Game Thread: (4/5) Lady Vols 61 - Auburn 71

[th2421]

If you’d told me Horston and Walker were a combined 11-16 and 3-3 on 3s and 5-6 on FTs and we’d only be up on Auburn by 1…

Looks like Emily was kicked back having a cigarette when that gal drove to the basket. Lol

I laughed out loud at this and I feel bad for doing it..

 

[Mr French]

Just selfish play

She's playing her way out of a top 10 selection.

 

[Voltopia]

Tennessee's FG %, 3PT %, their FT %, and rebounding total is better than Auburn's. The only reason Auburn is in this game is turnovers. Tennessee has no one to look at but themselves for this score. They're also entirely capable of winning this game, but they have to stop inflicting damage on themselves.

Finally getting some calls going our way. End 3rd quarter. 51-50. Burrell made a bad turnover. Turnovers are always hurting us. Much better overall play that quarter. Gotta finish strong. We do not want to lose to Auburn.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

TN leads by 1 at the end of the 3rd Qtr. But it sounds like we lost the game.

Well, coach really shouldn’t have subbed people in an out to close that quarter. Kellie, please don’t mess up what is gelling at the time!

I think she’s just pressing because her season was cut short. She needs to relax and do it within the team. There are plenty of opportunities if we run them.

 

[Volstylexx]

Emily out there is a complete joke. I have NEVER EVER understood people’s fascination with her. She can’t even rebound.

She’s like Bailey for the men’s team. We want to her succeed but she’s shown she’s just not capable. Those minutes have to go Puckett or anyone else.

 

[AntiochVol81]

Burrell won’t make a WNBA Team if she can’t even Dribble..

A good AD would talk to her about this.

 

[KrazyVolFan]

It all starts with DEFENSE

 

[Dak1219]

Yeah... in addition to under the offensive basket, her defensive rebounding on that last possession was rough. Just crazy given her size, it shouldn't happen.

I don't understand why Striplin isn't playing that backup position for Key. At least for rebounding purposes. She goes to the glass and will rebound the ball. We have lost serious ground everytime Emily has entered the game. The first quarter was telling. She is a great teammate and someone you want on your team for what she brings from the bench. She is too slow for the SEC.

 

[casetopia]

Puckett what was that?

 

[Putbacks]

Poor execution

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

TN forgot that there was only 7 seconds to shoot.

Agree, it's just been embarrassing for the girls tonight honestly.

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

I have never seen a team pick up their dribble like these girls do..

 

[therealitytheory]

Green was a huge loss. And I believe she'd have held Coulibaly down somewhat.

 

[Voluble2]

Let's waste more time dribbling outside the 3 pt line.

 

[Mr French]

Good lord.

 

[PerryCountyVol]

These announcers suck

 

[casetopia]

Auburn is playing hard. We better pick it up.

 

[cwbytruckers]

This is ridiculous the way they are so sloppy

 

[Voluble2]

Auburn wants it a lot more than we do
