Game Thread: (20/21) Lady Vols at Missouri

Missouri coach is a very good coach. She just doesn't have the athletes..

See I actually think it’s the opposite. She has some smart players and some very good shooters. They’re talented enough to stay in games with about anyone. They don’t have the coaching to finish down the stretch though.
 
Rae tweaked an ankle a week ago. Wonder if it is the same ankle? Lots of bumps and bruises at this time of the year.
I don’t know that I have ever seen a player make such a jump in one year like Rae. You could obviously see her athletic ability as a freshman and last year she showed flashes as Kellie made her start on the bench to watch the flow and then go into the game. But goodness this year! Wow!!
Definitely all sec.
 
They only play 6-7 players at most!! And hit hard by injuries... Let's see..Green,Marta,Horston,..all would be playing good minutes if healthy!! Good enough partner???
Not really partner cause you do not know how many teams have the same issues but since your handle is Memvol i understand your expertise!

Yep, I've been a big Rae Burrell fan since she came to UT & to play basketball at the Summitt.

Name another SEC team with 4 quality minute players out or injured . And we have a one legged starting point guard. Also got Rae has been banged up for a month. So yes,they are tired and worn out...
 
I have been wondering for the last two games why she takes Key out at critical times and leaves in Kushkituah. I understand this my opinion, but Key is faster, a better rebounder, and a better scorer. Missouri almost got back in the game because Kushkituah could not close out and defend the jump shots. It backfired when Kellie chose to do that at Georgia and was afraid the same thing was going to happen tonight. I realize she is the coach but I was wondering if there was a reason

And Key is a much better free throw shooter, who is want you want late.

Again, I'm really hoping there is some real talent in Kellie's incoming class. The last class leaves a lot to be desired.

Rae will be the only bigtime scorer next year, if Rennia does not return.

One thing about Coach K,,,she uses the first part of the season to see what she has,,,,Striplin, Puckett, Wynn and Miles will get some good opportunities to break into the rotation,,,just as Jordan W, Destiny and Marta did this year....they still get minutes in SEC and EOY play....Out of thoser four, there will come an x-factor,,,maybe two, maybe 3!
My prediction of most rookie minutes:
Striplin
Wynn
Puckett (Unless Puckett hits the ground hitting 3's)
Miles

I think Striplin is physically ready for college ball..
