I know some posters have wondered how losing Green could have such a negative effect. Some have asked if it's psychological. Others have wondered why 7 points and 3 rebounds over 14 minutes can't be easily made up.

In my opinion, Green's loss was a double gut punch. She is the oldest team member. In my observations of her (granted from a far) she is very calm, collected and mature. Her voice as a player on the floor (when the other team is making a run) is clearly missed
She lost all of last year minus 4 games due to injury and now losing another year is maddening. That in it's self is frustrating to LV fans as well as players.

Green's production of 7 points and 3 rebounds are her average for the year. In the last few SEC games, those numbers do not tell the whole story. When Key played her self into foul trouble or fatigue and needed a break, Green came into the game on a mission. How many times did she get a put back and an-one at a critical juncture in the game. Her presence always stopped an opposing teams run or started one for the LVs.

LVs must play better, especially Burrell and Key. Keyen Green's efforts before injury (for two years) deserve it.

… but as others have said, she didn’t die though. Lol. She was only playing 13 mins a game which means 27 minutes a game she was “leading from the bench.” She’s still on the bench, post injury, so why can’t she still “lead?” I’m not saying her injury wasn’t significant but in no scenario should we brush off what’s happened recently, and attribute it only to her loss.

I just do not understand the turnovers .....most are being made tonite by veteran players ....just careless passes or stealing right out of their hands ......these are unacceptable if you expect to win.

Things that must be improved:
1. Passing - lazy and not valuing each possession. Too much dribbling and not enough ball movement.
2. Motion offense and spacing - they are not moving when they don't have the ball, just standing around.
3. Switching on the picks. You have to either switch or get around the block!
4. Need to pick and roll. I don't see Key cutting to the basket very much, or others for that matter.

I love the LVs, but WTH???? And yes for you sympathizers, I did coach WBB...
