2021-22 Wake Women's Hoops Thread - Hoover fired after 10 seasons

5 point loss. Team hasn’t won a game in a month
 
2021-22 Women's Basketball Thread (12-10, 2-9) vs. Duke Sun 6 pm ACCN

The bar is low in the ACC. They mentioned that 8 teams are projected to get in and Miami is first four out at 12-9 (5-6). Beat Pitt, Clemson, and Miami and we’d still have chance.
 
Not any more. Deacs up 61-60 at the end of the 3rd. Spear with a last second layup.

No way we win after Duke hit a baseline three off glass to go up 6. Pretty sure every team who has hit a shot like that in that situation has won.

Spear’s 3 to get within 1 rimmed out. Then the last three got stuck on the rim. Some bad execution and bad luck.

Duke wins 81-76.

Didn’t realize women’s hoops can advance the ball after a timeout. It’s messed up that college women’s hoops rules are closer to the NBA than men’s.

Tough ass loss. Played well and kept fighting back but Duke kept raining them. Doubt Jen survives but man the ACC Women are a tougher gig than baseball or Women or mens soccer.
 
I completely missed that the women played at Clemson at 2:00 today. Lost 87-78 to fall to 12-12. Keep in mind 2 months ago, women's basketball had about the same record as football and men's basketball.

Clemson led 38-34 at the half and led by as much as 14 in the 2nd half. Spear had 18 on 6-19 shooting to lead 5 players in double-figures. Morra had 16 and 9.

Wake is now 2-11 in the ACC. Clemson is now 3-11. Wake plays 0-11 Virginia at 4:00 on Sunday on the ACC Network.
 
Gotta pull this one out against an awful UVA team. It will be a miracle though if this team can stay over .500 and make the WNIT.
 
A good fourth quarter performance earned the ladies a 68-53 victory. Spear led the team with 17 points. Becker had 11 points, was the leading rebounder with 7 and had 4 assists. Williams had 8 points, six rebounds and led the team with 5 assists.

“Good” is subjective here as UVA is like 3-18 and has 0 conference wins but the ladies really needed this one.
 
Lost to #4 State 92-61. Williams had 14 pts, 6 reb. Lady Deacs are 13-13. They play 16-10 BC on Sunday at noon.
 
After nine years as head coach, Jen can come no closer than 31 points to beating NC State, enough to said!
 
Lost to BC 82-70. Lady Deacs trailed 22-11 at the end of the 1st and it was never a game. Harrison was the leading scorer with 15. Spear had 11.

Lady Deacs (13-14, 3-13) fell below .500 for the first time this season.

Remaining games are vs. 11-15 Cuse on Thursday at 7:00 on ACCNX and #16 GT next Sunday at 1:00 on ACCNX.

Right now, the Lady Deacs are tied with Clemson for the 12th seed at 3-13. They're probably looking at the 12/13 game vs. Clemson on Wednesday, March 2. Winner would play the #5 seed probably UNC or GT.

After a promising start, Hoover is looking at another under .500 season.

not a big follower of women's basketball but if you continually have a losing record perhaps a change should be made. This is not high school. Students should be given the best chance to win which means we should give them a good coach.
 
There's been little difference between men's and women's basketball over the 11 years before this one. In fact, men's basketball was .399 and women's basketball was .467. I'm sure Currie sees how quickly Forbes turned things around and has someone in mind who can do it for the women's team.
 
Jen Hoover farewell tour???

It's easy to blend in with the crap when every program is shitty. Now it is pretty clear that Women's Bball and Volleyball (and maybe even Field Hockey weirdly enough) are the weak links in an otherwise extremely strong Athletic Department (I'll give baseball a pass since they made the supers 4 years ago and have started 3-0....but Walter is on thin ice too).

How about Jerry Haas, mens golf, after 24 years as the head coach he has 0 ACC titles and 0 NCAA titles!

That’s a little different. They are perennial contenders for the most part. Winning a single golf tournament such as the ACC’s or national championship is a crapshoot.
 
WF mens golf is a top 15 program; they recruit at an ultra elite level. Look at what Young and Zalatoris are doing on the PGA tour. IIRC, they made the NCAA final 8 in recent years. The ACC title drought is maddening, but that seems to be more attributable to the randomness of that sport than a coaching flaw.
 
My son is a freshman at MSD and has had the opportunity to practice with the women. Hes a big strong kid with some skills so they asked him to play some 5 v 5 with the lady deacs. Says the team is super nice as is Jen (I think they are promising him some new shoes if he practices enough times with them over the next few weeks). Even got to play on the Joel floor the AM before the Miami game.
 
First game I'm watching in a few weeks. Good start. Up 21-16 at the end of the 1st. Becker has 9 points off the bench.

A win here would bring the Lady Deacs to 4-13 tied with Cuse for the 11 seed with a tiebreaker. The 11 seed plays next Wednesday against the 14 seed (Pitt or UVA) for the chance to play against the 6 seed (likely #22 GT who they play on Sunday).

Spear's first made basket made it 31-19.

Up 39-28 at the half. Becker with 13 and 6 on 5-7 fg. Morra with 8 and 6.

Up 64-43 at the end of the 3rd. Morra with 14 and 11. Spear with 16.

Lady Deacs win 76-60. Morra had career highs with 21 pts, 14 reb on 10-15 fg. Spear had 19 pts. Becker had 13 and 8.
