This late in the season, I just can't understand why the LV passes are more like lobs and the players seem to be unaware
that the other player is swamped by defenders.

The LV make so many unforced TO's, it will be hard for them to beat a really good team like S.C. or A&M.

Well we beat South Carolina once already so yes it will be hard to beat them again it will be determined by shooting percentage, rebounding, Refs, and turnovers all four categories are equal we need to win two of the three we can control and get a fair deal from the Refs.

Kelly noted in here post game comments that a lot of the TO's are due to lazy or ill advised passes. So my question is; if you recognize that is an issue what are doing to correct it?

Exactly. Dissect the film with the team and address it as a "Let's stop ding this!" .

I have stated this another way more than once this season.... Not very quick, poor strength (which will magnify poor quickness) and sluggish, not slow just sluggish. Announcers are always talking about free throw practice. I just wonder, after watching our players try put backs (tip kind or two hand tip up shots) if they ever practice this type play. They just don't look skilled, like practice provides, when they are in this situation. For me, strength seems to be a big part of our shortcomings, just as you point out.

This is a part of what the thread lead and my response are trying to point out. STRENGHT or the lack there of leads to weak passes. They just don't have enough strength to "snap" their passes. Therefore they look like lobs.

I expect if the game is anywhere close, when looked at the free throw game will reveal the winner and looser.

Only thing she can do to correct it is bench the players who are doing it and with our limited bench, it's not easy to just bench those who are doing it.

Many of the "ill advised" passes are the right decisions on the passer but due to poor communication on the person receiving the pass (preparing for a rebound instead of looking to be the receiver of the pass or not coming to the ball and expecting it to just arrive to them).

The unforced turnovers are ridiculous. Last night up 75-72 w the ball we get it flat out stolen and give them a chance to put it to ot. You can't let that happen in that situation. Give Ole Miss credit I guess but it's that kind of stuff that will kill you.

I agree and she did that by benching Horston, unfortunately Walker has TO’s but no points or assists.

This thread is nuts.

A few counterpoints. KK has some issues because she can't jump 2 inches off the floor but strength is not her problem. She can pound with anybody. ( I will give you that Key needs more time in the weight room).

On the slow hand eye coordination, anyone who makes such a blanket statement on a team with Rennia, Rae, Jordan H and W. (i.e. the heart of the LVs rotation) is not paying attention. And uh, given that Key is one of the nation's top shot blocker, her hand coordination can not be that "slow".

[BTW, did anyone notice how well Jordan Horston defending last night. She was really locked in.]

Now, the "lazy" passes are an issue but the idea that Kellie has not been addressing this problem in film sessions and practices is nuts.

Of course, the coaching staff is trying to correct this problem but bad habits die hard.

Sometimes passers get tunnel vision and just don't see the defender lurking, ready to jump the passing lane and sometimes, per mlindsay, is that passer and target are not on the same page.

None of this has to do with strength to zip passes it is just timing, communication, and making good reads. Under pressure, sometimes LVs get rattled or put themselves into impossible positions by walking into double team traps. Destiny, Suarez (both freshman so a little understanding here) and Walker have shown that tendency.

Jordan Horston has gotten a lot better in her reads and decision making so we have seen tangible improvement.

And on other side, particularly in recent games, the LVs have been scoring a lot of points by threading needles and make great catches in traffic and then getting lay-ups. Jordan H. and Rennia and Rae and Rennia have been connecting really well.

It appears that KK has did not improve her condition during the 4 years she was at Tennessee. She could have been a much better basketball player if she had worked harder on getting into good physical condition. Did coach Harper hire a new S&C coach or keep the one coach HW had?

She actually has improved her conditioning a lot. the KK before NEVER could have played 30 min. She def could have done this sooner but no denying she hasn’t improved her conditioning. She actually can get up and down the floor multiple times without having to be subbed out
