Had 17 turnovers today that resulted in 19 points for AFA. I liked their education day for a conference game and Clune was loud.

Game goes to OT and Wyoming has the same amount of turnovers in the frame as points....2.....check notes again...Wyoming has scored a total of 3 points in two OT games this year

We suck

7 - 13 in conference, and 10-19 overall. Poor showing, as we all know.

Losing 4 seniors and a good scorer in that group. Heather better be in the transfer portal this year because next year could be worse

I guess this deserves an update. The women lost to Air Force in the 1st round and end the season 10-20.

But, but, but Heather is a phenomenal coach, that makes phenomenal decisions, and recruits phenomenal players. LMAO. Talk about a poor Burman hire, she is the poster child for his hiring processes...take the easiest route, it takes less effort.

Not just hiring but giving extensions that are very favorable to coaches without much outside interest. I hope she turns it around but next year is looking potentially worse with the losses. I doubt there is much care within the athletics department for the women’s program (or so it seems to me on the outside). I don’t see a lot of current hope other than the fact that the new conference makeup looks to be extremely poor for women’s basketball.

That said - the internal volleyball Kaylee (Koetter) Prigge is looking like a gem. So the easy internal route hire pays off about 20% of the time I guess.

Just thinking of some of the other easy route hires makes my head spin: Edwards, Sawvel

100%. It was the laziest, most pathetic hire yet!

I would tend to agree with you on Prigge, but look what happened previously that ended up in her hiring. There was some shady shit go on in that program the last 15 years.

I will never understand the Edwards and Sawvel hires.

While both Shyatt and Bohl had substantially improved their programs compared to what they inherited, it wasn't exactly like we were consistently dominant in either program at the time they retired. I think both Shyatt and Bohl were pretty damn good coaches (I know some disagree with me on this point), but they had not built the program to a level where we could just plug in an assistant and think we were going to continue the upward trajectory automatically. We were not at a Boise State or NDSU level of sustained success...not even close.

But that seems to be exactly what Burman was expecting in both situations. Two pretty big wasted opportunities if you ask me.
