Georgia Tech Postgame Thread [Merged Thread]

[BobbyJ]

I would be really be happy if Dorka could provide some consistent low post points. Right now the only consistent low post scoring option is Liv, and she needs some help.

Agreed. And GA has her standing around 17 feet from the low block holding the ball and watching at least 3 others run around 22 feet from the basket. And when panic sets in she tries to throw bounce passes through 3 sets of legs. If she's such a great passer, by now she should have learned to get the ball low, see the double coming, and get the ball out quickly to a shooter. If she hasn't, that's on GA. Fortner couldn't believe how easy they are to guard.

If you think forcing two sobbing players to face a room full of reporters somehow makes them better people or players, I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree

If anyone was crying after this game they don’t deserve to play the next game. They are very short handed now and lost. Not a big deal. Not worth crying over.

To be clear, UConn has 4 key players out with injuries at present.

My bad. Out for how long?

They are kids, not adults. Your criticism seems very harsh to me.

Evina 23 CW 21. That’s adulthood.

Filmed in Eugene. Can still recognize many locations. Off topic sorry!

theres a thread there that could be pulled, how the coaching staff has looked strange since Moseley left. You had the bizarre disappearance of Lister, then the thing with Ralph near the end of last season. Sorry but Valley has not distinguished herself anywhere she has coached.

What was the reason Lister disappeared. Also is she still in the coaching ranks? Have not heard. What happened at the end of the season with Shea? Didn't someone in her family have Covid?

We need Paige back now idc

we need to learn to play team ball

 

[Carnac]

Massey is wrong. GT is a TOP 25 team

On who’s poll? The AP and Coaches poll do not have them ranked. Is that your personal opinion that they are a top 25 team? Provide the link please

Shea is the head coach at Vanderbuilt

Personal opinion before this game, and, certainly after this game. Mock my words, next week both polls will reflect GT as a TOP 25 team.

You can state your opinion. I stated a ranking from a ranking service. It was their opinion not mine. If you say they are wrong, you need to furnish tangible proof that they are wrong. You can say “in your opinion they are wrong “, that’s ok. I copied what Massey had posted on their website. Your comment made it appear that the information I provided was wrong. It was not.

I haven't read the thirteen pages of comments so I will probably repeat a lot of what has already been said. I gave myself some time to chill and try to be objective with my observations. I really do try to be a glass half full person but what I saw last night is concerning. This group has big problems both individually and as a team. They haven't looked like UConn since game one even with Paige in the lineup and that has not gotten better through the first quarter of the season. Letting someone come from the three point line down the lane to get a rebound can't happen. Trying to press and having the pass go over the entire defense for an easy layup can't happen. The team defense was atrocious as was the half court offense. These issues have got to be corrected or it's going to be a very long season. These players and coaching staff are better than this.

I didn't think they were playing like a top five team before all of the injuries. Now they don't look like a top 25 team. The silver lining is that they've got the rest of the season to get their act together and make a run during tournament time. To paraphrase a line from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", they're not dead yet.

Aubrey Griffin is day to day
Azzi Fudd has another week+ if all goes well
Nika Muhl has 3 weeks if all goes well
Paige is 6-8 weeks if all goes well

Love Evina reminding folks that there is a game tomorrow, asking for fans to show up and saying we need the support. Posted on her IG

So ... was that the first loss to an unranked team since St. Johns in 2012?

And THAT was a gift on Senior Night.

I have now clarified it was my opinion. Massey's rankings (at this point in the season) are not worth quoting. Massey has North Carolina ranked #3? My opinion again: Massey, like most of the other ranking sites, seem to be worthy of quoting 3-4 weeks into conference play.

I guess we’re done discussing the game
