I wish her the best too, but surely two years out of the game is going to have a huge impact. Sorry to hear that for her.

Zya had some real struggles rehabbing from the knee injury. I'm concerned for her. Wishing her the best.

I was all set to come in here and say the GCU women got their butts kicked by Saint Mary's. Then they outscored Saint Mary's 24 to 5 in the fourth quarter and won on a last second 3.

#1 LSU WBB and their arrogant "star" player got their butts kicked in their first game by Colorado 92-78. I have to laugh at this one.

For me, it is because they have been D1 for about 7 years and there is a bunch of hype but they have never won anything (that's more the media's fault but still..). 2 years ago the Ladyjacks met them in the conference finals and won handily. Last year, the Ladyjacks lost in GCU Arena.

I'm used to thinking, "Oh that's cute these Gulf Star teams think they have a chance" or "Oh that's cute these southland teams think they have a chance." Yes, the Ladyjacks occasionally won the conference but lost in the tournament or had a couple of down years, but this is the first time where there are consistent threats in the conference. I put SUU in that bucket as well.

I definitely didn't like it when Miller refused to shake our hands a couple years back. Yes, it was the pandemic(and she used that excuse) but she had shook others hands during other games...she was royally pissed that we beat them.

Jordan Harrison had 10 assists in West Virginia's takedown of Pitt today. Looks like she has some really capable offensive teammates that will make life easy for here there.

I watched it...was a great game!

Ahhh, yes! I forgot about stealing the plays!

I was not aware of the manager thing. I meant hype amongst the media. The only reason they had fans at the Saint Mary game is because it was Saint Mary and it was the first game of a double header with the men. Their WBB fans are a little like some of our SFA students. They only show up if it is on ESPN, a big name university, or one of the 3 state universities. It's possible the NAU women would have more fans there. There are lots and lots of NAU grads in Phoenix.

There will be fans there tonight because they play Oregon. The fans will show up to watch them get crushed.

17 home games for GCU women last season with an average attendance of 889. That includes 6,000 for their game vs Arizona State. Average home attendance for the other 16 games was about 570.

This is disgusting. Just 2 games?? Man should be unemployed. What a joke.

You don't often see an 80 point rout in games between two D-I teams. We had one yesterday. Baylor beat McNeese State 124-44. It's going to be a looong season for the Cowgirls.

Completely agree with you Pilotgirl that this man should be out of a job and blacklisted from coaching. How many young women has he terrorized and more by the acts that the PI report shows he committed. Of course he has the right to dispute and give his side of the story.....but if even only a portion of these incidents are proven to have taken place then the University has failed in it's job to protect the students.

Exactly! Imagine trying to recruit players with this history? Yuck all around.

West Virginia 6-0

Does anyone know what happened to Star Jacobs? She hasn't played a single game for APB this year.

Agreed. She is still wearing her UTA uniform in her Twitter profile and banner yet she has posted recently.

Harrison is averaging 13.5 ppg. We should know soon if WVU WBB is for real. They open Big12 play on 12/30 at Kansas. In all honesty, their pre-conference schedule was not challenging.

Kellogg got a new job and got his team ranked in near record time. #25 West Virginia starts Big 12 play today at Kansas at noon.

Kansas is coached by Kellogg's predecessor at SFA, Brandon Schneider. Schneider was the 2022 Big 12 coach of the year. Kansas won the WNIT in 2023.

Well the battle of the former SFA coaches ended with WVU dominating Kansas by 25. Harrison put in a game high 21. 12-0.

Is the difference @ WVU this year a result of the Kellogg Effect or the Harrison Effect? Would they be 12-0 without Jordan Harrison? I doubt it.

Agree. The Ladyjacks this year with Jordan …. I can only imagine.

#10 Texas burst #24 WVU's bubble with a 70-49 win in Morgantown. Jordan Harrison scored 10 for West Virginia.

An interesting story making the rounds this week is about the Ole Miss WBB head coach complaining about that university's fiscal report showing that her women's BB team lost $8.4 million last year. You read that right... $8.4 MILLION!

So what did the head coach do? She openly complained on X (Twitter) about the fellow who issued the report and jumped all over the community for not attending their games. Needless to say, she's not the most popular person in that part of Mississippi right now.

BTW, the Ole Miss football team made $12.3 million and the baseball team made $166,000 before her team lost $8.4 million of it.

#23 West Virginia finishes the first half of Big 12 play 8-2 one game out of the lead. Have a big game next Saturday at Baylor.

Kellogg and Harrison holding their own so far.
