Madtownvol, you should be ashamed of yourself! Just kidding of course! However, as you said with humor sarcasm, Cooper was NOT the problem. CKC must realize that her system does not work against well coached D1 teams. The UConn win was a rare exception. CKC needs to change her game strategy to...

CKC needs to stress defense and rebounding next season. The LVs had a 16-37 deficiency in defensive rebounds. This is why they lost.

I believe there is some kind of physical sickness problem with the LVs. Kentucky is good, but not this good.

This is not the team that defeated UConn.

Great! Now let's wear out Ole Miss, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky and Georgia!

I do not like throwing any player under the bus, however Samara Spencer did not score in the loss to LSU. She scored 14 points in the win over UConn. She played approximately the same number of minutes in both games.

The LVs can win this game with the same formula that won the UConn game, namely, defense, rebounding and clutch offense. This is the formula that CPS used to win 8 national titles and over one thousand games.

CKC joins a short list of head coaches that defeated Auriemma in their teams first meeting.

LVs will win this game if they can hold UConn to 70 points or less AND T. Cooper scores 20 points or more. I am basing this opinion on data from the Vanderbilt, SC and Missouri games.

The LVs held SC to 70 points. The LVs had 49 rebounds; SC had 40. The LVs had 13 TOs; SC had 17. The LVs had 10 steals; SC had 8. Why didn't the LVs win this game? The answer is: SC had 5 players score in double digits, the LVs had 2 players score in double digits. Unfortunately, the LVs are not...

SC defeated Texas with their superior defense. I hate to say this, but the LVs do not have this level of defense. Remember, "Offense sell tickets, defense wins games", famous quote by CPS. CKC must change her play focus to defense instead of offense if she wants to defeat good SEC teams like...

CKC is learning. She will coach a better team next year.

CKC is discovering that her overall play scheme does not work well when playing SEC teams. Hopefully, she will make some scheme changes next year. I believe CKC could become a step behind CPS if she is willing to change from an offensive mindset to a defensive mindset.

One of announcers said that CKC determines the starting lineup based on player practice performance. This was a habit of CPS. I wish CKC would adopt CPS's stong empasize on defense. Because of their stong offense, the LVs can defeat any team if they hold the opposing team to 80 or less points.
