re: Did HVL choose the portal or was it recommended?
Posted by ellis197575 on 4/5/24 at 4:28 pm
HVL's mistake was leaving Louisville because she was upset her coach wouldn't let her play PG. As soon as he selected a PG from the portal, HVL knew what time it was and was out.
She CHOSE LSU because KM agreed to let her learn the PG position AND the chance to win a title. However, HVL simply w...
re: Will Reese and HVL Stay?

The HVL PG "experiment" was horrible. Many said early on it wouldn't work and if it continued LSU would suffer.
HVL is tenacious and gives maximum effort on defense, however she's just too slow in her lateral movement. She has had a few games where she's gotten into the passing lanes for steals ...
re: Will Reese and HVL Stay?
Posted by ellis197575 on 4/2/24 at 4:58 pm
HVL WILL NOT make a WNBA roster. She's too short to be a SG and too slow with poor dribbling to be a PG. She lacks court vision and can't handle the ball when pressured. HVL will be playing overseas when she leaves LSU.
HVL couldn't handle being pressured and was a liability on defense. I think h...

Yeah, go back and read what I said about HVL and re-watch tonight's game. HVL has BEEN a liability all season! :rotflmao:...

It wasn't meant as a bash, it's just the truth of the matter. HVL has been the biggest liability on defense all season. Her offense has suffered because she's often too tired and "settles" for poor shot attempts. Combine the fact that her defense is so bad with the poor offensive production and she'...
re: I didn't know there were so many HOF coaches on TD
Posted by ellis197575 on 4/1/24 at 8:56 pm
Well, you don't have to work at McDonald's to know how to flip burgers!
If you watch a sport enough, it's not difficult to see and understand the game. Believe it or not, coaches actually make mistakes. I know that's shocking but it happens.
I think anybody that's watched LSU all season could...
re: Would Mulkey bring HVL back even if she wanted back in?
Posted by ellis197575 on 4/1/24 at 8:47 pm
And it ABSOLUTELY would be a bad move...AGAIN!!! HVL has been the weak link defensively all season long. She's slow as hell in her lateral movement and just hasn't learned to be a good defender.
She has no vision and will never be a true PG. The one aspect of her game that is legit (SG) was never...

Posted by ellis197575 on 4/1/24 at 8:39 pm
Whatever gameplan you put in place, it should've never included HVL guarding CC! HVL has been the worst defender by a long shot this season!
Poa should've started the game on CC, followed by FJ in the 3rd, then LSU should've rode the 4th quarter by switching on all screens. It's not really that ...
re: Kim got OUTCOACHED! plain and simple
Posted by ellis197575 on 4/1/24 at 8:31 pm
Poa should've started on CC, HVL should've NEVER been allowed to defend her. FJ should've picked up the defensive assignment in the 3rd quarter and LSU should've begin switching on all screens in the 4th quarter.
Mulkey was severely out-coached! HVL is the biggest disappointment of the tournament...
re: LSU 87 @ Iowa 94 Final - ESPN
Posted by ellis197575 on 4/1/24 at 8:22 pm
HVL is a HUGE reason why LSU lost this game. She's played like azz all tournament! Williams was never gonna be a major factor this late in the season, she's a freshman. But LSU absolutely needed a better performance from HVL. She had crazy turnovers, poor offensive performance, and even worse defens...
re: LSU 87 @ Iowa 94 Final - ESPN
Posted by ellis197575 on 4/1/24 at 8:14 pm
The defensive game plan should have been to start Poa on CC and then have FJ guard her in the 2nd half. Also, LSU should've started switching everything on defense. LSU has considerably more athleticism. Bad gameplan and even worse results.
HVL has been a liability all season long. She has bee...
re: Bitch all you want about Van Lith
Posted by ellis197575 on 4/1/24 at 8:11 pm
Crazy how many are here taking up for HVL! She has been trash ALL TOURNAMENT! Her inability to keep her defender in front of her has been nonexistent all season. It's not about her stopping CC, the fact that CC has been able to dribble around her at will is why the defense has been completely collap...
re: Van Lith!
Posted by ellis197575 on 3/31/24 at 6:29 pm
CAP!!!
HVL plays hard and gives maximum effort, however her inability to keep her opponent in front of her is one of the biggest weaknesses on defense. She's simply too slow and often the defense breaks down from always needing to rotate an extra defender to help HVL.
Also, MW is struggling o...
re: Mikayla Williams has to get going by tourney time
Posted by ellis197575 on 3/10/24 at 4:44 pm
MW is a freshman that's adjusting to playing at this level, she'll be fine.
LSU needs to figure out how they want to play the screens on defense. They also need to stop sagging so deep in the paint that they can't recover when the ball is kicked outside.
Offensively, they need to play through...

Posted by ellis197575 on 3/10/24 at 4:36 pm
She has missed the last few games but she's not the problem, albeit a better performance would definitely help.
HVL, I've said it all season, is a LIABILITY on defense and LSU can't hide her. Teams are attacking her on both ends of the floor. Her teammates have to help so much that it creates ton...

LSU doing "LSU things".
It's one thing to fight with your own player for the ball but to come away with no points on that possession is unforgivable. LSU just doesn't play with a team concept and it shows against adequate competition. They look as if they practiced on defense all season and thoug...

[quote]Kim is a great coach
I do think she probably over estimated the HVL converting to PG experiment and the backup PG left the team.
Hard to initiate an offense consistently with no true reliable ball handler. Its a revolving door between Poa/Williams/HVL trying to find something game to ga...

[quote]Because it’s a terrible opinion.[/quote]
Yea, ok. They have erratic passes in critical moments. Plenty of times where they should simply back the ball out and reset but they get sped up and out of control and commit too many unnecessary turnovers. Both Poa and HVL can barely get around the...

Posted by ellis197575 on 2/22/24 at 10:06 pm
Fact is this is a poorly coached team. I know its a very unpopular opinion but this team just doesn't know how to win and don't value the basketball in key moments....
