Whoa yall, pump the brakes! 
It sucks that we lost but, keep in mind this was the team's THIRD GAME in a week, on a good opponent's home floor, AFTER a long layoff for final exams. Also, this was Ballard's first significant action in probably three weeks. So.............yes, the defense looked bad in this game, but the team will do better in the near future. Oh, and by the way, they haven't lost to the only two good teams they've played. They've played more than "two good teams" and have won most of those games. Again, have patience. We'll be fine.

Ill be honest, I trust your assessment of the situation more than mine, and I didn't realize they were playing under all of those circumstances. I'm cheering hard for her, just anxious to see the wbb return to form sooner rather than later.

I'm starting to question this matchup zone, its chaotic. We seem to always be out of position, we give up too many easy looks. But our size is an issue. We will get best one on one. Plaissance really doesn't look the same this year. We are missing a complete post who is dominant in the paint. I do not know anything about Stephanie Amichia.

Plainsence also seems to have regressed and while I fully recognize she has a better supporting cast, still think we need her to step up in sec to finish in my goal of top 3. But time will tell, two losses and some good wins is fen for now, not great, but still IMHO acceptable.

I dunno guys. I think Plaisance has done well in the games we've needed her to play well. But, the shot attempts are a lot more spread out this season than last season. So, part of her lower numbers can be attributed to that. When they get into SEC play I think she'll be as effective as she was last season.
I also agree on the matchup zone. I hate that we use it exclusively. It's not a bad defense but, I'd like to see us mix it up some of the time.

man to man can create more steals, idk why we only stick with this zone.
