Best shooter on the TN team is sitting on the bench. Holly needs to FREE Dunbar!! What can it hurt.....it's the last game so put Dunbar in to score those 3s.

We already jacked up too many 3's in the first half. Let's not go crazy and think shooting 3's is going to win this game for the LV's because we all know that's not going to happen. Play inside out and stop turning the ball over and we can win this game.

Three plays other than the threes that have been made is the difference for them. The Graves shot in the first when she should have held for the last shot and two turnovers by Carter and two by Middleton that resulted in 6 points for them.

The vicious cycle of panic: LVs start to panic, Holly panics and subs, players can't get in a rhythm, team plays worse, more panic, more panic subbing, more out of rhythm and on and on until the game gets away. This is how Holly helps lose games.

They shot 18 treys--and a bunch of them were from way out, and made. Hard to defend, but we will need to bother them more. They made half of their threes that half. Odds are they won't shoot that well in the second. If they do, we're in trouble. We, on the other hand, need to move the ball, take care of the ball and slow the tempo a bit. The fast tempo favors their game.

Losing by 6 and it's over? They hit basically every three they shot. We may lose, but I plan on watching the second half because it isn't over.

No way they stay that hot.
It's simple math. Just like the stock market .
About to see a "correction " in second half . We will shoot better and they will shoot worse .

Losing Reynolds has hurt us. Cooper is NOT a good defensive player. She plays defense like Massengale did--kind of lazy. And, yea, Carter dribbles too much. Our team dribbles too much.

Reynolds is needed

but I can't blame CHW for playing it safe with her either

I do not want carter running the point. she dribbles the most out of any guards on this team. we can't even count on Middleton to step up because when she comes into the game she doesn't even want to shoot. smh.

Credit to them for making those threes a lot of them were bombs that went in. If they can do that the entire game they should move on they deserve it.

Exactly! Here's hoping Holly stays with what works in the 2nd half.

I think we need to basically stick with the starting five in this half. To easy to trap Carter she is never willing to give up the ball on the double team.

Except analysts are often wrong. The bull market was supposed to over years ago, yet it's still going strong. The statistical probability that Syracuse hits 9 threes in the 2nd half is no more/no less than it was in the 2nd half.

They'll keep attempting 3s... but they'll start missing more if we shake their confidence. They smell blood because the LVs are so rattled. LVs can settle down, regroup and win this game. We need to go back to what has been working-- get the ball inside to Russell and Graves and stop taking low-percentage shots. We can win this. We should win this.

Middleton and Carter are not SEC players. Dunbar hits a 3 and to the bench she goes. And Russell just standing on offense. And to many offensive rebounds being given up.

They need to better job rebounding. they will continue to double and triple Russell and force them to make outside shots.

'Cuse looks they actually had a game plan against what the LVs have been doing. Not so for the LVs
