Couldn’t have started much worse. Looks a little better with a 3 by Rickea and Spear.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Why is Wynn even shooting, just pass the ball.

 

[volnationnj]

Wynn shooting 3's is not going to get them back in the game.

 

[Terrells Bay88]

19-6 at the end of the first quarter.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Defenders sagging on Wynn really stalls our offense. Hopefully next season both guards we put on the floor can shoot the 3.

 

[Vols2015]

Plain and simple, we have got to make shots, and box out on defense. No excuse for not boxing out!

Q1. SC19 UT 6

Time for the spin doctors to tell us about moral victories?

 

[volforlife10]

rickea has to actually mingle in the paint. she has to stop hanging out around the three point line..

 

[travis929]

Well, the good news is that we can't play much worse than that.

 

[knoxvol52]

19-6 after 1 quarter. Seems like the 3rd game in 3 days is starting to affect Lady Vols.

Maybe come back in 2nd Quarter..

 

[volnationnj]

Down 19-6. Two 3pt shots are all they could muster in the first quarter. SC was only 8 of 22 from the floor. But when you counter with 2 of 15 you're going to be behind.

I was about to say the same thing, they let her catch it 30 out and she settles for a 25 foot jumper.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Ooooof

 

[travis929]

South Carolina's size is really making us rush our shots. Puckett in particular has missed a couple of easy ones.

 

[JustaChicken]

Wow.. wasn't expecting this

 

[mr.checkerboards]

When the talent disparity in this big.... that extra game makes a huge difference. We dont have the legs to keep up today.

 

[cwbytruckers]

This is the Lady Vols we have all come to know.

 

[mcannon1]

This is the Lady Vols we have all come to know.

Sadly, yes.

 

[VolBall09]

Danger time

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Standing around on offense. No cutting whatsoever without the ball.

Dawn has turned it today and ready to play and lady VOLS are shell shocked how cocks come out playing

 

[volforlife10]

we’re gassed. south carolina is just not who you wanna play after back to back games.

 

[volnationnj]

Uh oh. I might not make it past halftime.
They HAVE to start playing with more determination. South Carolina doing whatever they want.
What SC is doing to Jackson is guarding her with a smaller, quick player. And when Rickea posts up, she's instantly double teamed. It's an effective strategy so far.

 

[1reVOLver]

Now 23-6. We are shooting 2/16. Arrrrrgh!

 

[Vols2015]

All I ask Lady Vols, is fight. Please don’t give up.
