OK just get back to what we were doing at first. Pound inside. Key/Green must stay on the floor and we'll be fine. Maybe a little too much subbing hurt our offensive flow which was good at first.

Their entire run was manufactured by the officials. Absolutely not allowing our posts to play. Very similar to the issues SC had against MIZZOU.


What’s the point of having a size advantage if your players are going to be constantly punished for it? This has been an issue for years and it has to be addressed. The way the WNBA games are officiated is so much more appropriate. At this level if you’re over 6’3” you are absolutely not allowed to post up physically without being mugged and then called for an offensive foul. Pisses me off watching it.

We have to deny Ramirez the ball. She’s the only player hurting us. Why in the he** we have Tess guarding her I’ll never understand. Put Miles on her and make her uncomfortable.

Meh, it is the douchebag refs which are the problem. Coaches can whine all they like, and if it is effective it is their duty to do so.

It is the ref's fault for listening to it or not being competent at their jobs. Typical women's basketball, bottom of the barrel officiating.

I would be really unhappy with our defense. I would be totally unhappy with the way the game has been called. I would not let Darby try to guard Ramirez don't understand that at all. I think were low energy today and the Refs are making a huge difference looks like they are trying to make the whining Arkansas coach happy.

some things to to note, why is Darby guarding Ramirez? We need someone a little faster to guard her.

Too many substitutions in my opinion. Our team was gelling real well in the stretches we were scoring, and then the offensive players scoring were taken out.

There will be no easy wins on the road in the SEC. We did not do ourselves any favors in that first half. Too many long jumpers. And too many shots early in the shot clock. Against a team that can score at Arkansas’ pace the last thing we want to do is quick shoot the ball.

Not getting many oboards because the officials are allowing them to grab and hold as much as they please really. Going to have to adjust. We need some second chance points and we have to get some stops. Particularly on Ramirez. Tamari has to show when she comes around that screen. Send a couple of those to half court.
