Alex would be great in the 9 spot. We have had some fantastic hitters in the position.
I am not what part of the lineup is not producing > in comparison to another part of the lineup. Munroe has been good. T Davis has been pretty good. Hot hasn’t been bad. I think there is production throughout the lineup. There just has to be consistency order to produce at a top 15, or better, level. I am waiting on Early to DH. Don’t i ow if he is coming back from an injury or of something else I snholding him back. But, I’d rather have him DH than anyone else other than Rose.

PG is a significant question for next year. Our three primary FR guards are 2s.

No disrespect but Moore at .359 and Alicea at .341 have been getting it done. Its the bottom of the lineup that needs more consistency.

Curious to see their OBP. I'm only interested in what have you done for me lately, as I'm sure Mac is,otherwise he wouldn't have switched them. Btw,I'm not advocating for 2 different guys,but obviously he saw something he didn't like.
As far as the bottom, it's constantly being tweaked as Mac tries to let the hotter guys have their shot. Much more pressure on those guys. If they have a 2 game stretch that they don't produce, they're sitting.
Pike is sliding right now and looks like a likely guy to find the pine soon.

Respectfully disagree. If Cochran's out of position at center, do you really think she has the skills to play the 4? She is shooting 21% on 3's and has 64 turnovers to 37 assists. Those stats don't suggest that she would be better playing outside at the 4 than at center.

She’s not a stretch-4. She’s got a decent mid range game, when she’s not shooting one legged off balance shots in order to try to get the ball over women who are 4 inches taller than she is. My point is, UofL needs a Liz Dixon type of post player to play that position so that she doesn’t have to.

With a true center to play off of, she’d also be able to post up against a smaller defender, because the post defender would be guarding our center.

And she would have made many fewer turnovers passing it inside to that type of post player than she has made this year trying to pass it in to freshman who don’t yet know when they should cut to the basket, or to inexperienced post players like Jufferman.

That was an exciting game to watch and even better to win! The arena environment was outstanding on TV. I tip my hat to Pitt they played extremely hard and are better than their record shows.

If I was CJW I would ask my team just don’t quit on me go out and give your all. It is obvious this game is over unless things drastically change. I don’t know what happened to Harris she used to be a strong inside player. She had a really great move to the left that was hard to defend she doesn’t use that to her advantage anymore.

We talk about needing more bigs and I do agree with that somewhat but when you ask about Harris and even Cochran, we are used to having better facilitators on getting the bigs the ball to the right player in the right spot. Our bigs are not shot creators. I think Curry has done a decent job of trying to be that person but I think she is more of a 2 than a 1. She is also a player who would benefit from a good PG giving her the ball in a position to score. I hate to say it but the guard play has not been as good since HVL left.

If it was the freshman screwing up it would be one thing, but it’s our upper class

Hasn't that been pretty much the issue most of the season? Yes, the freshmen have been inconsistent but you can expect some of that.

Mac sensing what we all were,tweaking it a bit to get these 2 going for the big 3 behind them to have someone to drive in.
After a loss like Saturday, you know Mac's not sitting still 👏

Just what the doctor ordered imo-Chucky going off from the 3 point line. Now,the scouting report has to change to say he's a 3 point threat and when that happens he can use it to get in the lane with a little more ease.

He didn't use to force his way into the lane and did a lot of his passing on the perimeter. Edwards is the one who got into the lane but he didn't look to pass and is usually able to get his shot off.
