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

[th2421]

Lol at the announcers trying to say that it's Colorado's defense that made this a game. Or maybe because they kept all their starters in after Tennessee emptied their bench?

the end of our bunch don’t deserve to see the floor.

Striplin just cannot go. I’m sorry but she’s just two steps too slow on both ends. Not sure what is going on there. Stands and watches defensively and does not rebound.

11 assists to 22 turnovers

Yo they really about to get back in the game. Kellie come on man they’ve been playing chaotic for the last 4 minutes.

 

[Fatoldman]

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

Not this year she is not even close. And she is horrible defensively. Next year maybe. Not this year. She is finding out that college has big girls playing and that her high school accolades are meaningless as far as her opponents are concerned. The weight room, toughness, and a year concentrating on defense is what she needs.

Going forward out Pg needs to be 5’10 or taller

 

[Vols2015]

Turnovers are a major concern for me. Another 20+ turnover game.

 

[Fatoldman]

Hollingshed looks like she’s got some game!

So talented but at the same time so unpolished and raw.

 

[Vols2015]

Walker seems to really be pushing to be the one to score for some reason. She’s not the one to be the offensive go-to.

 

[VolBall09]

An unforced timeout!?


I’ll take it.

 

[TheMississippiVol]

Good strong minutes at the end by Karoline Striplin.

Yeah she’s just not quite there at the moment. She’s consistently making the wrong decision. Calling her number in the paint and deferring on the perimeter.


We don’t need her to score in the paint. We need her to knock down a mid-range jumper and hit an occasional three.

I’ll take it.

Lots of timeouts! For those who find them magical.

 

[Vols2015]

Karoline Striplin, another block!

Been saying this for the longest, she never passes the ball. She’s the Pg she needs to get others involved.

 

[Vols2015]

Horston’s composure, gets the steal, slows down tempo, hesitates, and get an open layup. Wow, she is just on another level in basketball IQ!

 

[Vols2015]

That’s what you need to do Jordan Walker! Assist and layup for Sara Puckett!

 

[Vols2015]

Karoline Striplin with the steal!

 

[VolBall09]

Karoline Striplin with the steal!

A few nice plays there after I called her out. Glad to see the response. She looked dazed when she first came in.

 

[th2421]

That’s what you need to do Jordan Walker! Assist and layup for Sara Puckett!

But also maybe if you're going to get to the free throw line this often, please work on your free throw shooting.

 

[Vols2015]

Kaia Wynn’s lack of awareness with the shot clock not being turned on. You have to know when to pull out and not try to score.

 

[Vols2015]

Karoline Striplin another block! 3 blocks!

 

[Rickster]

I admire Kellie for sticking with getting her players as many minutes as she can. It's nerve-wrecking for those who need instant gratification but she needs to rank and stack and everyone is getting playing time for that.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

One thing about Wynn she’s gonna gun it -_-
