cgeldmacher Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Can we get #4 out of the game before she turns the ball over another 6 times? Quote
Pistol Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Turnovers and missed shots have caught up with them. The talent (and size) gap is a lot here. 16-0 run by UT. Quote

cgeldmacher Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Flowers is an elite player. I think any team in the country would love to have had her this year. Unfortunately, she’s the only one doing anything for us right now. BrettJollyComedyHour 1 Quote

Parity in WBB fouking sucks ??? I didn't say we would never have talent. Nor that our shooting wasn't a problem. I said the talent disparity on the floor right now is obvious. Rickea Jackson is a 1st round WNBA pick whenever she leaves college. Tennessee has 4- and 5-stars coming off the bench. The talent level is not even close. Quote

Being able to shoot is a talent And they have been bad from 3 all season. We, also, can’t keep up with them defensively. Tennessee has way more talent. None of that takes away from the strides they made this season. There is just a huge divide between the top and everyone else in WBB. There just isn’t as much talent to go around as in the men’s game. Quote

Lord Elrond Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Shooting has been a problem all year, no question. They need better 3 pt shooters especially. Where they have had success is in attacking the basket. Hard to do against Tenn. Quote

Hard to do if you have a football team, you need all the scholarships for women you can get to balance out the 85 from a football team and not get in Title IX trouble Quote

Flowers passed Lobo on All time block list. Years ago when WBB Final 4 was in STL. I saw Lobo stumblin' outside a bar on the Landing. I said "that's Rebecca Lobo " person I was with said "No way." So I shouted out, "Lobo!" She turned smiled and gave me a peace sign as she stumbled off toward the Mississippi. Cool story right. RamJAMTIME 1 Quote
