Horston….sloooooowwww down and square up for your shot.

Agreed and FOLLOW THROUGH!

Need to go at Austin on offense. Get her in foul trouble. She’s ready to play today.

 

[Volstylexx]

Key not a factor defensively so far yet. That has to change.

 

[VolBall09]

Tamari playing more physical gets her those calls now. She’s so much stronger. Last season that would have been a blocked shot.

Yeah she has to make Austin feel her presence anytime she’s inside the 3 point line. Good observation.

Definitely. She might be tentative to keep from getting in early foul trouble.

 

[ttharp]

We’re hitting our free-throws, which is a great sign. Could be the difference

 

[VolBall09]

Miles is flat getting after it! Has changed the momentum single handedly.

 

[lvocd]

Nice move by Austin.

Yep the best coaching move so far and maybe she won’t come out.

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

Really good defense by the Lady Vols ..Keep it up ladies!

 

[therealitytheory]

Rae knocked down on the 3...wth??

Rae knocked down on the 3...wth??

definitely a foul

 

[VolBall09]

Burrell got hammered on that shot directly in front of him.

 

[th2421]

Sure looked like Burrell was fouled on that 3...?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

WOW .... no foul on Rae there at the last shot for 3. Refs watching a different game.
She was even knocked down & there was a no call.

 

[VolBall09]

Miles and Horston putting pressure on their call handlers in that zone. Making it really difficult to get Austin the ball. Good move changing up the defense. Austin is a talented offensive player.

 

[therealitytheory]

And while I'm on the refs...they've missed 3 illegal screens by UM. Again...wth?

 

[NoBackBoard]

Horston looks really locked in today. I see her instructing her teammates where to be on defense. Seems really invested today.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

We haven't played anywhere near our best, and we seem in control of this game. If we get some of these bunnies and FT's to falling for us, we'll win this game. They have trouble scoring.

Maube it's just the cameras today, but does it look to anyone else like Horston has lost some muscle mass recently? Since her illness she's definitely having some stamina issues, but I worry about her strength, too.

 

[VolBall09]

Puckett bucket!

 

[lvocd]

Puckett!!!

Some of that is just mid-season basketball shape. A lot more cardio right now and not as much time for the weight room.
