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

[Prophet1]

It's game like this you can see we don't have Xs and Os.

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

If we would be patient and run an offense and set up the posts in the paint .. we would be extremely dangerous!

 

[I4Vols]

Quinesha Lockett, with 2 fouls now!

So will we go after her for a 3rd?
Seems like years ago that was a much more utilized coaching strategy.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Sara looking happy after making a 3!

 

[RAVOL]

They really can't guard us at all we could have put up 30 that quarter missed some open shots. Stay focused and we blow this open by end of half. In CHRIST Alone

Will take the score being where it is but that wasn’t a great quarter of play or coaching.

I didn’t think it was too bad. Really cold shooting. This is a confident and well coached team we are playing. They haven’t made it this far by accident.

STL was in the tournament almost by accident and definitely shouldn’t have been a 13 seed. Way too high lol. This Toledo team has it put together, they just can’t contend with our size so far.

Daring us to shoot jump shots and we were a little tight to start. Loosening up a bit. Need to get Jackson going a little bit here.

 

[MrBiggles]

19-8 Lady Vols. Put on more steam!

 

[Vols2015]

Striplin for 3!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Tess for 3! Edit, Striplin for 3!

 

[Vols2015]

Striplin another 3! Timeout Toledo!

 

[87&91ALUM]

IT is a three party!

KARO

 

[VolBall09]

Stroke it Karo!!!! Let the big girls shoot!

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Kellie made a really good coaching decision sitting Jordy and Kea on the bench with 2+ min and ran some good solid plays to use some clock to get to the second qtr.

Subtle but a very good move!

Also, LETS GO KARO!!! Way to let it fly with confidence!

 

[VolBall09]

Loosening up now!

 

[SATXVolFan82]

HOLY TOLEDO!!!!! Karoline back to back 3s!!!!!!

 

[RAVOL]

That a girl Strip. Please run them off 3 line no need to help on anyone.

 

[Prophet1]

Take that fools

Agree on Toledo. With Strip knocking down the three it now “feels” much better lol

 

[Rons1989]

That was dumb why they leaving striplin open lol somebody not paying attention to the scouting report

I agree, they were both a little frustrated and a little too jazzed. Powell and Franklin came in and played excellent defense and Holingshed did exactly what was needed of her also.

 

[Ladyvol777]

Looking good. As always go Lady Vol’s.

 

[I4Vols]

Nice shooting form... Strips the net

 

[th2421]

Really good defensive energy in that first quarter. Both from the starters and the subs.

Agree. I'd kind of given up on us being a great defensive team this season, but they've really turned it around on that end in the last few weeks.

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

Woo! Hoo! Keep those feet on the gas pedal! Don’t let up ! !
