Game Thread: (7/9) Lady Vols 63 - (3/3) Stanford 74

[ttharp]

Puckett, our freshman, is the only one that came to play today. At least early on.

 

[therealitytheory]

Layup city. Awful..

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

Tennessee needs to settle down.. plus can’t match up with the speed of Stanford on transition..

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Stanford is scoring at will now .... they're taking us to the woodshed on layups.

 

[Hoosier]

you can't beat Stanford if you have no one who can put the ball in the basket -- that's all there is to it

 

[chuckiepoo]

Debbie Antonelli just said watch out for Westbrook for #1 pick in the draft. Killl meeee

What is she smoking? Send me some Deb

She must know Willie.

 

[zaqhhh]

Never passed the eye test this year and against an elite team that is evident.

Granted I am impressed by starting 9-0 but we will be out in the S16 without significant improvement.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Time out Tennessee. 16-28. Getting out of hand. They are making threes and lay-ups and we are not. Cmon Ladies!

 

[casetopia]

we have guards that can't make layups.

 

[NoBackBoard]

We are disorganized defensively, slow and Key getting 2 fouls hurts us more than they are hurting by Brink’s 2 fouls. Now they’re just driving to the basket.

 

[volnationnj]

Down 30-18. Must cut the lead before halftime. Can't lose contact. And we're close to that now. Not rebounding like they usually do.

 

[VolBall09]

Not applying any pressure to the ball handler. Letting them drive directly up the middle of the floor and do whatever they want. Kellie is hot right now.

Zero effort at the moment. First time I’ve seen that this season, but they’re on their heels. Looking nervous and frozen in place on defense. We need to be picking up the ball before half court. We aren’t picking it up until it falls through the Net right now.

Team is too reliant on having Tamari to scare people away from the basket. With her out our defense falls apart.

 

[RAVOL]

One thing is for sure Stanford with their whole Roster is more skilled offensively than us. No Key in Middle.

 

[th2421]

We have 0 offensive rebounds. Pretty shocking. And that’s a huge part of our offense.

Part of that is Key’s 2 fouls but Stanford is doing an absolutely incredible job boxing us out.

 

[And1]

It’s not looking good today. Don’t think we can score enough to dig ourselves out of a double digits hole.

 

[Vol67]

UT not ready for prime time, nor top 10 teams

 

[TN1111]

Too easy for Stanford… on offense and defense. This game Is magnifying our lack of a Half court offense. One-on-one ball won get it done against good teams.

 

[ttharp]

Like, this is how we play with the biggest crowd of the season on hand. I’m shocked.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

We need to attack the basket and create some contact. The officials want to blow the whistle but we aren’t giving them any reason to.

Must be a new group of refs they hired for their first game to call.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Down 12 now ....Stanford with a 11-2 run here.

 

[TN1111]

Wow…a team that runs back cuts for easy baskets

 

[87&91ALUM]

What?

 

[casetopia]

hard to watch

 

[therealitytheory]

Stanford more aggressive on both ends.

 

[Voluble2]

Not sure why the women put up with this sort of officiating.

It just ruins the game and makes the results meaningless.
