The trademark of Kim has always been... No Hustle = No Play.
Yet Brown continues to give uninspired efforts and see's the floor.
Either she is hurt, trying to round into shape, or lacking effort.
Time for Mulkey to have a "Come to Jesus" meeting with her All American.

I still want to know why Aquira Decosta is still not playing?

I agree with the proposition that Kalani has not hit her stride yet, for whatever reasons. Mulkey reduced her minutes in the preseason games, and a slight injury kept her out of one game, so she has not been as actively engaged in this season thus far as she was last season. Of course, other teams scheme to stop her, and so she always faces double teams and is usually fronted as well as backed by defenders. We still get turnovers trying to force the ball into her occasionally, but generally now they are taking the shots that defenders offer them because of the attention that Kalani commands throughout the game. That is a good thing and should be encouraged.

Another factor is that Kalani plays with such ease and with a calm, composed demeanor that it sometimes gives the appearance of a lack of effort. I think that she is still trying to get a rhythm out there...and the effort by Mulkey to get minutes for her talented young frosh players means that Kalani and Lauren will play less minutes until they get to the upper level teams later on their schedule.

I have no doubt that the lack of players like Kristy Wallace and Morris as facilitators has also played into the current dilemma. Those two could score, but more importantly, they could get the ball into the post in a timely manner, whereas of late the ball is not arriving at a time when Kalani can do much with it. She should be catching the ball, passing it back out, and resetting to a better position to put it up. Many times she is too deep to get the proper angle to put the ball in off the board, and the players passing the ball into her should not do so when she is not in the appropriate position. Morris and Wallace were much better at that.

Does anyone know what happened to Lashaun Higgs with Texas? I just saw a pic and she is on crutches.

Getting Decosta back will be big for us.

I agree with what you said to a point. KB lost her guarding responsibility at least three times and left her wide open. Those were 3of the made threes. KM had to take her out. The most frustrating thing to me is failure to finish from point blank range after being fouled, a lot like Vital on the men's side. Stiill I am so glad she is on my team.

Y'all are so ignorant. Maybe she has had a off game or 2 but don't discredit her. Don't act like this team doesn't need Kalani. I'm pretty sure Kim knows what she's doing with her All American which is why she see's the floor.

Like I said CKM knows what she's doing with her ALL AMERICAN which is why she will continue to see the floor and to follow that just like someone else just said she is the last thing to be concerned about. Now run along!
