Game Thread: #23/RV LADY VOLS VS. STETSON

[VolBall09]

Emily is better than a lot are giving her credit for. She gets good position on the block on offense.

She’ll get there. She’s still a little slow, hasn’t caught up to the speed of the college game yet.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Only 13 turnovers this game, with 19 assists and 48 rebounds for the team

I think Kellie is really preparing this team for any possible scenario? She had Jordan and Jaz on the bench to have Rennia run point. That made Rae the primary scorer of sorts and then she left her in as the primary scorer, rebounder, etc in the 4th.

My favorite thing was Massengill was forced to be aggressive on the offensive end in the 4th that combo out there. When Saunders made 3 fouls in a row Jaz looked over for a sub for Emily none ever came. Jaz looked like what in the world. Haha

Also Key didn’t get much playing time... I am thinking you can’t be 6’6” and not be aggressive on the boards?!? It’s a learning lesson and she is going to be a good one

Our next opponent, Arkansas Pine Bluff, is playing against Milwaukee on ESPN+ now. It’s halftime. Apparently AP-B lost a big lead before the half.

 

[VolBall09]

Telling side by side of last year vs this year. We had technically a much more talented team a year ago and Stetson was 1-7.

The things I am liking the best about the first five games is how much better Davis is defensively. Horston is really great already and Davis is ten times better than she was last season on the defensive end. Also the way were defending the dribble drive this year thus far is encouraging.

kk may get that starting spot back before it is said and done.

I’m pleased to see she seems to be responding. No pouting, just better play. Tonight was Key’s turn to sit and think about it, just didn’t have her head in it tonight from the jump.

i cant wait for this team to get done with these tasty cupcakes and get on to the real challenges!!

Yes, in a very short time Davis has become a lock-down defender, which may be the single most noticeable and helpful improvement to the program except for the new staff.

Lawdy! The Arkansas Pine-Bluff coach has a Pat Summitt-like stare!

 

[Amb3096]

If Mass could shoot this team would be fabulous.....

She ended up with a very nice stat line...one of her better games, albeit against weak competition.

I fell asleep just as the 4th qrt. started. Dang you, Mickey.

FYI: Ark P-B is another tiny team — reaaaallly short and skinny — but they are quick. Tennessee will have to make crisp passes because they are good at getting in the passing lanes. They’re getting points off turnovers.

They were ranked third to last a season ago, so we should dominate from start to finish.

Tenn wins by 27 points tonight. You can watch the replay of what you missed.

 

[Ladyvol777]

I'm Loving me some Jazmine Massengill. So happy she scored tonight. She played strong defense. She don't have many turnovers. Don,t do things to loose the game. I watch her last High School game in the Dicks tournament she had 38 points. If I read her lips right tonight after she missed a shot she sad a bad word HEHEHE. I love what coach Kellie Harper is doing with this team. As always go Lady Vol's.

 

[Lucy]

Just love Rae! Shots were not falling tonight so she decides to just own the boards in Q4.
Double double. Windex!!!!
Think Horston could be in running for top freshman this year.

 

[th2421]

Favorite stat tonight is 19 assists on 25 field goals! I noticed at one point we had assists on 10 of our first 11.

I would really like to see no more than 15 turnovers tonight. Time for Kellie to start coaching this carelessness out of the team against an opponent that should be overmatched...

13 Turnovers. Damnit Kellie, you're winning me over...

 

[FormerLadyVolFan]

According to the ‘Coach Talk’ before the game tonight, their goal was to reduce turnovers, box out on rebounds and mix in some man defense.

13 Turnovers. Damnit Kellie, you're winning me over...

 

[mandyleanne]

13 Turnovers. Damnit Kellie, you're winning me over...

Only 3 in the 2nd half.

 

[Knox-a-rue]

Can you say Tua Tagovailoa?

Not really, now that you mention it. Always been a struggle.

 

[Creekdog]

MIckey D is the worst play by play person on the planet... imho

Don't agree. The worst is Bob Kessling with Dearstone a close second.

 

[IPleadInsanity]

Dearstone has my vote. He must own the station. Can't think of another reason for him to be announcing basketball.
