The wahine’s might, they are really doing a great job this year.

Great opportunity on ESPN2.

I just don’t think they can win the BWC tournament in the current condition they’re in. Worse than that, they’ve had two bad losses, and they were by two teams in the bottom of the conference. This team was dinged up with injuries that held them back early on, and it caught up to them big time.

At this point, I think they should just probably wait until next season and find recruits to replace. If they can find a Stansberry-type player or a good (3 or 4-star) recruit like Bernardo to replace, then this team will be back in business.

This now feels like a sense of urgency for coach Ganot because this team is repeating the same mistakes like what happened after the 2015-16 season, where they had a losing streak at a certain point, and more importantly, they could end up ousted in the first round of the tournament AGAIN. They gotta fix this problem, and whatever it may be, they better do so quick. At that point, the 2nd place position is pretty much in danger and we could be sinking back to the bottom of the conference.
