Listened to this game on the radio network - UT played horrible defense and couldn't rebound - the biggest two characteristics of what exemplified Pat Summitt basketball. Holly needs to make some adjustments - quickly. UF was left open all day for 3's and when they switched to man to man defense, UF got easy layups.

Although not quite as frustrating as last year's team, if this team could consistently play some lock down defense and stop turning the ball over, they'd be blowing past other teams by 20+ points...

They desperately need Izzy Harrison back - if at all possible by the next game. Without her, other teams are getting inside shots and offensive rebounds. Her absence is a huge disadvantage for this team...

Yeah, since we have no post presence we are having to slough off and play help down low. That leaves outside shooters open. If we man up outside then there is no one behind the guards to shut down drives and our post players are undersized and playing out of position.

You have to kind of pick your poison. We tried helping down low early and got lit up from outside. We switched and that left more layups open but we took the trade of 2's for 3's and that was what worked for us.

Agree, just don't have the personnel without Harrison.

I think our defensive players off the ball have to know when offensive players are driving and help on the inside.

A quick look to the ball will often clue a player of a drive.

Without a stopper inside it is going to take a team effort to stop the lane drives.
