She's part of the problem when she dribbles around like a headless chicken for 39 minutes, then attacks the basket nonstop in the last minute once the game is out of reach. She hurts the offensive flow and should be a 10-15 minutes/game player.

Ariel and Burdick aren't the answer either and she played harder and better than both.

This has been our pattern under Warlick when we play a decent team: Ugly offensive performance in the first half, fall behind by 10, then play better on offense in the second half but play terrible defense, and lose.

Right now we don't have a post with any offensive skills. Moore is too fragile to play big time basketball. We need Harrison and Russell. Hopefully, Russell comes back next year a much better player after the foot surgery.

We shot 35% from the floor and 52% from the line. We also got out-rebounded, out-assisted, out-stolen, and out-blocked. Pretty sad all around.

I would happily take Jim Foster of Chattanooga. He's done a hell of a job with the Lady Mocs.

He hates Pat he would run the program into the ground. Holly will be around, for better or worse. Maybe we can get Geno or Muffett or Kim or Tara to tutor her.

I didn't get to watch the game tonight but this is going to be a LONG season. Holly is too passive and doesn't seem like a motivator. She's too nice and that's how they play.

Burdick is a non entity in these big games. She must have been -8. Take her out and hit some free throws and we have a chance. I'd sit her the rest of the year. She just isn't a positive contributor in any way.

Carter needs to be more assertive on offense. She is very slow and tentative to start games. She's the best perimeter athlete we have--AND our best perimeter defender. She must play for that reason because NONE of our other guards are good defenders.

Dunbar must really have pissed off Holly to not even get a minute when the team needs a shooter so bad?

I'd love it if Balcomb would come here. She's a great motivator and great X's + O's coach. She does more with the non-athletic and non-McD AA players that she gets than Holly does with her teams by a long shot.

We all know Burdick is useless. Well, everyone except Holly. Really, Holly? You don't think that Nared or Dunbar could've matched Cierra's output?

Very disappointed in Ariel tonight, unfortunately. I expected more from her.

Jordan turned it up in the 2nd half. Jones played hard but just doesn't have the basketball smarts to make the right play. And God bless Bashaara, but she cannot play in systems where she's the only frontcourt scoring threat.

I do hold on to the hope that Harrison and Tucker will make this team better, but ******it...Holly needs to do a better job of team management. When will she get it through her head that Burdick is a bust and Jones is not a wing and should be playing the high post?
