    Time for Armstrong to figure out the identity of this team. He took away the power and experience to build around youth and speed. Hasn't worked out well so for him. Few moves need to be made and blah to the 16th pick

    Pac-12 was a better conference than Big 10 last season. They will be fine with style of play. Our ladies aren't a physical team but run and gun for example. I am intrigued to see how the schedules setup for road games and going coast to coast. Stanford had 3 conference losses, USC and UCLA...

    I am holding out final judgment until I see final rosters. I see us being anywhere from 3rd to 10th in the conference. Ton of 2nd tier teams where you could mix us around.

    Beauty of the schedule this season is we get Northwestern twice and likely the two best teams face each other twice in USC-UCLA

    Big 10 has gotten 7 teams in the tournament each of the last two seasons. Throw in the expansion it's a down season if only 6-7 get in next season. I love the ladies but USC is going to dominate the conference. I'm waiting to see the final rosters before making any predictions other than USC...

    Yep. Below is literally what I put on this forum about 9-10 games into the season. "Almost like the construction of this team. Just one of those years you try to make it through."

    Pretty much will come down to injuries. We lose any of the starters for an extended time than I have a few concerns. Two seasons ago we were a borderline tourney team. Last season we started slow and made a great run in the WBIT to be champs. I'm not expecting miracles but making the...

    100% agree....all about Union and umpires have one (MLBUA) It will be a matter of time before the automated strike zone is coming. The guys mentioned above are a huge reason for it

    Almost all of these names we never had a chance at or could get them on campus. $, playing time and middle of the pack team(even though we are excited) appeal to a certain crowd. Next offseason will need some bigger additions with all the experience leaving. The coaching staff still is...

    Still going after another big Reality check-We are a borderline top 25 team that is probably 500/1 to win it all. We have experience but still missing an mpact starting 5. These aren't complaints as knowing we are on the rise but ton of talent has been added to the Big Ten this off-season.

    Nothing has changed in coaching philosophy for finding transfers this off-season. They wanted another guard and 2 post players. Time to land some post players.
