Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 3846954, member: 6485"] I think not making the NCAA tournament is a real concern. Last night they did appear to want to win the game but it was the costly turnovers throughout that bit them in the rear. Few teams can win a shooting match with Arkansas. We shot well from 3 but played into their quick shots/quick back down the floor strategy. I firmly believe we should have slowed down and worked more clock on a few possessions and would have likely had fewer turnovers but still could have had the same result. I don't buy the young/depleted roster line. Bibby left because she was going to lose time to Jackson and Cooks. Right now I would give Cooks back and keep Bibby in a minute. Otherwise the only core loss was Danberry. Carter is our only post player and that's worrisome. Taylor has improved significantly and actually looked last night like the player I envisioned when she came to the program. The other players have regressed. Again, had we played like that against Bama or KY I think we win. SC and A&M have separated themselves as the best in the league. Beyond that there are 6 or 7 teams that all can beat each other on a given night. We travel to Oxford Sunday and what has been an easy win the last few years isn't this season. If we play the same against Ole Miss as we did last night we should win but the remaining games become even more crucial as the month moves on. [/QUOTE]
