Yep. Wake up call for the poor job they've been doing since the SCAR. Hoped 4th Q against A&M was wake up call but guess not. But two single digit quarters cannot happen no matter how many 3s the other team is hitting.

Must've had a rough trip from Starkville to Lexington.
Doing what we do there and having the hot shooting from UK regress to the mean. Keep it up and don't wilt. Cut a 20 pt lead down 2 at a time.
The foul calls are ridiculous.
We miss more layups to be a top 5 team than I've ever seen.
Ref blew the whistle before she dribbled on hemingway's 4th.
Oh well. We always knew this was going to be a learning year.
We desperately need shooters.
This is the worst I've seen them play in 4 or 5 years. They are sucking in all phases. Hope they got it out of their system. They have been embarrassed today!
They looked like a tired team to me today. Being young and I’m sure Vic’s practices are demanding may have caused “tired legs”. Sometimes it’s time to lossen up practices with short sessions. Just a guess on my part but I bet I’m right.
Vic has done a good job recruiting Bigs lately, but are their any shooters coming in anytime soon? We need some Vivians type scorers. You don't even have to guard girls like Danberry outside of 6 feet from the basket. Makes it much easier to defend us when we are no threat to score outside
And our two best shooters can't even get open. Seems like we'd try to run more sets for Bibby and AEH. We desperately need to get them going before post season, or we won't last long. All 5 defenders can sag into the paint.
First 3 quarters at Vandy was this bad or worse. We played real bad for 2 quarters in several other games too. For some reason, we just have different players go AWOL and then it is like everyone goes Ned and first reader.
Jackson is hot and cold
Danberry has been in a funk for 4-5 games.
Bibby hasn't been herself since the injury
Hunter can't get on floor. Been saying all year she needs more minutes. She is pure shooter who can open up middle for Carter.
Taylor up and down.
Also think Wiggins needs more minutes.
We are young and it is showing last part of season. Not sure how this team played USC that good.
Problem is they miss so many buckets at point blank range. Its almost like they are scared to shoot it. They need to show some confidence, they are good, very good. Just got to make them believe it too.
This is the biggest problem. Make your layups and point blank shots. If we make those we are a elite 8/final 4 team
Kentucky is playing 2 McDonald's All American's in it's backcourt , (R. Howard and Patterson) and adding another McDonald's All American (Treasure Hunt) to the team for next season. She's another really tall guard that's really good from 3 point range. That's 3 McDonald's All American for next season ...plus, they have a transfer that will be eligible, who was the PAC 12 Freshman of the Year (Dre'una Edwards)...last year. They'll be attempting to get in the mix with Miss. State and South Carolina for the top spots in the SEC and nationally over these next few years.
Chasity Patterson (McDonald's All American) recently became eligible. Look at how big of a difference it has made.
I figured we would lose a game between Tennessee, Texas A&M, Kentucky, and Arkansas. Really hard to win all of those games.
We better watch out for Thurs night in Auburn. We struggled with them last month at home.
