Her last foul was on a double tech with the Vandy post that looked very similar to the incident tonight. Teammates pulled her away before any contact was made, but this isn't the first time she has completely lost her cool...
Disappointment for sure. As a senior and a star player, no excuses. She just showed her weakness. Who are you playing for? The name on the front or back? This needs addressed now.
They love to rough up players, trying to get in their heads.
Were a good team when we shoot 40 percent from the field. Mainly because we force a lot of turnovers and this limits the opponents shot attempts. Last night we got up 15 more shots but only shot 31 percent for the game. The second half we shot 39 percent and won that half by 14 points. It will take 40 percent from the field to beat Vandy. We have to win the turnover battle again Wednesday. Hard to understand why everyone on the team are such bad shooters. Hopefully players are in the gym working on their shot improving their technique.
No matter how athletic you are basketball is about making shots and that is where we are lacking in ability. No reason when teams give you open looks from the perimeter you can't knock down 40 percent of your attempts. Hopefully over the season we will improve our shooting because anyone can take away the inside sagging five players in the paint.
I remember that now. She was in foul trouble for much of the first half, and then Tennessee made a run in the 2nd half and she scored a few baskets before the technical, which basically killed the comeback.
Agree about Izzy but the LVs should get some props for adjusting on the fly to having their best player MIA.
Yes, the first half offense was horrid but their defense kept them close and the second half was a good performance. That short stretch where the LVs forced four or five turn overs in 2 minutes was impressive. Go LVs.
No matter what tactics Vandy uses against UT, Harrison had better keep her cool. The referees will not tolerate her pushing players in the face and throwing elbows.
One more thing. The LVs were missing Jasmine Jones which compounded the problems posed by Izzy's foul trouble and subsequent ejection. Jones could have made life very difficult for Mizzou with her range and athleticism.
Bingo. Agree with your whole post. It is mystifying how the whole team can go so cold for such long periods.
