Game Thread: #22/22 LADY VOLS AT #1/2 SOUTH CAROLINA

[CincyLadyVol]

I had to put my phone across the room otherwise I would throw it

Lol...... I'm with ya, Coach. I can't believe how badly we are playing.

 

[VolBall09]

Well I’m bummed. Expected to see more competitiveness at least.

 

[creekdipper]

This isn't a game; it's a mugging.

 

[PG1]

Maybe Davis should go on Pro next year team relies on her to much and when she has her I don’t care games the rest of team does not know what to do.

 

[stlvolsfan]

Lacey Goldwire is absolutely stunning.

 

[zaqhhh]

That is an important graphic, ALL (save Kentucky) of SCs wins against T25 have been competitive.

We aren't

 

[PineyBluff Vol]

No basketball sense in this team today

 

[volnationnj]

This looks like the second half of the uconn game. Not good.

 

[TN1111]

Great coaching by SC.... waiting to see that from our sideline

 

[xtpsrh08123]

Our gals are playing flat footed and South Carolina are the aggressors

 

[SGMVols]

How did this SC team lose to Indiana? That one makes no sense.

 

[Coach Jumper]

I cannot believe they are trapping on the other side of half court. You must wait and set the Trap one step in your court. That way the ball handler has nowhere to go. Let's defense 101. Wow

 

[SandyO]

I would take horston out and LEAVE her out. Damn, I can’t take it anymore.

 

[WVU05UT09]

This South Carolina team is what Tennessee gets to enjoy the next four years..

it’s the best collection of talent in a class I’ve seen in years. I’d say this group gets one title. Like I said fact is SC sets the standard now. if you aren’t recruiting at their level you are playing for 2nd

 

[TN1111]

Dumb play by Horston

 

[PineyBluff Vol]

Circus move by Horston and you are down 15? Why?

 

[KrazyVolFan]

This game has absolutely nothing to do with coaching. Girls have to want it,they are being out hustled and worked on both ends.

 

[KellywillwinNC]

Its like Horston forgot how to play basketball..didn't she pretty much out perform cooke, beale and boston in the usa 18 game??

 

[creekdipper]

Need to toughen up and come out ready to bruise.

 

[MLTS05]

Lacey Goldwire is absolutely stunning.

I try to keep it about basketball but she is a stunner for sure

 

[Rory]

Dumb play by Horston

Someone please explain why Saunders gets no time. She cannot be any worse than Brown or Harris.

 

[Coach Jumper]

the girls aren't getting the calls and then getting called for touch fouls.
Got to work the refs harder

 

[VolBall09]

At this point I’d at least like to see us close the gap.

 

[glv98]

Slow, tenative, not confident. Very disappointing, definitely a developmental setback. Let's see if any halftime adjustment can be made to at least play a little more efficiently so we only lose by 20.

I'm beginning to think it might be time for Horston to observe off the bench a bit more. She's very close to having the yips. She literally cannot even make an uncontested 3 foot pass cleanly.

 

[NoBackBoard]

The 2-3 zone was effective the first half of the 2Q then SC figured it out and went on a run. I’m struggling to find positives but proud of KK for battling and knocking down free throws.

Our offense has no movement or patience. We need much better passing. Honestly our players always seem unprepared when facing aggressive defenses. I wonder if we practice against aggressive defenders and if so how the passing and TOs look in practice.
