Bounce pass from the top of the key into the paint where 3 Georgia defenders are standing

What was Barker doing? ... dribbling that deep.

Wow. Turnovers will kill a game

I think this game is partially a by product if the schedule especially leading up to the SEC opener

We werent challendged at all for last two weeks or more and when faced with a tight game we made errors that dont matter in games we played over last three weeks but didnt prepare us for even Georgia who will likely be somewhere near the middle or even bottom part of the SEC by the end of season. This should have been a win on the road.

Yep. Playing too many cupcakes softened the players and dulled their skills. Twenty-two turnovers is atrocious.

It's disappointing to hear that she was out coached by the coach that replaced her. I didn't get to watch the game bc of my son's soccer matches, but I think I probably would have gone crazy watching that second half. I kept up with stats. The zone is effective for teams that struggle with midrange shooting and it's alarming to see that we still struggle with that. We outscored Georgia by 18 from behind the arc, but took 29 3-point shots to their 8. Free throws? This is the one that gets me and just blows my mind. We were 3 of 7 (ball game difference right there) and Georgia was 9 of 10. How are we such a poor free throw shooting team? Barker was 0-2, Rogers 2-4, and Coulibaly 1-1. We took 7 free throws the entire game. 7. Rebounds were about the same if we dive into it. Each team with 11 offensive rebounds and Georgia with one more defensive rebound than us.

Overall, not a tremendous effort from either team but I think we have to expect more from Barker, Ware and Jones if we want to right this ship. I personally think Sole is/was underutilized. We saw Bowles and Hylton with more playing time. Don't necessarily disagree with the Hylton decision. Really love her game. Bowles shot poorly again at 2 of 13. Not sure if she'd play 20 + minutes for me if those stats continue. She's an excellent player with a high IQ but there are those that excel in practice and then there are gamers. This team needs to decide who the gamers are. I do see Jones only played 15 minutes but bc I didn't watch the game I'm not sure of what happened there.

Just a very very disappointing loss with the talent on this roster. Georgia is talented, too, so I'm not taking anything from them, but let's see how we respond on Sunday. Coming home 0-2 would be an awful start to the conference season.

I don't necessarily agree with the argument about us not being battle tested after playing a cupcake schedule. We had some decent wins during that time. Look at what LSU did last year. Played an absolute walk through non conference schedule, and ended up winning a natty and finished second in conference. It feels good to win no matter who you play and we needed that. If we don't finish top 6 in the conference, though, I will be extremely disappointed.

Barker is an incredible talent but seems out of control a lot and gets easily frustrated. She appears to compensate for the frustration by over-hustling--leading to poor shots and turnovers.

When she is dialed in, however, it is a sight to see!!! Hopefully that will happen tomorrow.

I have one comment NO WAY

No way what

I agree with this. I think, maybe, it's her age and lack of experience? She's athletically gifted but doesn't seem to play well in a system.

that she was out-coached by Gary.....this shouldn't even said hinted or discussed.....I want to know why every damn time we lose someone gets on this board and throws everyone under the bus.....men lost yesterday and I didn't see a post from anyone calling for Buzz head............execution is not a coaching problem it's a player problem.....this team is young but sure doing a lot better than last year....be patient

What do you mean? Everyone was calling for Buzz's head.

People are speaking to patterns. It isn't one game, look at the entire season. Georgia isn't a great team and it was competitive. It shouldn't have been. Even against the cupcakes it's sloppy.

Georgia is currently losing 68-29 to an unranked Arkansas team
