Does anyone know why Tyler didn't come out of the locker room with the team for the 2nd half? Shortly into the 2nd half Tyler and Coach Newton entered the media room using the door by the locker room entrance and a few minutes later came out the door by the bench. During that time C. Viv took a quick time out. Pretty much as soon as Tyler came back C. Viv put her back in the game. Maybe she wasn't feeling well? C. Viv did take her out of the game for longer amounts of time in the first half than she usually does.
 
I noticed that also. Her shot was off in the first half and she was tentative with the ball much of the game. I the second half she created some shots and had a nice touch. However, she had a few passes stolen late in the game and missed two one-and-one free throws when we needed them.

I am wondering if she is putting too much pressure n herself. She could have had an injury or didn't feel well but I really hope things work out.
 
Tyler was definitely off last night...but even then she is capable of hitting shots, she hit some big ones in a spurt that put us up 10 in the 2nd half to give breathing room. However in the last few minutes, she wasn't good and was pressing too much on the court...bad turnover and missing two one and ones.
 
from the game thread (with thanks to RUClassof67):

"It was obvious that something was physically wrong
with Tyler tonight. Each time she came out of the game she went over to
the end of the bench near the trainer. She didn't come out for the
start of the 2nd half and was in and out of the lineup."
 
I thought something was wrong too. There was no mention of anything in the post game press conference and not even a question about it. I was thinking that she was under the weather. It was just strange they would go into the media room for about 3 or 4 minutes though...
 
I felt very bad for Tyler last night. I do not know the reason, but she was not feeling well. Amazing how these women play through pain and sickness.
 
Hope she is OK, for her health and comfort.

Also, hope she can make the road trips coming up.
 
Tyler suffers from migraine headaches. Was this the reason for a sub-par performance? We really don't know.

And there are varied reasons why a female player may have a sub par performance or an absence.
