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

[SGMVols]

Burrell slow to get up.

If she’s out long term, shut it down. There’s no hope for this season without her

 

[Voluble2]

If Burrell is injured that is the season.

She is all we have.

 

[VolBall09]

I’m extremely nervous about what just happened with Rae. That happened on the way up.

 

[glv98]

Oh God. just shoot me now.

 

[volnationnj]

These freshman are not sec type players!!

You must be wrong. I've read right here, on this forum, that both Striplin and Puckett would be in the starting lineup a few games into the season.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Why aren’t they looking into the post? Dye has had position these last few drives

 

[casetopia]

Well guess we're gonna get to see who can score besides rae.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Uh oh. Burrell helped off the court. She has 12 of 27 points. Time for the rest of these ladies to grow up and show up.

 

[NoBackBoard]

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

Gee thanks!

 

[volnationnj]

Oh no. Oh no. Please don't let it be a serious injury.

 

[ttharp]

When you didn’t think it could get any worse.

 

[DEEFEEZEE]

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

I guess your not watching the two freshman bigs because they're just taking up space on the floor.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This is pathetic

 

[casetopia]

How are any of these ladies highly rated when they literally can't make a wide open jump shot.

 

[Voluble2]

Puckett is pretty much 0 for the season.

 

[volmanNC]

This is not a top 25 team playing tonight...

 

[87&91ALUM]

I can hear Pat going off in the locker room. She would kick them out of the locker room for a couple days to send a message.

 

[LadyOrange]

Rae hurt

 

[teacherdean]

That was a shameful first half for the ladies. They are not blocking out and guarding the 3.

 

[volbeast33]

The shooting is not the worse part…. Our offense is not getting open shots….. most pathetic offense I have ever seen.

 

[westtnvoljackson]

Well, look like Brick City for the Lady Vols. Not impressive at all. Not impressed with any of the freshmen. Maybe its just first game jitters. However, if we opened up with a top 25 team we would be getting crushed.

 

[casetopia]

We would be down by 20 to a ranked team.

 

[LadyOrange]

Rae had to be carried off court.

 

[Caz]

Someone tell me how this differs from “Holly” ball? I honestly see little difference.

 

[Volstylexx]

Season is over halfway through the first game. Devestating loss with Rae’s injury.
