Izzy is cursed.

 

[Voluble2]

Dunbar getting blown by.

 

[Sandvol]

Dunbar getting blown by.

They have her out of position guarding a point guard.

 

[Volfan2012]

Were ahead by eight better than the other way around. We've been able to turn them over but they are shooting the ball really well.

 

[VollyParton]

Fun watching the offense tonight!

Good half. Harrison had a guard on her on UT's last possession--but Nared didn't pass it to her. You gotta recognize mismatches. Missed opportunity. Glad Nared is getting some good PT: she needs it. I wonder if Jones is going to make it back this year.

Notre Dame had such tremendous spacing Monday. That is one thing Tyndall does well. Our women need to work on that.

problems--three players close together. We dribble the ball more than most good teams do against a zone. (Watch UConn attack a zone. A lot of passes by players who do not dribble at all.) Our ball movement is still too slow--but we were patient and got looks and made shots. So far, so good.

Good to see Middleton break out of her shooting slump. Tennessee seems to have rebounded quite nicely from the ND loss. I can def see us having 0 SEC losses going into Columbia for the SC game.

 

[Volfan2012]

Didn't realize we had 11 turnovers way to many but they have ten so no real advantage.

I wish Holly would run half court scrimmages where the players are not allowed to dribble-only pass, catch and shoot.

Yes, she's extending a lot better. She had been short arming her shots too much.

 

[Volfan2012]

Hopefully we can extend this lead I hate nail biters.

 

[Sandvol]

Why did Burdick turn right into her?

 

[Sandvol]

Harrison lucky there.

 

[Voluble2]

Nicki has told them to flop... I don't like that she did that.

 

[Sandvol]

Carter extending so much better too the last few games. That is what I'm talking about Holly. She is doing some good coaching. Not elite yet but getting better IMO.

 

[boxerpupsrcool]

Now things are clicking!! Carter is on fire!!

 

[Volfan2012]

Carter shooting like she shot last year. Got that three point shot working.

 

[Sandvol]

Nicki has told them to flop... I don't like that she did that.

I'll get on all fours and bark like a dog if Nikki wants me to.

 

[Sandvol]

Carter shooting like she shot last year. Got that three point shot working.

Lately, actually better.

 

[Volfan2012]

Definitely see the offense getting better need to keep that defensive intensity.

 

[Volfan2012]

Need about a 10 to 0 run and this one would look like another SEC win.

 

[Sandvol]

Three things offensively: Spacing (less dribbling too), better extension on the shots, and get Harrison to do more catch and shoot. Keep focusing on those three things.

 

[Volfan2012]

I thought that the team on the floor right now Middleton, Carter, and Massengale would shoot the lights out at the three. Maybe it could still happen.

 

[armchair]

I wish Holly would run half court scrimmages where the players are not allowed to dribble-only pass, catch and shoot.

Great training--all passing, no dribbling. It can be hard to attack a zone when you dribble around the perimeter as we do, but it is working tonight. LSU has not been very impressive, really.
