Meh UK women's coach did OK, they where 16-7 in the regular season. 5 of 7 losses on the road, home losses to Ole Miss and South Carolina (no shame there, they went 26-5 and lost on a last second shot in the final 4.)
The greatest women's player ever did not carry her team in 5 of the losses :
@Depaul - 18 points - 2/8 from 3, 6 TO's, team shot 6/24 from 3, 23 TO's. Not coaches fault.
@UT - 14 points on 5/22 (23%) shooting.
@Ole Miss - 26 points, but 7/26 FG and 2/10 3FG.
@South Carolina - 12 points - 2/11 FG, 2/8 3FG
Ole Miss - 21 points, but 6/25 FG, 0/5 3FG.
In the loss to Iowa UK was horrible in the first half. Down 49-22 (not coaches fault and Howard didn't do shit)
1st qtr. - 4/22 FG 1/6 3FG (11 points) Howard 2 pts. on 2 FT's
2nd qtr. - 4/15 FG 1/7 3FG (11 points) Howard 5 pts. 2 FT's / 1 3 pointer
Combined 8/37 (22%) FG 2/13 3FG (16%) Howard 7 pts. (4 FT's / 1 3FG) I FG in the whole first half, ONE.
3rd qtr. 8/18 (40%) 2/7 3FG (28%) Howard 7 pts. 2 FT's / 3FG / layup
After 3 quarters UK down 70-46 Howard did score 7 in the 3rd qtr. but all ready down 27 before 2nd half started.
So thru 3 quarters she had 14 points - 2 3FG's / 1 layup / 6 FT's. 3 total FG's in the first 3 quarters combined. So as great as Rhyne Howard is, she was actually responsible, or a big part of many of the losses, can't put it all on the coach, but when your leader, best player plays bad, hard to fault the coach. She was responsible for a ton of the wins, but also most of the losses. Jesus, I wasted 15 minutes with this useless garbage.
