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

[volnationnj]

They were 9-16 last year

Massey has them at #126.

Missed shots, over the back, stumbling around....cmon ladies!

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.

She averaged almost 30 last season so the kid can finish, just needs to calm down and play ball.

 

[VolBall09]

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

She literally said she did it in a post game presser.

Thank God for Dye

 

[cwbytruckers]

Very poor shooting team so far

 

[casetopia]

Ugh we don't shoot we just throw it up there.

 

[Voluble2]

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

Then we should see it show up at some point. But you can get those stats in high school just being a better athlete than everyone else. We have seen enough examples of it over the years. Very, very common in the women's game.

Anyway, let's see if she settles in. But being the last freshman off the bench would indicate they aren't seeing anything different in practice.

Striplin has gotta play better. These officials are lost.

 

[SGMVols]

Thank God for Dye

The “jack up a jump shot and hope Dye can put it back in” offense may be good enough for tonight but it won’t work against real competition

 

[Bigkat]

These freshman are not sec type players!!

 

[Chippo]

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

We have to get a rhythm going with all these new
players. Plus Houston not on and Key playing
very little.

 

[volmanNC]

Looks like two high school teams playing.

 

[87&91ALUM]

0-9 three pointers

 

[DEEFEEZEE]

The head coach playing the wrong freshman miles should be getting more time.

 

[casetopia]

Laying more bricks than butch jones.

 

[SGMVols]

0-9 three pointers

They need Rick Barnes to teach them how to shoot like he did with Evina Westbrook before she left for the devil

It’s too early for that

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nice shot by Jordan Walker. 25-22 with 2:07 left in first half.

 

[Voluble2]

Good timeout by SIU.

 

[VolBall09]

She was totally lost on defense. She gave up three wide open 3s.

Ok but mid major and that`s not the SEC.

I can’t quit laughing thinking about Striplin going against Amihere and Boston.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Burrell slow to get up.

I was agreeing with you that they’re a bad team
