Spear hot!

 

[VolBall09]

Someone has to cut back door if they’re gonna double. Can’t leave the post hanging like that. MOVE

 

[Volfaninfl2]

SPEAR!!!

 

[Volstylexx]

Yes! Spear for 3!

Playing in an ACC gym, this is probably the most comfortable she’s felt all year. It’s a different team when she’s hitting shots.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Good things happen when we push pace.

 

[ttharp]

I wish TK wouldn’t try to deny the pass like she does on D. Make them score OVER you.

 

[VolBall09]

Jewel got me doing the shimmy in my seat dance!!!!!!

 

[Vols2015]

Spear her 3rd 3! Lady Vols up 38-28 GB TO!

 

[VolBall09]

[Volfan2012]

Yep, put that big ol body between your player and the basket and dare them to try lol

 

[mudcat1973]

This is a terrible game for TK on defense. She can expose them kn offense , if she catches close to tge basket.

While I am pulling for the Lady Vols, I hope no one starts complaining about the referees! We are getting some good calls from them!

 

[Ladyvol777]

Making out move. Playing some go defense. 38-28

 

[ttharp]

Fear the Spear!

If we defend and rebound well from here on out, we make it to Monday.

 

[VolBall09]

They are calling it tight in the post which is in our favor in the long run. If they let them maul us it would be better for them. We have more depth in the post and superior size. Gotta keep up the D here

 

[ttharp]

They’ve missed at least 3 travel calls on GB

 

[Vols2015]

Puckett free-throw line jumper! 40-28 media timeout.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Why are we playing zone?

 

[AllVols3]

Why are we playing zone?

Where the switches outside are easier. Just have to stay in your zone.

 

[RAVOL]

More Steam

 

[SGMVols]

We will need Spear to keep shooting like Dalton Knecht if we want to have a chance against NC State. Don’t empty all the bullets today lol.

 

[VolBall09]

Why are we playing zone?

That’s a good question. We looked much better in the man. We have been switching it up. That last look was like a 3-2 trapping zone with Wynn as the rover out top. Works fine but the wing players can’t sag. There is NO reason to protect the paint against this team. Let TK do that and guard your man.
