If Vescovi would just hit 3s at his career percentage rate the offense will flow so much better.

I appreciate everything else he does but the zero on offense is killer and plays with fire in single elimination games coming up needing Knecht to go supernova every game.

They actually did foul before it got to half court. That’s how they had the ball there. Could have fouled again but there was nobody near the ball to foul. If they fouled Cardoso, she would have gotten 3 free throws because she immediately put up the shot. Best bet would have at least to have had someone in front of her with token pressure. No chance she hits that shot with even token defense. As it was our girls were all packed back in the lane. Just got beat by a lucky shot.

Read my post again, I said they "shouldn't have fouled" at mid-court. Make them heave a prayer just beyond the half-court line.

We are a 2 seed. Especially if North Carolina beats duke tonight. Arizona may pass us too. Still a great season and a great seed. Might be better to be a 2 seed to avoid the west.

Too much whining about fouls….look at the box score. Kentucky is a very talented team with so many players who can get buckets at will. Today, they stepped up their defense and played like a Final Four team. Just tip your hat to them, it was a great game between 2 really good teams, and either is capable of winning it all.

Onto the dance!

Those aren’t mutually exclusive though. 2 critical calls with Reeves stepping out and then calling a foul on JJJ when he blocked Reeves’ three attempt. But, yes, UK shot really well and played great defense inside. Stepping out though is one of the most fundamental violations where athleticism doesn’t matter. They missed one against Bama last week too. It’s just a bad product.

Knecht was doubled on the far side of the court. Prior to that shot, Josiah was shooting 40% from three. When a 40% shooter gets a look at a three with ten seconds, you take it. I’m not sure what world you’re in where they are going to get another open look from DK.

The next time DK can’t get open with 10 seconds remaining on the clock will be the first

LVs had a 2 point lead with 3.7 seconds left and shooting 2 FTs. We missed both and SC hit a prayer 3 to end the game

You can’t make up this 💩. That’s horrific! My son just called me as he just got home form the KY-TN game. He told me TN did a poor job defending the last shot. A bad day for Vols’ fans.

UNC isn’t getting that one seed. It’s Zona or us. The 1 seed really helps us avoid some good teams on the 3 line in the regional finals.

I'm proud of what the team has accomplished this season. This loss REALLY stings but the guys fought back and at some point you tip your cap to Shephard. Let's regroup and win an SEC tournament!

And SC’s center hits her only 3 of the SEASON AND HER CAREER after our girl missed 2 FT’s with 4 seconds left that would have clinched it. We didn’t guard her and she banked it in from the front. Just not a good day.

A cluster of mistakes in the clutch when you have to focus. Good grief. Hate losing games by losing situational awareness.

I’ve never seen a slide like Vescovi has made this year. He makes a lot important hustle plays, but how can someone go from All SEC to just complete trash offensively? Wide open air balls from three? Really? Even Lofton with cancer didn’t regress this much. Sad. I hope it doesn’t cost us in the postseason.

I'd rather play Arizona or Iowa State in the West than Purdue, UConn or Houston in the East/Midwest.

"No one would expect her to take that shot"
Yet she was wide open at the foul line anyway. Unbeleivable. I think Kelly needs to be let go.

Yeah....that was an asinine thing for them to say.

Yeah...she isn't the primary focus on D but you leave her wide open with noone within 10 ft of her when you have fouls to give.

I dont disagree on Kelly.
