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

[VolBall09]

Oh my Lord no! Andy is back!!!

Looks like he went to rehab.

 

[UT Challenger]

What has happened to Dye. Looks like she has just quit playing. And why is Horston the only player to look for Key inside??????

 

[RAVOL]

Rae 1 for 6 and Dye a no show has hurt us. Hopefully some of the shots will fall in the second half.

Dye has been a no show for awhile now. When she just ran over the defender instead of pulling up shooting 8 footer I said she has got to go to the bench. In CHRIST Alone

 

[VolBall09]

Our turnovers have primary been in first quarters. If we could shake the jitters and not spot our opponent 8 possession every first quarter it would take a crap ton of pressure off our defense.

Horston is the only one who can make the high inlet pass to Key.

Horston is the only one who can make the high inlet pass to Key.

The pick and roll is open all night with Key. She should score 25 points tonight

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Frustrating to see us miss some bunnies, forcesome off-balanced shots, and make lazy passes that are intercepted. Also frustrating to see us miss free throws in the second qtr. I think we are much better than this Mizzou team, and should be farther ahead than 5 points. Let's hope we can clean it up and focus in the 2nd half.

Her ball movement is shaky, but she’s produced some quality minutes for us with Greene’s injury.

I think she's playing well, with the exception of one lazy pass I saw her make and a turnover.

Would have liked a bit bigger lead at home but after 3/4 losses, this is fine.

Missed some short shots/layups, missed way too many free throws, Rae still not a team player/not 100% quick yet, team had 8 TOs,
Good stuff no TOs in 2Q, Miles really pesky, good rebounding, seemed to get Key more involved in 2Q & Horston contribution

2H no silly fouls or TOs, hit a few more FTs, get Key involved, & let Horston be Horston.
Kelly might need to get a technical to fire this team up a bit more

 

[therealitytheory]

Somebody already mentioned it, but Puckett has been careless with the ball of late. She doesn't see the kind of speed in practice that teams like FL and UConn possess - maybe that's part of it.

Apparently Mizzou has been coached to elbow and prod Key wherever she goes. Broken record that I am, I really wish we'd get her the ball down low more often.

She’s playing hero ball and I HATE it.

Jordy is bringing it though.

She‘s (jordy) also playing hero ball and I LOVE it.

best friends off the court. They trust each other. In a recent interview Horston said she just tosses it down there sometimes (not even seeing her) because she knows Key will get it.. lol

 

[Voluble2]

Dye finally helping.

 

[pasadenavol]

OMG a pick and roll...yay!

 

[Voluble2]

Not sure what Walker thinks she is going to do dribbling into the post like that.

 

[Volstylexx]

MO in some big foul trouble.

 

[pasadenavol]

DYE!!! Yes, looking like she did earlier this season!!!

 

[Volstylexx]

WOW what a pass and catch from Horston to Dye

 

[therealitytheory]

Somebody found Dye's on switch.

 

[pasadenavol]

Ok ladies, this is what we expected to see!!! Good job, keep it going!!!

 

[VolBall09]

Now this is the ball team I recognize!!! Keep the pedal down ladies.

Robin will get them fire up, gotta keep bringing the D. They cannot score against us right now. Great team play

 

[I4Vols]

Dye finally helping.

Dye is killing them
Like her hustle, when she hustles

 

[VolBall09]

The fact that she can run the floor like that and doesn’t every play needs to change. That girl is FAST.

 

[Vols2015]

Dye! Please let this be your resurgence!
