Key needs to develop a shot from just outside the key. When your offense only takes place in the paint, it is easy to come up with a plan to clog you under the rim. Boston can hurt you in the paint on out to the three point line. Staiti can also hurt you from the same distance. Right now Key is basically a one trick pony on offense. She needs to expand her offense. She also needs to keep the ball up high and the ladies need to feed her up high. She also needs to work on her hands be cause she gets a lot of balls knocked or taken away from her.

I am not too concerned about Rae she just had a bad game. I believe she will be okay going forward.

I wonder if they have a Juggs machine. Catching a football makes catching a basketball easy….focus.

No, he has said they have improved. Whether it is enough to beat a UConn team on their home court is something the jury is still out on. It helps that this UConn edition is depleted, but we are out Green and Marta, and Rae is not all the way back yet.

Before Green went down, and before (I’m only guessing) Rae’s confidence took a hit in the aftermath of The Aubacle (Auburn Debacle), I’d have felt pretty good about the Lady Vols getting the win in Hartford.

But right this minute I’m 50/50.

We did come within a hair’s width of beating them last year. If not for Bueckers’ last- second shot we nearly got ‘em.

I knew this year that Green would be down there taking charges and going up STRONG against their posts. I had thought Rae was going to be back strong.

Tonight will reveal everything. As Amb mentioned, Arky is a good game to have before CT, because if Tennessee can somehow manage to guard the outstanding 3-pt shooters the Hogs have, they can guard CT shooters.

No one on this board thought 18-1 was realistic back in October.

I agree with that, but it is not what we are discussing.

You used a relative comparison "just as." It is not "just as" realistic by any standard that we can win the SEC having to beat SC as it would be if we did not have to beat them. If you can't admit that then you aren't arguing in good faith and I am wasting my time.

Better ball movement from us but Key can't bring the ball down on that turnaround.

If we leave them open on three like that it will be a long night.

Can't collapse and leave the 3 pt shooters open like that.

We collapse for rebounds and leave them open outside. Go outside and they drive by us.

They are absolutely schooling us right now.

They held Horston on that last turnover. One girl held her and the other stripped her.

It was a highway robbery.

Key has got to get out in the 3 ball and attempt to block! She’s had 2 different posts now shoot and score 3’s on her. Unacceptable defense so far.

Refs have neutered her. She isn't closing to avoid fouls, while they climb all over her like a jungle gym on the other end.

Letthem keep throwing up low percentage shots. Our down low play will outlast their 1-3 1/2 3p made

If they are going to put three people on Key then use her to screen and clear out the lane for others.

What is going on with our defense right now? Way too many open 3 point shots!

Our defense is designed to give those up the way we collapse for rebounds, switch and help on defense. We have to change our defense or they will get them all night.
