Game Thread: #19/21 Lady Vols vs. #22/20 Oklahoma, Sat 1:32PM, WSN network

[Volfan2012]

Glad Powell made that last three that turnover that led to their three gave them a chance.

 

[creekdipper]

I’m willing to say good effort to come back from 10 down and win any game.

But like the Memphis win, this is an ugly of a game as I have seen in a win.

We have problems everywhere (namely in the coaching seat).

Your disappointment in the outcome is unbecoming.

 

[Fletcher3g]

As poorly as the team played this is a great win! Nice finish by Powell!

 

[glv98]

Hey, if we do win this game…

And did! J effin P!

 

[Volfan2012]

I will take a win even when we had 20 turnovers. Powell. Wells, and Spear made some huge shots down the stretch.

 

[Voluble2]

GLad to see Powell playing well after having such a tough season last year.

She has been a bright spot.

That’s what you call a floor general! That’s why you sign elite PG Destinee Wells from the portal!

That’s why you sign former all-conference and explosive PG Jasmine Powell from the portal.

Fear da Spear showed why she is an elite G! All-ACC and 2x Team USA selection!!

We would be undefeated right now with efficient in-game management from the sidelines!

Talent just beat a Top 25 team you negaVols!

 

[th2421]

Thrilled with a top-25 win on a neutral court without our best (and one of the country's best) player(s). Came back from a 10-point deficit, players stepped up. After starting 4-8 on free throws, went a clutch 14-16 the rest of the way. Won despite shooting 37% on FGs and 29% on 3s.

Your inability to face reality is disconcerting

Except it can’t beat talent with coaching.

shush we won. enjoy it, we have stuff to work on but we beat a ranked team without our BEST PLAYER. it’s something to be happy about. GO LADY VOLS!!

 

[Volfan2012]

Turns out free throw shooting won this one like it lost the one at Florida State. 75 percent from the line today.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

I’m glad we won, but not happy with some of our execution.

OH NO.... some more MORAL LOSSES..... hard to believe on this site.

only tennessee fans would be crying after a top 25 win without our best player (arguably the best in the country).

 

[knoxvol52]

Nice comeback...
Still issues to fix in areas that really good teams will exploit...
No I don't hate CKH , I want her to succeed ...
Go Lady Vols...

 

[Volfaninfl2]

WE WON!!! HUGE WIN, HUGE COMEBACK! I have tears.

WE FOUGHT BACK!

Missing Tamari and Rickea, we came back.

If anyone wants to bash Kellie, please take it to the Kellie bashing thread.

GO LADY VOLUNTEERS!!!

 

[zaqhhh]

shush we won. GO LADY VOLS!!

As I said I will always tip my hat to a double digit come from behind win.

But I am not going to ignore the ugliness of our performance either

Sorry.

Cope.

 

[Volfan2012]

Get well soon Rickea those two coming up are not Oklahoma.

 

[WinnerCircle]

Except it can’t beat talent with coaching.

Oklahoma has a good coach.
Powell and Wells made the plays at the end… but no serious leader have I ever seen take their best player off the court in the 4th qtr with a lead!

Sub out Spear and the very next possession it led to a turnover.

That happens about 5 times every game with this current leadership and it’s why the team is 4-2 instead of 5-1 or 6-0.

Oklahoma is not top 25 by almost any metric other than the media votes

They are a top 50 win which yes we should be happy with.

But we should be way better than them even down our best player.

Celebrate the win, but to ignore the deficiencies is just mind boggling.

Beat the #22. Win the games you’re supposed to win.

What determines top 25?

 

[glv98]

Wow. Whew. Awful as the execution was, pulling that win out was humongous.

Really great to see Spear, Wells, and JP step up like that when the axe was hanging right over their heads. Did not understand taking Spear out in the 4th but it worked out I guess. So much crappy stuff was bad, but I don't even feel like thinking about it.

Sh*t ya'll, this is tough sledding. I'm glad as heck for 1908 though who got to see an exciting win.

Hopefully they can stay in the top 50 and be Quad one as this is our first Quad one win of the season.

Sorry.

Cope.

*Whispers*

Most, if not all of KJHs wins against ranked opponents have been ugly comeback wins

Good win though.
