16-0 run to take a 42-33 lead (42-35; UK just scored). Near the half.
47-41 MSU at the half.
These gals can play. Down by 10 a couple of times and stormed back to lead at the half. Playing with a bunch of guards who never get a rest. They gutsy as hell.
So much to like about this team. Incredible energy, very disciplined on the floor and consistently execute just to name a few.
15 point lead cut to 4 at the moment. We can't hit a thing for the past few minutes.
Down to a 2 point lead with just over 2 minutes remaining. Kentucky back to the free throw line to tie.
Now we're down by 1 with 2 minutes (but we just went ahead by 1 on the return).
We really struggled against their press. Also, we settled for threes.
Tried legs causing turnovers.
Tough loss. The legs just gave out in the end. What this team could do with a full set of players.
Thats a tough loss.... we were up 12 late in the game... we really need some size and depth, it's hard on any team to play those minutes and stay fresh. Thats loss hurt

I get that most rotations get to only 7 or 8 late in the season but you still want depth for rest and foul trouble issues and we don't have that with 7 players.Quote:

Whats your thoughts on Novak? I've seen you mention that a few times. Do you think he deserves the job from what you've seen? I personally think he does if he is interestedQuote:
