Game Thread: (20/22) Lady Vols vs. Florida

[Vols2015]

Shoutout to Rennia for finally coming together towards the end! We need you earlier next time.

 

[Orange Maniac]

KK with an assist.

John really has the paint players playing a lot better.

Where are all those people that wanted him fired after the first few games. Pure stupid. These post players are coming along nicely.

She has brought so much to our team!

Yessssss!!!! She literally put this team on her back tonight and even the Kasi points wasn’t a keys the way she looked for and even her taking a player off the dribble was game changing. I actually see why Kasi was a McDonald’s all -American it just sucks she was dealing with injuries early in her career. I actually think they played a good 30 minute game but we need a 40 minute game full of domination!!!!

 

[KrazyVolFan]

TK and KK won this game for us, hands down no doubt. The sloppy play will not fair well for us the next few games. We better lock down on both sides of the ball.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Has there ever been a triple double in LV history until now? I can’t remember one.

I'm sure there has been before ..... with all the great talent that has passed through playing.
Candace Parker might have had at least one w/her time playing here.

 

[VolBall09]

Yes he does and deserves praise for it because a lot of people around here really questioned his abilities

I was on the fence but they are playing a ton better. It’s not an accident either. They look much more confident. Tamari in particular. She’s starting to make things look easy and getting stronger.

Kasi really is an exceptional passer! She is one of the few players we have that can actually get it to Key down low!

 

[brieeallen]

Appears to be focused on that All SEC team at the moment...

She has to she is just as much of threat as Boston for the Gamecocks. The only difference is that Boston been physical from the jump and understood how to navigate sooner. But Key was on her bully and I love it .

 

[Volfan2012]

Key had a triple double today. 23 points 10 rebounds and 10 blocks. Amazing game so glad she came to play.

 

[VolBall09]

I think I remember hearing the other day that Boston’s recent one was only the 3rd in SEC history. I could be mistaken but I think they said the other two were Sylvia Fowles and Candace Parker. Pretty elite company for Ms. Key.

Yes that high low was exceptional between the two.

 

[Lucy]

14 point win shooting 15% from three. Whew!
Glad TK and KK brought it today!
Also stopped the reptilian run and won going away!
Team is maturing!
Great job LVs!!

 

[VolBall09]

0 turnovers for Horston. Her shot wasn’t falling but she played with better control this evening.

 

[Vols2015]

Yes!!!!! Our Ladies are on a mission! Today’s game reminded me of Kelley Cain from several years ago when she had a triple double in points, rebounds and blocks!

 

[Volfan2012]

Really didn't like the way we played most of the game but that last timeout really helped. Davis really put the defense on their best scorer when you re watch it you will see that she was really all over the girl the last five minutes and nothing was getting past Key today.

A quick search shows Jordan Reynolds and Shekinna Stricklen...and now Key. Not sure of the other.

[Volfan2012]

First thing I would ask Horston if I were coach is why don't you play the entire game like you play the fourth quarter. She plays under control makes the right passes and runs the team well. The start of the game is totally different.

 

[fastvol7]

So proud of how tough our girls are!

Goooo Lad Vols!!!!

She play’s within the game she lets the game come to her . As long as she has a touch and understands when to take over we will be fine because Rae is going to get hers the way key is playing teams are going to be scared to leave her open. And drive if we can get Jordan to play like she does every time she sees the Tide we will be a force.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

It was a sh*t show today with not too many bright spots we have been horrible on defense and offense the past two games. I’m happy about the win, but man they’ve been determined give these games away.

 

[PRG]

You could tell her back was hurting.... she was trying to rub it out but kept holding it ???

* See my edit above. I mentioned CP3 would be my guess to have done it.

Yes I agree! The difference this year verses last year, is Rennia has Rae to counter her offensive threat. So while Rennia isn’t the main offensive threat this year, she needs to continue to lead her team. She’s the senior with the most experience. I love the silent assassin in Rennia!

 

[VolBalls33]

The defense was so good the last 7 minutes, the team looked engaged. And that's with playing a lot of minutes. Bring it from the tip ladies. Go Lady Vols!!
