I'm hoping Marta returns. I firmly believe that the transfer portal will be very good to us based upon this season's accomplishments. Even better than last season. Puff will provide the magic and her teammates will follow. Lulu will make another giant leap and be even a more dangerous scoring threat (opponents will be focusing on Puff). Bring a freakin' friend and get to Haas next Fall. GO Bears!!

Sums it up. We had a brief period in the 3rd where it looked like we got some rhythm. But Mississippi State took a time out and that ended.

Looked like a high school team with their ridiculous turnovers and passing up good shots to eventually take bad ones.

Unfortunately you’re spot on. No way to lipstick this one.

as always you capture the game, but also the emotions of the fan experience.

I thought we got a bad match up (unfortunately we were the top 8 seed so ended up playing a SEC team). I travelled to the game and was very hopeful for at least a first round game before facing Cal's old coach and the juggernaut.

We started off very slow with only Lulu providing some points, but their defender bottled up Williams, and Yo was off her game. Only Michelle played well in the second half giving us a glimmer of hope. But without our shooters we were not going to come back, despite some outstanding defense by Noble.

I agree that one of the frustrating things in college basketball is unless you make some noise in the NCAA it seems like a good season is quickly forgotten.

However, I will not forget this team, especially Michelle who loves Cal, attended so many games of other teams, improved every year, stayed loyal, and was just fun to watch.

One play that really stands out was when Michelle took a shot that went around the rim several times before dropping in. She shrieked with pure joy and laughed with her teammates.

I will miss her the most
