Game Thread: (12/8) Lady Vols 64 - Alabama 74

[pasadenavol]

Offensive spacing is off and they're not running motion, looks like slow motion. Compare their movement to the guys' team...

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Slow footwork and poor shooting are a bad combination.

 

[orange beard]

Horston might as well stay on the bench!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Only down by 9 points. Kellie should light their butts up good at halftime.

We aren't getting our usual offensive rebounds.

We got beat that half.

At least she had a good rest because she will have to carry the team back like usual in the second half.

 

[Ovol]

Key boxes out but then doesn’t release and go for the ball. Just lets it hit the floor.

 

[dtnvol]

This crap is so ridiculous...playing like an unranked team...SC up next...disappointing, disappointing, disappointing...

 

[zaqhhh]

I keep trying to convince myself this team can make it to the Elite 8 but I can't. We are horrible at fundamentals especially considering our talent level.

 

[Vols2015]

Did that reporter just really say “congrats” to the Alabama coach? Lol WTH, the game isn’t even over yet, it’s halftime?

Bigley.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

They actually can. If you don’t defend them this Bama team can really shoot. Nobody has a desire to play defense tonight for the Lady Vols. Can’t win that way.

It isn't a lack of desire. Why do you say that? They are quicker, and have a good game plan.

One of the most uninspired halves of playing I have ever seen from the Lady Vols.

 

[VolBall09]

They aren’t calling any fouls for a change but we aren’t using it to our advantage at all. We have been the more passive team all game. No physicality on either end. Especially not on the glass.

Kellie is going to lose her voice at halftime.

 

[Hoosier]

this is just pitiful ---- why do the LVs opponents always want it more than they do?

 

[I4Vols]

Lovely one handed pass to the bleachers from Horston.

Her head is not in the game

 

[pasadenavol]

Cut the lead to 5 and then switch to a zone to keep their guards from penetrating. They've hit so many lay ups by simply getting by their defender. Help side defense is too slow, so what do you do? Go to a zone and make them try to beat you from outside. Their 3 point shooting will cool off.

Embarrassing

We are not playing with any desire or determination on defense. This Alabama team does not matchup with us at all. If our guards would even attempt to keep their man in front we would have a 10 point lead instead of an 8 point deficit.

Only down by 9 points. Kellie should light their butts up good at halftime.

Don’t think it’s effective if you have to do it every game.

 

[VolBall09]

Her head is not in the game

And that’s why her butt went to the bench.

 

[Majors]

One of the most uninspired halves of playing I have ever seen from the Lady Vols.

That and CKH being seen all over trying to inspire her team to be tough in the locker room clip doesn’t seem this team is heading in the right direction.

 

[Ovol]

Y’all remember how UK beat our guys in Kentucky a while back? Probably gonna see the same kinda whipping in Columbia Sunday. Good chance these girls lose out if they are gonna play like this.

 

[Voluble2]

We aren't getting our usual offensive rebounds.

We got beat that half.

That is what I was saying. That is how you beat us because we hardly ever hit our first shot, especially in the post.

 

[Volfan2012]

You have to wonder what happened to the defense. Guess Green kept everybody working cause tonight were not getting after it. Just two Bama turnovers and they usually turn it over double digits.
