I’m not up for bench experimentation right now. Would much rather just put this one to bed.

Get Rennia and Suarez out before we lose the game

 

[ttharp]

Marta and Rennie don’t need to be in together unless we’re up 40.

Again Suarez thinking this is Europe with the flat foot turn around shot that was blocked. I don’t get it.

I know they had a lead but she and Rennie together is really something. You do that in the last two minutes of a decided game.

We look like we are losing.

 

[VolBall09]

Whyyyyy sub like that? Why?

Now is not the time IMO. This game is very important in terms of our seeding.

 

[Vols2015]

We can’t hit our free throws.

You don’t do that until the game is out of reach.

So they say. Rest for her rotation would be a better reason. Two of those kids cannot help in a competitive game.

Poor 2nd quarter,

 

[Orange Maniac]

How come every 3 ball shooter we recruit can’t hit a 3 if their life depended on it. It just boggles my mind.

 

[Decker Moss]

Without the subbing we would be up by over 20.

 

[volfan__18]

the subbing in that quarter was bad. rlly bad

 

[VolBall09]

Poor 2nd quarter,

Subs. It was the most beautiful basketball we’ve played all season until we went to the bench.

 

[VolBall09]

Need to get Burrell going if we can. Think that ankle is bothering her shot a bit. Looks a little off balance.

 

[Rickster]

You don’t do that until the game is out of reach.

They were up 20 and it was a perfect time. Try not to be so negative, you and those around you will feel better.

 

[Twinsbornoncampus]

Now we in a close game. Wholesale subs is not something we can do. Suarez clearly should have remained on the bench I hope that I am wrong but I don’t see it. We are not consistent enough with our effort to sub so deep in the bench in the first half. Maybe in late third qtr. or early 4th qtr. Not with enough time for them to come back. We are a team that loses focus much to easy to make subs like that in the 1st half.

 

[Volfan2012]

Really not a good idea not to bury a team with your starters probably could've had a 20 point lead going to the locker room only 10. Now we need to come out with the starters and have a big third quarter if for some reason they were to happen to win the quarter then were working in the fourth.

Saving those legs!!!

 

[bobkitten]

Quite a fall off there for the end of the quarter! I wish we’d wait and experiment at the end of the game!

 

[Decker Moss]

You don’t do that until the game is out of reach.

It just kills the flow of the game and can throw the starters off their groove. Marta needs to get healthy before she gets on the court. She is not giving us anything positive while she is in the floor.

 

[RAVOL]

Instead of talking about subbing how about the bad half from Rae and 0-4 free throws from kasi. It is not just the subs that failed. Good thing Key has all 5 fouls in second half coach milked that and I believe you will see only 6 players mostly in second half. In CHRIST Alone

Now we in a close game. Wholesale subs is not something we can do. Suarez clearly should have remained on the bench I hope that I am wrong but I don’t see it. We are not consistent enough with our effort to sub so deep in the bench in the first half. May clar it in late third qtr.

She is just so hampered vertically she can’t get it done. She can’t get any lift on her injured side. Hopefully she’ll heal because she could be great. She was rebounding really well until this as well.

 

[Rickster]

I'm not sure fan stress level is an important subbing factor . Player stress level is.
