I'll just say it I put them getting back like this on Harper. To many different lineups we need the main players in there. Really don't know why we think we have to get every player playing time. We need to win the game.

Because our second line needs game experience to improve. Because it is a long season and we don’t want to wear our starters out or expose them to injury more than necessary. Because we want to reward kids working hard in practice. Because this is in essence a home game for Kaiya. Because we don’t want kids transferring that will be important for us next year.

Yes but you should try that at home more than the road cause when we had Wynn, Walker, and Powell in there together the lead went from 21 to 8.

I agree with you both. I think by just putting in Tess for walker or Powell when the lead was dwindling does not allow the driving lane to collapse as it did. We have to keep a shooter on the floor for us to be at our best. Until Sara gets her stroke back that leaves Tess (who has really stepped up her D) and Justine who stays ready.

If Wynn wants to play she is going to need to learn how to shoot the ball. That is what it is going to take.

Kaiya is improving. When she can perfect a little mid-range jumper and hit her layups and free throws consistently, she's goibg to be valuable.

Likewise, BK should be putting up lots if extra shots. Her pesky defense was a spark last year; just needs to make sure to make opponents pay for leaving her open.

Sara's going to be okay. She's highly intelligent and a great competitor. And her teammates are trying to put her in positions to have success.

You probably need to get over the Time Out thing. Kellie has her theory on when to use them and she sticks too it.

It wasn't that significant today--but her timeout theory (if one can call it that) is a bad one. It's the same bad timeout theory that Warlick had--which was to not call a timeout when the opponent was on a scoring streak. There's a reason practically every BB coach in America as been calling timeouts to break an opponent's momentum for 100 years.

Not so much anymore. Lots of coaches, including Rick Barnes, don't call them to break a run anymore. I'm sure there's some analytic somewhere that says it's not actually that effective in stopping runs. It's kind of a coaching fad these days not to call them. Playing thru is what they call it.

Got to 05-06 and gave up. We have not started 4-0 and 80+ in at least that long.

This team can really score the basketball. Because of our record we are coming into games and teams think they can play with us. We are getting their best shot but they just cannot defend us.

We have played several quality defensive teams already and have made their defense look average to poor. Bama called several timeouts to address their defense but they simply couldn’t guard us.

I posted under the Miss State thread by mistake that I thought the most encouraging thing today was the passing and patience to find the open person which turned into layups or 3 pointers or easy jumpers.They truly looked coordinated and unselfish on the offensive end.....looked like a team which is beginning to feel the chemistry bubbling together and becoming cohesive.Liked the rebounding also on both ends of the court but especially on offensive end ...they had multiple putbacks today especially Jackson who could not buy a basket in the 1st quarter.The long and short is this is beginning to look like a TEAM especially on offensive end .....now have to tighten up on defensive end a bit.

Missed what looked like a routine win, but Facebook is blowing up and all the fans are in-fighting. Did something dramatic happen in the game?

Nope. Vandy was holding alot and at one pt one of their players hooked Powell around the neck going for a loose ball then gave it that extra sling and knocked her over. Play got reviewed for flagrant, looked flagrant, but nothing was called. Other than that nothing.

You talking about Lady Vols facebook?
