Something mental going on with this team, some sort of discord among them and the coaching staff. We will likely never know what it is, but something changed about a month ago. If we lose this game, and it looks like we will, Holly has to go. Too many great players on this team to under perform so bad. Would like for them to at least have the opportunity at a new coach and a chance to win some ball games in front of a crowd while they still have one. If we can't get a new coach I hope several of the better players transfer so they can have a chance at success and playing at the next level. Sad, sad day.

We started playing good teams and exposed Holly’s incompetence. Once again.

Definitely agree. Not sure what it is, but this is moving into wheels-coming-off territory.

She is always willing to try and score points. Just some nights she on and some nights shes off. This team, similar to the teams of the recent past are very Jekyll and Hyde they will have 10 possessions in a row where they just wanna play one on one and then 3 in a row where they show they can play as a team. I have no idea what to make of it really.

Arkansas has been in a layup line all night. These girls are playing matador D. They stay getting turned sideways, instead of getting in a stance and moving side to side.

Gave up 40 and shot 32 percent can't win have to shoot around 45 percent for the game.

The thing is that Arky didn't shoot much better, but they are hitting threes, getting to the line, and staying mostly even on the boards. That spurt at the end was purely some run and gun set up off rebounded misses before Arky could set up their defense. It looks like that's their only offense unless they can crash the o-boards.

Do you think Holly would resign if the wheels came completely off? (which seems to be happening right now)

Just like Meighan Simmons, Diamond DeShields, and Jaime Nared. Welcome to your new scapegoat if Holly sticks around.

- 5 individuals
- can't use backboard
- no one will take a charge
- Warlick could face the stands w hands on hips or crossed it would make any difference.
- Westbrook is a 2 guard
- Kush should NEVER leave the box on either.

- Collins and Burrell could be special if they had a coach.'

It isn't just that, I do think she is the problem, but they just flat quit playing for her about a month ago. Something went on between the players or between the players/coaches and they can't get over it. I believe it is entirely possible the team as a grouped asked the administration to do something about the coaching and it caused a rift. Pure speculation, but something isn't right. Holly wont even mention Rennia or Evina in post game and they're the best players we have.

I know the teams she had the last couple of seasons also struggled and had their fair share of terrible games but i think this team has been far worse during this losing streak.

Another bad shooting half and we'll have 5 losses in a row. Davis 1 of 6, Massengill 1 of 6, Jackson 0 of 3.

The next coach will recruit a more balanced team need someone that can shoot the three. They were 5 of 12 and we were 1 of 10.

The next coach will, hopefully, know what to do with the players she has, not just recruit good. Under a better coach, the players we have now would be better motivated and developed; we would not be seeing such poor body language either.

When it feels like the wheels are starting to come off that's when you start seeing a lot of one on one, like during this losing streak we've seen E start to press more because she feels like it's on her to carry the team. That's why her assist number has gone down and her TO's have risen, granted she was playing with high TO's during the wins,also.
