It's Dan Reeves. And he'll continually fall short of the ultimate goal just like ... Dan Reeves. Rebecca Lobo was right last year.

I knew we didn't look as fast against USCe as we can play and added to that with T out most of game ... still only lost by 11. We didn't lose that game cause they're better than us.

We didn't lost to Carolina because we were worn down. We lost because they were & continue to be a bad matchup for us.

We'll have to agree to just disagree. We won first one and while Aja had 20 first half ... T stayed out of foul trouble and Aja only had 5 2nd half. We actually played decent 2nd time around with T on bench ... we just looked wore out to me. Not the suffocating D we can play and we shot poorly with a lot of hard, not soft shots. That happens when your legs are gone.

ETA: Everyone is wondering why we ain't shooting like we did during season. If your legs are gone, you don't shoot well ... period.

I agree with IYOK- SC is a bad matchup for us. They are physical and pound on us. We overcame that at home with 10K supporting us- but cant handle it in any other venue. If we play them again- they will beat us again. We are soft

Well .. I don't think we're soft. If so, we would've lost more than 1 game. I think Aja is only 1 on this year's team we don't match up pretty well with. If we play at our top speed, we can play with the other 4 gals on their team and I believe we have an advantage there.

It's my opinion. We'll see how rest of tourney plays out and I'm a hoping we play at our top speed rest of the way.

We are soft. VV playing the 4 makes us that way. She is in no way physical in her play defensively. Wanda is great at the 5- but we have a soft 4 and then Ro and Blair are guards playing the 2 and the 3.

Ok. I think I understand your definition of soft which I think is ... some teams are more physical than us simply because of size, strength, and stature. My definition of soft is ... not tough, which I think we are for our size.

So if we slow down to USCe speed (with our tired legs) then yea, we're soft to them and even more so due to tired legs. More difficult to block out well if legs are tired. More difficult to position yourself too since leverage is gone with tired legs. If we play fast tho, we'll steal their ball handlers blind IMO. Need to press and play fast on them like UConn did. Need to move fast on O AND D, not just one of them. Gotta be fresh to do that tho.

Baylor has been a concern to me too cause of their size. UConn is only team tho that I believe probably can out physical our 1-4 players and maybe play as fast or faster too.

I think we have to play at top speed rest of way. If we do that I think we meet UConn in finals.
