GAME THREAD: @ Oklahoma, Sunday, 2 pm EST, ESPN

[VA_VOLFAN]

Janiah Barker is the best overall player on this team, I’m not talking about stats from a specific game.

that depends on the day and she is definitely not the best player on the team today as she didn’t follow team rules and got left behind I am a believer that she is talented but I also believe she detracts from the team often times.

 

[ATLVOLFAN01]

What's the foul ratio?

9 to their 5

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Actual defense today got to have someone on Beers .

LV's have no one that can defend her. She can do whatever she wants inside.

 

[sechamp2012]

She has real problems with this group. She learned a lesson this year stay away from head cases and go a little deeper into a player before you grab them up.

That’s not just right, that’s exactly right

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

At this point, as long as Prawl and Civil stay - I don’t care who else leaves

Lauren is also a hustler.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

In the last 8 games, we shot 50% only once and that was against Misssouri, we’re shooting over 50% now and that’s why we’re still in this game, it’s basically just about hitting shots.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

That’s not just right, that’s exactly right

Can’t just look at rankings and price tag

 

[glv98]

Whether it’s true or not, JB is getting served up on a silver platter as “the reason”. Hope she’s not the scapegoat.

I think another player on the team, detaches, and I’ll leave it there.

 

[ATLVOLFAN01]

17 minutes 4 points

 

[lfvol]

Janiah is no doubt the best player on the team, but maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Maybe chemistry will be better without her

True, but she was the best offensive player for an offensively challenged team several games

 

[volnationnj]

Latham, Cooper and Civil with 18, 16 and 15 minutes respectively. The other positions were liberally substituted for.
The next most minutes played for the LV's is only 6 minutes in the first half.

Beers is 2-5 with 4 points in the first half. She does have 8 rebounds. I'm not sure what you all are seeing in this game.

Y’all going pretty hard on Barker. Lot we don’t know.

I actually hope Kim can pull her back from the brink like Kellie did Rickea.

Isn’t this her third or fourth school in as many years? That screams problem.

Difference is, Kellie did it a lot earlier in the season before it got this bad. Barker has been showing disrespect for the staff the entire season with the eye rolls and back talk and they just let her get by with it like they were scared of her

 

[lvocd]

IMO, this will be the most important third quarter of the season. SO much is at stake for both the players and staff as far as how these next two quarters could very well be indicators of ... well... a lot. Fasten your seatbelts!

 

[sechamp2012]

In the last 8 games, we shot 50% only once and that was against Misssouri, we’re shooting over r0% now and that’s why we’re still in this game, it’s basically just about hitting shots.

And OU is ahead because of foul shots AND 2 AND1s one should have been a no call IMO

I’ve seen multiple players yell at coaches, brush them off and even push their hands away, it seems like people see what they want to see.

 

[And1]

If we could rebound this game wouldn’t even be close.

 

[mudcat1973]

It is kind of ridiculous when you have a starter that you can’t depend on for anything in crunch time. Won’t score. Won’t pass. Won’t rebound. Won’t play defense.
Spearman hurts the team way more than she helps it.
The staff never truly gave Wolfenberger a chance. At the very least she will sprint the floor.

with the gravy and biscuit Eaters
and beans and potatoes
on Oklahoma
this will be a bad game to put her In

whatever Oklahoma's eatIng
They built to battle for rebounds

Wait! You mean leaving players in for longer stretches actually works?

If only we’d known!

Actually, I give Kim credit. She left the system on the bus today and looked here! I’ve always thought this team could play pretty well normal style.

 

[KnoxLikeUs]

Okay. Kind of how we beat your favorite coach and her Missouri team by 50 points. Gravy and biscuits….
__________
As I said, this staff should be playing Wolfenberger more.

[I4Vols]

LV's have no one that can defend her. She can do whatever she wants inside.

That's why she's scored so many points in the first half?

 

[CannonVol80]

And OU is ahead because of foul shoes AND 2 AND1s one should have been a no call IMO

While I don't necessarily disagree about the no-calls, OK is ahead because their offensive rebounding has given them ten more shots than our ladies have taken.

Whoa whoa whoa, Andraya Carter doesn’t have to try to LOOK smart. She IS smart and thoughtful.

AC is really, really good at her job
