Would love to see Deshields Cooper Nared Graves and Russell when nared is healthy. Nared did some great things for us last year. I know it will take her some time to get a flow. Nared hustles, rebounds, drives to the basket, and shot the 3 relatively well. She adds some height. Very fonf of her!

Nared shot 8-36 for a .222 percentage from three last season. She showed better last season as a midrange shooter than a three point shooter.

Having both Graves and Russell in the lineup together forces most opponents into a zone with most defenders within a step of the paint.

Whoever the other three players on the court are, they must hit shots. Which is why I like having four shooters on the court with either Russell or Graves at least some of the game.

That might have been her percentage but she made some very timely 3's last year.

Why are we not utilizing a high low post scheme this year? Graves is not a back to the basket player, she is much more comfortable knocking down the jumper or taking a post player off the dribble.

+1000000....I was shifting through all the post and Teacher Dean is saying the same thing OVER and OVER and OVER....WE GET IT! You think Holly sucks! We don't need to hear it in damn near EVER post.

Be original and stop stealing another poster's post. We get it your head is SO FAR up Holly's butt that if she turned too fast you would break your neck in ten places. I did not have to go over your posts to make that determination. By the way I can't tell you if Holly or you suck that sounds like a personal issue.

I was looking over Virginia techs schedule and was surprised to learn that they are 6-1, and they also beat penn st @ penn state. Might not be a cakewalk after all..

I'll have to wait and see to be 100% certain, but the faint semblance of a pattern just might be emerging here. Of course, this is only a hunch on my part.

I'm expecting to build on the last half against ETSU and put some points on the bord today. Tennessee 80 Va. Tech 60

Nared needs to play a lot better defense than she did as a freshman before she's useful to this team.

I'm confident Lockwood will be able to "coach Mercedes up." CP said he helped her a lot, he coached Glory up, he coached Izzy way, way up, and he even improved Nia, within her innate limitations. Just give Mercedes some time, coming off a freshman year when she was injured, followed by surgery, then a redshirt year.
