Y’all Do Know We Have a Women’s Basketball Team…Right?

So we just gonna keep acting like Southern’s women’s basketball team isn’t dominating the court? Oh y’all didn’t know that, huh? Probably because you don’t show up to the women’s games as much as you do the men’s. Well let me be the first to tell you our girls are out there killing the game. I don’t even like sports that much, but the girl’s played with so much aggression and passion that I couldn’t keep my eyes off the court. I was literally on the edge of my seat because I felt like I was watching a movie. Unfortunately, they don’t get the credit they deserve because y’all think it’s cute to only show up and show out when the boy’s play.
Let’s talk about that real quick, shall we? The record for our women’s basketball team is 15 wins and 10 losses. The record for our men’s basketball team is 5 wins and 21 loses. Yes, you read that correctly. Read it again to make sure it sinks in. Our women’s basketball team record is substantially better than that of our men’s yet the amount of support and recognition they get is drastically different. Am I missing something? I must be because why else would y’all be putting our men’s team on a pedestal and leaving our women’s team on the back burner? Is it really so difficult to show up a little earlier to support your Lady Jags? All I’m saying is, I’m gonna really need y’all to keep that same energy you have for the men’s games for the women’s games too.
By the way, this message doesn’t just apply to our women’s basketball team, either. Y’all are apprehensive to support any and all of our women’s sports teams. If they’re not the cheerleaders or the Dancing Dolls then virtually no one seems to care. Just because it’s blatantly obvious during basketball season doesn’t mean I don’t peep y’all’s absence from the other sports too. But, I digress.
There’s only one home game left on March 2 against Alcorn State, and it’s senior night. If supporting the seniors in their last home game isn’t enough motivation to go, then I don’t know what is. What I want for y’all to do is throw on some Southern paraphernalia, grab those streamers y’all kept from football season, and hitchhike a ride from somebody to the mini dome to see our girls in action. Spoiler alert, they do not disappoint.
