Ladies Hammer LaSalle

UNTLifer · December 9, 2017

Started hot and ran away from LaSalle. Final was 70-44.

Completely outclassed LaSalle. I didn't think anyone from NT had an outstanding game. Holmes played very well though. She could be the best player at NT since Mitchell.

They're a 20+ win team

So do we need to worry about hanging on to Jalie? Or is this her dream job since it’s her alma mater?

Harry · December 10, 2017

Think what they could have if they hadn’t had the injuries... pretty amazing job by Jalie. She inherited a hot mess from Coach Pete.

I think as long as we pay her a fair salary the list of jobs she would leave for is pretty short. If this year ends the way it has started it needs to be raise and extension time in WBB land. She took over an absolute disaster from Peterson and has shown improvement each year.

If you look at the roster, with transfers that will be eligible next year, this team could be really, really good for years to come.

I think this is where she wants to be. I had a conversation with her and this seems like her dream job. I just think that eventually we will have to pay her more money. Like everything else, money talks and BS walks.

WBB is playing great. It's a shame that attendance is so low.

I'm excited that success is being had under the direction of a Mean Green grad.

i hope they have a great season

Venson · December 17, 2017

They will be great. They are starting two FR and 3 JR with no SR on the team. Mabodu is the only SR on the roster, but her career ended by injury last spring so I think she is still listed only to keep her scholarship if she has one. Same with Ty Warren even though she is a JR. Her career is over due to injury. Justis is hurt and so is Townley. So, there are a lot of FR and SO playing this year and they are in every game. The loss to K-State was bad officiating. This team is the real deal. They have Coach Mitchell's print all over them and that is great defense. Three times this year they have kept opponents at 40 or less and only one team has scored more than 60 and that was a 3 point loss to Indiana, which is really a basketball school.

Indiana was a 5 point loss. I forget how much the ladies were down by but they made a valiant effort to try to battle back. They came out with a slow start and the deficit was too much to overcome.

Over 20 at one point, I think. Shots just wouldn’t fall but they refused to mail it in. Love this team.

Venson · December 18, 2017

No quit in this team. I am excited for conference play.Hopefully we can get the word out about how good they are and get people to the games to support them.
