I heard somebody on here recently say that 6 or 7 was all the depth a college basketball team needed.

Yeah I heard the same.

Thompson was on bench

Yes. Correct, sorry. It’s Travis who is missing.

Not playing very well today. It looks like they are just going through the motions.

Looks to me as if FIU is more athletic and better skilled. And their pre-season ranking was what, 14 out of 14? Either someone seriously missed the mark or our ladies are not as motivated. I pick the former.

Based on the games I've been too our ladies dont look motivated to me.

I’m not sure that’s correct.

You all can use lack of motivation if you want but damn, when your bench right now consists of 2 true freshmen, a redshirt freshmen, and one other, motivation is not the word I would use. Right now we have no depth.

I noticed the same thing the very first home game of the season.

Horrible coaching and or execution at the end of the game

Time for a second fire Jones thread....

So we didn’t get the wins this weekend. Because this is a weird year to begin with I’ll wait to judge the team next year. Praying we get back to winning next weekend

I agree. ODU has a very short bench — essentially 2 or 3 freshmen and one redshirt freshman — for the weekend series. Plus the team has a couple of players opting out and at least one out with Covid tracing issues. I’m hoping when Wayne returns the team will look and perform better. We also have no height. I’m willing to give Coach Milton-Jones the benefit of the doubt. For now.

At the first home game this season Travis was there but she was on crutches

Yes, Travis was on sidelines on crutches the firs couple of games, but was not present the past two games. Thus the question. Time passes, things change.

Just happend upon Miss. St going into OT against Kentucky. Both ranked. AHHHH what could have been.

And Miss St lost. It’s funny seeing some on Twitter calling for Nikki’s job already. All perspective for sure. I’d give anything to have her back!

Glad to see Wayne back in the lineup. Totally different team. But competition is less too.

Glad the ladies won their game against FAU.
Good game ladies!

0-2 weekend against Rice. Mulkey dominated both games with what seemed like very little to no adjustments made by coach. We needed Marie R. this series for sure.
