Game Thread: (7/9) Lady Vols 112 - ETSU 58

[PG1]

Kelly looks proud.

I wish Kellie had rested Horston for this game and for Chattanooga. I have noticed a slight limp a couple of times.

Actually, if I were coaching the team I'd have the team doctor put a cast on the foot tomorrow and leave it on until three days before the Arkansas game. She'd be fine to play in that game.

Think we might win this one. Looking good for 100

Bob can't tell Darby from Karoline.

Not use to seeing so many white girls on the court.

 

[Volfan2012]

Karoline get fouled she is great at the line 5 of 6 this season.

Her foot hurts for sure. Really do wish she had rested her entirely tonight. The few minutes she has played haven’t been good for her confidence.

She’s an incredible athlete and player. Hate to see her body holding her back.

Bob can't tell anyone from anyone else. It is his brand ;o)

 

[Vols2015]

I’m so glad our Lady Vols came to play tonight!!

 

[youcancallmeAl]

I'd like us to run an offense, period...

But then you'd complain about something else.

 

[Nute Gunray]

Kellie should continue to use this game and the next one to perfect the team's defense when Key is not on the court.

 

[creekdipper]

Karoline get fouled she is great at the line 5 of 6 this season.

In any late-game situation where we're being fouled, I want Karoline in on offense.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

I have seen enough Darby does not deserve 30 minutes a game to score nothing half of her minutes should go to Kaiya in SEC play if Rae is still not back

RENNIE FOR THREE!!!!!

She ends her long streak wow was starting to think she would never

 

[Lucy]

Message being sent to Striplin and Saunders to transfer.

That’s bologna! Striplin is going to be great for us! 11 games into her freshman year and you come out with that?!?

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Let’s hope we don’t lose Wynn or striplin to the portal because of the coach’s fascination with Darby

Let's hope we don't lose a recruit because they read some of our posters and assume they're representative of our fanbase knowledge of basketball coaching.

Thanks Coach

Karoline get fouled she is great at the line 5 of 6 this season.

She needs some of keyen minutes for this alone

 

[youcancallmeAl]

I do sometimes feel frustration that some players seem to not get enough opportunity to play while others get unlimited minutes without much effective play to show for being out there. Not calling out any particular player as we have a few that are not producing what they need to considering the minutes they are getting. Second you hope to get better every game and in game ten of the season we saw the worst half of basketball by a Tennessee team in quite a long while. I would expect something like that to maybe happen occasionally on the road, but never at home. No team should be able to beat you as badly as we got beat in that first half of basketball at home. Also very surprised that we can't shoot better in the arena where we practice and make free throws on the rims that we shoot so many everyday. Players keep saying in the interviews we make them in practice. The problem with that is the ones that they make in practice don't count in the score of a game. Final gripe of the Stanford game our poorest performance of the season.

The team is a work in progress.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

In any late-game situation where we're being fouled, I want Karoline in on offense.

Wouldn’t be suprised by the time she graduates she has the highest FT% of any Lady Vol though we would have to go through the archives for this stat

Explain then with game in hand she puts Key back in instead of Striplin.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Unless Striplin and Wynn become more complete and competent players, this squad will not become a team to compete for any type of championships...These two ladies have not lived up to the expectations many of us (especially me) had for them...

It's time ladies.

C'mon, GT. They're freshmen in the first half of their first season.

 

[lvocd]

ETSU's coach is going to be a big success by year 3.

 

[Lucy]

Explain then with game in hand she puts Key back in instead of Striplin.

She could have a set she wants to run. She may want to go over something with Striplin. The possibilities are endless. What is not rational is that she is trying to run off a great freshman like Striplin.
You know pessimism is for cowards. Optimists have courage.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Explain then with game in hand she puts Key back in instead of Striplin.

Because she starts ALL of her starters at the beginning of the second half - each and every game.
