Game Thread: (16/12) Lady Vols 74 - (12/21) Texas 70

[VolBall09]

A TN player (Key/Puckett) landed on top of her on that play. Relax, please. She may have history I am not privy to. She was in a bad, unfortunate position.

I’ve watched dozens of her games. She does have a history and that’s my point. She’s had numerous concussions. Including a total KO last season. She has hardly ever missed any time. She falls on the floor like that in almost every contest. She has poor body control and gets herself in positions where she gets hurt. Often her heads bangs off other players shoulders etc. There is a difference between playing tough and playing dangerous.

Also feel it’s irresponsible for her to be playing. I treat post concussion syndrome frequently. That damage is permanent and life altering. She’s playing with fire every time she has one.

I will need to go find that game where Key had her other triple double this is her second. They are saying her first that is wrong she had one last season I'm sure.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

She already had one don't know who they forget that one. This would be her second one.

Vs Florida 20 points 10 rebounds 10 blocks almost didn’t get that one if wasn’t for Rennia telling her she needed 1 more rebound

She absolutely had one last season.

 

[SGMVols]

You stick Rae’s 18 points and 8 rebounds in there and this is a 95-70 victory. I know it’s hypothetical, but the thought is tempting.

Maybe. But Texas had a key player out too

Ya think....

Thanks I knew she has one before this one. UT needs to get their stats straight.

Moore and Burrell are not equivalent. Moore is talented but a freshman and undersize. Who knows, it she played Tamari may have had 15 blocks. Ebo did get a few buckets on size alone.

 

[Volfan2012]

The player they are talking about for Texas is a freshman Hunter. She is a good player she is not Burrell at this point in her career.

Really you could say she does plays twice as many minutes. Darby starts but doesn't stay that long most games.

Once again .you have to have something coming in off the bench .

I’ve already been tempted to sign up to watch UConn and SC lol

That game should be on ESPN2 Monday @ noon.

Surprised it is not Wynn think she is having some problems getting the mental game down she is very athletic player that would add to the defense and not do any worse on offense.

 

[djtee]

She is better on the perimeter on the offensive end not the low block. What and Key lacks on the offensive end she makes up for it on the defensive end. I agree Puckett is a better option then Darby but that`s what Kellie likes.

Where would you rank this win among the top wins of the Harper era? Taking into consideration we're missing our top scorer in Rae.

Don’t it’s been promoted to ESPN

On top.

 

[Volfan2012]

Puckett 35 minutes Darby 9 minutes so the starter issue is really not one at all.

Really?!?!?!

Jaiden McCoy got a concussion during practice and that was the last time we ever saw her on the court last year due to concussion protocol does Texas medical staff not take concussion seriously???

 

[Volfan2012]

My understanding of the NET you get rewarded for wins where your top player is injured so were racking up there as well.

 

[Volinnooga]

Would it kill you guys to give this team and the coach some credit ? I mean, my god why watch if you’re actively rooting for the other team.

I’ve quit following these threads during the game because everyone is so negative. It’s rather funny to read these threads after the game is over.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

On the road to Las Vegas for two games Friday and Saturday. Was going to sit it out and not pay the thirty bucks to Flo Sports now I'm ready to watch these next two games.
