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

[chuckiepoo]

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

Exactly. Drive to the hole.

 

[volsagain]

As bad as we've played FL is ahead by 9 more free throws made. The ladies will take care of business 2nd half. GLV

 

[AllVols3]

Exactly. Drive to the hole.

They only called 4 on UF the 1st half

 

[Volfan2012]

Just hope the Gators follow their usual pattern good first halves and bad second halves. We need to get it back quick getting down nine is not good.

 

[glv98]

Bad half for sure but I still think the LVs come back and win. Coop back plus they'll just wear down physically. They've played so hard and so smart but I believe they'll get gassed.

Good to get this mess out of the system against FLA and not KY.

Missed 1st half seems I didn't miss much. Bad half of ball but there are 2 halves. Let's see if Ladies get it. Cooper should be good and rested. In CHRIST Alone

I would love to see Coach Caldwell chew some refs butt and maybe even get a technical. They look like Florida has padded the refs bank account. Coach needs to ask them that question because you will get a fine if said at a press conference.

When the LV's drive they call charging ....when Gators drive it is a foul on LV's .....refs are in charge of the game and dictating the tempo .....

BS first half

You take the second half and I’ll turn it off. Maybe that will make a difference.

 

[Sudden Impact]

15 to 5 foul differential. Says it all

 

[RespectAPA]

Cooper should be good and rested.

Will she be able to get to the basket with it, though. If she doesn't, and just shoots up long 2s, we're in trouble.

She's productiv in the press, but will she be aggressiv in the press, or play a touch scared with 2 fouls? We need some steal-n-scores from her — but will the refs even allow it, or will we get whistled for breathing in a Gator in the press...?

My question is since I didn't see 1st half of our 15 how many touch fouls? Because I'm sure FL had to have same body contact.

 

[Voluble2]

The biggest problem this team has is its tendency to get frustrated and get in its own head.

FL is not good and they are not playing particularly well. We should be running them out of their own gym, but everyone is tentative and standing around because they know they are getting jobbed by the refs again. That makes the refs mad and even more likely to call fouls on them and it spirals.

We need to stop going 1 on 4 on offense and we need to crash the boards instead of letting them outnumber us in rebounding, especially on the offensive end.

Just forget about the refs and play. If they foul us all out then that is on them.

That and missing a half dozen shots at the rim.

 

[VolBall09]

If it’s called the same I’m afraid there is no hope. Disappointing.

SPEAR 3

I think so too unless they foul Coop out

 

[mudcat1973]

Spear basket + one

 

[glv98]

See, it didn't even take that long. Just don't pull this mess against better teams.

 

[mudcat1973]

SPEARMEN 3

 

[vol94]

Amazing how this team plays much better after the half.

 

[VolBalls33]

Spear and Spearman for 3!! Great steal from Boyd. Jillian with a nice drive and shot of the backboard. Let's go ladies!!

 

[Voltopia]

Keep on fighting and clawing and you'll get there, Tennessee.

 

[RAVOL]

Great Start to 3rd 11 points already. Down by 2 keep playing with focus and purpose. In CHRIST Alone
