She comes out with Enjulina at point guard, Trinity at 2 guard, Dani at small forward and Rylie at power forward. She just threw Dani out of the offense and Rylie has to help guard Essence Cody. This is the dumbest coaching job I have ever seen. You are on a three game winning streak in the SEC and you sabotage your own team. Somebody tell me something, because I have never seen this. You didn't do this against South Carolina or LSU, so why are we doing this now. Alabama has 31 points at halftime, that is normal, but UGA has 28 points which is not normal and Dani Carnegie for the first time is in foul trouble. It is as if Coach Abe is throwing the game away.

This game was lost with the starting lineup. I have seen some things these last three games that says that we will have an exodus of players to the transfer portal after the last game. I have said this before, that Coach Abe is a Group of Five Coach and not an SEC coach. This was truly one of the worst coaching games I have ever seen in my life. She put Carnegie in a bad spot right with the starting lineup. There are some things I want to say but I will comment after the season about this. Don't be shocked if this team goes into a funk the rest of the season. There is something going on in the locker room that might come out.

I was at the game tonight and the Lady Dogs got off to a great start. It was 20-8 Dawgs on top at the end of the first period. They lost this game in the 2nd and 4th quarters. Just awful play. I believe Bama started 4 guards and 1 forward. Essence Cody did not start, but we struggled with her. Dani was definitely off tonight. Most of her shots seemed to come up short like she didn't have her legs under her. Trinity shot terrible as well. Zhen let a couple of great passes through her hands on fast breaks and turned the ball over. We missed a lot of layups tonight too and shot some stupid 3 pointers. I will say that after the game I heard Rylie tell a fan that was trying to high five her that she couldn't because she had the flu. Maybe there were others on the team that were sick as well? I think that could have something to do with the way Dani played as well.

We played the wrong team at the wrong time. The broadcast did confirm Rylie has/had the flu. I think Arkansas had been battling it when we played them. We don't play until next Thursday, so hopefully we can recover from any illness with team members.

I didn't like the game plan either, but I understand what she was trying to do. There's no shame in losing to a team like Alabama. They are experienced, talented, and well-coached.

We could not ring the basket in the 2nd and 4th quarters. Alabama played incredible defense. Especially after the first quarter. They defended Dani extremely well. The refs spent a lot of time talking to the Alabama coach. Enjulina is our best defender. I have no problem seeing her play against a team that starts three guards. I would like to see better movement of our players on offense. Also more screening for each other. But better shooting would take care of just about all of our problems.

Alabama is not South Carolina or LSU, Coach Abe put Enjulina Gonzalez in the starting lineup and that told me that Coach Abe is not trying to win this game. Enjulina and Trinity had the ball in their hands the entire first half. This is a mediocre team without Dani Carnegie. By having Trinity Turner, Rylie Theurakauf and Enjulina forced Dani Carnegie to play forward. Dani Carnegie is a guard. What Coach trys to match up with a team by going smaller. I can't get the look out of my mind that Coach Abe gave Dani Carnegie at halftime of the Arkansas when they where walking off the floor to the locker room. She has been running plays away from Carnegie to the other side of the floor. If she doesn't want Carnegie to score, put her on the bench. This team is team fixing to go down hill in a hurry. Mock my words, I have seen this before. A lot of folks will be saying what happened to the team when they played Alabama. I saw it before Alabama.

Dani sat out most of the first half with two fouls.
