This team’s body language reads as very stressed and a little checked out. A lot of slumped shoulders and hesitation. I’m sure those two big game losses are weighing them down. And I’m sure the negativity around them has been deafening. The staff has to free their minds up and fast. Too much weight, both perceived and real, on their shoulders right now.

Justine has to grab a shot when she can because they will never get it to her when she’s open. She played good defense during her time in the floor. Run an offense to get her and Darby open. I don’t know what we are running but it looks like back yard pick up ball.

I cannot imagine where the substitution pattern was dreamed up. They need to personally get in the gym and practice shooting. Jordan W. Does seem to have a nose for the ball. She picks up a lot of rebounds and she is one of the smallest on the team.

Kellie is rotating players in and out so quickly how do the ladies get into the flow of the game?
Hey, Kellie don't forget to throw Miles in also.

She’s desperate and trying to find anyone who can contribute meaningful minutes. The problem is we have mid major talent outside of Jackson and Horston. I don’t want to fault her for trying, bc I’ve been on the “give some players a chance” train for a while, but man, If this is all we have then next year is going to be a disaster.

Miss…8-31. UT. 11-36. 3ts..1-7 to our 2-11. Even on rebounds 24-25. Turnovers 6-5. We are winning in the paint 16-8. We have 6PFs to their 5PFs. The story of this game is who is the better of two bad shooting first half’s.

True….I just wish she’d maybe take shots that are only close to the goal. 🥴😂

She can start by not taking any more 3-point shots. At least she'll get the misses 5-feet in.

Can I just repeat how ugly the long range shooting has been? Puckett had a line drive that was about 3 feet off the mark after shooting an airball. The good news is their 3 point shooting can't be worse in the 2nd half.

We have gone away from running the double high post on offense. We were getting Jackson the ball more where she can be effective.

Right? Every time you blink, she replaces a player on the court.

I think it would be wise if Kellie drew up some plays for when Striplin or Hollingshead are in the game, to set some pick and roll kick out for Striplin or Hollingshead to shoot 3/jumper. That would bring a different look and threat to our offense instead of teams packing the paint.

Stripping shot the 3 very well in high school. Just look who shoots 1/2 the team shots. That’s a tell

11 first half 3 point attempts seems abnormally high. I don't think there's been a game all year where they've taken 20.
