from now on a bad first half may not be recoverable.

Good win now we can forget about this one and get ready to play basketball Monday. We finally got something going in that second half.

Nothing personal Bryan. I didn't see the play you may have been right. It's just that these game threads are choked with posts complaining about the refs to no good purpose. The refs are equally as bad on both teams but no one keeps track of how many calls go the LV way.

I agree, and nothing personal was taken. I didn't have a problem with the refs in this game, just didn't agree with the call on that play because it was called a charge and the defender was still moving. Yeah, some games the refs are a whole lot worse than they are in other games.

they did play better with CHW standing up lol

Russell is named the POG,she did play well in the 2nd half

Well, they did have a 2 week layoff, maybe they will get off to a better start from here on out.

 

[Volfan2012]

They need to remember three things in every game. Do not quick shoot the basketball plenty of time to get an outside shot. Reverse the ball try to get it inside to a post. Really hard pressure on the ball on defense we never put enough pressure on the person with the ball. Your gonna give up shots just make sure it is their worst shooters.

i think you are right on the lay off

 

[Volfan2012]

If you watch enough WCBB basketball one thing you will learn quickly the Refs are really bad overall. They do not know a charge from a block seldom get the call right. They will call touch fouls on the perimeter and let a punch in the nose go inside. I don't know why WCBB has such poor Refs but they are no where near the quality of the men's game.

it is amazing Volfan the SEc has some poor refs for the womens game

^^^^ This ^^^. Next game we can't come out & go up by 9 pts then get cold & not hit our shots. The other team will smell blood in the water & swarm us like bees.

Elzy is on now

 

[governmentmule]

saying that Carters defense was what got them going in the 2nd half

hmmm think they will need badminton rackets ?

Elzy's coaching did look kinda lost & not sure what was what when the game first started. I wonder if they all flipped a coin to see who would be in Holly's coaching shoes.

If it's allowed.... we need all the help to stay alive so we can beat UConn.

 

[governmentmule]

wow 22% shooting from the field for the first half

Nia did get 7 mins of playing time today gule lol

 

[governmentmule]

damn the sports animal seems to be running a ton of commercials

 

[Convoluted]

Much better second half than the first. They had me nervous for a minute there.

I heard Holly gave the best halftime speech ever delivered while seated on the porcelain throne.

 

[governmentmule]

well hell,no interview from the players lol TV must have em tied up

hopefully she was sitting instead of looking in it :crazy:

Not a good start to the tournament. Tennessee won because they were taller and "out-athleted" their opponent. That won't work in their next game and beyond. They need to play basketball, not street ball, if they want to get back to the FF. Unbelievable how many layups they missed....

 

[governmentmule]

they looked rusty in the first half to me Amb,they will play Monday night,we will see if it is rust or not

They need consistency. Right now, only Harrison is bringing it every game. They need some consistency out of their backcourt...otherwise, the minute Tennessee runs into a team with a post game to contain Harrison, then they will lose big.

 

[zaqhhh]

Well a lot of it was missed layups (sort of unlucky) and turnovers (dumb decisions)
I am not too worried
