Game Thread: #23/23 Lady Vols versus #3/5 UCONN

[Rockytoprowdy]

If I were Rennia, no one else would touch the dang ball on the offensive end of the floor.

 

[RAVOL]

I'm getting ok out going small with Mass.

 

[Volfan2012]

We need some smaller guards that can pass and handle the ball. KK has five missed layups and five turnovers by herself.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

KK plays like she is 5 foot 6 , 475 pounds with 12 inch arms. It is agonizing watching her play.

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

IF they can get the turnovers under control, this matchup on a neutral court in the tournament could be completely different.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

11 turnovers 11 pts 2nd half..

 

[UT Challenger]

I would for once like to see Harper call a time out just to get up in there faces and challenge them to compete. I am not sure it is in her

 

[feathersax]

Tick tock. Time running out. LV team is big but slow.

 

[Voluble2]

Meh, we were outclassed in all the ways we thought we would be. It just took a little while for UConn to settle down. Most disappointing thing is that we quit as soon as they hit us in the mouth.

Turning the ball over on 41% of our possessions is just flat out ridiculous.

Just no mental toughness at all. Same as it has been since Pat got sick.

 

[JCP201]

we are young. I like this team much better than the ones in the last few years.

Tamari Key is a freshman. Lauren Cox looked like trash at that age also. Tamari's light will turn on sooner rather than later.

Griffin is a freshman too, but she relished the challenge.

Key is not a player.

So disappointed in our 2nd half effort. I'll leave it there.

 

[aretha57]

Rarely have I been so thoroughly disgusted

 

[37620VOL]

Bye, key

 

[Coach Jumper]

We're just used Hearth second time out with 3 minutes to go down 16 points

 

[Vols2015]

I find it bothersome of the lack of effort too, but I’m not calling them trash. I think that is unnecessary rhetoric. You can critique someone’s game, effort, energy, etc, but we shouldn’t result to slander.

 

[Switch 625]

UCONN players are actually making basketball moves to get to the basket.

 

[zaqhhh]

31-11 2nd half right now

We had 26 points with 6:15 left
We have scored 16 in the next 24:00

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Uconn has 20 more FG attempts..

 

[NoBackBoard]

Taking care of the basketball and fixing the turnover epidemic has not been a priority of the coaching staff all year. This is the result. Players don’t just age out of it. You have to address it and hold players accountable. This is the national stage in late January, and we look like a competitive middle school team.

And then there is the rebounding disgrace.....

Details, details, details.....

Yep, Harper needs to be held accountable. Turnovers have been an issue all year and it seems to be getting worse.

Tamari Key is a freshman. Lauren Cox looked like trash at that age also. Tamari's light will turn on sooner rather than later.

I was just about to say Key will get better if she wants to work! She will be good...

Horston will get better because she loves the game. She will get better because she will work

 

[Cees]

Every pass they throw is 2 feet too high. No bounce passes ever and the passes had no snap to them.

 

[PG1]

Honestly the first half was a strong effort but the 2nd half has been a disaster. This team is young and has huge upside. I just hope Key can toughen up and that Horston/Burrell can become more disciplined players offensively. You watch Davis, Massengill and Brown and they're all playing within the flow of the game and not forcing it where Jordan and Rae are just out of control and dont have decision making skills at this point.

Burrell will be the same as a senior that she is now. Wild. Sad but true.

we still suck....just not as bad as the previous few years.

She must be watching the men’s games. Barnes thinks he can roll them over to the next game...
