Game Thread: (23/24) Lady Vols 69 - Colorado 51

[SGMVols]

Tennessee playing better, thankfully for Horston, but 8 turnovers after the first quarter, horrible, and Tamari is at least trying to get open, but not working right now.

If both defenders in the pick and roll go with the big, you don’t try to force the ball in there. Even high school teams know this

Wowzer. No one is allowed to change chairs, change socks, change anything. That was an awesome quarter for us. Way more energy and intensity across the board. And both Jordan H and Rickea at their best. And better Key!!! No one move!

 

[SGMVols]

Colorado can barely draw iron on jump shots most of the time. So we can probably get away with the usual slog to 60 points and still win this one easily.

 

[Rooster1]

LV’s blocking out on rebounds

 

[SGMVols]

I would play a heavily packed in zone all night. They can’t shoot a lick

 

[Rooster1]

Looks like the team now everyone expected early in season

 

[Orange_Mamba]

What a Sara and BK sighting before the third?

 

[Jax_Vol]

Hey hey...go Walker!

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Rickea is one of them ones, man

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Rickea makes it look easy.

 

[Vols2015]

Rickea Jackson and Jordan Horston putting on a clinic defensively, and offensively tonight!

 

[glv98]

The Jordan and Jackson of our dreams.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Very business like performance so far today.

 

[VolBall09]

Much better intensity on the glass and defensively. Now, can we do it for 40? And can we do it consistently?

Horston is looking really good tonight and Jackson has come to play. That’s what we need!

Tamari looks like someone at least lit a candle under her. (Ps, love you girl, got the merch to prove it. ).

Love seeing Jackson get after it on the glass, that’s what we have to have every night.

 

[Vols2015]

I don’t like Walker and Miles in the game at the same time…

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Baseline is going to be open gotta take advantage since they’re trapping high

 

[VolBall09]

This is what happens when you crash the glass! 3 on their best player and two free throws.

 

[Fatoldman]

Justinne is just not ready to play meaningful minutes this year. Too slow and unsure where she needs to be. Will get better with some minutes in blowout games.

 

[VolBall09]

Would have liked to have seen us be a bit more aggressive the last 4 minutes or so. They have been in the bonus since the 5:30 mark and we hardly took advantage. Long drought.

 

[VolBall09]

Justinne is just not ready to play any meaningful minutes this year.

I think she’ll get there, but the physicality is too much for her at the moment.

 

[Rooster1]

I was off in my prediction of a 15 point win, likely 25.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

I think she’ll get there, but the physicality is too much for her at the moment.

Stuck on 30 for a long minute

Turnovers still mind-numbing against a horrible team.

 

[Voltopia]

Hmm, a lot of fussing and fiddling out there. Still a good half. No reason they can’t improve from here.

 

[VolBall09]

Turnovers still mind-numbing against a horrible team.

As I always have, I blame the substitution patterns for a lot of that. So hard to get in any sort of rhythm with that many players in and out.

We played almost every player on the roster in the first half.
