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

Have the lady cold ever set a good screen? Conversely, have they ever not been effectively screened off a screen?

But seriously, every screen seems to be moving. Should they be taught to hit the moving screen to one draw an offensive foul and 2 to show a little physicality?
 
Some of them they hit were just ridiculous. We caught them at a bad time. Troup hitting a step back, fade away 3 over Kasi is basically a once in a lifetime shot for her. 🙄
They keep hitting them like they did against Florida we r in serious trouble. Girls need to fight thru that screen, they go around it. Mizz will shoot .
 
Someone tried to argue with me that we will miss her next year. I just don’t see what she gives us that Keyen Green couldn’t do better next year if she’s fully recovered.

Green didn't impress me much in what little I saw. Not tall, not a lot of bounce or athleticism. Maybe she hadn't settled in yet.

This is the first year KK has even been in good enough shape to run up and down the court. She has improved a lot, but still has bad spells sometimes where she is a liability. She battles and is not afraid of contact though so she gets credit for that.

S&C seems a lot better all around this year. And we are seeing player development for the first time since Pat was here. That would bode well if we were still bringing in the same level of talent --- which we are not thus far under Kellie.

Interesting half. This team isn’t playing like they want a top-four seed in the SEC tourney.

If they wanted that seed they would not have been low energy in the last game. They really can't afford to lose this game for rebuilding purposes. Finishing middle of the pack in the SEC again would show a real lack of progress.

This is perfectly winnable and they need to get out there and do it.

Announcer was right about Rennie.

When I said she was shooting 20% I looked at it wrong. That was her overall percentage. She was 1/12 for threes and has missed two of them in this game.

Our three pt specialists are never special.
 
Rae Burrell's career high is 26 points. I think that one's going down. Her career high on 3PM is 6; that one may go down too at this rate.
 
Key so far behind two plays she might as well have stayed at the mid-court stripe and wait to see which way they went. Would have saved her some energy, which she seems to need right now.
 
If they’re gonna shoot it this well there isn’t much we can do. It’s not just one player that’s not it’s 4/5 at all times. They couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn to start SEC play but they have found their stroke. They look like Arkansas right now. Sheesh.
 
We are going to have to go with another guard because our bigs are late out to the 3 pt line every time and are giving us nothing under the basket.

Go with the small lineup and let Key clean up under the basket. Play her inside and 4 outside.
