South Carolina Preview and Game Thread

[Avery75]

That was a horrible mistake. This is a completely new team and you should have started easier and let them build some chemistry

Not enough talent.

6 String I completely agree with you. This team needed to start out easy and build up to
the big games.

Right now it seems every team we are going to play is game planning to stop Kate.

The old school coaching of I don't care about the others players outside of layups just do not let Kate beat us. When I see that it tells me we do not have enough offensive talent around Kate. (What Avery75 said basically)

This is what I would try. I think Kate, Gabby, Nyla, Sophie and Ciera or Noelle are our best offensive players at this time. Reniya is a good player but until she finds her shooting ability she cannot help us very much.

I would play these 5 players together a lot and try to develop some chemistry/offense and team confidence.

If and when I did substitute I would try to only do it one player at a time to see what combinations works well together and what does not.

This is a very important stretch of games coming up IMO. We need some wins and some momentum before ACC play begins.

I haven’t read the thread or what has been said, but some perspective might help alleviate the sting of yesterday. This might be USC’s best team, not talent, but team under Staley and they are very deep. Barring injuries, I am not sure any other school in the country will be able to compete with USC come tournament time.

Damn USuCk is good. I hate them but they always have a hell of a ladies basketball team

It is called talent in all positions including the subs coming off of the bench.

And they do that, every huddle and dead ball. As they should!

Sure and we didn't just lose by 45 points
