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

[Amb3096]

Looked like a ligament given what she was holding, and how it went on the landing. Hoping it is not an ACL/MCL.

Ouch...stepped away to grab a bite and missed that Rae went down. That CANNOT happen for this team...

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

Well that was a nice run can’t believe our season is over

 

[zaqhhh]

After one half of basketball without key and horston, you are throwing statements out like this. pls don’t post

I said “may”. Don’t get your panties in a wad.

 

[Chippo]

Kellie better pull a
Pat Summit in the locker room
or we're in big trouble

 

[Voluble2]

Is Emily Saunders a complete bust? She never plays except mom up minutes.

Even slower and more deliberate than Key. But she can hit her shots and you can't move her in the post. Probably have to adjust the offense a bit for her. But we aren't feeding it to the posts anyway. Very few entry passes thrown to them tonight.

 

[volmanNC]

At this point I’d take Holly back. At least she could recruit.

Oh my, take two stiff drinks and get plenty of rest.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I say slow our role until we see what happens second half. Kentucky struggled early last night. Ohio State is only up 4 at half. Let’s see what happens first.

 

[Voluble2]

Let's see how the team responds at the half. It is not unusual to struggle early in the season like this.

This is the first taste of adversity at this level for a lot of these players so we should learn a lot.

This is the difference between Kellie playing with her talent vs Kellie playing the talent Holly recruited. Horston is out. Key is in foul trouble. And Rae is down.

Kellie's recruits are going to have to rally together now and show us what the future looks like.

That isn't fair. Kellie's recruits are sophomores (one of whom is injured and out for the season) and freshmen. Holly's recruits are the juniors and seniors. Almost every team relies on it's unpper classmen. What we are seeing tonight has nothing to do with Kellie's recruiting. We are not getting good performances from our upper classmen.

Holly is that you???

A lot of posters taking great joy in Burell being injured, and our girls having a rough outing so far...

I think it`s more of mid major talent as is Darby

 

[casetopia]

Darby sucks

 

[Orange_Mamba]

I wonder if Kellie will to a match up zone in the 3rd. We’re a little step slow on the man to man. Two players are taking the handoff leaving the screener open for 3.

No one is taking any joy in it. WTF is wrong with you?

 

[therealitytheory]

Darby leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[Amb3096]

3 fouls on Key? Wow...

 

[volforlife10]

if key moves a foul will be called.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

They’re going after Key. If she gets further in foul trouble, LVs are gonna have a tough row to hoe.

 

[VolBall09]

The officials are going to be certain this is awful as possible.

Not me Game Time

Key does not play smart. Hitting someone in the head right in front of the ref when you've got 2 fouls hurts the whole team.

the girl was pushing on her and key turned to move the girls arm off of her. it’s a bs call!

 

[SGMVols]

if key moves a foul will be called.

She forearm shivered a defender in the face. It’s not only a foul, it should be a flagrant 1

Good strategy on their part. They know who we were going to lean on this half and they are trying to take her away.
