Another missed opportunity. Afraid this team is now playing for the WNIT...

Singaporegator · 01-31-2013, 09:58 PM

I hate moral victories!

gtr2x · 01-31-2013, 09:59 PM

Sounds like another tough loss for the ladies.

GboroGator · 01-31-2013, 10:00 PM

Can't win shooting 54% from the FT line..that is terrible.

gatorbogey · 01-31-2013, 10:01 PM

needed to hit a few more of those free throws

missourigator · 02-01-2013, 12:12 PM

This is NOT a moral victory. Mizzou is terrible. I doubt we make even the Wnit since we might end up with a losing record. There are excuses but this shouldn't happen. I was reading GatorBait express and it had all the sports the gators play. One and only ONe is not ranked in the top 20! You guessed it - woman's basketball. If Butler doesn't win next year we need to go in another direction. She has been coaching 5 yrs. and going from the NCAA to nothing is not improving.

womens' BB at UF has always been mediocre to bad.

so, it would be doubtful if we were to instantly turn it around. doubt we could get the best coach (like lacrosse did, who was looking to expand the sport to a new region), nor would it be cost effective to do so, since i doubt we'll get over 4k [ever] in the stands for a game <--- maybe i'm wrong about that, but throwing $$$'s at a coach now wouldn't make business sense, just to get a few more wins. [we did try the route of getting a nat'l title winning coach here and that failed].

so the new tack is to get someone in for the long haul to build the program incrementally. and i think amanda's doing that. she showed she could win w/ peck's players reasonably well. but recruiting lagged. now recruiting seems to be going well, so now we just need to get the young team 'seasoned' w/ game experience.

watching them play, i like the style and the hustle. they do seem to get down on themselves a bit for a missed shot. need to overcome that. and they just need to improve in all aspects of their play. all aspects need alot of improvement. i think next year they will be drastically improved and the year after that, they should seriously contend for a conference title at the very least.
