The foul calling is comical and will ruin the game if it continues like this.

DeShields fouled out. Could have been playing on the winning team tonight had she chosen the right school ;)

Deshields really hurt them tonight. Very selfish player. Built a team around herself getting everyone to go to NC.

We will get to see Davis on this road trip too.

Does Russell always shoot free throws poorly or is she having a bad night? She is going to get to the line a lot so she needs to shoot a high percentage.

We gotta get better. We dont have that killer instinct yet. When we have a team down we gotta crush them.

81-65 win lots to learn from on tape, great athletes at UNC but lacking discipline. Did the LVs play their game at times obviously yes, Izzy was exceptional , so much improved.

good way to start 2-o on the road

DeShields is probably thinking in the back of her mind...dayum I should have signed with Tennessee! hahaha

Man Russell can't buy a shot. Even at the FT line.

Yup, we should have put them away halfway through the second half. But we got the W. So, I'm happy with their play compared to last game.

Man that was painful to watch. Sloppy, sloppy play. There is no smoothness to this offense. It looks like a newborn giraffe trying to walk. Good job by Rel tonight. I like Rel and Carter on the floor together. I knew there would be a ton of fouls tonight. At least it was a win, just have to get better and value the ball more.

I'm about to stab my eyes out if the fouls keep flowing like they are being called.

They ruined what little enjoyment I took from watching a womans sport, and made it 100x worse to watch.

Seems that Nia Moore is in Holly's dog house. Anyone know why?
I read where Dean had spent a lot of time with her this summer. She looked good against C.N. - I know, it was C.N. - but still, not one second tonight with a 15 to 20 point lead?
And with all the fouls being called?

Bump. I'm wondering too. Saw her attempt 4 tonight (I was not always by the game on TV), and saw her miss 4. I don't like her lead up to her shot. Looks awkward.

Didn't get to post during the game but saw it on TV.

Graves's game has been REALLY hurt by these new foul rules. She has no offense and they don't let her play D,,,,,,


imho

Simmons missed a layup early I'm sure just because she was thinking about a charge call. Last year she made almost all her layups, even at hyper speed.

I don't get all the negative vibe on her. Love watching her play, cause it matters to her. Some players ya can't tell that.

Hopefully some players that are playing really awful on offense right now will find their games. We can be a really good team but Burdick, Simmons, and Graves have to play better on offense. Burdick is now 7 for 26 on the season for 27 percent. If these three players can reach the level of Carter, Izzy and Massengale were gonna win a lot of games by 30 plus points. Right now Carter is our best player she has the entire game offense and defense.

She is not in the doghouse I bet she plays a lot in the upcoming home games. I think Holly is gonna use a short rotation for road games.

The short rotation used in the first two road games has been nine players. We only have ten. The tenth being Nia. Not one second on the court in either game.
Most of our fouling problem has been with the bigs. With three minutes to go at UNC it was clear we had the game and still no Nia. Is she injured?
I told some friends I thought she would have a break out year this year.
They be razz'in me now. Was just wondering why?
Go LV!

When she signed I thought it would be her junior year at least before she could contribute much. She is on track, just not as developed or talented as the others.
