I never do this at a half, but I feel like I need to. Coach Abe does not know her players. She has beat up on an FCS and weak power 5 schedule. She starts Ndour which was wrong. She needs a small forward with size and athleticism, she has it but she hasn't pushed her into that role. Again we started the game not hedging out on the screener. I am telling you what she needs to do. Start playing Jocelyn at the small forward and start using the one two 2 box offense. Start screening the other teams by running Dani and your other players through the box and stop shooting threes on the first pass. Everybody is shooting jump shots today. On defense, don't play behind the screener. Right now, this is ugly. I have seen coaches get fired behind this type of play.

The Ladydawgs won, but it was 2 bad teams that I saw. Coach Abe called 3 timeouts at the end of regulation and team couldn't execute one play. Coach Abe is trying to win with offense, she needs to figure it out that she needs to win with defense. She needs that third forward to help with rebounding. This team is 15 and 1, but it is worse than last years team. UGA will not get into the NCAAs if it doesn't win 8 games or the SEC tournament. I don't see this Team doing either, unless she changes her lineup. I would use Rylie and Enjulina as my sixth and seventh players off the bench.

I didn't see the game as I was traveling for a cruise, but at least they battled back and got the W, which is great for a young team to do.

I saw Ole Miss almost got Texas today as well. They may be one of those streaky teams where we saw the hot side.

Texas A&M played incredible defense the whole game. I've never seen any team play us better on defense. Our defensive adjustments were incredible in the second half. Especially the 4th quarter and overtime. We held them to one point in the fourth quarter and two points in overtime. Amazing comeback win. This young team showed great character, fight and hustle and never gave up. I was shocked at how poorly we were shooting the whole game. The only player we have that is not a good shooter is Miyah. She slings the ball instead of shooting it. Shooting is about 80% mental. Right now, they have lost their confidence in shooting. I hope it comes back quickly. We play the last two national champions in the next two games.

Based on the past two games, we may struggle against physical teams that have perimeter length. Kansas played physical with us as well.

Wow. I don't know where to begin. The last two SEC games has been horrible. We are seeing the same problems from last year. No growth in development. Girls making freshmen mistakes. If a 5 star is on the bench and is ready to play why don't she play her. No Effort on defense, No boxing out. I thought she was a defense coach. She is worried about the offense and that don't win games. The transfers are not producing except for Dani. You got to let the bench play. If you are not seeing growth why are we not giving other girls opportunities. The post still dropping passes and the post that do catch the ball and run the floor she still not starting. I'm old school no buddies, friends the best players play. We are not playing sc state, coppin state, we need girls with proven track record against this type of SEC talent.

LSU should fire their coach.

I was at the game yesterday. That first quarter was embarrassing! I thought we were going to get run out of the gym by 30+ points. This team is terrible at free throws and shooting. I was glad Trinity Turner did not jack up 10+ three point shots. Zhen Craft I thought played well the second half and overtime. She needs to play much more if not start. Enjulina played her tail off on defense. Dani is the real deal. Let's hope they continue to grow and gel. These next 2 games are going to be tough. We have a very young g, but talented team. Hopefully they will stick together.

The SEC is a tough and competitive conference. We are probably going to get knocked back (in a half or a full game) a few times and look as if nothing has improved.

I know we played a softer schedule in the non conference, but we still have 15 wins in early January, including a conference win. I am cautiously optimistic that this team can find a way, even if we haven't looked great.
