The minutes will come.. she is right on pace.. trust the process.

[@ErikaErdely]

Kim got a damn bench!!!🎉

[@jayervin6181]

She just has to trust and use them

[@ChrisHill-w3j]

Coach pisses me off when she doesn't give them significant minutes in the first half of their schedule when they are playing inferior competition. You already know what your core gives you. You gotta develop your bench during this time.

[@Swagu-02]

@@ChrisHill-w3jYeah I was hoping she did it against SC using her bench which pissed me off..because that’s how they beat us last year not using the bench. She finally getting it NOW after the SC game.. Mjracle and Jada on the floor gives us offense and they are lock down on defense

[@undrajohnson6397]

​@@Swagu-02miracle good defense and offense today

[@michaelpinell1861]

​@ChrisHill-w3j this team has evolved from the beginning to now. In the beginning, she didn't have her whole rotation. Now, she has that and they are gelling. It's hard to play your full bench because each game is different. The needs of the team are different. We as fans just have to realize that Kim knows what she is doing. This team isn't where it is by luck. This team will fight to the end and anyone that gets on the floor knows what they need to do. I think this comes that part where Kim said as fans we'll get spoiled and we expect things. We just have to relax and trust the process. I don't know who'll take us as fans so the portal may not be an option but let's just relax yall and buckle up for this helluva ride. This team is capable. Look at 2023, we didn't expect an ending where the bench won us a Natty. It can happen again. Let's just go the distance with them and enjoy trying to get an appointment for the cardiologist. Lol

KG hates talking 😂 it’s so funny

[@Donald-n1r]

@Cdssfvh Yes , it is Walk it is ; Big Stage , Young Small Town GURL 🎇🎁🌹 ! She like A Precious Package or A Rose ; Unwrap or Grow 🪴 Slowly ; her Pace as Her Game 🎯 SPEAKS

[@junebug23x]

Shimaya Smith played an excellent game, saw some of her toughness came back!

[@michaelpinell1861]

She's gonna have a breakout this post season into next year. She understands the void Morrow will leave as she did with Williams' departure. We just have to take it one game and season at a time.

[@DeborahVerret-yp9fp]

Still not where she should be. Saw some slowness in the paint when defending. Hopefully more playing time will help.

[@michaelpinell1861]

@DeborahVerret-yp9fp well, the Coach said otherwise. Hopefully that'll solve your concern.

[@Donald-n1r]

Jada , as a freshman - NEED TO GET MORE MINUTES as an example for the other INCOMING "" FRESHMANS

[@leanamohamed7918]

Exactly when they are doing well keep them going , cant develop a bench on the bench

[@michaelpinell1861]

Jada will be your starter for the next 3 seasons. Fun is what it'll be and this team will finally have that experience from being under Mulkey with less transfers.

[@bethconnell475]

I mean, if that energy works for KG, then I can't complain. I hope to see her grow to be laid back and confident at postgame.

[@gnphillips5481]

i sure hate that ruby whitehorn cancelled her visit to lsu last spring. imagine having HER as a starter!

[@Navi.michael17]

I’m so glad she came here to be a Lady Vol without her we wouldn’t have been so close to be in the game lol 😭😭😭

[@gnphillips5481]

@ clemson still loves her too! on their wbb page, theyre still keeping track of her stats with tennessee! theyre having a hard time letting go....🤣😂

[@Swagu-02]

@Navi.michael17I like to say I really like TN and Coach Caldwell as a LSU Fan. I wanted yall to win too.

[@arrylmccall8983]

Coach, please don't fall in love with the starters...All season, when we needed to recover, come back, or stop the bleeding... It's the bench that comes through...We are best defensively when Poa or Miracle are in the game... Coach, they are going to Get better and More confident as the minutes increase... Jada is the second best shooter on the team...She comes in scores a three in the first half....and doesn't touch the ball again in the half.. Comes in later in the second half.. scores immediately... doesn't get another touch... I like Daye Wilson...but what does she have over Jada...? Other than experience, which doesn't translate into production...Jada, is the missing link coach... She's going to be the next legend at LSU if you allow her to grow...NOW....!!

[@undrajohnson6397]

They all are good guards just need to play under control and as a team move the ball around make the defense work

[@michaelpinell1861]

​@@undrajohnson6397yes. Ball movement is suspect more than anything on offense. It never touches the post as much as I'd like it to. Smith is great at passing it back out. I don't think they move the defense enough to get a cleaner look. That will be paramount against a much bigger Texas team, unless they can run them out the gym. Oldacre has like a 6'11 wingspan.

[@curtisnesbit-p3t]

I just wish KG would stop thinking she’s supposed to shoot every time she touches the ball. We need a point guard like KY or ND

[@Swagu-02]

We do our freshman Jada..Coach Mulkey need to give her more mins..which she kinda starting too.

[@undrajohnson6397]

That's true she need to learn to pass the ball also

[@undrajohnson6397]

​@Swagu-02 yes she really need to play a little more

[@ritchiehicks3220]

People writing on this page, please stop making judgments about players and cheer everyone on including players and coaches. You must realize that the players read these comments that you make and believe what you suggest and some do transfer only to not develop and become a substitute sitting on another team ‘s bench. We know that the game is only 40 minutes long and coaches have to put together different situations in a hurry in a game. The head coach and assistant coaches come to decisions based on practices and their knowledge concerning each player. Just for folks to state what coaches should be doing serves no positives. Cheer them all on and the kids and coaches will try to make you proud. LSU along with other teams are very good. Non claim to be perfect. LSU has an outstanding team with one loss to SC which SC shot 21 plus free throws and missed only two or three and LSU shot total of 9 and made 7 of the 9. Think about that, lots of corrections to be made by other than LSU. LSU knows what they need to do. Calling out kids by name on any team , I hope will not cause any problems for any kid. We love them all. Many of you make wonderful comments about LSU’s program and that is wonderful to read. Keep doing it !!!

[@michaelpinell1861]

​@@ritchiehicks3220thank you. This team is fine and I've said, is better than any in Kim's tenure here. This team is what it will be. At this point, it's about fine tuning. Some people can't let go of what was. Some people like to compare this team to another. The game of basketball doesn't work like that. This team has proven to have the ability to cause match up problems and can exploit them. This team can defend and score in bunches. I think they are fine. Effort and will is this team's calling card and as long as we get that, I'm happy.

[@arrylmccall8983]

KG, We Love You... Don't take the scrutiny so personal....We All believe in you...We just want and need the best KG, to win the Natty...So you will be challenged... Defensively... you can't go half speed...and offensively, you are talented off the dribble.. and the mid range...As you penetrate, don't forget about your teammates..The more you utilize them the More dangerous you become... Don't get mad at Coach... just listen, it's your motivation....The second unit is yours to run... Again... you will be challenged...If you listen... coach will get you WNBA ready...Starts with your attitude Beloved...😉

[@ChrisHill-w3j]

FINALLY, Day-Wilson catching some pine. I don't like her as starting point guard. She's not even remotely an offensive threat. I'd like to see Richard get more minutes at point. This team needs points from that position since we can't depend on any from the post.

Always take the time if you have it to bring your freshman around slowly. It'll pay off in the long run.

[@arrylmccall8983]

Makayla, is a phenomenal shooter... However, she has to score 4/5 3 pointers a game because she's going to give up 4/5 Three pointers a game..Her closeout has been dreadful all season.. That's the one player that should stay glued to her man... and not help...Her foot speed is not adequate enough to recover at this time... I'm certain other teams scouting have seen this on film... And will continue to attack her at the three point line... Texas and Kentucky on the road are going to light it up If this is not addressed ASAP.... Little things like this undermine the entire defense..How many times this season.. has the defense held the opponent down the entire shot clock, only to score a wide open three point shot in the waning seconds...? Miracle is finding her groove.. she's a hectic pest...You can never relax with Miracle on the floor.. She's annoying....And I love it... Samiyah and Jersey played stellar defense.... Coach, believe it or not...We have another 5 we can put on the court as well... Trust them.... please..🙏🏿😉

[@wbazile]

She played selfish ball until mulkey told her to pass the ball.

[@arrylmccall8983]

They ask her to score when she comes in... That's her role...But I agree she has to recognize when to give it up...The whole team does...Our turnovers always come from players trying to do too much... Trying to split double teams.."Pass the Ball" should be our team Quote...Lol... Morrow takes too many bad shots as well... it's ok to pass it back out if you don't have a good shot..

[@vonyetharrington5210]

Flaujae was right there open, she never passed 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@geraldos9094]

@ Watch what Malkey does in the 4th quarter when she wants the ball protected and someone to set up the offense in the most critical part of the game…..she brings in KG at PG. The coaches know who’s the best guard and ball handler on the team.

We need to get some 3 point shooting going also! MK can not be the only 3 point shooter she needs to mix it up!
