Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jackcrevol]

If we're a 2 seed, we're likely not going to be oit west.

And if we are, the geography argument becomes moot.

no comment.

Free throws apply to men's game too. Missed 6 of 19, just cut that in half...

Absolutely, kensucky shot 50%+ from 3 and almost 90% from the line. That was the difference.

 

[jave36]

We are 5th in the league at 75%. Barnes has had teams shoot worse at the FT line at UT.

13-19 isn't good enough in March. Free throws are often the difference in the tournament.

Doesn't feel like TN shoots that high of a %.

It's not bad but she does suck and needs to go

Up by 2 with 1 second on the clock and you give them a wide-open winning shot. That is bad. That's a coach that doesn't know what she's doing.

 

[Devo182]

Hope you're right. But I would assume they'd have a better chance against a 13-17 team rather than us going up against a top 15 team with multiple lottery players

Road game.

Good reason NET is built around home/road adjusted SoS. Can't just look at SoS but where the games are played.

Zona should win...as we were expected to, but they have just as good a chance as losing as we did according to Vegas. If not, we may still edge them out...and then we have conf tourney too.

Wonder what it was in league play?

 

[Volunteer821]

Welp, today sucked pretty bad.

You can't leave Kellie alone for 5 secomds, see what happens. Pulls defeat from the jaws of victory.

I didn’t say that. But the poster said we’ve been bad all year. We really haven’t. Top 5 in the league. We shoot well from the FT line, but I agree that you have to take advantage in tight games.

 

[Revived2002]

Welp - that Kentucky game stunk - but on to the next one!

Go Vols!

 

[Devo182]

They have 2 to give.

Yes and it only puts the opponent in a BETTER POSITION.

They literally had the worst position possible...shooting from 5-10 ft behind the half court...at an angle. It's a nearly impossible shot.

The only possible outcome from a foul was a better shot attempt for USCjr. It's not like they're going to pass it in backwards...


Truly bizarre decision. Zero logic.

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Four games ago if I gave you an option that we would go 3-1 and win the conference, would you have taken it?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Huge coaching error. Should have called timeout before the free-throws so powell could get her wind back. The foul was a good call but then let them get off a three. Embarrassing.

I actually thought that would have been the outcome. I figured we'd have lost one of the road games and won on senior day.

 

[JCP201]

Wonder if White pulls the trigger?

He probably won't. I feel like they might be able to upset teams in the tournament-- Women's basketball don't have that many NBA players--and Rickea is one, plus Key is tall and blocks well.

The better question is, why did we let the girl leak out, and not burn the other one. A huge difference between 1.1 and lets say .7

Here's to hoping USC kicks their ass tonight!

 

[RiseToTheTop]

The stuff that happens at this school is just pure comedy.

Get Harper out of here

 

[Devo182]

Wonder if White pulls the trigger?

Considering they played the last 2 games...better see how they play in the big dance first.

Rule #1 - see how things play out.

Dude on VQ said after TAMU lost we'd finish middle of SEC...lesson learned for him. Patience. Then decide.

 

[gordonr24]

Interesting quote. Kentucky fans are not going to like that soundbite.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

My question about Kelly's future is what kind of talent does she have coming in?
Rickea and Key carry this team. Do she have that kind of talent coming in?

 

[Devo182]

That didn’t beat them. Allowing an undefended inbounds and shot with 1.1 left and a foul to give is what beat them. We should have made them battle just to catch the ball. And we could be as aggressive as we wanted because there was no risk!

I disagree.

Yes it was bad defense, but we could have lost in a thousand ways on the final play. They very easily could have posted up, made a deep pass and won it OT. Or pulled a Laettner. Or we defend the 3 but they still hit a 20-40% chance shot to beat us. WHY take those odds?


But letting the girl shoot it from 60 feet away on the run in a hurry has to be less than 1%.

You should NEVER EVER foul there and it's not even close.

Bad defense is execution. Happens all the time. Making a terrible decision is making a terrible decision. Inexcusable.

 

[engineerVOL]

What is this defense called?
