Shooting the way we did and only down by 9 

 

ill take that 

Only comforting way to look at it. If Booker, Oldacre and Jones had hit 30%, we'd be ahead.

Wow our foot speed compared to there’s is so much slower. 
 

also they make contested shots look easy and we make them look hard which I guess is how it’s supposed to be

Still plenty of time to get back in this one, but so far we're giving off some strong "paper tiger" vibes. 

SoCar is still better and deeper than us

Would love to see a Dawn Staley practice and Vic practice. 
 

im sure talent is a big reason why but the way they play contested and with speed than we do is a eye opening.

 

kinda like the football team against Georgia

Y’all think this is a Texas vs Georgia scenario where we weren’t use to that kind of speed or just pure Talent gap?? Meaning we got a way to go to reach that level

If we're elite, building a resume by blowing out dogs and then wilting against real competition is no more comforting than when our men do it. At least our women won that foulfest against OU, but we clearly have issues. I'm not crediting SC's defense with making us shoot as poorly as we have. Give Preston some run in the third.

Damn S.Carolina finna do us like we do good teams. 
 

sheesh definitely tiers here

Most of this is on Booker.  She's missed 4 layups, thrown it away at least twice, generally playing like shit.

Booker needs to sit some and Lee needs to see the court more. I hate that in the two big games Vic has shortened his bench so much.  Let Preston get some run.

Yes I hate how he does that. I don’t understand how you see what other players have if you don’t throw em in there

Is Booker on mushrooms?

Not sure, but there's reason to ask. I'd sit her for a bit and see if we do any worse.

I totally get why we'd want Chavez (duh), but we'd better find some interior players who bring much more to the table. Against the best teams a vertical above 6" would help.

The biggest difference in the teams is quickness.  We do look slow compared to them.  That said, having your two best player actively destroying possessions kills any chance you had.

I know Vic loves Harmon and we all do, but Preston needs more minutes.

Quickness is indeed our kryptonite, especially on the interior. When you don't have it, you tend to lose to teams who do.

As poorly as we played, SC didn't blow us out with their pace. They were sloppy at times but still ran their sets, made open shots, defended ferociously and rebounded our dozens of bad misses. You just can't be weak against them. Sadly, that's what we were from the start.

Looking at the stats, South Caroline didn’t beat us so much as we beat ourselves with poor shooting. 28% from the floor ain’t gonna get it done. Vic needs to play Preston more. I know Maddie is a warrior, but everyone has days where things don’t go right. This was one of those days for her.

Teams who can and have depth have learned to knock her around.

It’s not like I’m writing an AA off or something, but Booker has yet to have a big game against a title contending opponent.  She needs to show up against one of those before she proves herself to be Jeff Bagwell.

I think, too, that some of Madison’s struggles of late have come from her not having the ball in her hands like last season. I think she’s still adjusting to not being point this season.

She might need a sports shrink.  She is airballing layups.

Booker reminds me of Joyner Holmes at times. Both were 5 star recruits and play with effort, but they’re prone to bricking a bunch of layups. I think Booker playing point last season helped with her body control (Joyner was notoriously out of control too often), but she still plays hero ball a bit too much. When her shot is clearly off like yesterday, Vic needs to go through another player for offense because Book is going to keep shooting otherwise

I think it's a combo of 3 diff things - new role with Rori back, playing in a different body with the weight she lost and a sophomore slump.

Yep,  poor shooting negates the stats.

"We had 28 more shots, we had 14 more offensive rebounds, we forced 22 turnovers, and we got beat (by) 17. You can raise your hand if you've ever covered a team that had those stats because I don't think anybody's ever covered that, men or women," Schaefer said. "What I just said, it's crazy."

Sounds like our ACU loss by Shaka, except ACU was like “we had 27 more shots, forced 23 turnovers, had 18 offensive boards, and only won by 1??”
