I am but an internet troll, but how many times did I post that you CAN NOT over dribble against this team?

 

[VolBall09]

This is the kind of team Strip feasts against.

Rickea to Striplin for 2!

Anyone who's there: how's the crowd? Green Bay fans sound loud on TV (at least with their boos)!

Yes! She looks so comfortable out there. Our most mobile post for sure.

 

[Vols2015]

That should’ve been a foul on GB. They are playing pretty physical

 

[NoBackBoard]

Wynn looks lost defensively early.

 

[ttharp]

REBOUND!

 

[NoBackBoard]

Good coaching by Harper to sub Wynn out. She wasn’t ready.

 

[Vols2015]

Striplin with the charge!

Take the name “Green Bay” off the screen and you’d think we were playing UConn watching this live. We’re not really playing bad. A bit baffling really. There’s no way the talent is comparable between these teams.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Striplin takes the charge!

 

[Vols2015]

Not sure what Powell was thinking. We had 13 seconds to hold for last shot, and she threw it away. Nice defense to end the last possession against GB.

 

[Volfan2012]

Need to rebound their misses two or three baskets for them on second chance shots.

Our defense woke up! Given how tight we play after time off, I’m not surprised at how the first quarter went.

 

[VolBall09]

Ok, so see, this is my problem with Kellie teams. What was that execution?

That’s a 5th year player. Shot clock off, ball in starting pg hands. Loft it out of bounds with 13 seconds remaining.

That’s not even on Powell at this point, that’s just a lack of discipline and a sign of a lack of respect and communication between coach and player. They may like each other but it’s not equating to a good product a majority of the time.

 

[th2421]

Nice for us to get Guyer, their only true post player, in foul trouble already.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Would like to see Jill and Strip play some high-low game. I think it could create some opportunities.

 

[UT Challenger]

Where is Spear in this game? Need to get her some shots.

That’s her coaches fault. Get her attention, call a play. Quarterback it.

Good coaching adjustments to close out the quarter. Much better.

They have us scouted really well. Spear has a tendency to just allow herself to be guarded if you stand real close to her. She has to move with out the basketball and screen for her teammates to get open. Again a coaching failure that we aren’t running screen the screener action for her on pick and pop threes.

First play of the 2nd quarter, a screen to get Spear wide open and hit a 3!

Let's be fair without Jackson this is not a very good team, It is what it is !

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Yes! Spear for 3!
