Game Thread: (11/12) Lady Vols vs. Rutgers

[zaqhhh]

Hate that I can’t watch this morning, but are the LadyVols playing much better, or is RU just that bad?

Rutgers isn’t very good but it’s still an impressive performance

Minus two on turnovers as that second group committed about 8. We have 11 they have 9 turnovers. Rebounds Tennessee 26 to 12.

They are playing really well. Rutgers hasn't been able to slow the pace, so we're pounding away at will.

Brillant use of our incredible depth to just overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers and force.

Definitely imposing our will!

We’re playing much better. I honestly feel as if the hockey style substitution pattern wasn’t that bad. Except the third group that went in - I feel like that’s when our turnovers started to increase.

The starting lineup with Horston returning and Darby instead of Walker is gold.

Love that Powell is looking to be more of a distributor this game.

U can see the defender overplaying but they still pass the ball. Maybe fake it or cut and come back.

We have 5 players who do this, no need to name them.

Wow! Lady Vols playing excellent ball! Awesome outside e shooting and team playing! If only we could cut down on the turnovers!

Only 5 TOs from the starters & they played 2x the minutes of the backups. In only 11 minutes of PT Miles and Suarez committed 4 of the TOs.

Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttt???

I did say radical.

A few of her passes to Jackson were pure gold.

Excellent 2nd quarter. I think we made at least 5 treys in that quarter--maybe 6. We have 8 at the half. A nice surprise.

Tess moving shoting 3 this year. when Darby in there open offence up.

A more ingenious way of getting the backups minutes. Starters played well. Sub's turnovers show more seasoning is required. Subs should get a lot of minutes.

If we played a schedule like LSU this is what it would look like lol

 

[Volfan2012]

We have our starting five everybody else is previewing for the backups. Everybody getting their chance in the game up to them to show they belong as subs four or five will make it. Looks like Marta and Franklin are solid. Miles looks strong as well. In this game a lot of mistakes by Justine Pissot, Holllingshead, and Puckett. Still time for anyone to make an impression.

 

[Fatoldman]

WOW!


Who were those women and what happened to the Lady Vols?

Well they are playing better so that is good. But Rutgers is not Ohio State, Indiana or even UMASS. Still encouraging though. Two losses may have woken up this team.

 

[Volfan2012]

Tess Darby with four rebounds and a steal her game is really coming on every game.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Excellent 2nd quarter. I think we made at least 5 treys in that quarter--maybe 6. We have 8 at the half. A nice surprise.

Hope it becomes a habit.

 

[Volfan2012]

Massey said Lady Vols by nine so unless Rutgers makes some kind of run that is not going to be even close.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Defense!

 

[volfan__18]

powell the assist maker. whoah!!!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Lost the game on Roku, had to find again.

 

[Volfan2012]

Everybody playing great today. Jordan Horston 8 points in a row.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Great post, so true.

[Volfaninfl2]

Sara for 3!

 

[Volfan2012]

We need to play in this gym 50 percent from the three and a 35 point lead.
