Yes we absolutely miss them but we couldā€™ve won this game by 10 plus points. We had 0(!!!!!) fast break points and had a point in the second quater where we had three layup fast break attempts and missed all. We lack fundamentals and while they play tough defense these girls are too nice. I think Dawn may be a little too ā€œchillā€ will them. UConn girls screaming in their faces, cursing after getting blocks, standing over them, etc. is where we miss KiKi. She wouldā€™ve turned into a offensive monster šŸ˜‚ . We donā€™t have that this year yet and maybe never will.

So i wasnā€™t gonna say anything about the standing over a a player and cussing because i didnā€™t wanna get called a hater for calling a certain player out!

I don't care as much about Kiki's toughness as her calmly drilling jump shots and opening up the floor.

We are back to having teams not have to worry much about teams extending their defense on two players.

Both teams played extremely hard and well on defense. Neither was very good offensively.

I guess the question is which team has more room to improve in another matchup.
I feel like South Carolina missed more bunnies and had more careless turnovers and took more ill advised shots, but I might be biased.

If I didn't have a three week ban for I guess crossing the wrong home board trolly fan, I'd make another declaration of love for Bueckers on the Boneyard.

When she does the wrong thing it's amazing. And I think this game, it was literally just dragging her feet twice.

Not sure the back iron high bounce three ball was exactly fair but what can you do?

I hope SC slaps UConn into next week.

Paige struggled against Tennessee's length. She should have an encore tonight with Brea Beal and Lele Grisette draped all over her like a cheap suit.

Boston not even noticing that ONO is there.

Williams 0-6 on threes.

Poor Evina trying to guard/rebound against Saxton/Amihere (good luck with that).

SC 72 UConn 59

Surprising. I didn't think she was that kind of player.

I thought it was her who stood over a player when she blocked her... she has a bit of an edge and most of all competitive but bordering on cocky. Thatā€™s where they got bullied became Kiki would have been over there real quick and handled that šŸ˜‚

B79A1908-61A0-4427-91AB-8C8A73627B72.jpegIā€™m screaming at these banner pictures on Twitter! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚.

Honestly though, South Carolina should have won this game handily, thatā€™s what they get for calling us ā€œTurnover Tennesseeā€..... Henderson KILLED them tonight with her turnovers!

Missing point blank shots.....we should understand some of their pain in this loss, they had an off night and still managed to stay in the game. Had Rennia had her usual night, we couldā€™ve pulled out the win against them as well.

Side note : I hate to say it but Iā€™m sold on Bueckers. šŸ˜©

Bueckers is definitely the real deal. Makes it a little sweeter and the rivalry a little more interesting that we handed her probably her toughest night so far. She still hit the big shot but she earned every bit of it.

I thought we executed much better against UCONN than SC did. Kept waiting for Staley to adjust to some things and she didnā€™t. The turnovers and missed layups were killer. Henderson with 8 TOs is just inexcusable.

Exactly his team played all of what 2 games? šŸ˜‚ Lmaoooo guirantes WASTED her time big time coming back now players passing her by on the draft board. Shame.

Actually 9 games and after a long layoff they came back and won against Nebraska the other day. Their only issue is getting enough games in to make the tournament.

And Guirantes had a tough night shooting but still managed 17 points.

No, she didn't waste her time coming back. I'm not even sure what you mean by that. And the WNBA draft? She is still the same player that is 7,5,4, and 3 in the mock drafts I looked at. Dumb comment.

" I'm not making excuses, but it's a lot different playing with the Wilson ball than the Nike ball"

Now THAT is funny.

Yeah, worry about your own team. Tennessee will kick their ass.
