Key is playing a little soft as a freshman only thing she needs is to get more physical on offense and take her time on the layups. She rushed her shots against Air Force should've scored 20."The Key" will be if Key can hit a high number of her close in shots, which would draw in the Texas players to stop her, thus opening up our guards and wings for less pressured jump shots....
Lady Vols all the way.....
I'm with you here. Emily has been a pleasant surprise for me so far in that she seems to make more shots than she misses. Obviously she's going to need more time to develop and to get comfortable with the college game, but I sure am liking that she's already someone who, even as a freshman, could possibly give Kellie a few good minutes if there's a situation where we HAVE to have another post step up because of foul trouble or injury.What about Emily?

Even though the schedule has been soft to this point, allowing Kellie to play everyone, I actually didn't expect Emily to play much at all in her freshman year. So when she's come in and cooly hit a few put-backs, I've been giddy for her. Don't sleep on Saunders! She can be our secret weapon.
I doubt Emily plays and expect we will see a lot of seven players Horston, Massengill, Davis, Key, KK, Burrell, and Brown. Could see McCoy if she is well.
Certainly depends on the score of the game if were in a down to the wire type game doubt she gets in. She didn't get in the Notre Dame game but she has made some strides and shown some ability when she has played.I HOPE everyone gets a chance to play in every game — at least a couple of minutes. And yes, I understand that coaches like to — and often NEED to — shorten the bench as the season progresses. But, with as hard as I know, and they know, all of these players are working in practice, giving them all at least a couple of game minutes can also keep morale high.
As a former player who always played the most minutes of anyone else, trust me, it boosts the morale of the high-minutes group to see the lower-minutes players get into the games. Just watch how the bench goes insane when Emily or Jessie scores and you’ll get what I’m saying.
I never expected this to happen... nobody did. I was thinking four wins tops.
