truth... could be a lot of things but CKJH has said since she stepped on campus they have gotten on her the most and she responded... I fully expect her to do the same thing with this and come out better like she did with the coaches getting on her over the summer in workouts.

My thoughts as well. Hate to see a setback. Love to see a comeback.

The ladies played great the second half. They were hitting the three and Dye and TK were playing lights out. They played great and were very aggressive on both ends of the court. We need to play like this from now on and find a way to clean up those turnovers. Striplin also looked good in the post considering she was playing against a small lineup. She is more athletic than Saunders.

So... Coach Mulkey said they clinched the #2 seed no matter what happens at TN. They would be tied and TN would hold the tie breaker and FL would have 5 losses.

Someone help me figure that out ... Also, i didn't watch but i guess Alexis Morris went out in the 1st qtr. I'm sure she will be back

Based on what I saw tonight I think I’d like to see some more offense/defense substitutions with Miles and Wynn.

Miles brings great intensity defensively, but I was impressed with Kaiya tonight. Her number was called and she played a good game as the backup PG. Has hardly done that since November. Most minutes she has played in a while and she made the most of it. 4 pts and 4 assists and 4 boards was great for her. She was more selective in her shot tonight and made a really sweet move scoring on the reverse over their big girl. The 3 turnovers are forgivable for me. She is aggressive and has not played that many live minutes lately.

They have had lots of players go down and return the next game this season. I thought for sure Newby ruptured her Achilles.

Also, if we win I’m pretty certain we are the #2 seed. Idk what she’s looking at.

I went back through the game thread. I only saw two comments on Key's 18 foot jump shot.

I posted after Keyen was loss for the season that we may be able to make up Keyen's production with Key shooting from the high post. I thought at the time Horston and Key would be hard to defend in a pick and roll game. Now with Jordan's situation, why not use Burrell in the pick and roll.

One of the things that might make Rae more productive is Key and Burrell teaming up for pick and rolls or pick and pops. With Key knocking down her first out side shot in three years...if she can make that shot consistently, she could give Tennessee a much higher ceiling.

She needs to shoot it more! She has great touch. So nice to see her get lots of looks tonight. 14 shot attempts is monster for her. 23, 15 and 6 on a tweaked ankle, that’s my girl!

Disciplinary. Well hell. Possibly a missed class, the cardinal sin for LVs? But now? You do this now, a total own goal when you are needed so, so badly? Not cool at all.

But, she's young, it's been a long, long season and she's contributed a ton. So hopefully she's all fixed and back Sunday full speed.

Disappointing. Going against MSU's backcourt would have been good experience for her...

Key is able to hit that shot. She hasn't shot it too much this season or not nearly enough shots at all for that matter, but we saw it a few times last year. She has a good shooting stroke from about 16 feet in. The shot is high and she reaches in the cookie jar with that great follow through..........
