Well evidently Tennessee is not as invincible as you have been saying for so long here. You said 1 through 11 we are elite so we can't bring in one elite player to replace another. Yes Dawn would've taken her out she took Cardoza out the other night for the end of the first quarter and part of the second.

1:05 left Rickea gets draped on by a defender,,no foul called...The announcer says, "NO foul called???"
turnover
75-78
3 timeouts left

OM gets the ball with 48 seconds left, we have two fouls to give before we can stop the clock by fouling.

We could have fouled,,,called a timeout, update the players that they need to play high-intensity defense on the ball and need to foul twice immediately ON THE FLOOR if not able to take the ball away!

OM goes in for a virtually uncontested layup with 22 seconds on the clock with us having not fouled even once

That is where the game was lost
That is not the players fault,,,it was bad game management!

No doubt the confusion at the end of the game was a bad look. It really was bad game mgmt. Insult added to injury.

Yes and the 9 or 10 decisions to force the post during the game. What is wrong with just taking the first open shot and get it to the post when you can actually do it.

I said the team has 11 4/5 star players and that is a fact. You can try your best to degrade the players in defense of fully grown coaches as much as you want to it doesn’t change that fact.
Teams like Colorado, NC State, Iowa are winning with nearly half less Top 100 recruits.

You just rambling at this moment.. I see what this is about.

Point remains.

Don’t expect much to change or get better. Blame the players for every loss.. when they win still criticize the players.

The coach(es) are helpless.. someway please give them a roster that they didn’t build themselves, because this roster that started the season ranked #11 is deeply flawed at no fault of the leadership in place.

Not true. Dawn would not have taken Jewel Spear off the court in the 1st qtr when she was scoring at will.. facilitating the offense and playing defense.

People it’s a known fact when a player is hot you don’t take the ball out of their hands or sit them down. You coach this in practice, so the players know, every game is made harder than it has to be.

Spear scored 30 and could’ve easily went for 40 but the coaching and some one on one basketball from other players took her out the game.

With Dawn coaching this is an easy win for Tennessee.

Irony is worshipping a player for carrying the team and then when a teammate on that same team has a great game and were mismanaged, deflecting and acting like it didn’t impact the outcome because it doesn’t fit your agenda.

Just move on you say one thing then say you didn't say it. You can't have it both ways. We either have the best players or we don't make up your mind. I disagree that the roster is good. After about three players we are not that great. Why you continue to talk about a substitution. I would be more concerned about the poor rebounding and careless turnovers. A player taking a five minutes break did not lose the game. If you really believe it did then you need to rewatch all the other things that happened that made us lose.

SARA HAD 6 ASSISTS AND DIDNT PLAY IN THE SECOND HALF BC OF DARBY ?!?!?!???????
Click to expand...

What? Haven't rewatched, didn't realize Sara didn't play in the second half. I thought she played pretty well the first half, esp if she got 6 assists. Hope she's ok.

Post and PG was where we really suffered this game. Disappointed in the setback for TK.

I think they never got started. I still say LAZY is the word that describe these players. Lazy passes, lazy defense, lazy rebounding. Ole Miss was just the opposite. They played with intensity the entire game while we basically stood around and watched them get every loose ball, rebound and were much quicker in their drives to the basket.

Compare the intensity of the two coaches on sidelines and maybe that explains intensity on the court?

Coach Yo makes sure to get tough players on her roster and we don’t.

Not quite as tough when they lost to Miss St by 12 just last week. A team we had just beat by 11 on their home court.

Ole MIss is like us, and most of the rest of the SEC. Sometimes they have it, sometimes they don't. And Yo is no magician, just a show woman.
