Well, it was fun while it lasted.

 

[MSOrange]

Well we let that one get away. Disappointing

 

[Dcuse]

Way to take advantage of the larger crowd there crew. What a crunch time collapse.

 

[SURules]

Well we let that one get away. Disappointing

Another game where the other team doesn’t have more talent and this one was at home and we lost, yet again.

 

[hoopsupstate]

No closers on this team. We had one last year.

 

[stlorange]

ugh, turned game on for a moment to check and we were up 14, went back to work and turned it on again and we were down 6...

 

[Cheriehoop]

Wondering why Journey Thompson didn’t see any time today, sick, injured, scheme? Shy Hawkins minutes have really been erratic the past month.

Johnson & Clark are 5star recruits, and Lattimore was a 4 star, all Espn ranked. Syr would be a great mid-major roster but is not a power 5 roster. They did play well today but when you don't have bench play, starters are gassed in the 4th.

That was your mistake!

Going back to work.

Never do that again.

I have found Coach's substitutions to be head scratcher all season. Not knowing if players are injury, bad practice or just not in coaches favor but feels like less rotation. I worry that those players may hit the portal.

People on this thread need to stop posting if they are not informed! As stated above, Virginia has two 5 stars and a 4 star. Interesting point that none of the announcers for the game even mentioned. Lattimore is out of Canada. She along with an elite point guard teammate, signed to play at Syracuse, but when Coach Q resigned, they both selected other programs: the point guard went to Duke and Lattimore went to Texas!. I was hoping, when I saw Lattimore in the Portal, that she would consider Syracuse again. Lattimore can play, she killed us today! Say what you want about Coach Q, he could recruit!! As previously posted, Virginia's recruiting is on the rise, especially with the multi million dollar multi year cash commitment they just received from a billionaire Alum and husband of Serena Willaims. Syracuse played hard today, looked very good at times and just came up short due to some poorly timed turnovers that allowed UVA to go on a 9-0 run, when we were up 14!! A tribute to the coach and the team...that we are still fighting and have not given up...despite our record. Go Orange!!!

Why would any underclass women still on this roster want to hit the Portal? Syracuse will loose:
starters: Verajao, Woolley, Camp, Wood, and one of the forwards from the bench, Saniaa Wilson This current freshman class: Keira Scott, Olivia Schmitt, Shy Hawkins, and Madeline Potts, have all played this year and I would be surprised if at least two out of that group are not starters next year.
Journey Thompson came to Syracuse out of the Portal from Arizona State, where she averaged less than 6 points per game and less that 6 rebounds per game as a starter. She will be our tallest returning player next year at 6-3, and here's hoping that we recruit over her and get a much more productive starter from the Portal. The star of our transfer portal acquisitions this year, was Velez, who was a 4 star player and ranked in the top 40, coming out of HS, and came to us from LSU, and her play this year hasn't met expectations based on her pedigree.

As far as the rotation and substitution pattern goes, you are correct, it has been very inconsistent and hard to figure out from game to game. I trust Coach Jack's judgement, as she is in practice with these young ladies every day. I think she is just trying to win and going with the best players that she thinks can bring home that W!! If she can keep the current group of eligible players together and hits that portal hard for some talented post players, next year's team should be more competitive.
The transfer portal will be the key, if we don't get at least two really good Bigs, next year will be tough as well. What kind of Bigs do we need: Did you see Lattimore form UVA play today? She was in the Portal last year after not playing much at Miami!
