If we win two I'll get back to you otherwise it is not happening. All the other teams are playing too some will lose games so you can move up
We're not that far down now but of course losing either of next two probably makes us a six

Right. You have to look at the big picture. Although it seems unlikely that we will get to host, several teams that are also possible 4 and 5 seeds keep losing as well. Kansas State, for example, has lost 3 games recently. There were times during the year that it looked extremely bleak that the UT football team would get into the playoffs, but they did. All kinds of teams in every sport lose when the stakes are high at the end of the year. You never know until all the games have been played.

I'm saying our deep defender has been putting herself in no man's land. Better to force the ball to the receiver of your choice, and force the 2nd pass to the player most within range of our next deepest defender. More passes, more chances of an error.

I think you answered your own question: why would the coaches repeat what hasn't worked? The only logical reason is because the players haven't done it as designed. The coach who knows this best wasn't seeing a failure of concept, but of execution. IMHO

Exactly!! We are running a run and jump man to man press. Need to run a dedicated 1-2-1-1 and run it right. It works. Pat Summit ran it pretty well back in the day!

B) We mostly have one in the post and other teams are attacking the post and employing a weakside cutter for a dish-option...one post can not cover two players

and E) can't say much more, but I can say the obvious: we have many attacking the paint into a 1 on 2-3 situation and not looking for a kick-out pass to an open shooter....instead opting to force a late in the clock heave

And except for Cooper and every now and then Ruby,,, no one else has a midrange game

For next year do you think Civil or Prawl have a mid-range?

I’m no guru but my answer is E, I think this team is missing that one go to player, as an example I’ll use Rickea. This is the type of supporting cast Rickea needed around her to compete for a Championship. I do have other things to say but I’ll leave it at that.

Wouldn’t you love to have seen Rickea give this a shot!

Maybe not as good as the SEC's top 4, but every bit as good as the rest of the league. So you don't think the 5 seeds(that's us as a #4 and that's in doubt) wouldn't be as good as 5-9 in the SEC? If we're below a 5 seed then your playing a 2 or 3 to make S16 and they are as good as our top 4 . What's your take on that?

I think the style and physicality of the SEC is unique and much more difficult than most other conferences,,,no matter what their seeds are
