Game Thread: (7/8) Lady Vols 73 - (25/23) Texas A&M 45

[ttharp]

Layups, ladies.

 

[VolBall09]

This group should have come out and the starters should have gone back in with 2 minutes. They’re not bringing it. We have to score. Defense is great but someone has to hit a layup.

 

[VolBall09]

We’ve lost momentum. Get it baaaaaack!!!!!

Subs were not playing well

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Lady Vols up by 20 going to the 4th Qtr. 62-42.

 

[therealitytheory]

Walker has really picked up her game. On both ends.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Looks more like hurry up ball ... I don't know why they want to?

I don’t know. It’s certainly not because A&M is playing us any different we’re just running and gunning.

 

[Voltopia]

it’s great they’ve played well but it’s frustrating to see so many soft shot attempts to finish out the quarter.

 

[BleedOrange1808]

Great defense to close out the 3rd! Let's finish this!!!

 

[Volfan2012]

Tamari Key has 8 blocks already.

 

[VolBall09]

Does anyone else think Kaiya has a problem hitting layups and holding onto the ball? That face mask has got to be causing her problems.

I agree, i think it’s affecting her peripheral vision for sure. It seems bulkier than some I’ve seen recently.

 

[Vols2015]

Horston has shot a whole lot of shots tonight, many missed bunnies in the paint, gotta get better making those easy shots…

I hope we’ll get far enough ahead in the 4th to give that group of subs a chance to redeem themselves. That was the worst stretch from that group all year.

 

[VolBall09]

Playing sloppy now

Courtesy of the officiating actually. We were getting hammered there the last 3 minutes. We put the bench in and they were fouling the crap out of the freshman and they were rattled at the no calls.

She has very poor form on her shots. She underhanded that last layup attempt instead of getting it above her head and putting off the backboard. She pretty much just throws it at the goal. Lotta physical tools to work with, but really, really raw skill wise.

She is a lot like Rae in that regard. Love her energy though.

Would agree, I do think they uncalled fouls were playing a part in the ugly play there. They had several good looks they just didn’t finish though. Normally those go own. Walker and Horston missed a couple chippies there also

Good .... I hope she makes 14 tonight.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Watching this game makes me gasp for air .... fast pace back & forth ...

Courtney Lyle and my wife used to jazzercize together. Good for her and her gig with ESPN.

 

[VolBall09]

Flop

 

[87&91ALUM]

Love to see Key rebound

 

[87&91ALUM]

Sloppy play there and TAM layup.

 

[87&91ALUM]

66-44

 

[VolBall09]

Cannot get lazy and sloppy. Too much time left.

 

[87&91ALUM]

6:24 left

walker cant make layups.
