Game Thread: (16/14) Lady Vols 86 - Mississippi State 64

Key"s injury looked like the type where she could get tapped up again and come back in.
Can't be sure yet.

 

[casetopia]

Me too. I do sometimes wish she had stayed/not been kicked off. Not interested in the rest of her sisters and parents though sadly.

I forgot about that. Was it weed?

Good grief ball security sucks with these girls. I see better ball handling at the high school level.

 

[glv98]

We are currently being forced to give the frosh a long hard look.

 

[VolBall09]

Our only blessing is that they are as depleted as we are and are now in foul trouble.

 

[th2421]

We seem stiff-legged or something tonight - a lot of falls and tweaking ankles, knees, etc...making me nervous!

 

[chuckiepoo]

Getting to see Sara and Karo on the floor together.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Tess!

Good God put a sock in it. Don't start. We're playing the damn managers.

Probably time for me to leave the game thread. No mood right now.

 

[VolBall09]

And the layup drill starts.

 

[casetopia]

Walker please stop driving to the hoop. You never finish.

 

[casetopia]

Another missed layup. No way we practice those.

 

[volnationnj]

Is Mississippi St really in consideration for a spot in the NCAA tournament ?

the. only. Blessing. Any team with a pulse easily beats us tonight.

Can we play them again?

 

[casetopia]

Omg walker did it

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Too many jump balls being called where fouls should be called.

 

[VolBall09]

They’re hanging tough and I like to see it.

Yeah that was a foul. You cannot tie up a player who is dribbling the ball at full speed. Just not possible.

currently projected as ”last four byes” but that’s what 6 sec wins gets you. KY is projected as “next 4 out and they’re 13-11

No i will not stop. These girls forcing shots through bodies. Trying to dribble through defenders. Common sense says dont do it. The coach doesnt do anything to correct it.

10 turnovers already

Tired players. Way more likely to injure yourself when tired. We are just beat up and worn out. I think we need to look at how we practice. Can’t say with any certainty but I think our practices may be TOO physical. You’ve gotta have that early in the season but as the year goes on we have to take care of our players.

We keep getting to February and falling apart due to injuries and tired bodies.

…eesh. That is our MO…
