Game Thread: (7/7) Lady Vols 59 - (RV/RV ) Florida 84

[87&91ALUM]

29-36 at half and making #7 Lady Vols look real bad. Turnovers-way to many again. Hustle- Florida taking the ball from us like candy from a baby. We close the score but second half have to dominate without fouling out on the road.

 

[I4Vols]

I’m sorry, but Burrell as a first round pick? Don’t think so.

Fulkerson Syndrome

 

[Gilmore]

Another classic end of quarter shot by Walker. Never looked for anyone else.

 

[JCP201]

Something happened to this team before the Auburn game. They're not the same. They don't look like a top 10 team....but they did before. Something happened.

Green?

 

[Volfan2012]

Turn the ball over 13 times and only down 7 is fairly amazing. I don't know what were doing but if we can't take care of the ball in the second half this game is over. All we have to do is take care of the ball to win this game don't know if we have it in us Auburn all over again. Why is Burrell bringing the ball up we need guards badly.

 

[cwbytruckers]

This game is too big for Harper
There, I said it, but if she can't open her damn mouth and tell her star Rae to not bring the ball up court, then as a coach she needs to be called out

i think she is trying to coach like PS but she doesnt have the same level of talent to let players play through mistakes

 

[volforlife10]

This is type of team we should beat by 20 if we're really top 10. The Auburn game...then the massive struggle w Arkansas at home which could've easily been a loss....now this.

so south carolina isn’t a top 10 team? they beat florida by 12..

Kellie has to get a point guard. That should be priority number one.

Make that 2 point guards.

I like Miles and I think she should be more aggressive shooting. She passes up some good looks sometimes and it trades for a worse shot.

 

[creekdipper]

Gonna try to come back from 20+ down at halftime tonight.

Down only 7 at the half.

Patience is a virtue.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Walker is not the person to take the last shot.

Played worst quarter of ball all year and down by 7.

This team is going to be an early exit team in the tournaments. Too many dry spells and inconsistent play.

Must be in the water in Knoxville because men drinking it too.

Rae does not need to handle the ball much. I agree with that.

 

[zaqhhh]

To me, we look slow too often. SC has size that is also quick, but ours just don't move the same way. Would like to see us recruit some elite speed and handling.

 

[I4Vols]

We don't want to get in a free throw shooting battle with team Fla

 

[LVol]

Thank you Key for making free throws

 

[Mr French]

The men must have switched to Gatorade against Tamu lol.

 

[djohnnyg]

so south carolina isn’t a top 10 team? they beat florida by 12..

Okay....20 might be a stretch...but the trend from Auburn to Arky to this...? I don't know what happened...but something has messed up this team.

 

[Vols2015]

Alexus Dye doesn’t need to settle for the jumpers. She’s too quick and good not to get layups in the paint. She will be faster than almost all her defensive matchups she plays.

 

[volnationnj]

It’s definitely making me worried. I feel like we are having some chemistry issues since Burrell is back. She does not seem to be playing within the system everyone else was.

She’s an outstanding individual player but we do not need her to do it all. Nor can she.

I've wondered about this also.
On one hand, it doesn't make sense that you would be better without your best player. On the other hand, you have to look at the results.

It’s called messing with a starting lineup that wasn’t broke. We did fine with our starting 5 pre Rae…. I think it has something to do with that.

 

[Ovol]

Burrell and Horston combine for 9 turnovers. 7 points. 3 rebounds.

 

[Volstylexx]

Horston with 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block and 5 turnovers.
Key with 4 points, 5 rebounds
Walker with 0 points, 1 rebound, 3 turnovers
Rae with 2 points, 1 rebound, 4 turnovers

WTH?!? FIGURE IT OUT LVs!

 

[Coach Jumper]

Walker is not the person to take the last shot.

Played worst quarter of ball all year and down by 7.

This team is going to be an early exit team in the tournaments. Too many dry spells and inconsistent play.

TIME OUT

don't just let em run!

 

[creekdipper]

Puckett should get the most shots of anyone on the team, then Key, then Rae, then Horston.

I believe Darby is 2 for 2 for 6 points.

 

[SGMVols]

Green?

I just can’t buy into the idea that losing a backup center is the complete explanation for this team’s regression.
