Lady Bucs
Team just seems hopeless right now. I wonder if they are going to get a single win in the Southern this year. UNC Asheville looks terrible and they are doubling up the Lady Bucs right now. I haven't seen a poorer effort from just about any college team this year. No blocking out, no plays being run, no ability to handle the ball, and it appears no leadership. The offense appears to be take the other team 1 on 5 and hope for the best.

Finally woke up in the 3rd quarter and scored 23 points - 9 points more than the whole first half.

RE: Lady Bucs
They've really had a rough year thus far. It's doesn't look like there were any guarantee games on the schedule, but I wasn't expecting 1-11 at this point. Was Tiana the entire team last year?? I saw some really good performances last year by this year's returnees, so I was not expecting this big a drop in win-loss.
The write-up on the etsubucs website said that 5 players were "unavailable" but didn't say who or why. My guess is that the problem was an away game in the teeth of finals week, so they may have been going to gun fight with a knife, so to speak.
I'm planning on going to tomorrow night's game to see for myself (another finals week game - WTH??). I hope they can start clicking before conference games get started.

RE: Lady Bucs
I've watched most of the games on TV, but haven't been able to get to a home game yet and will have to miss Thursday's game also. Frankly, it seems like the team just isn't very good shooting the basketball and always has spurts that show that we are a decent team but then also has a drought that puts us in a hole that isn't recoverable. Last night we were down 19-6 after the first quarter. Against Liberty, who only had 1 win on the year coming into the game against ETSU, we were fine in the first quarter but then went cold in the second and we were playing from double digits down most of the remainder of the game until going on a hot streak late to make the final score competitive.
I was expecting this year to be a balanced team which would compete for the SoCon championship. The good news is that this goal is still achievable. Further, the way the talent pool of women's basketball is set up, the winner of the SoCon is going to get destroyed in the NCAA tournament no matter what seed they are so literally the only thing that matters is the conference schedule and the conference tournament. The bad news is that conference schedule is coming up and we don't look anywhere near a competitive team right now.
