women's basketball

I don't disagree with this. We have a chance against UNO. Their ranking is similar to ours, so I am not sure how good an indicator beating them is. But a win is a good thig, regardless. Ole Miss is a really bad SEC team, but they ARE an SEC team. We will get a ratings bump by beating UNO, no doubt.

It sucks they lost a winnable game to Sam Houston, where we were up at the half, we played 1 really bad quarter of basketball and cost them the game. Otherwise this team would be 4-0.

1st Quarter we won 20-17, we shot 35% 7-20 in this quarter
2nd Quarter we tied 17-17, we shot 50% 5-10 in this quarter
4th Quarter we won 23-21, we shot 50% 8-16 in this quarter

3rd Quarter we lost and lost badly 22-13, we shot 20% 3-15 in this quarter.

Also we only shot 1-7 from 3 point range for the game, while they shot 5-13 from long distance.

Southeastern is ranked # 324 by Massey. We should beat any such team we play.

He died.

Could be fake news.

Telling the truth is not "hate", and the truth is we are a mediocre low level basketball program at this time. If you are accusing me of thinking that Brodhead won't make us better, I agree. Again, that isn't "hate" , it is a conclusion based on 8 years of history.

I know VO is not a fan of Broadhead and I realize that the women's team is not where any of us want it to be, but where the team was when he took over and where he has gotten us to is better (with the exception of last year, due to injuries and other issues).

Remember J Kelly Hall last coached this team in 2006-2007 season, where we went 26-9 and lost to Marquette in the first round of the NCAA tournament. After that the team was a train wreck.

2007-08, the team went 8-22
2008-09, the team went 4-27
2009-10, the team went 10-22
2010-11, the team went 11-19
2011-12, the team went 7-23

Broadhead took over in 20012-13, and he built a better program, granted middle of the pack SBC team but much better than it was until 2018-19.

2012-13, the team went 10-21 in his first season
2013-14, the team went 14-16
2014-15, the team went 23-12 and won the Women's CBI tournament, lost in the SBC SF.
2015-16, the team went 25-10 and won the Women's CBI tournament, lost in the SBC SF.
2016-17, the team went 20-11 and lost in the SBC Championship game and chose not to go to a lower level tournament.
2017-18, the team went 17-16
2018-19, the team lost 2 potential starters in Kimberly Burton and Jasmine Thomas before the season started.

I think this will be a .500 season or better for coach Broadhead. I think what he has done while not JKL like, has been very good and I think considering he only has 1 senior on this team and

Brandi Williams a Sophomore is leading the team in PPG
Ty'Reona Doucet a Junior is 2nd
Skyler Goodwin a Junior is 3rd
Andrea Cornoyer a Sophomore is 4th
Makayia Hallmon a Freshman is 5th
Jasmine Thomas a Junior who did not play last year is 6th
Caira Wren a freshman is 7th
Kimberly Burton a junior that did not play in 2018 is 8th
Diamon Morrison a sophomore is 9th
Alexandria Goodly a freshman is 10th
Kendall Bass, the only Senior is 11th

Of the 11 players listed above each one of them has played in all 4 of the first 4 games and the player that has scored the least of these 11 is the only Senior. That tells me that we have the potential to grow this team over the next couple of years.

[Turbine]

If Broadhead could have taken over from J. Kelley Hall, I am pretty confident in saying he would have maintained.

Note: His disastrous last year was in coming on the heels of Mrs. Broadhead's death. I know it was 2016 but he was missing his recruiting year. 17-18, and 18-19 were total regrouping years.

While all of this is true, and aside from Marlin's 1 Regular Season title and 1 Tournament title, Brodhead's record is comparable to Marlin's; we still have the better part of a decade with no Conference Championships, no Tournament Championships, and no post season appearances other than buy ins under his coaching.

This may be acceptable to you or to many women's basketball fans, but this is not the way I want to see my university represented in this or any other sport. It is not personal with Brodhead or with Marlin, but neither is advancing their program beyond mediocrity.

Turbine, I am confident that he would have done better than Erroll Rogers, but his record is what it is; it doesn't take 8 years to build a successful program in basketball, and he has not done so. History says that had he taken over for Hall, he would have gradually regressed to where he is now. Of course there is no way to prove that either way.

I can't dispute that.

ps The reason I think he would have maintained is, I think he would have recruited those twins to UL.

I’m not happy with either, but there is a difference...Marlin would probably be gone if not for the tournament and regular season titles.
