NCAA Tournament Game Thread - (4) Ohio State vs (5) Lady Vols

[VOLINVONORE]

Either Kim adapts her style to the higher level of competition or she’ll be out of here 2-3 years from today. D2 ball doesn’t win D1 championships.

We all new here hat a lot of teams were going to have more talent than us this season. I am still surprised at how well we have played this year. We will get better each year. Our talent level will improve next year and continue in the future.

Four fouls called on Tennessee, zero on Ohio State.

8 to their 2

 

[Voltopia]

Tennessee headed straight for the dreaded "10 point quarter" hole.

Happy to be wrong! Avoiding that hole with a 17 point quarter and keeping up with Ohio State was crucial to competing to advance, and they got it done.

 

[Bigkat]

Call some fouls!! Smh

 

[Orange931]

These announcers don’t think Ohio State fouls at all

 

[LadyVol1908]

Seems like we settled down and in! We have to stop fouling so much!

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Clear foul on that last shot. If this game starts getting called even remotely close to evenly, Lady Vols win by double digits.

 

[VolBalls33]

Wtf was that last shot by Darby?? Bomb away from 3 instead right there.

 

[westtnvoljackson]

Come on Tess

 

[Vols2015]

Much better close to the quarter, but we need to finish and start each quarter with high energy, effort and stops.

 

[volforlife10]

tess is in to shoot threes yet drives and gets it blocked. lord…

 

[JCP201]

Can't believe it's this close since we had to play the refs too

 

[And1]

no way OSU only fouled twice during 1Q. If the refs keep this up there is little chance

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

It’s their house we not gone get certain calls

Could be a real integrity check with the refs. They have bumped us off the ball 2-3 times minimum. We are missing our own layups.

 

[VolBall09]

Getting what we want just have to settle down and finish. Missed a lot of good looks at the rim in that quarter.

 

[volforlife10]

no way OSU only fouled twice during. If the refs keep this up there is little chance

we have to drive more and get fouls called. we settle for shots when we need to drive the ball.

 

[VolBall09]

OSU is playing faster , stronger, and quicker than we are. They are beating us down the.court and putting more pressure on us than we are putting on them.

I think we are deeper. As long as we can keep it close we have a chance late

 

[Voluble2]

Darby has to take that three there even if she eats it. She has no other game.

 

[chuckiepoo]

First four minutes. Focus now!

If that happens 2nd quarter we're in deep trouble.

 

[GameTime]

Seems like we are a fouling machine....This is BS.

 

[volforlife10]

tess and jewel are getting beat on the defensive end everytime. they have got to stay in front of their girls.

 

[RespectAPA]

Still in it. We've gotten thru their press so far, but haven't been able to convert it into many 2s. Just halfcourt sets. Need more transition offense if we're going to win this one: you have to make pressing teams pay when you get by them. Take your 4v3s and 3v2s with aggression.

 

[Scotty4lvs]

After a day of watching some really beautifully played games and quality fundamental hoops, that helter skelter mess was hard to watch

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

KIm needs to be in these officials faces.
