Big game for WB at SC tonight

Would like to see everyone hot(pardon the pun) in the same night. Kenney and Webb crashed 2 agmes ago, so any improvement and consistant play by the others would be a help. Oh yea, defense.

This would be a big win for the Lady Tigers, but I don't see it happening. We are just too inconsistent on offense and give up too many wide open shots on defense. I am encouraged by Ballard and think she has been a spark as a freshman, but other than Plaisance there is just no consistency on the team. Webb and Lutley are so up and down and you never know what you are going to get scoring wise from them. It could be 20 points or 2 points. They were great in Gainesville for about 30 minutes, but over a period of 3 or 4 minutes let a 9 point lead evaporate with poor decision making and bad shots. I was one of the first on the board to suggest Caldwell as the coach and I hope she will be successful, but often it seems that we don't really have a game plan either on offense or defense. I don't see a lot of toughness in the team and they seem to fold in the face of pressure at times.

But also, let us continue to keep in mind that THIS team is young, AND has people in the starting lineup who are starting for the first time in their careers. It's quite possible, since this is essentially a rebuilding year, that this team won't get to that level of effort and consistency we need to see till late in the season.

AD does not hold her to a high standard.
not sure what standard anyone would expect 1.5 years in?

mistert, while I may agree with some of your issues with NC, she certainly deserves a few years to see what happens and hopefully she can get us back to at least near where we were a few years ago. She is the coach and this is our team and I support them. The time to say she cannot do it and is "all mouth" only comes IMO if we are not at least .500+ in SEC and in NCAA's next year. (Unless things really go bad this year say 10th or lower in SEC)

Played well but lost. Puts more pressure on vandy game this
Weekend. Tiger d played well in this one but off
Really struggled vs sc d .

All I see is an overpaid coach who continues to lose.
