Based on what? Certainly not what she has showed in college, and she hasn't played in almost 2 years...she won't be improved off the bench right away. She is no where near as quick or as good on defense.Hopefully she gets her act and game together, but it will be a big drop off for SC this season.

Oregon hammered Ole Miss 90-46 in Eugene today. Ionescu broke the Pac-12 record with her 7th triple double--21 points, 14 assists, and 11 rebounds--and third this year. She is now tied for the NCAA record (7) and will doubtless break that, since she's only about 1/3 of the way through her sophomore year. This was the second game of what seems to be an SEC invitational for Oregon, with the third later this week in Las Vegas against A&M, whom the Ducks beat by 15 in College Station earlier in the season.

As good as she's been, I just feel like TAMU should be better than they are with Carter, Williams, Howard and Hillsman. Each of those four is probably top 4 in conference at their respective positions.

ideally I want our freshmen to win but as for today Chennedy Carter has been playing lights out!

I remember her during the McDonald high school all star game. She was exceptionally good and she's proving that she's the real deal. Good on her!

Showing some SEC Love.

It's Christmas us Lady Vol fans should be all smiles. This time last year we all had upside down smiles. So No yawns. :good!:

I hadn't paid too much attention to them except up until now. I do know Hillsman their post player is supposed to be good and she's a senior i believe.

Anyway it looks as though the Aggies has their go-to-player and can win games.

Good for the SEC!

The difference between Knox and Carter is that Knox was a pass first PG and Carter is a scorer. Knox was able to get Williams and Hillsman a lot of easy looks, and while Carter can score points in a hurry, it seems to be hurting the productivity of her teammates. She needs to find a way to balance her scoring with getting her teammates more involved.

Ole Miss barely squeaked by Troy 96-93, a team we beat by 62. Ole Miss is not very good and part of that is because they lost their leading scorer to an ACL a few games into the season.

We also have 3 freshmen who are letting their Senior leaders get theirs before they try to score!

There has been several times Davis could’ve scored yet she gave it up to Russell or Nared,

Same with Westbrook or Hayes, they attack the rim and dish to Russell or Nared when they could score it themselves!

So far Carter hasn’t look to pass/get it to anyone but herself which has been the knock about her throughout high school is that she’s more of a Me first player

Based on the games I've seen, I agree. Carter's stats (scoring anyway) will doubtless be stellar compared to other freshmen, but that's in part because A&M seems to depend so heavily on her and/or her inclination to shoot whenever she has the ball. In many ways, she reminds me of Notre Dame's Arike Ogunbowale, a great talent (physically, anyway) who can be highlight reel at one point in a game and then shoot you out of it at another.

Western Illinois women beat No. 18 Stanford 71-64 -

I suppose they were looking ahead to the Tennessee game? WOW!

Stanford is about to be unranked next week. :crazy:

They shouldn't have been ranked after their 2nd lost (imo) but the polls said otherwise

Two mindsets to defend such a team:
1. One is to stop everyone else and let the star get theirs... thinking one person cannot beat a team by themselves .

2. Concentrates on stopping/slowing down the star and assuming the others are not that good enough to beat you!

Vs. A&M (Carter) you stop her and force her teammates to try to beat you. She is their offense. Williams can heat up and Howard is a monster on the glass so she needs to be monitored closely but to beat A&M you stop Carter.

Vs. SC you allow Wilson to get hers but also force her to have to play defense also and contain her teammates. You know she's going to get hers and be tough to stop. The emphasis has to be to not allow her second chances (offensive rebounds) she has to be one and done.

Carter is still averaging 5 assists per game which is very good and top 5 among all SEC players.

And about half of what Curtyce Knox averaged. In the games I've seen this year, Williams and Hillsman don't look as good as they did last year. The offense just doesn't look as crisp. They've even resorted to having Williams handle playmaking at times, which completely kills her offensive game.

Agreed. They'd be a much better team if she involved her teammates more. She's an exciting player to watch, but that doesn't mean it makes a team better.

I watched the Norte dame DePaul game. ND looks beatable but they have swarming defensive pressure that will be a lot for us to handle. Their offense is pretty good and they move the ball well and their center transfer was a force in the paint. We will have to bring our a game to beat them.
