Game Thread: (#11/10) Lady Vols 76 - Tennessee Tech 48

Get horston out. Good grief

 

[cwbytruckers]

Jordan gets on my freaking nerves with her turnovers

 

[VolBall09]

Jordan has got to stop the one handed baseball pass. It’s terrible and doesn’t work for her at all. Take two dribbles there and make the two handed pass leading Tamari to the basket.

 

[Voluble2]

She had the right idea but didn't loft the ball enough to get it past the opposing player.

 

[casetopia]

Key and Wynn standing next to each other is so funny

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Alexus shooting jumpers, looking good.

 

[Voluble2]

Key is not under the basket to clean those drives up and the perimeter players aren't used to having to stay in front and not overplay.

 

[casetopia]

We've got to work on passing

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Defense looking better, I think words were said by the Coaches at the break.

 

[Voluble2]

We've got to work on passing

Yes. That is a hallmark of our program that Kellie has not been able to fix.

 

[ttharp]

REBOUND, ladies.

 

[Voluble2]

Miles needs to take that shot when she is open instead of giving to someone who is closely guarded.

 

[Vols2015]

Offensively look fine, but defensively need to tighten things up badly. I don’t know why we are playing zone, we need to play more man; way too many open threes!

Dye is looking exceptional from that 10-15 jump shot range. I think she is going to be a key component to open up the paint some. Darby shooting 3s is going to be vital too, so happy to see her start to come alive. Horston just needs to calm down on turnovers, the ladies should pull this out. Keyen Green is doing well too!

 

[LadyOrange]

Perfect for the other team. You want to draw Key out and not have her contesting shots inside. And if you can do it with a player who is no threat to score outside then even the better.

Teams had a lot of success doing this against us last year.

They are playing man.

 

[chuckiepoo]

They are playing man.

That's how they are getting Key to switch out onto the perimeter.

 

[xtpsrh08123]

That halftime clip of Candace speaking to the team was ICONIC! Coach worthy if you ask me

 

[xtpsrh08123]

At this point I think we all know Jordan is going to turn it over a few times but I’d take everything else she brings and live with the turnovers tbh. She’s our best player right now this season period.

 

[chuckiepoo]

ugh...8 turnovers.

 

[Volinnooga]

Score? Quarter?

 

[chuckiepoo]

Score? Quarter?

38-30 at the half.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Candace is a great Lady Vol!

 

[Voluble2]

They are playing man.

That makes it easy for the opposing coach to put Key where she wants her.

Everything Kellie mentioned as being a problem on defense at the half is a consequence of Key being on the perimeter instead of anchoring the inside. And you don't have to play zone to get her there.

[Voluble2]

Time to put the hammer down and don't let them hang around.

This is another game that further cements my resolve to wait until the game is over to discuss it. lol
