Game Thread: 2024 NCAA Tournament Round 1 #6 Tennessee (19-12, 10-6 SEC) vs #11 Green Bay (27-6, 17-3 Horizon ) Saturday 3/23/24 ~12:00pm ET (ESPN)

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

Maybe, but I like the concept with them playing 5 out. If we're going to play TK and JH we must publish them on the list and offensive rebounding.

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.

Yes. She’s making it easy for GBs defense. Make them defend you, just not like that.

 

[Volfan2012]

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.

I don't like the one on one when they are clogging the zone had someone open need to get them the ball.

 

[Ladyvol777]

Great half, Sara Puckett is playing some good defense. As always go Lady Vol's.

 

[Vols2015]

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.

Tamari played that play like she was going up against Kardoso. You gotta known who you’re playing and how to play physically.

 

[ttharp]

UConn being a final four pick for Lobo is interesting to me. I just don’t see it. At all.

 

[AllVols3]

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

She needs to quit dribbling into all the traffic. Space the floor and then let her dribble. This is a game where she needs to be on the post(high or low) and take advantage of her size and strength.

Green Bay's shooting cooling off was inevitable. The LV's took advantage.

 

[LadyVol1908]

Great coaching move to go to the zone! Took GB out the game completely! The MVP of the first half was definitely the defensive intensity in that second quarter!

 

[brittannica]

Defensive changes were stifling to GB, and they started fouling out of frustration and lack of discipline. A few silly turnovers, but I can’t complain too much when we are up at half. Sara and Jill playing some great defense. Jill is very athletic.

She keeps standing outside the 3 point line, just get in the mid range and shoot, nobody can stop her from getting that shot off.

 

[Deebowbear]

Unless ladies have a disaster second half should be a easy win

Yes because they are allowing her to get clean looks from perimeter even 10' like shoot around

 

[mudcat1973]

Tough foul with 1.5 to half

But they the refs are also calling fouls on Green Bay when they are fouling in the paint

 

[knoxvol52]

Lady Vols are bigger, deeper and for once more athletic.

Should finish Green Bay off in 3rd Quarter.

Spin that ever how you want too.

 

[RAVOL]

Green Bay's shooting cooling off was inevitable. The LV's took advantage.

Absolutely . I do love there offsene so much movement cutting gives them a chance against bigger athletes.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Tamari played that play like she was going up against Kardoso. You gotta known who you’re playing and how to play physically.

She pivoted in her own cylinder and got called for a charge. Until GB starts trying to take it to the rim smaller lineup is good.

 

[VolBall09]

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

Yeah idk why they even bothered with the flop rule if they aren’t using it.

The double dribbles have been inexcusable.

 

[th2421]

Love seeing Tamari and Rickea's moms sitting together!

 

[ttharp]

Now THAT was not a foul.

 

[Vols2015]

Refs with two back to back bad calls

 

[VolBall09]

Their coach said “they’re calling fouls, take it in there and throw it up.” Got bailed out twice already.

 

[RAVOL]

Well we see how official will keep them in game.

 

[VolBall09]

Love seeing Tamari and Rickea's moms sitting together!

I think Kaiya’s mom was on her other side but I could be wrong.

 

[Vols2015]

Finally Key gets a finish inside
