Game thread: #15/13 Lady Vols at Florida. Sunday, Feb. 23, 1pm ET, SECN

[vols 30]

Embarrassing effort on rebound.

40 to 28

 

[vols 30]

That last shot sums up the half

 

[VOLINVONORE]

We are playing like a bunch of individuals instead of a team. We have had players wide open under the basket and players are jacking highly contested shots instead of passing the ball.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Samara can be wildly good or bad. That’s not what you need from your PG.

 

[Majors]

Samara a liability the last few mins of the half

 

[volfan__18]

i think this shows how important cooper is to this teams success

 

[volforlife10]

hopefully kim can fix some things at half. this isn’t the team that just played alabama.

 

[ThatVolGuy]

That last shot sums up the half

When things are clicking it’s awesome, but I feel like they spiral and spiral FAST. Sam made so many poor choices and took a lot of bad shots. A floater like that shouldn’t look impossible.

 

[volsagain]

Worse 2 quarters back to back all season. Hope Kim can get them back on track at the half.

 

[Chippo]

A good high school team would give them a run for their money right now.

 

[mudcat1973]

Vols trailing 37 to 28 work to do in second half

 

[Voluble2]

Women’s refs I’ve watched this year are just inexplicably bad. Not saying they’re cheating they are just bad at what they do. I see some crews that are good. The foul discrepancy is bad today.

Someone needs to sue them just to get a look at their bank accounts. I bet discovery would reveal some very interesting things going on.

And if I were a coach I would at least threaten to do that so they screw someone else over instead of my team.

Brian Rice: “Lady Vols have not shot the ball well.”

 

[vol24/7/365]

Definitely should pull a Pat Summit and chew
Some butt at half time. If they play like this
Against Kentucky it's a sure loss.

Oh she will but they will be playing scared cause of foul trouble.

 

[Volfan2012]

10 to 1 at the foul line and could be worse. They have 16 attempts. The reason you can't feel confident about this team. When they play like this 30 percent from the field and fouling on every possession.

 

[JCP201]

How can you play when the refs blow the whistle everytime you breath? (Only Lady VOLS though) Annoyed.

 

[volforlife10]

we also have to start looking to draw the foul. they are calling them, so work it inside and draw the foul.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We get in our own way… they’re playing out of control now.

That’s my concern long term. The system is hurry, hurry, hurry, and then hurry some more. Leads to lots of mistakes and rushed passes/shots. It is not a sound form of basketball.

 

[th2421]

Free throws made: Florida 10, Tennessee 1

That 9-point differential is the difference in the game.

 

[GameTime]

Once again we play one on one ball, while the Gators and the refs play as a team.

 

[Namorto1]

We are playing like a bunch of individuals instead of a team. We have had players wide open under the basket and players are jacking highly contested shots instead of passing the ball.

Yep very selfish basketball and lack of
composure. We will make a run in the 2nd half but it is a fight against a team we should beat.

Thought we had turned corner in recent games but this effort thus far is a regression.

 

[alexvol]

That is the worst half that this team has played all year.......can not shoot,have the wrong players taking the shots ,rushing everything, one-on- one basketball....not defending.....trowing the ball away ....cavalier handling of the ball......what else have I missed ?

Oh and by the way the worst reffing all year.....this team better adjust in a hurry or this will be another loss.

 

[RespectAPA]

The speculation about Ruby not being 100% may be on point. -9 plusminus in the previous win, and -16 in 14 minutes today so far. 3-10 and missed 2 FTs. Very unlike her, she's normally almost at the top of the chart, but it might be two performances from her at the very bottom of plusminus barring a great 2nd half.

Only 4 offensiv rebounds attributed to players, 2 team oRBs for 6 in all in the half. Part of that is shooting shots when there's no interior presence at all.

 

[KB5252]

They haven't played well and many if not most of their fouls are legit....... But the refs aren't calling the game the same at each end.

That aside we are playing like crap and still in it.

 

[alexvol]

Once again we play one on one ball, while the Gators and the refs play as a team.

Best way to put it that I have seen.
