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

[87&91ALUM]

Nice lay in by Key

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

WOW ..... we have a big 3 point lead at the half. Pathetic.

 

[SGMVols]

You can’t lose at home to a team with 7 players. Bad close to the half.

 

[NoBackBoard]

With Key in the game do we need to play zone? It’s just giving them open 3 pointers.

 

[87&91ALUM]

30-27 at half. Shaking my head. No D on MSU threes.

 

[Volfan2012]

Rae Burrell 1 for 9 and 5 turnovers. That is about as bad as a player can play.

 

[volnationnj]

30-27 LV's at the half.
Mississippi St has taken 18 3point shots.

 

[Volstylexx]

Still not a peep about miles. I would trust Kelly with the nuclear codes at this point. her lips are sealed.

 

[Hoosier]

Burrell is getting burned by 3-point shooters ---- get some D in their faces

 

[cwbytruckers]

Key should have 30 points in this game. If not thats on the coach for letting anyone else force up another pathetic stupid shot.

I think she's still trying to work through some injuries. She doesn't look like 100%.

I thought that was Pat Summitt speaking for a minute. I switched away for a second but the sound was on and I thought that was Pat Summitt's voice for a second.

Probably going to lose tonight. MSST has smaller, faster players and as we get tired I’m afraid it will be turnovers and layups in the second half.

Proud of the players who played in the first half. They came out and fought. We have nothing going for us offensively with this group. It’s all 1 on 1 into a turnover/bad shot or getting it inside.

 

[Voluble2]

Puckett looks faster and more energetic tonight than she has been all season.

Lots of dumb plays are keeping State in it. Getting out on the three pt shooter has been a problem all year and it is because of our emphasis on rebounding. This team is small enough that we can give up a little on rebound to make sure we stay out on them.

 

[I4Vols]

Getting to see Sara and Karo on the floor together.

I've seen enough, as one has gotten that frosh tired time of the season, the other hasn't come around yet.
But, I'll need to see more, as it's time for them to grow

Her injury has nothing to do with the decisions her brain is making. Girl keeps forcing the drive and shots.

 

[creekdipper]

State looks to be shooting better from 3 than twos. Got to keep them off the line. That's what's keeping them in the game.

She had a great feed into Alexa early, a a couple of feeds into Key. Make. The. Other. Players. Better!

 

[Vols2015]

Rae just needs to settle down. She cannot win the game alone. I’m liking the offensive spread out coming from different players. Need to step up defensively. Tamari should have had double digit points in the first half.

 

[VolBall09]

have they said at all yet where Miles is?

 

[LasVegasBill23]

wow 12 TOs that is too many for a half

 

[chuckiepoo]

have they said at all yet where Miles is?

No

Nope. Twitter is silent and Bob is afraid to ask

 

[Volfan2012]

She is but she should quit trying to make something out of nothing. I want her to shoot but she is forcing some shots.

Our guards have been consistent about one thing this year... an inability to consistently pass inside to Key. Walker and Miles maybe just too short in too many match ups and today Wynn is a freshman still playing high school ball. I think she'll get a lot better with playing time, but a loss today won't help that
Rae's a shooter, not a scorer (today), but since the injury she's played too much as an individual vs a team player.
