Game Thread: (#15/12) Lady Vols 59 - Southern Illinois 49

[Voluble2]

Looks like Burrell will need to carry them to this win. She could end up with a career high at this clip.

She has had zero help.

Ugly basketball. Announcers are struggling too.

 

[Voluble2]

Dye showing why she has such good rebounding stats there.

 

[djtee]

I could be wrong but i don`t see this team beating SC,GA,Ole Miss, KY LSU ?

 

[Vol67]

On a scale of 1 to 10 this team right now is a 5

 

[87&91ALUM]

Dye for a score. Nice.

 

[Voluble2]

Wynn was a foot off on her three there.

She is apparently a very poor shooter going by what she has shown in the first couple of games.

 

[casetopia]

Is this southern Illinois or south Carolina?

 

[FrozenLVFan]

Nice play by Striplin.

 

[westtnvoljackson]

We are an injury away from a disastrous season. Officiating is horrific but defense is lacking.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Ok, that’s better.

 

[Bigkat]

Maybe a long year for Lady Vols!!

Rae Burrell

That's being a bit generous, especially considering how bad SIU is and how prevalent giant blowouts in WCBB openers are, but the third/fourth quarters will be a totally different story.

Adjusting to the difference from HS still the international line is way out there in comparison.

If Kellie signs another shooting guard who can’t shoot I hope Danny White fires her. This is getting ridiculous

 

[teacherdean]

The Ladies are getting out hustled and outplayed. They should be dominating but look very passive. This is not good.

 

[djtee]

You stated "you think" Kellie ran them hard yesterday. So you don't know for sure.
There's no reason why Southern Illinois should be able to make us play at this level.
We are horrible on the offensive end.
Fortunately, we have Burrell and they don't.
She will be the difference in this game.

This Southern Illinois team is not very good in my opinion

 

[87&91ALUM]

Men got off to a slow start last night. Seems to be the same story across all basketball. Hopefully, somebody is going to start scoring a lot besides Burrell and our defense wakes up.

Yeah, that's why she averaged 29 ppg on 54% shooting as a HS senior.

They were 9-16 last year

She hasn't been any more accurate from closer in. Hopefully it is nerves. It takes some players longer to settle in. But watching her form I think it is probably endemic to her game.

I think we are getting a good look at Kellie’e players right now with Horston and Key not playing. Just imagine if Rae wasn’t playing.

They look well coached, but they have no size. Shouldn’t be this close. Officiating hasn’t helped but we can’t play passive.

We got called for 5 early fouls in the paint and everyone got tight and panicked. Need to relax and just play. Natural response to the officiating though. Suddenly we were afraid to move…

.

Agree. Posters blindly harped(no pun intended) on KJH for this last yr. Ridiculous when you don't know.

We continue to be a horrible 3 pt shooting team.

Still hoping things pick up from here on
