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

[Dak1219]

This is is your first post in the thread? Nothing about how they won against a team projected in the field? A win that will likely help their net rating?Nothing about her breaking the 0-2 streak TN was riding?

Ah ok... cool

PS obviously your confidence in Kellie is growing because you didn't even consider her losing the game before Stanford! Way to go!!!

We have already beaten four teams that will most likely be in the field; USF, UCF, Texas, and now VT. A pretty good way to start a season!

Yes! i agree and building a good resume. I said i still expect a bump or two along the way but i think this team would use it as momentum to get better. These ladies understand their roles and that's helping

One thing the Lady Vols love doing is snapping streaks we snapped VT 63 non conference game winning streak at home and last season we snapped South Carolina SEC win streak (forgot how many games it was)

Knowing he's getting hammered makes me wish for a minute that I didn't have him on ignore. But then again............

You're not missing anything. Same ole Darth.

S.C. had won 31 in a row and was coming close to breaking the Lady Vols record of 36.

"The No. 21 Tennessee women's basketball team upset No. 2 South Carolina 75-67 on Thursday, ending the Gamecocks' 31-game SEC winning streak.
It was the second-longest streak in conference history, behind Tennessee's 36-game streak in 2010-12. South Carolina's last loss to an SEC foe was against Arkansas in the quarterfinals of the 2019 SEC tournament on March 8, 2019."

Outstanding win! Finally the fun, scrappy, mentally tough team of our dreams. I was praying JH and TK would step up and dang if everyone else hasn't come right along for the ride. It's always someone coming up huge in crucial spurts. They seem to actually play better when they're behind. So poised! We're not used to that. May it continue.

How about Miles and Puckett? So weird, the exact two frosh we expected less from are far beyond my wildest dream. Imagine when Miles learns how to shoot? She is so cool and is ringing up a ton of experience minutes. Puckett looks like a born scorer and an extremely hard worker. Love her development. Remember development?

Green gives us quality mins. Especially when we get Rae back, we'll have a decent bench. Need Darby to stay on the upward path.

Would never have thought we could have survived an off game fm Horston today. Good for her hanging in and coming up big, with some pretty wonky lookin shots, at the end. I also noticed and love KJH coaching her up immediately. I think she'll be fine.

Obviously a stellar job so far by KJH and staff. Does Jon get any love for TK's recent performance?

Can't wait for the Stanford game!

I think Joy McCorvey has been working with the post players and Kellie said in a recent press conference that Joy has been a huge influence on Tamari's recent development and newfound confidence. I don't really care where it comes from, I just feel that Tamari oozes next-level potential and I think the best is yet to come!!!

Great interview.

Nice game Jordan!

 

[Rickster]

Yet he calls himself a fan, he is probably one of the ones keeping recruits from us by going to these gyms and telling these recruits not to pick Tennessee! The truth is coming to the light lls

I thought he was a Georgia fan.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

I thought he was a Georgia fan.

So did I

 

[J-Dog 1313]

Nice game Jordan!

We should not forget or overlook that Jordan W is only 10 points shy of 1000 career points and that she averaged 16 ppg her last season at CMU. In short, she can score the ball and will be that added punch the LVs need this season. Along with Puckett, the LVs have developed several additional scoring options that bode well for the rest of the season. GBO.

If you didn't care mikey, you wouldn't respond...

We care that you know that we don't care about your negative Nancy opinions.

Tamari getting some respect .. Kenny Brooks is saying their isn't a center like her in the ACC

Brooks also noted that he recruited Key and remained close to her family – and that she affected Kitley on offense, and she “won’t see a center like that for the rest of the year.”

Clearly DPOY SEC named her to the defensive team last season please she should have won it Co with Boston

Eh, you should leave the trash talk to mikey. You suck at it...

“She (Jordan Horston) was in foul trouble … and it was hard to get her back in the rhythm and the flow of the game,” Harper said. “And at one point I got after her pretty good in the game. The post-game was basically me hugging her and telling her that’s why. At the end of the game, she made some plays that we absolutely had to have. I was proud of her.

“And I wanted to remind her that’s why and make sure she always knows that if I’m coaching her tough, I am always going to support her.”

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

If VT gets those types of officials in there to Ref non-conference games, no wonder they were on a 63-day win streak against non-conference teams at home for so long..............

 

[FormerLadyVolFan]

Always good to read about the game from the opponent's perspective...

Who needs to trash talk someone like you? Do you really claim to be anything other than a parody account?

 

[cwbytruckers]

Have you ever saw so many walks called?

On one team? No.

 

[Texas]

Great win. Way to gut it out. How it took so long to challenge Shepherd is bothersome. Whatever Kelly did or just said in the huddle worked, because she was completely taken out of the game after that. Wish they would’ve stopped her after 3 or 4 tho.
hope the bright spots get brighter yet. Puckett, Dye and Walker in particular.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Watching the gsme for a second time in really starting to notice more fundamental team basketball than what we saw even last year. Sometimes ball mkvement isnt ad good as it sbould be. But you can see a purpose for each possesion on kffense and defense.
