Game isn’t over but just don’t think we have the legs to get this one done.

Why isn’t Rickea not getting touches in the paint?

She's being smothered in the paint.

 

[Sportslady]

Key almost shove in the fans

Yep. I’m in 4th row and can see well. Key was pushed hard by Cadorsa (sp) and nothing. If it wasn’t so sad it would be comical.

We are only down 13. If we play with confidence we can make this a game in second half.

I'm thrilled we're not down by 40. Very good adjustment with whatever they saw allowing RJ to drop dimes. Keep poise, keep grinding and keep it respectable. Find RJ in the post, she's been open a couple of times

I’m at the game. Starting out the gate there was an intimidating factor. SC Crowd is unreal, loud and it seems to affect not only TN but the refs to some extent. Our girls are flying all over the floor and no calls. A lot of frustration. Pushing, shoving by SC but if TN looks at a player a foul is called. We let this game get in their heads. We will see if they can calm down second half. Have to let this stuff happen and keep going.

Refs don't need a crowd to call game for the team
Tennessee is playing

I agree with the no calls, but Rickea Jackson is not intimidated by any player, maybe other are but they are nothing to fear. Yes they have a better roster but this is basketball.

Don’t get too excited. Our little comeback was against the scrubs for the most part. We’re playing scared and lack confidence. Need to just rip and run.

 

[glv98]

27-15 rebounding disparity. Gotta rebound with them to stay close.

 

[brittannica]

Signs of life in the second quarter were good. Wouldn’t hate Kellie letting them get some extra shots up during halftime to ease some jitters.

 

[glv98]

The 25% shooting not helping much either. But I like how they hung together, stayed calm and kept communicating

More than once

Push her back

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Our high scorers are Spear 8, Striplin 6. Going to have to get Rickea some good shots.

It’s like they never run after a loose rebound, or too slow to get it. I really can’t wait until we get some quicker players.

 

[LVol]

SC said they are more physical than us. We need to come out like bulls in a China shop

 

[brittannica]

Statistically it’s also hard to keep 25% shooting up. I would hope if we are calm and stick to our game plan the shots will fall. We’ll see…

 

[Volfaninfl2]

The announcer actually said, you’re gonna want to keep your hand on your remote, so you can watch replays of Fuwiley.

I may puke.

 

[mudcat1973]

Jackson for2

 

[mudcat1973]

Key looks tired

 

[mudcat1973]

Yes but they need on on the court.

 

[volnationnj]

[Volfaninfl2]

Rickea for 3!
