Game Thread: (5/6) Lady Vols 84 - (19/20) Kentucky 58

The iron is being kind to Howard.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

First foul called on Howard .... need to get her to foul more today.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Horston got fouled with her pocket picked and no call but, she goes to pick the KY player and called for foul. Cmon refs. Just let them play and swallow this whistles.

That foul on Key is having a huge impact, also not sure why Walker is so scared with the ball the last few games. She looks like a different player.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Both teams are wanting to get out & run early. Darby for the 3 ball.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nice three by Darby but, she shot that with nobody to rebound.

 

[lvocd]

Well, we knew this would be everyone’s new strategy. Press, press, press.

Ugh.

P.S. Thank you, Tess!

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Why pick up your dribble right across half court that's why stupid basketball

 

[87&91ALUM]

Cmon Tennessee.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Bad start. Cant shoot... Don't like this

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

KY is up four on the Lady Vols.
Commercial timeout.

 

[Volstylexx]

Very bad stretch of play here. Missed layups leading to open 3s on the other end. YUCK

 

[TN1111]

Great! Looks like we’re going to let Howard score 40.

 

[87&91ALUM]

9-13. We gotta think before we shoot. Turnovers are not helping. We did make a few nice shots. Time out.

 

[Voluble2]

That layup miss by Dye is as ugly as you will ever see. Pretty much emblematic of how we have started this game.

I’ll get flack for this, but I absolutely HATE that so many women head coaches end up feeling like they need to hire their husbands in order to make their lives work.

As chuckiepoo said, there are a lot of different factors that go into hiring your spouse. Just maybe they enjoy being with their significant other. I'm sure you know how much time and travel is spent, as a headcoach for a top D1 team, just on recruiting. Then there's practices, games and promoting your team. If you want to see your spouse, he/she better be close by. Then (I'm pretty sure of this) there are some coaches who look forward to getting away from their spouse for long stretches of time.
Now that I think of it, what's wrong with (And I'm paraphrasing) "making your life work" ?

 

[VolBall09]

Not liking what I’m seeing so far. Quick shooting the ball and too much up and down.

Have to finish those layups when breaking the press and they will come out if it. If we don’t sort that out we’re going to see it every game the rest of the season.

 

[Vols2015]

Horston and Dye both have missed 2 easy layups. Cannot leave points off the board ladies! Go Lady Vols!

 

[Volfan2012]

A lot of easy misses for us. Walker not playing very well. Hopefully we get better.

 

[Mr French]

Geez. Girls looking a little nonchalant out there.

 

[SGMVols]

Three kids from Tennessee starting for UK

 

[lvocd]

Oh my gawd. These wide open close-range misses are killing us. And killing ME.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

How do you get a steal and head straight to the corner where you know their trapping?

 

[Volfan2012]

Does no good to beat the press if you can't make the easy shot.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Great! Looks like we’re going to let Howard score 40.

Always the way it is.
