One area of their game they need to work on is attacking the press. They should be able to score a lot of points if they would just attack it.

THIS!!!! As much as Holly preaches they want to run....I just don't see why they don't make quicker passes and push the ball

A win is a win, but SMH at our play.
Unforced TO's.
Missed layups.
Terrible defense in the paint.
Not boxing out...we got our ***** handed to us on the boards.

Hopefully we got all that stuff out of our system before Monday.

The girls should have won by 25 points if they were sharp but it's getting to where we have to flip a coin to see which team shows up to play from game to game.

Very true. Izzy struggled a bit...she missed out on a lot of points. Reynolds was awesome tonight, as was carter..burdick hit some good shots..hope the freshman get over the funk they are in

The sec as a whole is very competitive this year, with the exception of probably Alabama. Doesn't look like any easy wins this season.

Not having Russell is a killer--just our (bad) luck. With her at the 5, Izzy could play the 4, her natural position, with Burdick at the other forward, and Carter, Reynolds and Massengale holding down the guard spots. Bring Graves off the bench and maybe give her more or less minutes depending on the opponent. Our half-court offense would be so much better with Russell. Now, she'll be back next year and Izzy, Burdick and Mass will be gone. We will not have a very good front line next year.

Maybe the nd game we come out of our away game shooting funk. Nd doesn't have a great defense, so we should get the looks. Turner worries me..she is a beast on the boards and can score at will..then ya gotta deal with Lloyd. We going to have our hands full with the Irish

Notre Dame scored 89 tonight against UNC. I thought ND was a little down this year but they move the ball and can shoot--they don't spend half the game stumbling around and making dumb decisions like our players. When are Izzy and Graves going to get the fact that you don't pass up an open 8 foot jumper and instead try to dribble closer to the basket, in traffic, which usually results in a blocked shot, bad miss or turnover? You cannot dribble the ball toward the basket from 8 feet away--not with front court defenders near you. And yet they still try to do this. Burdick and Carter know how to catch, go up and shoot a basketball--no dribble. Fundamental. Will be interesting to see how we stack up against a good, fundamentally sound team like ND. Fundamental soundless is not exactly our forte, alas. Sometimes we are, a lot of times we are not. Our performances should not vary so wildly--not with a veteran team.

About the time I posted this, she went in the game, so I doubt it now.

What I don't understand is if holly only plans on playing Dunbar a few seconds a game, why didn't she just redshirt her at the start of the season?? Kind of a wasted year for her

That's because Holly doesn't know what she's doing as a coach....amiright? This was written in Blue Font of course.
