Vivi

I know we are trying to run a certain offense, but we have got to get Vivi on the floor more. I don't care if her and Kaylon are in the game at the same time. Those two are fierce competitors on the block, and Vivi has the chance to be dominant in the future. Vivi gets 15 and 9 tonight and only plays 20 minutes. I think she needs to get more like 25-30. Does she need to work on her conditioning? Maybe that's not realistic and doesn't fit the offense. Vivi just needs to continue to get better because I love what she brings to our team.

She is doing great. I noticed KK fouled out tonight - first time that has happened this year. Since I did not get to actually see the game, I won't attempt to evaluate it too much, but on the surface that is disappointing.

I think the reason KK and Vivi alternate (about splitting the time) is they just can't hold up for over about 20 minutes or so.

I assume Treece will also get some minutes as we move ahead.

I'm wondering how long of a stretch can ViVi and KayKay play and still put out 100%. Right now I'd say about 8 minutes before they get gassed. That will improve some with time but I think we will still be better off playing them for intervals that keep them aggressive and fresh. I see no dropoff between the two of them now.

I think the problem you are addressing goes back to a lack of leadership that some have previously discussed. The off season is the time for the team leaders to push others to excel in all areas and that includes conditioning. You expect seniors step up and be the leaders. I don't think that happened and some are not in great shape.

Well, in defense of these post players, Sherri does tend to push for more possessions than less.
