Arkansas on pace for 84 points which would put them right on average for their last 4 games. Defense is going to have to step up quick. Poor offensive shot selection is also hurting us right now.

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.

Yes we do have to change it! It’s so obvious what Arkansas is doing, they drive to the paint, kick out for 3. We are totally not closing in on the 3 point shooters! They also love setting that screen for Ramirez and Daniels. It’s not rocket science, it’s plain as day what they’re doing, and we aren’t adjusting.

Watching your game vs Arky. Why doesn't Key ever look to score? I don't think she had 1 shot attempt in that 1st quarter.

Rae was the only one fighting over the screen, but she turns it over so much we can't leave her out there.

Wish our girls could ball handle like our opponents always do. Our girls dribble off the feet. Dribble into double teams. Force lots of bad passes and shots. Our opponents get som many lanes to the basket way to often.

Usually it is because they grab her when she makes a move so she kicks it back out instead of getting fouled with no call. Very gunshy about getting an offensive foul too.

It felt like there were three or four times where the Arkansas defense left lanes to the basket wide open for drives, and we either didn't see or didn't want to take them. Hope some of those turn into easy layups in later periods.

Our defense is terrible tonight. We aren't staying in front of anyone.

And we are getting no offensive rebounds at all.

Arkansas starting to pull away. We will leave Key on the bench until down 12 or so, and it will be too late.

edit. She’s in. Let’s close the gap
