Good start. Could have even been a little better. We are taking it to them on their home court. Gotta keep the intensity.

We need to keep doing what we are doing. SC, and especially their coach, are not expecting to really be challenged. They may start pressing if we keep it up.

Is South Carolina's coach chair bound or something?

RocketDawg

35-28 at halftime, MSU. McCowan just had her 3rd foul. And she's playing well otherwise tonight.

LC Dawg
01-23-2017, 07:49 PM
Great half considering how much better SC is than us.

RocketDawg
01-23-2017, 07:51 PM
Is South Carolina's coach chair bound or something?

She got about 6 inches onto the floor a few minutes ago and the woman ref shooed her back. She might be leery of getting a technical.

They're the best team I've ever seen, including UConn. Amazing.

This is two very good basketball teams.

shoeless joe
01-23-2017, 07:58 PM
We've done a good job of keeping their crowd out of it. If a couple jump shots go down and we make a free throw we'll win. Missed several shots that we would normally make. I think we were extra amped early on. They actually look like they don't know what to do with our bigs. They're doing a good job on vivians.

LC Dawg
01-23-2017, 08:05 PM
Okorie and McCowan have to be smart in the 2nd half. We are doing a good job denying their bigs the ball. If they get it down low don't commit a dumb foul. We need our bigs on offense because we are giving them some trouble inside.

RocketDawg
01-23-2017, 08:12 PM
We probably need a time out ....

I agree. Women's refs are absolutely horrid... men's are pro level compared to women's. 12,000 fans influenced the refs. I don't think they out and out cheated... I just think the crowd influenced refs that probably have no more business out there than you or i

Cowboydawg
01-23-2017, 09:14 PM
Losing one game to the refs typically isn't that big of a deal but this likely cost us the regular season championship.

Would've like to have seen someone else take the last shot. Vivians wasn't very good and everybody knew she was getting the ball.

Mjoelner34

Every game I've paid attention to (really only the game ones) Vivians had been bad. Seems to melt away in big games..

As one announcer said during one of our games a couple of weeks ago, 'she is a volume scorer' as in 30 shots to score 20 points. She hit her first few tonight then nothing else I don't think.

RocketDawg

I agree. Women's refs are absolutely horrid... men's are pro level compared to women's. 12,000 fans influenced the refs. I don't think they out and out cheated... I just think the crowd influenced refs that probably have no more business out there than you or i

I agree. You can't blame their team. I don't think the refs were paid off, but they were definitely influenced by the crowd.

SC coach said "We would have not won this game if we weren't playing in this stadium." You dang right.

She wouldn't have won it THERE without those refs. We got cheated out of that game.

They cheated. You don't se it that one sided, EVER. The screener getting run over on the last play with no call was just unreal. A NFL fullback couldn't have run over somebody like that in high school game, and it would be legal there.

Also on that play there was contact to the head. Should've been flagrant called there.

The jump ball on the first inbounds at the end was a BLATENT foul on a shot. Even the female announcer saw that one, and she had been cheerleading for USC all night.

I swear I feel like punching those refs in the mouth (though I'd never hit a woman). This game was so bad...so blatant that the SEC should issue an apology and FIRE their asses.
Absolutely disgraceful. It's hard to believe they could be that incompetent. Was it intentional?

It had to be intentional. No way it would be that bad and in ONE direction any other way.

This isn't going to be a popular thing to say, but Vivians often hurts us as much as she helps. You really need an elite scorer in women's basketball, and we just don't have that.

Yep USC player never touched the ball she had all arms on that. They fouled at least 3 times in the last 10 seconds with not one call. That was a pathetic display of officiating.

This is why I never get too excited about a huge basketball game not played at the Hump, unless it's Kentucky - impossible to win. We will always get screwed when the games count more, and on the road.

I don't watch hardly any our women's games, but she was brutal tonight. Almost our version of an off Stefan moody. Admittedly I have about as small of a sample size as you can get

No we just have VV and a 20-0 record. Should be 21-0 . She is asked to do a lot and sometimes She doesn't.She had 16 rebounds and is a good defender. She definately helps more that she hurts.

That woman is none other than the "I'm the greatest basketball player ever" Kara Lawson from Tennessee. I can't stand her as a commentator.

Cohen should file a formal complaint. That last no cal on Richardson with 10 seconds to go was ridiculous. For that guy to call a jump ball!! Really?? But, the positive is to realize after getting screwed the whole game, we were a missed Vivians layup and 6 footer from winning. She has to make either or both of those!

She is an elite scorer when she takes good shots. She took a ton of off balanced shots, which led to her poor shooting. She totally forced the issue when there was no need in doing so. She definitely needs to learn a little patience and not press so much. She also needs to understand that 1 assist equals 2 or 3 points. Whenever she draws a double team, she's got to find the open person and trust her teammates to knock it down instead of taking some crazy off balance shot. Now if she's got an open look or an open lane to drive, she's got the green light every time.

Agree, every other trip down the floor seemed to be an isolation play to try and get her the shot. That is Coach Vic calling that, not Vivians.

Vivians rushes her shots a lot. Always has. She would go from a very good player to an incredible player if she'd learn to slow down the game at times.

I'm pretty sure Vic wants VV shooting and not passing. He knows that we are a great offensive rebounding team. So let VV shoot and the chances are we will rebound and score.If you notice sometimes we struggle when She doesn't shoot. We had several trip where we threw it away, would rather take a bad shot that have a turnover. Can't rebound a turnover.

As much as I disliked the announcers last night, one of them did make a good point when she said VV almost always shoots the three or tries to drive to the hoop, when she would be better off in many cases to take the 10-12 ft. pull-up jumper, which she seldom seems to do.

Still doesn't make it a good play. It's incredibly hard to play a team like South Carolina and have a player take 16 shots and score 12 points.

But she takes a lot of bad, off-balance shots. In her career she has taken 1408 shots and scored 1475 points. That is some bad efficiency. She's at 39% shooting this year, 30% on 3's. That isn't close to elite.

Damn, wonder why she is a consensus All-SEC 1st teamer.? cause Smoot says She isn't Elite.You must be way smarter than all-the SEC coaches who think She is Elite, along with most sport writers. She is doing what her Coach is telling Her to do. And guess what-we are 20-1 with Her non-elite self leading Us.

I'm talking about nationally elite. There are not 8 elite players in the SEC. I'm not just trying to drag her down, I think we need her in ways. I just think we rely on her shooting too much, and she takes too many bad shots which makes us less efficient than we could otherwise be.

Ketara Chapel, with her 39 FGA, is the only player on the roster with a lower efficiency in turning shots into points, and among the 6 players who have taken more than 2 3's this year, Vivians' % is easily the worst on the team.

She is our most talented offensive player, unquestionably. And I think we really needed her the last two years to create offense at times because we didn't have enough elsewhere to generate points. But I think our team has advanced to the point now where we can score other ways, and I think we'd be better off if she took about 2/3 as many shots as she does, making sure they were good shots taken under control.

We are a great team, I'm not saying Vivians is keeping us from being a great team. I just think we could be even better with better offensive efficiency.

No shit, who wouldn't be better with better offensive efficiency . What kind of statement is that? You think we would be worse with better offensive efficiency? And plenty of People think She is Nationally Elite. You come off as a hater in this. Sure She could be better offensively but I'll take like She is. She has improved vastly on defense and rebounding since She set foot on campus. At the end of the Year there won't be any doubt who is Elite.
