Game Thread: #23/24 TENNESSEE VS. #1/1 STANFORD

[Nute Gunray]

Looks like dr. Jekyll is finding a place to Hyde

The team I'm watching right now ending this third quarter is not the team that started out this game. Two things at this point sticking in my mind... why in such an important game against such a high-level opponent are we trying to play the entire bench? And why did we let a 12-3 run go without calling a time out

Kellie plays the entire bench because she believes this keeps fresh legs for defense and rebounding. She is following the substitution scheme of her mentor.

 

[GameTime]

Sounds like we are looking fairly ugly about now....

Coach what are the positives you see?

 

[I4Vols]

Actually the ladies are playing fairly decent defense, offense is this teams problem.

You and I are watching different games

I just don’t understand this philosophy. How can there every be any consistency when your changing your players every 2 minutes.

Their players > Our players

This may help with defense and rebounding but it’s terrible for offense.

 

[Coach Jumper]

7 minutes to go Tennessee 42 Stanford 62 the game is starting to look like they just want it to be over

 

[SGMVols]

Starting to feel like this is going to be first LV team to miss the tournament. They don‘t have a single quality win in non-conference. The ND win was clearly more about them being awful than this team turning a corner.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

So our starting PG JM has only 1 assist and 4 points on 2-9 shooting! This is our biggest offensive issue.

How many turnovers?

 

[Coach Jumper]

Update Tennessee 46 Stanford 65 4th quarter 5:32 to go

Because our coach feels like besides Davis the rest are truly equal in other words average.

 

[Nute Gunray]

This may help with defense and rebounding but it’s terrible for offense.

This scheme works great when you have 3 or 4 good offensive players or one great offensive player and 2 good ones.

 

[PG1]

How man

How many turnovers?

A lot.

Thank you

 

[Decker Moss]

They’ve given up. We may lose by 30.

 

[Putbacks]

Axle, meet pavement.

 

[Nute Gunray]

I am not giving up on the Lady Vols. The offensive problems can be solved.

 

[SGMVols]

I’m not going to watch the UConn game. Geno will run it up on us if we let him. And I think we’re going to let him.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Tennessee 46 Stanford 71 4th quarter 2:38 to go the team is playing like it wants to go home. Right now I call a timeout and I challenge my team to leave this court like they're going to enter the next court. I challenge them to give their best effort right now while there's nothing to play for

 

[SGMVols]

I am not giving up on the Lady Vols. The offensive problems can be solved.

Disagree. This is what the team is. It’s just like the men’s team. But the men are bringing in a truckload of talent next year to fix it. Not much is going to change with this program until Harper recruits better.

 

[Voltopia]

What's the worst loss Tennessee's ever had at Maples? I'm starting to think this may be it. 27 points down with a minute remaining.

 

[T_Vol376]

How many turnovers?

Box score says 12.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Final Stanford's 78 Tennessee 51

Trust the process?? I’m trying.

The rims can’t be enlarged or lowered.
