Game Thread: (#11/10) Lady Vols 64 - Va Tech 58

[ttharp]

It’s looking like we’re gonna go into the Stanford game with an undefeated record, which is great accomplishment considering Rae being out. This team is so resilient!

 

[Memvol44]

This game will end all talk about being a top 10 team.

False,wouldn't you say?

 

[Volfan2012]

Glad the game is over Ref would call the girls for traveling back home to Knoxville.

 

[Rickster]

Like that we gutted out a win. Good teams find a way to overcome adversity and this game had plenty of that.

8-0 Baby!

 

[Memvol44]

Puckett is everything we wanted Darby to be.

Sara is a forward,Darby us a guard .

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Tag them lls! I dare you!

You know i just got reprimanded for calling one out ...

 

[creekdipper]

This is an easy team to love.

Hope we have a huge turnout for Stanford game. I know two who will be driving 100 miles to be there.

This is third game or so where in the 3rd quarter, it seems like "oh, this is not our night' and then they find a way late in the 4th. Honestly, this has run of tight down to the wire games has been great to watch but I am ready for some 25 point blow outs where you can drink a beer and just chill down the stretch.

 

[Memvol44]

one thing this LV team has is loads of GRIT!

Yes, what a gritty win!!

Me too! From ATL

A flipping miracle. Kellie manufactured this one running plays for Puckett. Tamari saved the day on the fourth quarter.

Believe the correct term is "coached"

 

[Volfan2012]

Sarah is a lot like Sid Spencer and play inside and pop out and make shots on the perimeter. The big difference is Sid did not play in there as a freshman that came later as a senior mostly.

 

[Memvol44]

Those are some serious eyelashes..

She almost looked like she is crying...

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Ref called traveling on Tess and Dye for catching the ball. Called two on Tamari on moves to the basket and one on Green on her patented shot.

That's why this game made your hair turn grayer by the second.

Manufacturing a win is a very good thing. That was a compliment.

 

[Volfan2012]

Sara is a forward,Darby us a guard .

Sara is what is called a stretch four she can take you inside and take you on the perimeter as well. She is coming along nicely.

 

[VolBall09]

Ref called traveling on Tess and Dye for catching the ball. Called two on Tamari on moves to the basket and one on Green on her patented shot.

Puckett got tagged with one or two. One on the catch and one on the shot I believe.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I noticed the same thing .... I thought she was about to at times.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

I'd like to see a breakdown on film of those "traveling" calls, when all we did was catch it and take one step for it to be called. What are the rules here? Any experts out there? I noticed Harper was very upset with the refs about it a couple of times. She gave them a lot of stuff about it.

tess did not get beat by a drive to the basket she played good defence but she had trouble getting a shot off for va tect defence and refs

We had 17 turnovers and more than 50% of them were travel calls. That’s just weird officiating.

Haven't seen it this year the number was astonishing.

That comparison is an interesting one and I can see. it. Sara does seem to be significantly ahead of where Sid was in her freshman in terms of all round skill set. She also seems a little stronger but Sid was probably more agile.

Super impressed in the comeback. I may Have had some Negative things to say about this game , but once again this team comes through in a tough road game. So proud of these Lady Vols. What Kellie has done without Rae is amazing. Let’s go ladies !
JoJo is player of the game per Mickey. TK with 11 points and 12 rebounds and Jordy made huge shots late . I will also say Sara and BK both had great games . It was a team effort and at the end of the day, we are walking out with a W.

Without Sara, we lose that game..
