Mississippi St (9) @ Vanderbilt - 1/23/20

I thought only TN has 7pt quarters?

Thankfully, Vandy did us 5 points better than that with a 2 point quarter.

Saw that later.

Send the memo to your coach

Although against LSU, who plays a matchup zone (and man to man), MSU scored at will in the paint on us no matter what defense we played until they went off the deep end in the 4th quarter.

Yeah, the zone didn't really save Vandy. Miss State is weirdly effective at getting to that spot. And if you help, they're going to get the ball inside or be in a position to get an offensive board.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a team use that action so much and generally speaking you usually see it pushed out more to the perimeter.

AEH has been a real no show this season. I think it is just lack of confidence on her part. She appears to be afraid to shoot even when she is open. Last year her stroke was so smooth, this year it just not there. Hope she can regain the touch.

The offense is very different without T. We generally worked the perimeter looking for passes inside to T. This year, teams can defend the 3 better on the wings, and AEH is feeling the added pressure.

Because teams are trying to stop the drive, the top of the key is more open than it has been in the past. In the weave, AEH is really no threat to drive, but she could be effective if she would stop and pop from time to time. Teams are daring our guards to shoot the 3 from the top. AEH should take them up on that offer.

Matharu has taken them up on that offer. She has been a real surprise to me, I knew Mingo-Young and Jackson were potential starters but Matharu has so much confidence she could end up as the biggest positive for that class!
