Yes the angles are terrible. Massengill consistently tries to enter to the post from the top of the key, which never works. Westbrook is always trying to force some kind of chest bullet pass in there which also never works. Whatever happened to ball fake and bounce pass? Or just a nice soft lob over the top? I mean KK and Green have 6” on the girl guarding them...why not put it where she can’t reach the damn ball?

passing to their shoulder is an easy deflection,

Lobs to the high-finger...impossible to prevent

It doesn't look like a team that plays pickup, if they don't know each other tendencies, where they all like receiving the ball, bounce pass, attack the gaps, nope we pick up our dribble then try to pass it inside. wuteva.

Just really poor guard play 1-3! London has been wuteva?

Its too bad Holly doesnt just once call a TO and just go off on each and every player and see how the team responds.

How many years now have we been trying to force that pass inside. Sure can't blame it on Russell anymore still the same terrible play year after year. No one can make a shot outside other than MeMe so guess were stuck and if we lose this game to a team ranked number 76 will be well deserved.

No they did not destroy us..... They are just playing the game the way it is supposed to be played! The last points scored by their heavy 6’ center by screening for the guard and rolling to basket for an easy lay up and our two defenders trying to guard the player with the ball ??? Just stupid ! This team is coached in fundamentals and showing our kids how to play the game. Plain and simple

We are doing this to ourselves... It looks like we don’t know how to play.. throwing the ball away. Just a pitiful exhibition of basketball! Just SAD🤷‍♂️

Shooting is a mindset.
Meme is in the right frame of mind.
That's all it is

If you can do it in practice you can do it in a game.
And vice versa
If you don't do it in practice you won't do it in a game

As bad as the offense has been I don't think allowing 38 points is very good defense. I don't see any improvement in Westbrooks still can't make a free throw and commits numerous turnovers every game just like as a freshman. Massengill has been suddenly horrible as well after being such a terrific player in high school now she can't seem to make the right play for Tennessee.

I am listening to the game and we are playing awful. UAB is leading by 8 at the first half. It appears that we are back to our pass the ball inside offense and throwing the ball away. This team should be taking UAB to the woodshed instead they are taking us. We need more imagination on offense. Also we have this tall team of 5 stars and we are being rebound by a bunch of 2 stars. Holly needs to make some adjustments in the second half. This is ridiculous and should not be happening to a team with the quality of athletes we have on our team. Absolutely no excuse!!!!!

We needed this though.
This team is capable of better
Can the staff get it out of them
Come coach, turn this game around.
Here is where you earn my support.

Just two quarters, not a lost yet. But our guards have to play smarter and better.

The star on this team. No one has emerged yet, and neither has a leader.

I was thinking each player (the TEAM) can be a point of a five point star.

Zaay what happened to her?

Defense comes from proficiency at making shots and finishing layups...When you miss either one, the team on defense has a distinct advantage in what happens...because the shooter is regathering from their drive or shot and the high defender is running the floor for an outlet...Ergo

Hit our shots, make our drives and defense gets easy again

We have to win the third quarter big. I hope we can find a way like the fourth quarter vs Clemson but regardless right now were a terrible team just not playing very smart or consistent.

8 3 pters taken and one person has made 2-2...looks like a leader to me

we will do just that, but the thing I want to see is a prevention move made to try to attempt to stop such a dramatic run

First offensive possession chest past from Westbrook at the top of the key to the post. Guess what? Deflected.
