Game Thread: (13/10) Lady Vols 66 - Vanderbilt 52

[VolBall09]

Here we go, let’s go Jordy! First time wearing your shirt for luck

 

[Voltopia]

Look at Darby. DARBY. She's right there! All alone! She's your shooter! Dangit. Just hanging out at the three point line with no one around.

 

[casetopia]

Tess squeeze the rebound quit giving it away.

 

[Majors]

Jaloni Cambridge statement game…I’m sure she’s paying attention for family reasons and personal.

 

[casetopia]

Already careless turnovers.

 

[casetopia]

Get walker out.

 

[Volstylexx]

Playing like we’re still asleep.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Walker’s ball handling is horrendous.

 

[Volstylexx]

Poor Darby. Her defense has vastly improved but she still has a long way to go.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Idk who looks worse, Walker or Key.

 

[casetopia]

Walker’s ball handling is horrendous.

She's awful. Can't stand her game.

 

[Majors]

Poor Darby. Her defense has vastly improved but she still has a long way to go.

just gave up a big 3 with the shot clock running down because of a juke.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

So far, one handed pass too low from Horston to Key-turnover, ball stolen from Walker, air ball by Horston. Sara in, maybe she can help.

 

[VolBall09]

Trying to be “poised” instead of just playing basketball. Looks a lot like the start of the Auburn game so far. Vandy hitting crossover strep back 3s and we are loafing around on offense.

Moving slower doesn’t mean you’ll turn it over less. Make a move toward the basket and draw the foul. They can’t guard our size in the paint and with the over play they are out of position is you attack their hip.

 

[casetopia]

Same old half assed effort early on.

 

[NoBackBoard]

We did well getting the ball inside earlier in the season but now we can’t. Our timing is off again and Key isn’t as assertive as she needs to be. When she’s open they don’t get her the ball and when they finally do she’s covered.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

One handed passes must stop, Horston and Miles both do it.

 

[Vols2015]

Vandy isn’t doing anything special on defense, just a traditional full court press, but our players are trying to do fancy dribble (off foot bounces) and passing when there’s no spacing for our players to catch. It’s all our own mistakes for the turnovers thus far. You can’t force it down into Key either, do some penetration and she’ll be open.

 

[Voluble2]

Key didn't come to meet the ball on that one turnover. That was on her.

Horston got her the ball up high but she was moving backwards.

 

[casetopia]

Nice pass Darby smh

 

[Voluble2]

That pass from Darby was a horrifically bad decision.

 

[SGMVols]

It would be a minor miracle if this team ever got through a first quarter with less than 5 turnovers

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Rae needs to quick shoot, not dribble.

 

[volnationnj]

We did well getting the ball inside earlier in the season but now we can’t. Our timing is off again and Key isn’t as assertive as she needs to be. When she’s open they don’t get her the ball and when they finally do she’s covered.

This.
Maybe it would be better if we just faked passes to Key, let the defense collapse on her, then pass to someone else for the shot. Let Key, primarily, go for offensive rebounds. At least until we can get the ball into Key safely.

 

[Volstylexx]

5 turnovers by TN with 3 mins still to go in the first quarter..
