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

It’s only going to lead to open GB 3s with Wynn out there. It’s self-defeating.

2 on McNeal is huge, gotta keep her in foul trouble all game now. Go at her every possession she’s in. Make her guard.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Pretty jumper by Rickea!

Tennessee 68 ffg%

Powell has to get at least one of those a game.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Great D by Rickea!

 

[Vols2015]

Another Powell mistake. Where did she think she was going through 3 players?

 

[VolBall09]

First bad call of the game. Powell wasn’t really under control but the Green Bay player for sure wasn’t set or guarding.

 

[ttharp]

That hasn’t worked all game, Rickea. Please try something else other than putting it on the floor.

 

[VolBall09]

Rickea just gotta shoot that. Quit trying to handle the ball. She hasn’t done that all season, we don’t need her suddenly doing that in the tournament. Run her off a screen and get her a look where she can succeed.

Rickea's having a fantastic overall game - but she's also turned that over in the same spot with the same move about 3 times now.

 

[KTrain]

I believe that was a. Gift charge

 

[Vols2015]

Too many turnovers down the stretch, but we are up 44-28 at the half. Survive and advance.

 

[Volstylexx]

Game changed when they made the defensive adjustments. Great 2nd quarter

 

[JCP201]

Lady VOLS have really improved on their defensive play. We'd have won more games if we played like that all year.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Tough foul with 1.5 to half

 

[mudcat1973]

Tennessee volunteers 44 28

The foul on Key in 1st qt was worse. Should have been basket and FT.

 

[VolBall09]

The way this GB team shot the 3 in the first quarter this game is far from over. We have to continue to play defense because the likelihood of 65% shooting continuing is low.

 

[Volfan2012]

Great half overall were just a 7.5 point favorite so taking a 16 point lead into the halftime locker room is great.

 

[chuckiepoo]

44-28 at the half!

 

[Volfan2012]

The foul on Key in 1st qt was worse. Should have been basket and FT.

It was clearly a flop and something Refs are going to need to start calling. Also double dribbles.

 

[VolBall09]

The foul on Key in 1st qt was worse. Should have been basket and FT.

I actually thought that was a foul on TK and not her smartest. She gets a lot of cheap ones but she was really hooking that little girl lol. Even if the contact wasn’t much the optics are bad due to the size difference.

 

[RAVOL]

Tough foul with 1.5 to half

The one weakness of Jackson is ball handling. She has got to get better at this going to league. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Vols2015]

Rebecca Lobo cannot stand when TN does anything good. You can see how difficult it is for her to comment so condescendingly against their goodness.
