Game Thread: (13/10) Lady Vols 76 - Missouri 62

Rae is really trying way too hard right hard. She’s not the answer for offense right now. She needs to understand her role when it’s time to play that role, and then everything else will fall into its own.
 
Great run and then a horrible last 30 seconds. This team just has that not grasped that NOBODY is going to give it to you. You have to have the pedal down all the time.

The way MIZZOU shoots the 3 there is really no lead in this game that will be safe the way we turn over the ball.

Don’t turn the ball over and MIZZOU can shoot 60% and make 10 3 and we will still beat them by 25.
 
And btw, that was a horrible end to half. Was completely dominating and then poor shot selection and clock awareness by Rae, collapse of defense on final possession, allowed them to close.
 
Letting a ten point lead get cut in half in one minute is regrettable, but it's better than being behind at the half so. I never know if it's intentional or not, but I appreciated the Missouri gal taking a shot with 44 seconds left; getting a guaranteed last possession is sharp.

Right!? No one turns on a game and is like “I love this Team!“ in the midst of a 10-0 run by the other team lol

Yep, the whole point of sports is to let the emotions out you normally cannot express during daily life. Everyone needs an activity like that to be sane.

Just can't hit the shots. If we'd hit the shots that were open and made more free throws we have a 15 point lead. Were really challenged offensively.

She’s playing hero ball and I HATE it.

Jordy is bringing it though.

Rae 1 for 6 and Dye a no show has hurt us. Hopefully some of the shots will fall in the second half.
 
This team isn’t good enough to have mental lapses like the last minute of that half. They definitely aren’t going to have another zero turnover quarter in this game. The longer Mizzou hangs around, the more they’ll start to believe they can win.
 
We need to go directly inside and tag a 4th on Williams immediately out of the half.

Probably better to get her by forcing the switch onto Horston or Puckett. They will not call fouls for Tamari even when she’s literally tackled.

That old female official hates Tamari. The MIZZOU player was armbarring and shoving her before the inbound and that idiot walked over there and got in TKs grill about it. TK gets absolutely hammered on every possession and can’t buy a call. Kellie needs to bring it up in every presser the rest of the season.

Kim used to go to bat for Griner all the time. It was the same with her. Players were allowed to punch, hit, slap, shove and hold her without any consequence. Finally resulted in her decking someone which was not a good look, but finally bought her a little space. That’s what it comes to when the officials allow play like that though. It’s not basketball.
