This was posted by Bri's sister - let not assume that she is a lipreading expert or just stirring the pot. I'm not arguing either way but assuming Lech said something nasty is unfalr to Lech. Bri had a great series against her former team. I would say I saw her make some "signs" to her dugout which seemed a little nasty so there's that. (which she conveniently cut off before Bri made her gesture)

Hope we all shoot well. In the first game against LSwho we shoot 44.1% and in the second only 37.5%. Will need to be at least at 45% (my guess) to beat them today and the defense will need to not foul and get Angel in foul trouble!

Honesty played 29 minutes as did Shaw. Only Jamaya played more at 31. Because of their defense Honesty wasn't having the best day and the rest of the team was scoring so resting her legs wasn't such a bad decision. As a team we shot 46.8% - pretty good outing.

Pretty bogus call as Florida did not have possession of the ball!

It's important to beat Arkansas in the SEC tournament and not look forward to the next game in the bracket!

Akinbolawa has a broken thumb.

According to the stats for the LSU game - that is correct.

Thanks - been here a while - just quite. (keeps me out of trouble!)

FYI on Garcia - her current hitting stats as of now - on base - .203, slugging - .294, batting average - .176. She's playing right field. I hope she doesn't start getting in her grove until after we play them!

Yes, bases were loaded.

Good or bad - not all teams are built for threes. Sometimes it may be better to pass up a three (even with a good look) to get the higher percentage 2 and maybe draw the foul driving. The refs were not consistent last night (and generally haven't been all season). It will be interesting to see how the game against Bama is called on Sunday!

attendance is trending up - for home games (according to the stats on the AU webiste4 for WBB) 19-20 - 1843 20-21 - 618 21-22 - 2194 23-23 - 2212 23-24 (with home games remaining) - 4559 I'll give you that the game against Bama that include the jersey retirement for Dewanna is in those numbers but there is some excitement being generated this year. The jungle (although not as big as for a men's game) added some spark last night!

Lots of "coach speak" on the transfers - we'll see what the product on the floor looks like soon enough.

Arkansas was 40-19, 14-10 in conference - Auburn 43-19, 15-9 in conference. Don't know it's about winning games. Think there are things that we don't know.

Suggestion - everyone should send a well thought out email to John Cohen - you will probably get some canned response about your passion for the program but it will help him discern interest in the program. I sent him a trend chart for batting average, slugging percentage, on base and fielding % for the time Dean has been here. If you look at those averages the team is basically flat. jac0235@auburn.edu I also sent a note to On to Victory.......I got a long response that was mostly an excuse although they did say all of the team was signed up........don't know what that means, how they participated, etc. They need to do more to support women's athletics as I am sure we don't have many (if any) big money donors.

As a reminder - if not for the COVID year they would be gone unless they had a red shirt. Aspyn would not have been here this year.

Just a comment regarding the possibility that the NIL may play into some of the decisions the players are making. IF you contribute to On to Victory, softball specifically, may I suggest that you contact them. I haven't seem them doing much support of the non-revenue sports and have read opinions that the lack of NIL support may have cost us players in women's basketball. I have no idea what the softball team is getting but I would guess that there are a number of schools that are way ahead of Auburn in NIL support of softball.

Good news is that I read that Shelby is available for this coming weekend against Mississippi State.

when it happened I was wondering how many times Bama has done that and actually gotten away with it. Umpire should have call that all day!

Stats are interesting and I like to look and compare. However, IMO we are getting better contact this year compared to last even tho' we don't have as many home runs. Last year's team would probably lost yesterday's game against LSU......just sayin"!

Shelby had surgery, actually in one of the tv shots we could see the scar on her arm. She has had a wrap on her left wrist - not sure what that is about.

My seats are on the third base line. I don't know what Lenti signaled as she rounded second but as she rounded third it looked like he was tryng to get her to hold up.....just hard to tell. Right after that happened Carosone was over at the dugout talking to the players and waving at second base - poor decision no matter who made it. Fortunately it didn't cost us the game.

In essence Ken Brooke, volunteer coach, is the hitting coach - regardless of what the bio says.

You are correct - we hoped for more by now but the team has been riddled with nagging injuries.

IMO - Having watched McCondichie and Bryant both at second - my choice would be McCondichie. Granted, her bat isn't quite as good but her fielding percentage is much better and she's a leader on the field.
