Down 13 at the break. Hawks down to 8 players. Best would have helped today.

We are getting killed on the glass. They are executing better, shooting better and defending better.

So they are literally laying a whooping on us in EVERY facet of the game.

Just to be clear.

Yes sir. We didn’t share it and it showed today against a good team.

The only bright spots were Micha Hoggatt and Jayde Gamble coming off the bench with energy.

Just a few tweaks on offense, we'll be good

The obligatory update: we gave up 27 in the first quarter folks. And, now gave 16 TO.

Cougars are full court pressing and this is literally forcing the Lady Hawks to pass . Regardless of score, I think that this is eye opening and now playing a little better.

How long are we realistically going to keep Barefoot? The only good season she's had at UNCW was in the 18-19 season (See Below). I've always felt that our women's team was the joke of the conference, always at the bottom. I don't know if it's the players or the coaching scheme itself, I would just like to see us get actually invested in our women's program like we do our men's. We have her under contract through the 22-23 season.

Barefoot since she overtook the Lady Seahawks:
17-18: 12-19 (4-14 conference) - CAA Quarterfinals
18-19: 18-12 (11-7 conference) - CAA Quarterfinals
19-20: 10-20 (6-12 conference) - CAA Quarterfinals
20-21: 7-14 (3-10 conference) - CAA Quarterfinals
21-22 (as of 1/30/22): 3-13 (0-6 conference)

UNCW record: 50-68

In a stark contrast to the Men's team, the Women's team continues their struggles. They fell @ Hofstra tonight, 56-40, to fall to 0-7 in league play and 2-14 against D-I teams on the season.

The Pride raced out to a 29-13 halftime lead and never looked back, despite committing 21 turnovers on the night. UNCW shot just 24.6 % (15-61) from the field, including 20 % (4-20) from 3.

And no, Hofstra is not a strong opponent. The Pride picked up their first CAA win and are now 1-7. They also snapped a 10-game losing streak in the process. Two days ago, Hofstra lost to Towson by 41 points.

Once the contract is up there is no reason to keep the coach. How much worse could we possibly be? Based on the success of a pressing defense that looks to get deflections and TO's from our past two men's teams that have been successful, you'd think the women's coaches might consider brainstorming with the men's coaches and implement their concepts, right?

It certainly couldn't hurt to try. We have a couple players who would be pests on defense in Allie Best and Jayde Gamble, so we could certainly generate some steals.

I doubt it would work very well, however, given our lack of depth at guard. Our team is built to operate as more of a "traditional" two-guard lineup, and we don't have any bigs capable of running the floor. Micah Hoggatt and Dejah Carter are big 5's who likely wouldn't be able to keep up.

It would only really work with a small ball lineup of Gamble, Best, Sierra DeCosta, Evan Miller and I suppose Carrie Gross at the 5.

If a school like UNCW hired a coach for the women's team implementing a Keatts/Siddle defensive system they'd compete for titles in the CAA. And just like the men's team, it's a lot easier to recruit quicker guards at the midmajor level.

Agreed. One way or the other our entire philosophy for the WBB team needs to shift. Despite having a "bigger team", in general, we were outrebounded tonight 44-32. So there's no real benefit to our current style.

Whether the current coaching staff implements the change or the next one it has to be a radical shift.

Perhaps a debate for a different thread, but i really think Keatts and Siddle play two completely different styles.

I think this would take us back to the difference between a system, and a strategy. I think their systems are pretty much the same, but they are strategically different in that system. But you're right, it would be a good discussion. Maybe once you can start up?

Whatever happend to Cynthia Cooper-Dyke?

She did a great job while she was here but then left to go back to the school we hired her from?

It was rather odd

No, she came to us from Prairie View A&M, then left us to go to Texas Southern. She then coached at USC from 2013-17 before ending up back at Texas Southern.

I guess her experience playing with the Houston Comets all those years kept her coming back to Texas.

Lady Hawks have actually played decent today. Cut 22 point road deficit to 11 headed to the 4 quarter.

All Women's sports except soccer seem to be doing badly . Golf even seems to be off and the other sports don't seem to be competitive. Any theories on why we currently struggle with women' s sports?

Women were down to W&M by 15. Came back to take a 3 point lead. Tribe just tied with a 3 point play. Our ball and just scored with 31 seconds left. 63-61
