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.

Last season I thought it did. This season I don’t notice it at all. Last season she was prone to being beat off the bounce because her lateral movement was limited. She is moving way better on both ends this year. I think our new strength and conditioning coach has been great. The team seems to be in much better shape.

So i want to say a couple things about Kellie:

1. I apologize to TV kellie as i yelled at you to get on the officials and you did just that!

2. How about her faith in Brooklynn and Sara in those closing minutes and Brooklynn handled the ball very well while sara made smart passes!

3. She didn't over do Rae playing. I have a feeling some coaches would have a her play in the closing minutes and Kellie did not. That actually is a sign of her being a good coach! She didn't try and put the win before the player.

Spot on as usual!

I will take 5 players in Double figures rather than going to the same player too many times. Yes we had the advantage, but it is tough to guard us when you don't know who might go off for 10-15 points at any time.

Must have only jumped at the UT money. Our current assistants seem much more engaged. I thought Jennifer was a bit out of her league on recruiting at this level as well.

Coach McCorvey and Coach Sam have both been really visible on the recruiting trail and seem active on social media promoting the program. Something I never saw from Goldwire or Sullivan.

Joy has really done a job making Key better. She is in control of her emotions and knows how to rise up and make plays when they are needed.

Our 4th quarter comebacks this season have been on the back of Tamari’s defense. She knows how to elevate her game when it’s crunch time now. She can hit that next level. Next step for her is making that next level her normal for 40 minutes.

Something I’m confident she can do by the end of her senior year. Tamari has all the potential in the world to be a consistent 20 and 10 player. Especially if that elbow jumper keeps coming along.

Joy developed Kiah Gillsepie at Florida State and had an influence on Naz Hillman at Michigan. Both were named to all American teams. She seems to have a pretty good handle on coaching the Post!

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.

kelly bring darby along but she sat her when she could not handle screen. would like to see tenn screen for open threes. does matter if its darby, puckett,walker, rae, miles,horston

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.

The LVs will continue getting to the FT line. And they need to raise their FT percentage to 75% or more to avoid unnecessary close games. Great game today, nevertheless. GBO.
