Nah man, she's a female Jerry West, aina?

Interesting to see Dawn Staley play the race card after the loss. I don't follow the sport so I'm not sure what her issue is. Any insights?

She didn't play the race card.
She was responding to a question about her team being labeled with terms like "bullies" because they play physical.
Same nonsense John Thompson dealt with 40 years ago at Georgetown.

Thanks.

This was the specific question and complete answer:

[cheebs09]

I certainly don’t have her frame of reference, but calling a team bullies to me seems more about the style of play. They impose their will and our aggressive.

To me it seems very different than the other terms she used.

This women’s final is an awesome basketball game. They sure like to shoot, what a fun way to play.

Clark is incredible. There’s really no bad shot for her no matter the difficulty.

She is, but she is allergic to defense. #2 on LSU is out of her mind. It sucks that the refs are an abomination.

She’s been in some bad foul trouble all game. That technical was such a joke.

ETA: this is my first time watching her, so by no means an expert.

Never watched her before either, she is fun. That T was horrible. Iowa hasn’t stopped anyone but foul trouble has definitely been part of that.

[wadesworld]

Clark should’ve been able to get away with murder today. People are actually watching women’s basketball. And it’s for a single reason. You can’t put that reason on the bench.

Having said that, how she gets 4 fouls when she shows so little effort on defense is beyond me.

LSU is great. Plays a way more fun style of basketball than South Carolina did.

These referees should be in prison.

[MuggsyB]

It doesn't sound like the refs were remotely good or competent in today’s women's championship. 

[Marquette Fan]

I missed most of the game but all I’m reading online now are comments about how awful the officiating was.

I hate that they moved to the championship game to the afternoon - wish it would have stayed in prime time.

The ratings for this are through the roof.  Everyone in the country wants to watch her and the refs called several terrible touchy fouls on her.  the technical was a joke and even the broadcast crew said what a crime it was.

Chloe took part in the 3X3U National Championship last Sunday in Houston. Her team ended up winning - https://twitter.com/3X3UHoops/status/1642732830751956994?cxt=HHwWhIC93cqzlMwtAAAA

Sad to see her career end on the bench in the tournament, glad she was able to wear the Marquette jersey one last time and go out on a high note.

Lefty playmaking guard. Not afraid to take and make big shots. DMV. Runs AAU with Germantown Lady Panthers (UA). Physical player, attacks the basket downhill with power and finishes with finesse. Kind of an old school player. Under the radar but good.

Her U17 team won the Gold Division in last Summer’s Run for the Roses in Louisville.

Top 5 at her position in MD. Honorable Mention All Met. Didn’t play on a great HS team.

Duffy interviewed for the Pittsburgh job according to this article - https://pittsburghsportsnow.com/2023/03/14/pitt-womens-basketball-coaching-search-update/

The article mentions other coaches to interview that will likely be in the second round of interviews but says it’s unknown  if Duffy will speak with the Pitt AD again.

Pittsburgh hired UMass Head Coach Tory Verdi as its new Head Coach. He was the HC previously at Eastern Michigan, under the current Pittsburgh AD:

Big conference news - DePaul's Aneesah Morrow has entered the transfer portal:

https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/36082975/depaul-aneesah-morrow-entering-transfer-portal

It will be interesting to see where she ends up - I'm guessing a lot of schools are very interested in her.

Darrione Rogers also entered the transfer portal for DePaul and I read somewhere she was their second leading scorer.  Morrow is the big news here though of course.

Any other MU women’s basketball season ticket holders that post on here?  If so, I have a question.
