Timid, soft, got pushed around, star struck...except for Kalis and Jenna.(the two experienced players)
Very disappointed in Darika. She didn't show up.
I can't count the number of bad passes.
I was not impressed with West Virginia. I think LU could beat them, unless they were having a bad
game too.
Great season...Looking forward to seeing Kalis and Jenna next season.
The remaining team needs to step it up. Smith and Green is not bringing it like I believe they can.
Jenna and Kalis can't do it all by themselves.

We played the number 10 team in the nation tough tonight, and gave them all they could handle.

Great season Lady Cards, can't wait for next november!

The Lady Cards did have a great season.  They made it to the BIG DANCE!  We were disappointed in a few of our players, but we were playing the No. 10 team in the nation. Had it not been for the big lead we gave them it would have  been really interesting.  I think that Ang Green should have more playing time... why she did not play more is a wonder.

Take away our star struck first 5 minutes that we looked nervous as all get out (score was 19 - 3 then) and we beat them the rest of the game. I know we looked pretty sloppy at times and had some bad turnovers but we played toe to toe with them. If we hit a couple more threes like we usually do its an entirely different game. Jenna, Kalis, and AC were a combined 4 for 17 from 3 point land. We know they are much better than that. Darika did have a bad night going only 3 for 12 from the field. We also know that isn't the way she normally shoots. I think we played very hard and left it all out on the floor. Great season ladies and we should be contending again next season!

I wondered that myself. She played much more earlier in the season but not as much lately.

[/quote]  First ten minutes looked like a case of first-time nerves.  WVU is good defensively but the Cards were getting the shots they normally hit and couldn't make any of them.  Biggest problem West Virginia posed was rebounding.  We got four offensive boards and night when we weren't shooting very well.

When you play in an NCAA playoff game nothing seems familiar.  The rim looks smaller, the floor feels larger, and the lights are brighter.  You walk by a teammate and realize they are being interviewed on ESPN by a celebrity (Brenda Hatchet being interviewed by Cheryl Miller).  The Frank Erwin Center makes The Montagne Center feel like a Jr. High gym.  The fans appear to be a mile away. 

It seems the Lady Cards got caught up in all of that at the beginning of the game.  I was proud to see them fight back and pull within 8 points.  Coach Tidwell has a great team to build on.  I hope the exposure brings in some talented recruits. 

Great season Lady Cardinals!! This old Cardinal is very proud :)

Great season, hopefully the recruits next year can help our bench.

We need to play a harder preseason, if we win the championship of the conference by 27, what's that say about the competition?

They did play a good nonconference schedule.  Key games were A&M, Baylor, Texas Tech.  Not sure who is on the schedule for next year, but Tidwell will have some Big 12 games.

I liked the aggressive play of Lamar and how they attacked the basket against a taller and deeper team.  As others have said, a little more depth on this team would have made a difference.  And with San Diego State beating Texas, they would have had a good shot at the sweet 16 if they would have won.

On a related note, Tidwell has done in 3 years what Roc hasn't been able to do in 4.  The SLC is a very weak conference so Tidwell does have that slight advantage over Roc, but both were known as great recruiters.  Tidwell has been able to bring in some real good talent while Roc hasn't.

      REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.

      They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.

      What’s your take on brookeland?  How do they compare to those teams in the late 90s early 2000s?
