Oh wow lol Kellie last game put her on the bench permanently after 2 turnovers I think Kaiya and Tess should split minutes no need for Tess to be playing nearly 30 mpg

Two turnovers and two minutes just tried to do to much. She is ten times better defensive player than Tess will ever be, but everytime she comes in the game she thinks she needs to make things happen offensively and ends up making mistakes. She is Burrell as a freshman.

She also isn't an offensive threat. Not that Tess has converted, but she still forces the defender to guard her tightly.

Burrell wasn't that much of a threat as a freshman was not a very good three point shooter and shot a very low percentage. She was better as a sophomore and really came on totally as a junior. I don't know how Wynn will develop offensively, but she is going to be a defensive stopper whenever she plays. I haven't seen Wynn play enough since she came to Tennessee to know what kind of offensive player she is. She comes in and takes shots under pressure and drives into traffic no one makes much when they do that.

I'm not saying Kaiya won't end up being a good player, but she's not made a case for more playing time right now...much like Rae at the same stage of her career.

Agree you can't turn it over two times in two minutes of play you get benched for the entire game. Overall she has only taken two shots one in each each game and her only point is a free throw. We'll get to see a lot more of her and Striplin when we get to ETSU and Chattanooga if we can extend the lead far enough to let them play.

Lmao! You’re right for now. I’m sure they’ll get it together as the season goes on. Tara needs to start Prechtel!

I think she’s one of their best players. If she opted to transfer I would die to have her in Knoxville.

I’m surprised Van Gytenbeek didn’t get a go at the point. She’s a great passer and has a nice 3 point shot. Wilson just isn’t confident. I’m not concord rotating forwards at the PG spots is going to cut it for them all season.

Anyone else watching Indiana crush Kentucky? Just about every UK player has 4 fouls, and Indiana's fantastic chemistry and disciplined play has capitalized on it as well as any team I've seen this season could. The Hoosiers are going to be really tough to beat.

Definitely one of the best, smart and can really shoot it!

Fran has been such a big disappointment for me, if she can find some type of offensive game, I think it’ll help them.

That point guard situation is going to hurt them, Wilson being a 6th year senior, should be bursting with confidence but like you said it’s just not there.

We beat this same exact team last season but doubt we would win now without Burrell

Down year for wcbb in the SEC ?

THE SEC is playing 9 games today in wcbb.
So far, it's teams are 2-6 with the last game about even at half time.
Losing to, among others,Tulane and Old Dominion. Not a good day for the SEC.

We might be down as a conference this year…

Indiana playes like a veteran team that is so aware of their teammates tendencies. enjoyable to watch their offense. Also Kentucky got beat re poor defense including not releasing and getting back.

Yep, Kentucky also has no interior defense. Holmes was ineffective against us last season. Our size neutralized her. She was unstoppable against Kentucky. Edwards and Hunt are going to get their lunch money taken every game in the SEC.
