Don't get me wrong, Coach Robinson is a decent coach but his DNA is he never recruit quick and fast guards who can really shoot and handle the ball. Hiring a bona fide shooting coach may help but we need ladies that already have that form and abilities to shoot coming out of high school. Troy entire team minus 1 came from the portal. JUCO and D1 transfers. Its not many High schoolers that are playing at that level Thanks ….now that explains them high level D1 talent ….i was wondering |

We need shooters and top notch guard play. Ain't gone never win a crown with the poor shooting we displayed last night and also against Old Dominion. |

Ain't gone never win a crown with the poor shooting we displayed last night and also against Old Dominion. That's a coaches decision. I like building thru HS players. Now i think we can go get a Transfer or 2 here and there, but long term i don't personally think it's successful. Let's not forget , Troy didn't win the Sunbelt and was upset in their conference tournament by the #7 seed |

We need both already "good to great" 3-pt shooters and okay 3-pt shooters. Both groups are to continue to be developed by A&T coaches throughout their college career in striving to improve their shooting percentage.
Not all but some of the other things pointed out are team development in my opinion focused on good execution of a play or offensive set whether youareagoodor bad shooter. How to set good screens for shooters, timing coming off of screens, ready to catch and shoot, good passing to the shooter in the shot pocket. If all players learn these things your shooting percentage will go up because of better shot selection.
Troy players look like better 3-pt shooters on some plays due to better execution and shot selection. Now I am not ruling out that overall they may have better shooters, but how can you say for sure if the "average" degree of difficulty throughout the entire game or season is higher for A&T players. This falls on coaching and discipline.
Show me a comparison of how well these women shoot 3-pt shots at practices: spot up, shooting on the move, dribble to a shot, etc. Then at practice let me see your these same stats when you are being defended, under the shot clock, and execution of several plays that require a 3-pt shot be taken. These exercises will determine the root cause of our poor shooting. Right now we are assuming that these players either can't shoot or some were in a shooting slump.

They are ranked 120 in the nation in 3 point shooting % . www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/three-point-pctOutside of their 3-pt shooters Troy falls short in Every category That composites A good basketball team . www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-women/d1/current/team/472Truthfully I my opinion , we beat ourselves by going away from what we do best..i.e Dominating the paint Period from start to finish. Don't get it twisted we need consistent deep shooters that can also play both ends of the floor. That is what I think that coach Rob is trying to perfect. A team that fits all categories, that be effective inside and outside on offense an aggressive in tight on defense. Rob is building a complete program and the pieces will come. |

Just looked at the box score for last night's game and despite our poor shooting, we hung in there. Usually we have one quarter where we really stink but that wasn't the case last night. Even though we were down by 9 after the first quarter, we still had a decent quarter... Troy just had an amazing one. We kept scoring the next 3 quarters but never could dig ourselves out of that first quarter hole.
Hey, on any given night good teams will beat better teams...that just didn't happen last night. We can speculate and pontificate about why we didn't win last night but it just wasn't out night.
I'm proud as hell of those young ladies and hope they realize how much we appreciate their efforts. I've been an Aggie for nearly 60 years and this was an amazing performance. Enjoy the offseason and thanks for the effort.

We did not play at Championship level, but we played good basketball per our limitations in the WNIT Tournament. |

Its not many High schoolers that are playing at that level Thanks ….now that explains them high level D1 talent ….i was wondering Sorry, no it does not. How many Freshman did we start? Our returning players had just as much of a chance to be good 3-pt shooters as Troy's transfers. Additionally, how are Troy's players "high D1 talent?" We made them look better than they are with our performance in my opinion. If they were that good, then Troy would be playing in the NCAA March Madness Tournament versus WNIT. |

We made them look better than they are with our performance in my opinion. If they were that good, then Troy would be playing in the NCAA March Madness Tournament versus WNIT. Or the WBIT, which is really right after NCAAT this year. WNIT is kinda 3rd in line. And Sun Belt women’s hoop is nothing to rave about either, to your point. It’s definitely a difference between it and the bottom of the CAA, but the best of the CAA could be middle of the pack at least in the league for sure. This team had offense struggles all year that got exposed in this particular matchup, and depth issues as well that everyone had addressed for the sake of fatigue. Outside of Maleia, there’s never been great shooting on this team (and she’s not great either to me, streaky more so), and they tried to win a game from the 3pt line with a team that can’t defend the paint, & therein you have the result: a double digit loss. |

Enjoy the offseason and thanks for the effort. hey, gotta admit, this was a simple case of "they were better than us", period. no need for in depth analysis of this game, they simply had better athletes than us, but i'm still extremely proud of our young ladies. defensively, we just couldn't stay in front of troy's players, "numerous times" they plain out beat us off the dribble going to the hoop and we also gave them too many "clean looks" at the basket from the outside. but that was because they were "quicker" and better skilled than us. no excuses. the better team won last night. however, i luv my lady aggies and if nothing else, i betcha the caa won't disrespect our ladies in next season's preseason predictions anymore. 8th place my azz! show our program some doggone "respect", we've "earned it"... |

With all the great shooting they did, and bad shooting we did, we were only down 5 with 6:30 left in the game. Great BONUS basketball from our young ladies...with 3 home games to boot! Congratulations Ladies! Agreed! Next year, if we don't make the NCAA tournament, we'll step up a notch & play in the WBIT which is now the 2nd tier women's tournament after the NCAA. Aggie Pride! #OnTo202425 |

Was any money made given the reported attendance ? Where was the pep band after the UNCG game?

Professor said it was against the law for any pep band members to be within a 20 mile radius of campus this weekend.
It's not their fault. Blame the government.
