8:54 without a FG attempt for Juju IS CRIMINAL. Chiney is on the money.

Loving this crew with Draya and Chiney, other gal has been doing a great job holding it down as well.

Juju needs to study CC.. if she focused on assisting to set herself up she’d be impossible..

Classy comments from Kim following the loss, and she's spot on. It wasn't just Clark who beat them, she had a supporting cast. I think whoever does beat Iowa (should they not go all the way) might gamble and allow Clark her points, but not her assists.

Yep, CC is so freaking hard to guard because she can burn you with the pass or the shot. Got that triple threat on every possession. She’s also super even out there, you never know what she’s about to do, doesn’t give much of anything away. Moves into her shot or the pass super quick.

I think LSU sorta thought they were going to do that, going under screens early and playing off her a touch. She immediately made it clear that wasn’t going to work though.

Might need to be more patient with that strategy and go with the long game affect. Unless Clark can outscore the opposing team all by herself.

One thing I'm surpised that LSU didn't do is same as what they did last year: force Clark to play defense and hope she gets in foul trouble. Yes, I know everyone wants to see the best players on the court, but letting her expend energy on only 1 side of the court allowed her to be much more efficient during her turns.

If you give her too much space she just torches you both ways still. She takes some for herself and the extra space gives her better vision of the court.

She’s always throwing a pass that looks so obvious and easy, but in reality those reads are incredible. Her anticipation is crazy.

The ever graceful Kim Mulky almost breaks CC's neck:

KM dressed dangerously close to a normal human being tonight. Wonder what was up w the green?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I know mostly everyone one here hates her but her teammates love her and that’s all that matters.

[VolFuture]

Yeah juju is so focused on dancing left and right trying to draw contact shes missing her easy layups

 

[Vols2015]

Oh please.

 

[Amb3096]

Four fouls apiece on Muhl and Arnold with 3 min in the 3rd. USC down 8, but this might be a war of attrition that they win with the mounting foul trouble for UConn.

And instead of driving right at UConn, then Watkins launches an ill-advised 3 with no time off the shot clock. Sigh...

I know! I so want the demise of UCONN.

I know! I so want the demise of UCONN.

With the decades long decline of the LV program, I'm reduced to asking for just want ONE thing every tournament, and that's an early exit for UConn.

JuJu tries to be CC but she's just not quite yet.

 

[VolFuture]

JuJu tries to be CC but she's just not quite yet.

I think the Kelsey Mitchell comparisons are more accurate.

 

[Amb3096]

What the hell is Brady doing hitting threes?

At least Padilla FINALLY answered on the other end.

This is a GAME!

 

[VolBall09]

Both of these games have been famously played and fabulously coached.

 

[Amb3096]

I think the Kelsey Mitchell comparisons are more accurate.

Which isn't horrible. Kelsey was a great player.

I think the Kelsey Mitchell comparisons are more accurate.

When I watch JuJu I just see freshman Diana Taurasi all over again. The build, the shot selection, the moves, the no defense.

I meant as far as firing up the long distance 3s.

 

[VolFuture]

Yeah but she really struggled in the W (relatively) bc of her same turnover and bad passing habits. To on ball heavy. Still a good pro tho

I think Juju Is better than CC as a freshman.

Part of why she was recruited was her ability to stretch the floor, haven’t seen it much though.

I see it. The over aggression. DT could pass tho
