Game Thread: (25) Lady Vols vs. (13) Kentucky

[sisaq]

They should realize by now that Kellie is the answer. Kellie was nice, we would've beat them by 30point

 

[Volfan2012]

Rae is a player. Glad she has another year left

She could have two don't know if she will use them she looks like a high draft choice after next season.

Howard is a great talent. No hard feelings against her. She was having fun on Instawhatever, and we're just having a laugh. It's all in good rivalry.

I expect we'll in for a war in the rematch. Hope I'm wrong and that we continue to improve.

Hey, we've already beaten Ark and KY...two of the five that were ranked ahead of us early. If we hadn't abused the pooch against GA, we'd be in great shape in the standings.

Indiana (whom we beat at their place) put away NW on the road. Stanford has lost twice. Louisville bately survived Wake to win by two. Conn barely survived us.

Anything can happen this year. Despite still living dangerously with our passes, we're getting more and more consistent and getting better every game.

Very proud of this team and coaching staff.

This is the way you do it. Recruits, take note!

You've got to be able to see this from the bench too...she played beautifully and then went into an implosion,,,sub her when you see it coming

Up 26. She engineered the drubbing that occurred in the 3rd. Let her have fun. That pass to Saunders, is all on Saunders. Valuable lessons from the video footage. Her mission was to involve everyone in this game. She did. Every one came alive. This team has desperately needed a leader. She’s it. Yanking her cuz she got a little soft during garbage minutes is not how to reward the game’s MVP.

Rhyne Howard learning the danger of talking before you have the win in hand

What did she say before the game? You're the second person I have read that said this, wonder if that is the reason Elzy had her on the floor with us up by 20 plus points with less than 3 minutes to go

 

[Volfan2012]

Howard like to extend that forearm to clear space used it a lot today. Refs need to call that it is a foul. She got away with doing it several times.

 

[UT Challenger]

That's not dirty,just trying to gain an advantage. Dirty is throwing an elbow

It's a foul when you push off to get an advantage. Howard did it all game and never got called for it

4 turnovers came during “garbage” time so... I’m not mad about it. The 9 in the first half were the killers. After that they had 1 total in the third and the additional 3 in the 4th that I worry about were due to rushing or not meeting the pass from our main players which is a problem that lead to the only losses we have this year. If they can clean that up, which they honestly have gotten a lot better in this area, this team is truly a contender. I don’t think we’re giving them enough credit on their trajectory. Those passes Horston made in the 4th would have been caught by different players.

Are we going to do post game analysis player by player and do grades? I though this was a thing here at one point.

 

[creekdipper]

One of my favorite moments was when Howard was shooting two FT and missed the first one. The look of total disgust on her face was priceless, but the best part was when she just threw a line drive on the second attempt...and it went in.

 

[chuckiepoo]

I wasn't knocking our team. I think they
did great. Unfortunately some of the
Pollsters don't.

In spite of themselves, Lobo and Andy made nice and talked nice about the performance. That was on the national stage. Of course they got plenty of video up from the UConn game too.

 

[Volfan2012]

So Jon Harper and the post players anybody wish to post a negative comment now. I think he is bringing them along nicely. Even Emily is starting to look like a player.

 

[sisaq]

BRING ON,VANDERBILT!

They're done for the season.

 

[Coach Jumper]

 

[mudcat1973]

Should post up on that tiny guard.

She was on Marta last possession and it was an easy layup if anyone had gotten her the ball.

throw marta the ball when she open for a 3 . she gets most her points on putbacks

Yeah, it quickly became Bueckerfest.

When Lobo asked what happens in woodsheds in the South, Andy should have quickly shot back, "You get your a** beat."

 

[Volfan2012]

Howard was working hard for a quarter or so when she saw she couldn't shake Burrell she starting doing some ball watching. She tried to get something going in the last quarter to pad her stats but not much from her today. Believe she will be ready when we go to Kentucky will have to bring a huge game to win there.

 

[sisaq]

I don't see any one giving credit to Kellie.. I've heard some people asked if she can coach.. All the credit to her and her staff.

 

[Coach Jumper]

agree

 

[Chippo]

Hey Darth,,I bet you even think we did well.

 

[Volfan2012]

Marta and that turn around post move with that two inch vertical was hilarious. Luck she got fouled overall played another excellent game today.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

So Jon Harper and the post players anybody wish to post a negative comment now. I think he is bringing them along nicely. Even Emily is starting to look like a player.

I take it back gladly

 

[Coach Jumper]

I don't see any one giving credit to Kellie.. I've heard some people asked if she can coach.. All the credit to her and her staff.

Of course not,,,haven't you heard...."Players win games coaches lose them!"
I'll be the first,,,great game plan today Coach K!

 

[Volfan2012]

The game was well in hand when she made those last two turnovers. She wasn't getting much support getting the ball down court. Overall 7 assist and 4 turnovers a line anyone can accept.

 

[mudcat1973]

walker did not try to hoop much. key &rae had real good games . hoston & kas had soild games and marta davis is getter on track. salary did not hurt us when she gotto play. if they play like today unconn will not want to be in tenn bracket.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Hey Darth,,I bet you even think we did well.

Darthvid-19 goes into to quarantine when we win big
