South Carolina vs Louisville

[CocoHusky]

1) Good shot balance from SC among the starters.
2) Louisville got virtually nothing out of the post O points for Johnson and 2 for Hines-Allen
3) Not often I get caught off guard by a player on a team that I follow but Herbert Harrigan of SC - big thumbs up!
4) Kaela Davis snagged 8 rebounds in this game. At GT Davis did not snag 8 rebounds in a month. For those that don't think coaching makes a huge difference give primo talent consider the transfer of DD vs. K. Davis.
5) The balanced contribution that SC showed is going to make them a real dangerous team this season.

Texas has been quite disappointing, so far, but they could put it together at any time. As long as Alaina Coates keeps playing on fire, we're not losing.

I think she is your key to a National Championship unless she runs into a player like Tuck, Osahor, K. Brown, or B. Jones of Maryland. She has to show she can excel consistently against players as strong as she is, imo.

South Carolina better win it this season cause next year we'll be reloaded...

My thought after watching the game was...


Ruh-Roh!

I highly agree. I think she has proven a little bit of that this year when she matched up with Mavunga. One thing for certain is the look in her eyes has changed this year. She's playing like its her last and her motor has gone from 0 to 100 this season. I've never seen her take plays off and that's why she' so critical to us because when she isn't in foul trouble she is our leader and biggest defensive presence.

The second half defense adjustment that Dawn made after halftime was masterful.. completely took Asia Durr out of the game, by Tyasha Harris no less.. who's a freshman. Kudos to her and Dawn. That's huge for her confidence going forward..

I feel like I hit this too often maybe, but I don't think it is too much of a surprise that the bigger PG in Harris would be more effective defensively. I still see her overtaking Bianca eventually. Maybe not this year, but maybe so.

Allisha Gray is so skilled attacking the basket. She has one of the prettiest changeups at the rim that I've seen in WCBB in quite a while. She had a layup today in transition that was just beautiful.. seeing it on TV is one thing, but in person it's quite the sight.

I love that she finishes tough shots. Waiting on her outside shooting to stabilize. She's becoming my second favorite player on the team behind Coates.

Kaela also leads the teams in assists...She's been very good all around player and has moved the ball more than her reputation would suggest.
