Game Thread: (7/7) Lady Vols 56 - (10/9) Connecticut 75

[LVol]

Charge on Rae was ridiculous.

 

[shiverz]

Walker is doing a better job on Fudd. Make her put on the floor and contest the pull up jumper. Leaving Fudd wide open this game will get in to double digits real quick.

 

[SGMVols]

That Burrell charge was on Horston for rejecting the ball screen when she could’ve used it to get switched on Edwards.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Key has 2 shots, 2 rebounds... This is a big problem

 

[casetopia]

No idea what rae is even doing. We started losing when she came back. Think its a chemistry issue thats not being talked about.

 

[Coach Jumper]

call a charge when the connie is in the air???

 

[Peas29]

UConn been setting moving screens the entire game. But the rebounding is all on the ladies…

 

[SGMVols]

25 pts ugh. This team is so challenged offensively.

They can’t even get a clean pass, much less a good shot.

 

[Amb3096]

Make no doubt about it- this is the worst UConn team Geno has fielded in the last 15 years. They’ll be a different team with their players back soon. This is a huge wasted opportunity by LVs

Yeah, they should be all over them with no Ducharme.

Foul trouble could be the difference here.

 

[TN1111]

Please Kellie, in the off season...hire an offensive specialist that can draw up plays.

We're all pulling for you to succeed here.

Key has 2 shots, 2 rebounds... This is a big problem

Agreed. She needs to want the ball and play more aggressively, but that’s not in her DNA

 

[I4Vols]

Terrible offensive foul call right there.

The man ref is awful
- missed out of bounds call right in front of him
- err'd on travel call on Horston
- wrong on Burrell charge,
- not sure if he made the foul call off ball on Puckett, but...

there is nothing else to say other than he sees only Vol issues
On the other hand, you gotta put the ball in the hoop

We can definitely still win this game. Our post players have to come alive and finish a shot. Burrell needs to play within the offense and it would be nice to get Darby a couple looks in transition.

Puckett is playing hard but has been a little out of it defensively. Burrell is having a hard time keeping people in front and Sarah should have helped two or three times when she didn’t. Nervous about guarding a player bigger than her.

Charge on Rae was ridiculous.

UConn player was no way set!!!

 

[cwbytruckers]

im sick and tired of watching the lady vols run no offense. its dribble dribble heave it up from anywhere or bull run over someone. CKH was a point guard and she cant teach how to run an offensive play???

 

[JCP201]

VOLS look out of whack. UCONN doesn't look all that great, but we look worse.

They can take her hubbys job.

 

[Gilmore]

Bad call on Burrell but she needs to play with more court awareness.

 

[I4Vols]

Getting hosed by the refs was kind of a given.

just one ref is making the difference, he's awful

 

[creekdipper]

Got home in time to see terrible offensive foul called on Rae. CONN player(s) left their feet and jumped into Rae. Announcer acknowledged that it was a "tough call" that "could have gone either way."

 

[Caz]

Agreed. They even start the weave almost at half court. We clearly have no idea what we are doing.

 

[Volstylexx]

Only down 7 is crazy considering we are 7 for 27 from field and being outrebounded by 10

That’s how bad this UConn team is. 4 losses already this season and 3 of their wins in January were by single digits To Big East teams….

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I cant even blame the refs, we aren't rebounding or fighting at all.

 

[Amb3096]

Tenn also luck that Williams can't buy a shot. She carried them last time out.

 

[alexvol]

Not sure TN or UConn stand a chance to beat SC ?

I am not sure if either one can beat Carson Newman right now.
