Finally got to see this game.....
Mercy me, that was some ugly basketball, by both teams.
A few of my observations:
The first half, especially the first quarter, may have been the ugliest basketball I have ever seen....Running the offense through KK may not be the best idea...She lost the ball four consecutive times....She is not an offensive threat, at least not this day...
For most of the game, Rae was stuck in second gear and couldn't get going...She had a hard time being the Rae we have been use to seeing...This was not her day.
Key has the worst luck with referees...She gets calls for the tiniest infractions, while her counterparts knock her around with no whistle....If she would at least show some emotion, or anger, at these stupid calls, it might at least intimidate someone....She too often has that beat down look...
Late in the game, Davis dribbled under the basket and had a big passing turnover, instead of taking her patented baseline shot when she was open.....
Based on the way the ball reacted on Davis's final shot, there is a good chance she was fouled and it was never called...Never seen Davis shoot a 3 point air ball before...At Georgia, not likely to get that call....
Horston has had better games, and hopefully will again someday....She shoots those floaters with a nice arc, but rarely scores with them...Her pull up shots are often to flat, with little arc....She too often hits the back of the rim (bricks) on these shots, which proves with a little more arc they would be net rippers. Not sure she "feels the shot."
Next season we will have at least 4 scorers on the floor at all times...Today's squad usually only has 2 scorers on the floor at the same time...If one is having an off day, forget about it.
Today, was just another day closer to getting some real exciting freshmen scorers wearing the Lady Vol Colors...Will be a much better offensive team..
