Great effort! To many mental mistakes and giving up to many easy baskets because they do get back and defend . Position on defense is a must.

We needed Kamilla Cardosa to take that shot!

Yep a one for 11 shooter would definitely make it. The one being against Tennessee and a bank in no less.

In other news: A&M beat Ole Miss.

So the meltdown begins .

Meltdown already happened. I’m glad we made it a game but the first three quarters were painful to watch. It’s infuriating knowing they can do it and choose not to.

with 6 seconds left tho

Begins? You're about 25 pages late

That’s a strange hypothetical. She’s a public figure. Don’t give a damn what her parents think. She belong on the pine.

Do you have kids? If so, I bet they are rotten.

Gonna take a while to process this. Puckett needs less minutes. Sorry, this style isn’t for her. Her decision making and effort are awful.

I’ve never questioned her effort and usually not her decision making either. In my opinion, she lacks the athleticism necessary for an up tempo game. I think she’s a solid player overall, but this was a spot for a slasher.

 

[Volfan2012]

Ole Miss lost to A&M by two points today glad that wasn't us down there. We did get that one.

 

[Fatdad32]

We didn’t shoot it that well for sure. Love the effort. We had a great look and missed it. Get better-shoot better on to the next game. It’s a tourney sport.

 

[Voluble2]

Well, now we know we can play toe to toe with a top ten team at home.

Sucks to lose, but I bet we beat them next time. The moment just seemed too big for us at the start of the game. The biggest factor in our losing was bad decision making and that can be cleaned up as we get more experience playing together.

Sorry for Sara to bracket her career with a big game winning three as a Freshman and a big game losing three as a Senior. But there is a lot of basketball to be played yet.

 

[Volinnooga]

She wanted the glory. Every interview with her is I, I, I. Me, Me Me. Ready for her to graduate.

This is ridiculous. How old are you?

Thank you seems like yall do too

In perspective we did not lose because ONE player missed a wide open shot that she has been coached to take, we lost because we did not play the entire game like we played the last 4 minutes.

Had we played the entire game like that, we don't need a last second shot to take the lead.

We also lost because we missed 6 FTs. Caught up to us tonight.

Agree really not her type of system to play in, but she is doing her best and has been effective in a few of the games.

Go outside and chop some wood @VolBall09.

Bad defense and not stopping the ball in transition is what cost us this game. Don’t spot them 15 open layups in the first 2 quarters and we win by a dozen.

On my way

absolutely

 

[RespectAPA]

Saw some effort levels that we haven't seen since the C-N game, during that late run. Hopefully we see that in the 1st 2nd and 3rd quarters from now on, now that we've had a team kick us in the teeth.

right?

Yep in a game like this you can point to 20 different plays that could've went another way and made you a winner. We actually played the game we wanted to play just not high enough shooting percentage. Something like 20 plus shots.

The fact that OK gave Sara the Kamilla treatment (leaving her WIDE open) says a lot.
