I know it is early but these lady's are not ready for prime time. They should be but they are not. It is a shame. There is a boat load of talent on this team.

Yep, WTH is Carter going to do on the offensive end? Why get her the ball when you want to score the last points? That is just stupid.

It is almost like Holly was only introduced to her players today and has no idea as to what their strengths and weaknesses are.

This **** is getting old. I hope this piss bad coaching doesn't start running players off

Nobody can make a shot except the inside people. Syracuse is bombing in the threes and if we don't get tough we'll lose this game.

Totally agree we could be up by 20 with a lineup of of cooper diamond carter graves and russell. But holly wants to empty the bench.

Anybody watch DD in that last timeout? Looked disgruntled and shaking her head like she didn't agree with what was being said.

And can someone tell me what Mysterious injury MeMe has because it is no reason why she shouldn't be playing. She can't be any worst than Middleton, Jones, and Moore right now

Wouldn't you be disgruntled too if you transferred to a place you always wanted to go and trust in a coach staff and after being in the game and playing for them realize you probably have a better handle of running/coaching the team than they do?

The sad thing is most of us could draw up better offense than holly. Holly is effort this effort that. How about making a shot.

Yup but for Jones as a coach you tell her you don't want her doing anything but rebounding and blocking shot if she gets the offensive rebound under the basket score it if not find a guard and pass it to them

13 turnovers in the first half! 0 3-point shots!

And you have to make some outside shots to open the defense. Then you can go back inside. If all you do is try to pass it inside, guess what: the defense see that and collapses on your/our inside players.

Reynolds was terrible in the first half--turnovers, missed the same open layup TWICE on the same play. No points. Carter--no points. DeShields is a little too nonchalant for my taste: she needs to stop trying to imitate Magic Johnson and start scoring a little.

Our man defense is not good. Poor court awareness by players away from the ball; leaving three-point shooters open. Other than that, a great half!

That's why the best coach in women's ball is a man who actually coaches offense.

Russell should touch the ball everytime.

I don't what to say, there is no doubt we have some talented players, but the team looks awful..And when things are going bad, Holly does nothing to try to change it..Look, she was with Pat all those years and you would think that a lot rubbed off, but i have not been impressed since she took over the job, including that year that Pat was still on the bench..All the coaches that have elite women's teams now are fiery, and when their kids are messing up, they are all in their girl including their so called stars...Holly is no different if we are on a 7-0 run, or if the timeout is after 3 straight turnovers..These girls need to be afraid to disappoint like they always was with Pat...I have no doubts, that we will be the same program we have been since Candace played her last game, and that is good enough to win the Sec most years, but UConn would beat us by 40 or more, just like they do everyone else..HOLLY IS NOT THE ANSWER

Hiring Holly was an epic fail, thanks again Hart. She had no HC experience, coaches like she's still back in the '70s and '80s when she played, has no concept of offensive play sets (how often do we score after a timeout?), can never settle on her best seven players, has no motivational skills and is basically clueless. Nice lady. Should be a lifelong assistant.

We are unorganized, under developed, unmotivated, undisciplined and unreliable.

I'm counting the days until Hart is gone and Tyler Summitt returns home to restore glory to this historic, pioneer program.

Unreal.

The weakness of the team is the 3 point shot 0 for 10 tonight and that makes it tough to get the ball inside.

We leave a three pt shooter open on every possession. We don't even look for them. It is just sad. We run down and stand under the goal.
