Game Thread: (7/8) Lady Vols 70 - Ole Miss 58

[mlindsay]

We play championship defense and we're relentless rebounders and Ole Miss just couldn't compete.

However, our PGs were not good today and kept us from closing out the game in proper fashion. And we HAVE to shoot FTs better...

Our PGs were also beat up majority of the game and the refs allowed it

Great Job Jordan Houston,, been critical in the
past about your turnovers but you have matured
into a fine lady basketball player.

So..this was a great win. TK was swarmed ALL game!! Having her in there made it possible for our guards to be open to shoot or drive the ball. Which is also why it was smart not to swat at every ball and get into foul trouble. Horston is looking good! She’s understanding her game, told, and moments. Rae continues to find her legs. I loved she hit a couple FT’s, she’ll be back sooner rather than later. I love Dye’s game! A few times she was open on the perimeter and idk if she doesn’t have a three point shot but she should find one it’d compliment her midrange game so well. That shot is sweet! DARBY. Yes ma’am! She looked really good in this game. Walker was a bit off but aggressive. Green gave very very good minutes as she always does. Puckett gave good minutes and was aggressive in them.

Announcers finally said it, they’re looking like a potential final 4 team.

2 free throws today was not her best but Jordan Horston was ballinnnn

Thanks. I knew it was low scoring for her. Maybe the next game she'll do a lot better.

Austin won’t have much of a pro career unless she gets more physical. She was babied pretty hard by the officials today. Made a living at the line off touch fouls while Tamari has been mauled.

I can’t agree my fellow friend. Austin will have as long of a career in the pros as she wants . It will be up to her to decide how good she wants to be. She has all the tools on the offensive end her physical play will need to get stronger in the W. She will get her shot and then some in the WNBA . Coaches are salivating over her potential whether she lives up to it is on her. I’m going on a limb and saying Tamari Key will be In The lottery next season. Bueckers (early entry) Boston and Key are my top 3 Haley Jones Is my runner up at 4

tess darby with one of her better allround games.

Ole Miss was really scared of Key today the way they played her really opened it up for the other Tennessee players and they delivered great games by Jordan, Alexus, and Tess.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

its good think some are not coach. you all would have run darby to the transfer portal!

Mudcat I know you are big Darby supporter and I want you to know we were all really proud of Tess if she didn’t hit those shots it would have been a completely different game but I just want consistency from her. Her defense wasn’t too bad today either she should really be proud of herself!!!

 

[JCP201]

What exactly will Ole Miss do once Austin leaves?

Seriously, that was there whole team.
Great win by our Lady VOLS. They are really impressive.

 

[Volfan2012]

tess darby with one of her better allround games.

Her best game as a Lady Vol 13 points 3 rebound and 2 steals made a lot of plays today.

What exactly will Ole Miss do once Austin leaves?

Ha! go back to being a bottom dweller in the SEC

 

[UT Challenger]

What exactly will Ole Miss do once Austin leaves?

Go back to being the same ole miss that everyone beats

 

[xtpsrh08123]

Was the coach jawing at Coach Harper?
GBO!!

I thought that as well when they had the camera on Coach yo. She was a bit extra today ! In the words of Tamari Key “Did all that…and still lost “

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Ha m! go back to being a bottom dweller in the SEC

and not have half of the (LV) fan support

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Please stop, uncalled for

If the shoe fits…
Good day!

 

[KrazyVolFan]

Not too worried still early if she was playing like in February then we should be worried

I think she needs a gimme game with no worries or expectations. Just get on the floor and shoot her way back into rhythm. Unfortunately I do see one anytime soon. She is going to have to do it on the job and we need her healthy. Sooner rather than later. IDK just have her as a ? right now.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Does anybody know if Burrell had any points today?

Two fts at least

 

[alexvol]

It was a tough road game against a fairly athletic and pesky defensive team. Still working her way back.

Glad she did not play much in 4th quarter because there was too much rough house /physical play being let go by Ole Miss and she could have easily been hurt again

 

[LVsinceJV]

Ha! go back to being a bottom dweller in the SEC

lol let's hope!!

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

U mad or nah? I do agree ole miss was doing too much!! Trying to slam Brooklyn to the ground when she’s just trying to hold the ball due to respect of the shot clock running out was ridiculous . Lose with class that will get you further coach yo.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

So, is anyone worried about Rae? I know she hasn't played a lot but would have thought she would shake the rust off a little faster. Probably over thinking it! Good win for the ladies.

The way the rest of the team is playing, she may have to compete to win her spot back!!

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

Period

 

[Volfan2012]

These road wins at places like Ole Miss and Arkansas are huge a lot of teams are going to lose when they play at both places.

 

[Rickster]

13 points shooting 50% from three and 4 rebounds. We see you Tess!!!

 

[mlindsay]

I swear — these thug bitches best back off our players. I’m sick as hell watching defenses devolve into this ******** bball.

I don't know who you are nor do I gaf but what we not doing is this dumb ignorant ****. Regardless of how you feel they played or their coach allowed them to play, we are not about to call these young ladies out of their name. There are better ways to express yourself and how you feel but inappropriate name calling isn't one as you would be livid if someone was saying the same about you or someone you care about.

This is the stuff many of us talk about on here that some of y'all who rarely visit don't seem to understand. You want us back at a level of dominance its going to take great players and we can't run them off when they (or those representing them or coaches of other programs who don't want us to rise again) get on here and see you being ignorant. DO BETTER!
