Not what I opened this thread for, but good article on the women’s basketball team. They are killing it

It’ll be hard to beat Alabama tonight. They have a very good player in Sarah Ashlee Barker who could go for 24-26 points. I hope Amore, Strack, Hassett and Key have a big game.

Bama is out hustling and being more physical so far. The lady cats are letting Barker get where she wants and do what she wants, we have to step up on defense.

Am I the only one who is struggling to listen to this game? I can’t handle the voice of whoever this female commentator is. She hurts my ears

I think I heard that her name was Tameka Catchings (sp.?) She is so monotone.

Brooks has convinced Tyler to be their dog on defense. Adds a lot to the team with a player that plays in your face defense every second. The reason she is getting to play more. Tyler gives us something we did not have. So the quality depth is a little better now with her playing this role.

Oklahoma has that monster 5 to deal with. Will be a great game to watch with the bigs we have and how their monster 5 does against taller players than what she is used to.

Oklahoma just took LSU to the wire in Baton Rouge. So I’m not feeling too confident about our trip to Norman. Hope I’m wrong!

The women have been phenomenal this year Kenny Brooks was a grand slam hire! They do have a very tough schedule coming up now after this Big Bama win. 5 of their last 8 game are against top 25 opponents.

@ #13 Oklahoma
@ Ole Miss
#5 Texas
Georgia
@ Missouri
#7 LSU
#18 Tennessee
@ #2 South Carolina

BRUTAL SCHEDULE I think they can still finish pretty strong!

Haven't kept up with the women much, but I noticed in the box score that Fr Lexi Blue did not play...has something happened w/her? I just know she was a pretty highly touted freshman, and she played a good bit early in the season. Is she hurt, or is she still developing and not quite ready yet for SEC play?

Makes sense... after so many years of one and done for men's basketball, I forget that growth/development still happens in college basketball.
Yes and they stay the 4 years in women's basketball so she still has all the time to develop if the transfer portal doesn't become enticing because you still have that to worry about across the board.

It still amazes me that Kentucky signed a player named Lexi Blue. There has never been a more perfect name for a Kentucky player.

I didn’t watch the broadcast but if it was Tamika Catchings, she is deaf. That’s probably why her voice sounds different.
Yes, she speaks really well considering. Her Dad Harvey played in the NBA with the Sixers and Dr. J. Tamika Catchings may be the best high school athlete, in terms of awards won, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area over the last 30 years.
