Thank goodness for rebounding and defense.

With that Darby turnover the only player in our team without a turnover this game is Miles.

 

[37620VOL]

Four out of the last five plays have been a turnover. Unbelievable

Love how the tide has turned for Horston the smoke she received from certain posters her freshmen year now they praise and kiss her feet lol

Well that didn't take long.

Yeah its really amazing how many fans acutal decent play wins over, right? Give me a break.

 

[NoBackBoard]

26-14 lead at halftime.

 

[glv98]

Glad its halftime. Need Jordan to catch her breath and composure. Was just thinking now we need her to stay calm and collected and deadly.

Dye seems to get gassed alot. She's a very good player though.

 

[zaqhhh]

They are up 12 on the road against a Tourney team at half.

I want to knock them because this is pretty ugly, but in light of the above I’ll take it.

 

[37620VOL]

So how many here would have predicted a double digit lead at halftime if you had known that we would have 16 turnovers in the half and Key's stat line would read 0 points 3 rebounds?

 

[th2421]

Ugly at times but I like this team a lot. So scrappy, really tough on defense early in the season.

 

[Amb3096]

Thank goodness for rebounding and defense.

Yeah, this is saving them today. That and Horston making some very timely shots.

12 point lead at the half, and I think they played better defense WITHOUT Tamari.

 

[Volfan2012]

They are having a tough time with our defense because of our length. For the most part for them it has been one and done on shots. If Key can stay on the floor in the second half of the game we should be able to extend this in the third and fourth quarters and get this win.

Not me. I'm surprised at how well they defended without her on the court.

 

[Rickster]

13-2 run to close out the half

 

[Volfan2012]

16 turnovers yet we lead by 12. Have to stop turning it over Key needs to make some layups.

 

[Orange Maniac]

A trip on one end must not be equal to a trip on the other end. I guess it doesn’t count if it’s on Horston. These officials are vulnerable to flopping so we should try it ourselves.

 

[glv98]

At this point, Key is a liability. So, so frustrating.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Puckett needs to get in the weight room over the summer since she’s defending post players. She keeps falling down on defense when they post her up.

She has been doing extremely tough workouts for years.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Unranked UCF shooting 16%, with only 4 field goals, and Tennessee only winning by 12.

Going to be a long season.

Thats a lot to swallow for anyone. Starting to sweat Emily a little bit though.

 

[Volfan2012]

Just need a big third quarter put up 20 points on them should put us in great position to win this game.

 

[Volfan2012]

I can't see them shooting that bad in the second half although I hope they do. We need to get some inside points with Key they shouldn't be able to stop her.

 

[glv98]

JH is so long and tall. I swear she's still growing.

 

[Volfan2012]

If we had a good passer at point guard Horston could post up and score a lot of points. She has to be the passer.

Yes hopefully Walker can come back strong in the second half. Then Jordan can really go to town.
