The past three seasons for the women's basketball team have been great to see... and I know the team lost some key players from graduation...
... but this season's team really stinks. They are SO fundamentally bad that it's hard to watch. I'd be surprised if they have a winning season.
Texas State just put on a clinic of how women's basketball should be played, instead of the hodge podge of turnovers and missed shots that Troy puts out on the court.

I’m sure Chanda Rigby appreciates your support and input.

The men have good fundamentals, they're just not shooting the ball well. The women just look... bad. There's just no flow to anything they do, they don't pay attention to the defensive set around them, and it looks like they are just tossing the ball up toward the basket hoping it will somehow go in.

Maybe I have been watching a group of impostors dressed in Trojan uniforms play this season because the multiple ladies games I have attended have proven that we can score (one of the leading scoring teams in the nation). This team will grow and learn as the season unfolds, and my guess is Coach Rigby will figure out any necessary adjustments to keep Troy in the hunt again for a conference title. Awfully early to throw in the towel on this squad....
Go TROY!

The sooner it's thrown in the less emotional investment one has in the team and their performance should they not achieve greatness" Said no winner ever.

Awfully early to throw in the towel on this squad.... Go TROY! I'm not throwing in the towel. History shows that they're able to get things rolling when the SBC Tournament comes around. I have hope they can repeat another SBC title. But this isn't NEARLY as good of a team as the previous three teams. The offense can score, but for the past three seasons they were Top 10 in the nation in that category. Now they are #17. Which isn't bad, but it's a step back. The most glaring concern is the defense. The scoring defense on this team is as strong as a wet piece of paper. Troy is #342 in the nation in scoring defense, which is just eight spots away from being dead-last in the country. On top of that, they ladies are committing 19 turnovers per game... which is good for #314 in nation in the Turnovers category. They're not making good decisions and there's not a lot of chemistry. Troy has also attempted 1,203 shots so far this season, which is the second-most in the country behind Ohio State. But Troy is only draining 37% of those shots. That's because this team has bad fundamentals and bad shooting technique. I digress. Here's to hoping that the issues are getting fixed as the season goes on... Rigby has been recruiting too well to have so much trouble.

I’m sure Chanda Rigby appreciates your support and input. Ditto. I’ve discussed several sports on multiple occasions with Chanda. She’s very smart, especially when it comes to the sport of basketball. I will lean to the coaching decisions of the 2 time defending Sun Belt champs as opposed to those of a keyboard coach. Especially a keyboard coach that’s constantly looking for something to whine about.

Unfortunately If we do win the SBC this year in womens we draw a really good team that kills us (Oregon St and Nat Champs Miss St), Such is life of a conference percieved as possibly the weakest D1 basketball conference in the country.

We drew a final 4 and Nat Champ the last two years

Anyone who thought this years women's team would be great (especially early) was crazy. We lost a ton of players last year, including one of the greatest to ever play here, in Ramirez. This bunch is young but extremely athletic. The transfer from Marquette is really starting to find her game, the freshman are getting better. Rigby and her staff know what they are doing.

Sucked for 3 1/2 years but came on strong end of last year and now back to his first 3 seasons so we will see how he finishes to

It’s a rebuilding year. We lost a lot from last year and year before.
I’ve got 100% faith in Rigby and staff. Lots of young talent. Will be very good again soon.
