She better come back, she has some work to do.

Horston is what she is. She's been like this--completely erratic and mistake-prone--for four years. You think another year will change her?

 

[KB5252]

That just sucks. Dumb play down the stretch did us in I'm afraid.

 

[ttharp]

It was really the press or bust today. We don’t have the IQ to out-execute VT in the half court.

 

[VolBall09]

Kenny smirking over there. He knows it’s over.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Three turnovers in a row broke the spell.. part of the game when you press and run a lot.

 

[VolBall09]

Amoore is gonna shoot about 12 free throws now.

 

[87&91ALUM]

54-61…we were so close and we threw the ball away and horrible officiating on that three call.

 

[userpete1037]

That was a bad call… the ball was on the way. Floparino.

Yes very bad call.

 

[RAVOL]

A Jordan TO in a crucial moment where have I seen that before?

Yes 6 of them this game.

 

[TN1111]

That will probably do it.

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Absolutely imploded at the end

 

[NoBackBoard]

Puckett has got to leave Kitley and help there. Force the ball handler to make a decision.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Game over, we can’t stop their guards or their speed and we are turning over the ball waaayyy too often

 

[HoopsFan]

Too many fouls too early into the quarter. Gonna hurt now

 

[Orange_Mamba]

We had hope there for a minute, but those stupid turnovers always rear it’s ugly head.

 

[turbovol]

So our guards decided to play in the 4th quarter. We clearly waited about 30 minutes too long to press.

 

[Voluble2]

It was really the press or bust today. We don’t have the IQ to out-execute VT in the half court.

The press gets players out of their own heads too. It really helps get the nerves out. Should have gone to it earlier.

 

[ttharp]

And NOW it’s over. Officials closed this one out for VaTech on that play.

You don’t think Horston’s decision making late contributed more than the refs?

 

[TN1111]

Absolutely imploded at the end

Exactly…got within one and then allow a 10-2 run

 

[Coffy73]

Kelli seriously needs to get some 3 pt shooters on this team! It is badly needed, so badly in games like this.

 

[VolBall09]

Have to make our free throws. Have to. Score with the clock off. Put Tess back in and see if she can redeem herself. We have to get a 3 from someone.

 

[ttharp]

The press gets players out of their own heads too. It really helps get the nerves out. Should have gone to it earlier.

Coaching.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Another BS foul call

 

[Vols2015]

Smart! Let’s just trade fouls the rest of the game

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Putting Miles back in is a little too late.
