To add I think she can handle the ball as well as any point guard we have. She also plays a lot more intelligent game than most of them. She is rather small but certainly more athletic than Rennie. She may eventually get some playing time here she is a lot like Tess will develop her game she is a worker.Disagree, more athletic and much better ball handler than Jesse...

if my quick figuring is right,,,@Orange Maniac is the closest
Was by far the closest prediction other than Orange Maniac, I was happy our rankings stayed the same. I knew we'd lose a little in SOS went to five but that wasn't to bad. We'll make that up quickly with some tough games we got coming up.70-62 wasn't my prediction, I just posted Massey's.
After this win we stayed in the same spot in Massey ratings (#25) and the NET (#15), moved up one in the RPI (to #16), and dropped 4 spots in Her Hoop Stats (to #13).
Sometimes being willing to work can bring about adequate improvement, but honestly not often, and not at this level. So that's why it's fun to watch when it happens. I'm not ashamed I was skeptical bc it is rare, and I gladly admit I was wrong.Anyone remember when so many on here were saying Tess was a bad scholarship offer. That she could not create her own shot. I even was critical of her defense. Just shows what a player that is willing to work can do. 9 steals in the last two games. 8 threes. Took a player off the dribble for a layup in both of the last two games. She is working and getting better.
Not to far on a limb already stated she is playing two more after this season. Said she considered last year her freshman year because of covid severely restricted what she could do as a player.Sometimes being willing to work can bring about adequate improvement, but honestly not often, and not at this level.

Am I correct that Tess is the last player with a covid year? I'm going to go out on a limb and say she'll be around for 2 more.
there is a direct correlation between unforced turnovers and games like this:

Yes it was so late last night to play a game I was committing a few turnovers watching it. Like I said before the game just hope we could get out of there with a win. We did. I am happy.there is a direct correlation between unforced turnovers and games like this:

Of course there is a lot of negative side in it. The positive side is committing 20 turnovers, missing 15 to 20 easy shots, allowing them six threes, and 14 free throws and still winning by 12. Were home for the next game and I am feeling a powerful performance and a big win over Georgia.there is a direct correlation between unforced turnovers and games like this:

She is also showing a lot of leadership and has more court awareness than most.Anyone remember when so many on here were saying Tess was a bad scholarship offer.

Especially the starting lineup , minus Cluckett.UT could beat any SEC team on any given night, with Jax and Jordy, two top 5 picks likely, no team is safe from UT. A lot of top end talent on your team….,UT was within 7 of Stanford which is considered a best in class team, LV’s can play with anyone as long as Jax and Jordy are in the lineup.
Coach Kellie did not sound too pleased with the result and lack of urgency by our team against A&M in her press conference. I don’t blame her. She should be infuriated with them.
It was 14 to 16 their favor but the plus 11 offensive rebounds more than made up for it. The two big stats I hate are their 6 threes and their 14 trips to the foul line. We only got to the line 10 times and only 3 threes. Teams burning us on the three and getting to the line keeps them close in to many games. Overall just win the game as this game has nothing to do with the next. I hear some people on another site saying how because of this game we will get killed by some other teams which if we play this way might be true. No reason to believe we'll play this way unless it is another midnight game.I wonder what the points of TOs stat looks like. I think the LVs got more transition buckets of their 15 takeaways than TA&M from from their 20. LVs did a great job in hustling back in transition. Both Franklin and Jackson got their pockets picked and then made defensive plays to stop a transition score.
But, Texas A&M's abysmal shooting certainly aided in the LV cause.
The 49 to 25 advantage in rebounds also helps compensate for TOs.
Someone can confirm this but didn’t Tess go out of state to work on conditioning etc. with a LVFL? Was it with Conklin? Did another teammate go with her?Sometimes being willing to work can bring about adequate improvement, but honestly not often, and not at this level. So that's why it's fun to watch when it happens.

I have never been more anxious for a game to end than this one. When it got down to six all I could think about is losing this game would almost totally destroy the season and all the ground we had made up in the last three weeks. We still have a long way to go to where I want us to be in the tourney and this game was really irritating me that we wouldn't have that chance. We still do since we won, but when are we going to play the way Coach Harper is wanting it is time.I think Kellie was just anxious to get out of there. They had to bus back to Houston then fly home from there very late last night. Explains the 2.5 min press op. Maria was just getting warmed up!
I listened to her Brian Rice interview and KJH wasn't too worked up.
