Game Thread: #15/20 Lady Vols vs. Troy, Sunday, 2:02PM, home, SEC+streaming

[RAVOL]

Let's get off to a fast start here. In CHRIST Alone

 

[WinnerCircle]

This was an opportunity to start Striplin and Wynn in the 3rd qtr in place of Spear and Darby.

Reward players at all times for giving effort no matter who the opponent is.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I don't think it has anything to do with being in shape looks like mind can't tell body what it needs to do.

I’m not a doctor so maybe that’s the case, but doesn’t look like she should be playing at all.

 

[ttharp]

Destinee's situational awareness is so good.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

what a stupid thing to say. You continue to wow me with the things you say.

I was just going by the timeline, but ok.

 

[WinnerCircle]

Troy can’t guard Wells! Their guards can’t stay in front of Destinee on the perimeter.

Come on VolNation celebrate your own jeez!!!

 

[alexvol]

They are playing great "ole " defense.

 

[alexvol]

Truth is, Key could be performing better at this point and they would still find something else to complain about.

Nobody knows what will happen in this situation and at this point she will determine how the process plays out this season.
Either way, as long as she is healthy the basketball part is secondary.

You are a winner ......no doubt about that .....thin skin also.

 

[ttharp]

Spear. Please.

 

[volfan__18]

Spear is pressing. Trying to force her shot.

 

[volnationnj]

Spear. Please.

It's as though Spear and Wells exchanged performances for this game. Spear was great the first 3 but, so far, not this one.
Wells, who hasn't done much so far, is outstanding this game.

 

[RAVOL]

Spear. Please.

She was trying to hard to get in scoring column. Considering that she has not and without Jackson and Powell makes what the others have accomplished on offense. In CHRIST Alone

 

[WinnerCircle]

Wells can’t be guarded right now… fastest player on the court.

She is playing a great pace and controlling the tempo. LVs haven’t had a PG this efficient running an offense since Bobbitt and Hornbuckle!

Folks that were talking about speed ain’t talking about speed no more!

GBO

 

[Voluble2]

Nice to see Wells playing more like we hoped she would.

Spears though seems to be totally out of sync today. It is almost like the two of them traded jerseys.

We are going to need them both to play well during this next stretch.

 

[ttharp]

We have a decent lead. HOWEVER, the coaching still leaves A LOT to be desired.

How do you let Spear open up the 3rd Q with two 3pt bricks (that lead to offensive putbacks.) And then follow that up with two turnovers. It's important coach her up and tell her to stick with what's working.

 

[Voluble2]

This announcer cracks me up, "And Troy is all the way back" when they are down 13 and Tess nails a three to put them down 16 while he says it.

 

[ttharp]

She was trying to hard to get in scoring column. Considering that she has not and without Jackson and Powell makes what the others have accomplished on offense. In CHRIST Alone

I think drawing up a play to get her a clean look would be helpful.

If she misses a drawn up play, you can live with it. Forcing looks that lead to turnovers breaks up momentum.

 

[WinnerCircle]

77 points in three quarters of action without Ace, Powell, and Rickea. Spear hasn’t scored heading into the 4th.

What’s the must impressive takeaways from this strong performance by the LVs?

 

[Majors]

All these missed layups. Inexcusable.

Basketball 101 from youth league

 

[Harpethriverkid63]

Troy can’t guard Wells! Their guards can’t stay in front of Destinee on the perimeter.

Come on VolNation celebrate your own jeez!!!

They probably would and do without posting on a fan forum. Btw, what should we be celebrating, the talent difference??

 

[Hooper22]

Despite missing several players and Spear being MIA offensively , our energy level seems way more up today compared to the Memphis game. What a difference this makes

 

[zaqhhh]

On pace for 70 rebounds, 1Q was very rough but since then...movement and motion have looked better

 

[RAVOL]

Added to lead . Keep on the Gas ladies. In CHRIST Alone

 

[WinnerCircle]

It’s electric in this building today.. some negaVols trying too hard in this thread.

Nothing takes away from this performance.. nothing.. 82 points and counting!

Lil Darby, I am impressed
