Game Thread: Carson Newman v Lady Vols, Thurs Oct 31; Home-FCC; 6:30PM; SEC+ network....Win Lv's 135-49

[BruisedOrange]

I came here for negativity and it seems to be lacking. What is wrong with you people. Someone on the LV basketball forum always has something negative to say.

I'm now listening to C-N's radio coverage... and they're even positive!

Should I alert Freak to put a nurse on-call for the game thread?

The transfer from Pitt may not score but will be a nuisance on the Defensive end for LVols.

But… I think she has more points in this game than she did all last season.

Several things I'm surprised about. Very surprised Wells isn't playing much. Getting introduced to Whitehorn for sure.

Yeah I was a little surprised by the lack of Wells minutes so far.... it could be the injury and less off season workouts. I also saw her looking a little lost on D a few times so maybe that has also caused her to not catch up to the system as quickly. Regardless I think she'll be ok.

Will UT get to 20 made 3's? Spearman looks really good with the ball, I am impressed. Glad Ace got that 3 to go down!! Let's get to 125.

It hasn't even been a full year since Wells tore her ACL. She will come along.

This LV squad is going to be hell on wheels. Ruby and Coop are legit, Spencer also. The rest are ready and amazing in this system. Gonna be a fun year to watch them play. LV’s are a top 10-12 team imo

Anyone know what the program record is for points in a game?

 

[knoxvol52]

Up by 65 and diving on the floor for loose ball.

Nice. Gotta earn those minutes now for the next game.

 

[Volfan2012]

Carson Newman may have 40 turnovers in this game. Think it is close now.

 

[KnoxLikeUs]

hoping to see more latham moving forward. feel like she wasn’t out there much at all.

This is more about Ruby Whitehorn and Talaysia Cooper fitting this system than Alyssa Latham. Trust me she is good and will be a factor.
May take a few weeks into the season for her to get going but it’ll click.

We have 4 time outs left.

You see the no calling timeouts continues. Finally found something to complain about.

You watching 52 ? Having trouble with my service

 

[Rooster1]

This is hurricane ball and it is fun to watch.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Dang did I just see a high low play run from the set? I was told CKC system didn’t run half court sets.

Yes, my service is good ..

Caldwell does not call time-outs because it gives the other team time to rest. She hates time-outs for that reason.

 

[Rooster1]

This is a new LV team from the past 4 seasons, and it looks really good. My prediction prior was 11-0 before SEC play begins, almost certain now that will be the case.

Guess I'm going have to call ESPN or my provider .

 

[1reVOLver]

This is the first and only game thread I've ever seen that isn't loaded with complaints about the refs, and how they are obviously anti-LV.

What's wrong with you people?!

 

[knoxvol52]

Guess I'm going have to call ESPN or my provider .

Who's your provider?

 

[Rooster1]

@1reVOLver, they look awesome. Alabama, OM and OK won’t be this good….the style of play is the diff

 

[knoxvol52]

Shooters all over the floor, good heavens

 

[RespectAPA]

The only time you could have reasonably called a timeout was in the 5 minute stretch to start the game. After that, any timeout would have just been an advantage to C-N.
