Game Thread: (11) Lady Vols 67 - (12) Indiana 79

[Vols2015]

Lady Vols better wake up tonight and play like they want to win. No drama, no defensive droughts, and take care of the ball! Lady Vols being home should help tonight, but basketball is more unpredictable than it ever has been.

Key should have her way in the paint, but will she be demanding in getting the ball? How bad does she want it? To be determined.

i figured she would back in the because she has been moving around from the clips i've seen

I was wondering about her, was hoping she was going to play tonight. Well, that leaves more shots for Jackson. She'll be the leading scorer in the game.

 

[Coach Jumper]

will it be...?
Jackson
Darby
Key
Powell
Franklin

How many fans will be there tonight for the big game? I’m thinking 9-12k hopefully.

Earlier than usual time on a weekday is not conducive to drawing a big crowd. 7,000 - 8,000. Which would be the top attendance for 98% of division 1 schools.

IF no horston , we are going to need the freshmen Rickea tonight to pull off a 35 point scoring performance. 1-2 is looking likely unless these ladies play with a sense of urgency and pride on the boards and with ball control. I hate to see my team in this predicament once again for 2nd consecutive season injury riddled.

Welp hopefully they come out on time , i just realized this is an ESPN game so makes sense for kelly to leave VM's about the start time to the local fans.

 

[Rickster]

Probably not going to get ESPN to change the timing.

Most likely because they were hoping to get the UCONN- Texas game til Fox got the rights to all UCONN home games. So they slide Us in and just say hey get the people there . One would think Tenn vs Indiana would not be that prime of a matchup for ESPN but indiana has improved a lot . Worried about Holmes and Berger going awf on us tonight. Berger cant shoot and holmes is slow but they are smart players who know how to score . We have yet to see that from our players other than Jordy so far.

Franklin would be helpful in winning the boards….not sure how well she can defend a wing player on the perimeter, but that would be her likely assignment tonight if so.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

I’m going to need them not settle for threes. Also look to establish the post early.

[Volfaninfl2]

Powell for 3!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Hope we got a lot of kids at the game, that always helps.

 

[volnationnj]

Subs already for the LV's. Less than 4 minutes in.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Playing with energy and confidence! I like it.

 

[FrozenLVFan]

Good job, Franklin. Key needs to keeps her ass on the bench until she decides to box out and not jog back on defense.

Rickea is no Freshman, she’s a Senior and one of the best players in the country.

Yeah, but they brought Franklin in, need her for boards with Jordy out…

 

[RAVOL]

Guard from Indiana very smooth. Getting open looks just need to knock down few more. Rickea is aggressive which I like. In CHRIST Alone

 

[volnationnj]

UT up 10-9 with a timeout. We're shooting well. Powell with 6, Jackson with 4.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Need Tamari to rebound.
