That’s a questionable coaching decision by K. Harper. This team needs Rae Burrell to make a run. She’s definitely in a slump but taking her out the starting lineup doesn’t do much to help this team.

Yes. It was affecting team chemistry and anyone who couldn’t notice wasn’t watching close enough. Her role has changed, unfortunately for her. But we were doing fine without her in the starting line up. Have her come off the bench… maybe take some of the pressure off her to perform like she’s a 1 man team.

I watched very closely and know if she hadn’t gone for 21 against Arkansas then Tenn would have 3 consecutive losses. Can’t put those all on Burrell or any one player.. it’s been a combination of factors. To bring her off the bench now, doesn’t improve the team at all. I’m sure most winning coaches.. and knowledgeable fans in most places would equally prefer one of the three best players on the team coming off an injury to play through a slump… we’ll see today.

It’s not always about talent. Sometimes there’s a huge benefit in coming off the bench if it slows the game down for Rae - allowing her to see the pace, defensive sets, and offensive opportunities before coming in. Could be a huge advantage for her and the team (if it works).

Good defense on ONO so far but amazing to me that ONO is not better than she is at this point in her career.

Nice early play by Key. Going to need more than bricks from Darby and Horston to win today.
