i do have to say we need Russell at the point guard position tonight

How can Russell be rated the number one player in her recruiting class and play like this after 2 years of coaching. Sorry, all of our 5* are busts. IMO.

Every time a guard brings the ball down and dribbles around without getting the ball to DD or Graves she should be pulled.

Diamond and Graves look tired. The rest of the players can't play well enough to win this game for us. 14 offensive rebounds for Mississippi State and 5 three pointers. We have to stop both in the second half.

Holly's back. Didn't think she could go 3 games a row running/transition. If she wants to win she will change in the second half.

Watch the offense. Second quarter was running high/low double post with 3 on the perimeter. Only DD can drive the ball. They stand around and look, don't block out, not effectively screening if at all, shooting in desperation late in the clock. Same old same old.

Holly, lets them do it. She then subs for more of the same. She needs to play Russell or Graves - not both at the same time. She needs 4 on the outside running cuts off screens. They need to be working harder to get the shot off quicker. After each successful possession - zone press. After each possession when not scoring, pressure the ball. Holly is going to have to get some runners in the game or bring the whip out down the backstretch.

Run and gun state's bench ain't that deep. Poor shooting thus far. We're getting mugged no calls. Play half court ball we lose. C'mon ladies!

Ok, how is it possible to play so well last game, and then look so horrid so far this game ?
7 points in a quarter ? 9 of 29 in fga for the half. They truly are a Jekyll and Hyde team.

DD and Bashaara are going to have to find ways to win this game. They're not getting any help.

It's amazing how Uconn's players are never busts... I think it has more to do with who's coaching them, and if not and they are busts, it still falls on the coaches since they recruited them.

Just awful half court offense. Dribble for 20 secs then trying to run the offense? Way too much dribbling around

Miss St really doesn't have to play defense because we put no pressure on them with our offense.

I have seen so many times Russell is open and calling for the ball, but whoever has the ball just holds onto it and tries to take it inside at the last second and miss or turn it over. Give the big girl the ball and let her work! Use your center!

Holly and the coaches probably don't see it to fix it.

MSU's coaches must be happy. The LSU/Bama LVs showed up tonight instead of the UGA/aTm LVs.
