Game Thread: 2023 Women's NCAA Tournament...Round of 16: Lady Vols v Va. Tech...Sat @ 6:30 ESPN2

[SGMVols]

We were a bigger Vegas favorite than the Purdue men were against a 16 seed last night.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Wanna try rebounding ?!??

 

[Volstylexx]

Puckett back in. SMH

 

[VolBall09]

Part of it is just KJH likes painfully slow players

Who is fast on this team for their position?

I swear this is true. I feel like Harper was slow so she figured it’s fine. Mind over matter but they are t as tough or focused as she was.


Please no more transfers with bad knees. We don’t need to be rehab U.

 

[ttharp]

Why is Horston out? She’s hot.

 

[Vols2015]

Jackson with a beautiful move! Pump faked the nations leading shot blocker, side stepped and went in for a layup!

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Nice run by UT

 

[zaqhhh]

Should be up by 20 but offense is clicking on nearly every cylinder rn

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Much better

 

[Volstylexx]

Finally. FINISH THEM

 

[Lurker]

Why did UT put up the black curtains upstairs over entire upper deck? They left the 200 level seats but everything above that they covered

I’m not sure, but I think the NCAA actually controls how the arena is set up for tournament games. So, it may not be UT’s choice.

Which at her time you could be, but the game has evolved so much since then

 

[Vols2015]

Puckett back in. SMH

Completely left her opponent on defense and left a wide open player for a layup, which forced Hollingshead to leave her opponent, but luckily we were bailed out with the missed layup.

 

[UT Challenger]

Need to go to a zone defense

 

[Volfan2012]

Other than not rebounding their first miss were playing really well. They have hit more threes than expected in the first half.

 

[Volstylexx]

Why is Horston out? She’s hot.

Bc she had scored 6 of our last 7 points and Kellie respects the game. She knows this is St. Louis’s first ever ncaa tournament and she wants them and their fans to enjoy it so she put Puckett in instead. Don’t worry, we will have all our best players in with 4 to go to finish them off.

 

[I4Vols]

Interesting how this game is being called, seems like refs will only call a foul if you're shooting. This will change in 2nd half

 

[pasadenavol]

Need to go to a zone defense

Agree! Need to mix it up!

Really nice pass by Puckett right there

Yeah, had the drive shut down but bit on the hesitation and left her man entirely.

She does that all the time. She pulls off her man, reaches in and jumps back etc...

 

[Vols2015]

Sarah Puckett lacks mental and physical toughness. She appears stout, but seeing her in action is like seeing a deer in headlights.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Rickea making these shots hard for herself right

 

[VollyParton]

Come on, Andraya, dare to be a homer

Franklin's slightly quicker and a much better rebounder. Why haven't we seen her yet?

 

[Voluble2]

Boston's highlight reel includes her fouling the defense by displacing it. Sad.
