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

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Horston called for "palming the ball". Haven't seen that call in 45 years now.

Looked like she damn near completely picked it up lol

 

[vol94]

There we go, three ball!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Any fans in Orange in the stands watching UT today?

 

[Volstylexx]

Looks like UConn turns it over like us. If turnovers end about equal- TN will be the winner.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

We have Sara and Rae in, please let them shoot.

 

[th2421]

No moment is too big for Sara Puckett.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Will this game go into overtime today. They seem equal in play so far.

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

Keys needs to work harder to get open..

 

[Volfaninfl2]

3 by Sara, nice save by Rae!

 

[vol94]

Hello volnation! I’d appreciated it if someone could answer my questions (page 6 of this thread) regarding Lady Vols! Thanks!

 

[Volstylexx]

Can’t expect Key to close out to the three point line. Major trouble for us if their posts keep hitting that corner 3.

Do we even guard the wide open shots? Inside out always is our Achilles heel

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Wow .... that wasn't a foul on UConn for mugging Key underneath there?

Kelly sending a message on tess starting. ON turnovers.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Key has to be aggressive or we have no chance

Sometimes during the games that we play. This game just started.

 

[VolBall09]

Evenly matched for the most part so far. Both teams look a little nervous but focused.

 

[cwbytruckers]

If we do win, will their be an asterisk next to it since ducharme and bueckers aren’t playing?

Dont be shocked when they return UCONN winds up in the final four

 

[Vols2015]

Key is going to have to get out on the perimeter. The UCONN posts can hit those shots.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Can’t blame Key she’s posting hard guards just not giving her the ball.

I haven’t watched the Lady Vols play every game, including the loss @ Auburn and Florida. I’ve read posts about losing Green has hurt this team. So a few questions to those in the know, and thanks in advance for your response.
1. Is Green out for the rest of the year?
2. Why so many turnovers, esp against ball pressure?
3. Lastly, and I know nobody has a crystal ball. What are the expectations for this team? They were ranked in top ten a few weeks ago.

I plan on watching the game today and following the game thread for insight. Thanks again!

1. yes she is out for the year
2. we don’t really have an elite point guard, our main ball handler is a 2-3 guard.
3. Our record is way better then expected so far this year.

You come back and tell me if it changes

We’re probably going to have to take our chances. They’ll backdoor cut us to death if we lift Key to the perimeter to contest those post jumpers.
