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

[LadyVols_WBK]

Emily has a nice midrange shot

 

[Voluble2]

Emily was really confident with that shot. Good to see.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Nice shot by Emily!

Love that Kaiya will take it hard to the rack! Broken nose and all. Starting to finish those wild shots.

She’s about to get a lot more playing time. Think she would have the last couple games if not for the injury setback.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Kaiya is flying

 

[VolBall09]

I love me some Sara Puckett. Goodness gracious!

She’s a stud, such a weird word to use, but thats just how she plays.

 

[Rickster]

Some nice flashes by several players.

 

[Voluble2]

Karoline is going to hit more free throws tonight than our whole team does some nights.

 

[Rickster]

Karo is a very good FT shooter

This second-tier group isn't perfect, but they are gaining chemistry with every minute that passes. Granted, this is ETSU and not Stanford, but I'm still encouraged by this showing. ETSU has no size, but they have a respectable amount of quickness, so they're a good team for our kids to compete against.

 

[VolBall09]

In a game like this Puckett needs to take 20 shots. Really think she could be more assertive. She’s 5-7 and 2-3 from 3. Shoot that thang!

Wynn is going to have to work on her focus as she drives the lane. She seems to lose it right before the shot goes up.

Wynn is going to have to work on her focus as she drives the lane. She seems to lose it right before the shot goes up.

It isn't focus, it is form. She really needs to work on her shot.

She looks like one of those players who can get by with her athleticism and never had to refine her shot. Rae was like that and then she put in the work. Wynn has the perfect role model to emulate on the team.

 

[lvocd]

Anyone else worried about why ETSU only had 8 players available tonight? I'll admit I'm paranoid, but ...

 

[Voluble2]

Love how happy they all are for each other.

 

[Volinnooga]

Score?

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Nice under the basket move by Emily.

 

[Voluble2]

Score?

110-58 us

 

[Rickster]

EMILY

 

[VolBall09]

Score?

112-58 we had a bit of a poor sportsman basket. Could have dribbled it out. Kellie apologized right away, the freshmen were excited

 

[sisaq]

When Emily scored her first basketball I almost dropped tears. She's a sweet lady. Great game.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

They were just having fun out there at the end of the 4th even Coach Kellie was laughing after Emily’s dribble to the basket

 

[VolBall09]

Kaiya with the double double 12 points, 10 boards and 5 assists. 0 turnovers and she ran the point most of the second half.

 

[Chippo]

Real happy for Emily tonight.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Free Emily!
