In her post game press conference, when asked why she sat her, CKM just replied "Coach's decision". And moved on.

LSU pushing the ball to the rim on the break won us the game in the fourth quarter when we couldn't effectively run our offense.
So "street ball" was the plan last night in the 4th (Kim essentially said as much in after the game) and it won the game for us.

I'm happy LSU won but I hate (and I mean HATE) the way we close games. We DO NOT play smart basketball. People understanding the game will know what I mean.
Yes, this. For a 3 min stretch in first half right when I tuned in, this is what I saw:

Maybe I'm not be clear. I'm not talking about the overall play of the 4th quarter in last night's game. I'm talking about the way we continue to play in the last one to two minutes of games. If you have a lead of several points in a game, you do not take crazy shots but instead burn clock and make them foul you. Last night was a perfect example, 4 point lead with less than a minute to go. Why would you risk a shot when you can hold the ball and burn clock? They will have to foul you, which is a higher percentage shot.
I'm not even going to talk about taking the last shot of a quarter (throw shot and allowing team to get a shot).

I just rewatched it. She didn’t really drive. She had space in middle of court and ability to peel out on left side. Had slow post player on the help side and went by her.
Not the end of the world because even with a miss, LSU is still up 2 possessions and getting the ball back.
The quick 2 had the same effect as getting fouled at that point.

I remember some saying she was better lmao
These kids have no clue how good seimone was

But it didn't burn clock and create a foul. What would have happened if she missed? Time and control was overall more important than shooting the ball. You have a lead and want to burn clock and expand the lead.
If you have watched many of the LSU women games, you see a pattern. If they are to win it all they MUST play smarter at the end of periods.

I echo this. I’ve still never seen a high school girls basketball player even remotely as gifted as she was. She was incredible to watch.

Assuming a defensive rebound? Ole Miss gets the ball down 2 possessions with 0:40+ on the game clock.
In either scenario, LSU is getting the ball back with the lead and greater than 0:30 in the game because of the ability to advance the ball with a timeout.
Fuwiley continuing to “burn clock” only drips another 2 or 3 seconds.
If you want to argue poor clock management, fine. But this isn’t the scenario.

They don't have to foul you. I know the possessions you are talking about and there is a shot clock. They do not have to foul you. Also, Free Throws have not been our strong suit. Now, should we have burned clock instead of driving to the lane and getting a layup? Sure but its not like it was under thirty seconds and they were going that there was a shot clock that would have left well over 25 seconds left teams do not have to foul you. Also the layup was not "a crazy" shot. The layup was easier than free throws it just didn't burn the clock like they should have. Relax.

And the timeout with nearly a minute left. CKM was fired up about that one.

4 turnovers first half alone and cost us. She didn't play with intensity and defense wasn't good. Fulwiley took over and played well. Kim knew what was happening and made good decision. She also didn't put Knox back in after the technical foul. Sometimes it happens, coaches make difficult decisions not popular with fans. Williams will have better game on Sunday, Kim will put her back in, all good.

This generally is the right plan....
But did you not just watch us miss free throw after free throw in the USCe game?
We hit them last night. But I have a feeling Kim was a little gun shy about pulling a "lets rely on our free throw shooting" last night when it was the very thing that cost us the USCe game.
Esp with your highest FT% person being benched.

I hear you but they will never win the National Championship if they don't play smart and hit their free throws (also must protect the ball). You practice the smart way so that when you really need to keep the tight lead in an important game (I know they are all important) or need those extra possessions (referring to closing out periods). You don't have to say "What am I suppose to do? Instead you automatically do the right thing.
Another mentioned: "What if you don't shoot?" Well, first you should have taken a shot (play started with 10 seconds to go) and second even if shot wasn't taken you've burned 30 seconds and have reduced the game to under 30 seconds with a 4 point lead.
Unless you have a 100% (must be made) layup...you should have burned the clock.
I've seen so many layups missed this year.
