They kept setting that screen ( moving or not) at the top of the key for her we will see that again and we have to handle it better and not lose the shooter or hot hand

Was very similar to the play Virginia Tech ran over and over for Sheppard. We didn’t guard it well at all in that game either.

Jordy legs were still weak from sickness. Not her usual lift. This whole season and having opportunity to go to final 4 comes down to getting better offensive production. Less turnovers and little better perimeter shooting including FT. Defense and Rebounding Elite. In CHRIST Alone

Arkansas shot 76 shots and only had 6 total assists. That has to be close to an all time record. That's definitely not playing team defense. Kudos for the road win Lady Vols!!

Their chemistry this season is terrible. I usually like watching Mike Neighbors teams but they aren’t fun to watch this season. Not sure who or what is the issue but they aren’t clicking as a group and you can tell. Seems to be a huge disconnect between their perimeter players and interior players as well.

No inside out play whatsoever. He’s been very agitated in several games like he was today. Normally he’s pretty calm and collected. Doesn’t seem like he’s having fun coaching this group.

Darby has helped us in some games this season, but her defense on Ramirez in the first half was hard to watch. Wynn also gave up some layups to Daniels on blow bys. For me I like the five we had in there in the fourth down the stretch. Miles can guard and handle the ball. Walker is so much better two guard than point guard. Jordan at the three is her best position. Key and Puckett work well together inside.

Our turnovers didn’t frustrate me as much as usual today because so many were due to uncalled fouls or offensive fouls. Numerous, numerous times the ball “came loose” from our post players hands after their elbows were hooked going to the basket.

I know I need to give it up, but we probably could have shot 50 free throws today.

No doubt Tess struggled defensively in this game. When we play teams that play 4 out with guards it is not her game. I do love the move to bring her in at 5 at the end of 3rd to take big out of middle giving Jordy 2 FT. In CHRIST Alone

Also genuinely curious why people think Jordan Walker’s knee brace prohibits her mobility. I saw so much talk about that at the beginning of the season. She moves laterally as good anyone, if not the best, on the team. I’ve yet to see how that has held her back this year.

We hit 64 percent from the line today about the best were going to get until Burrell gets back. She missed two today which kind of shocked me . but she has been out two months.

No one had a terrible day at the line. Actually was one of our better FT games. If Rae gets settled back in, our overall will go up, as you say.
