable early fouls, not being able to stop USC from scoring when we started making a comeback, etc. USC earned it, and while unfortunate for our girls, does nothing to stop us from the ultimate goal or take away from an awesome season.

Bad games happen. Hate to lose, but forget it and move on.

I think Wilson not starting was part of SC's strategy ... keep her out for the first few minutes trying to make us think she still had "vertigo" and wouldn't be able to play, then put her in for the rest of the game.
