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

[UTtoDC]

Amazing 26 assists, 9 turnovers, and 30 steals for the LVs!

Only 9 turnovers is wild, actually! You'd be hard-pressed to find a recent LV game with only 9 TOs... has been such a consistent issue for the past decade or so.

 

[I4Vols]

Ok need at least one complaint in the thread wouldn't be right not to have one. So what is wrong with this team giving up 49 where is the defense?

Did they have to put this game on Halloween???

There you are..

 

[Rooster1]

Kaniya Boyd led the team in minutes tonight!

Isn’t that surprising, she is CKC’s pet project whom she is grooming no doubt.

 

[RespectAPA]

19 made 3 pointers beats the record of 16 set in 2011 against Kentucky. (do exhibitions count, btw?)

 

[Volfan2012]

Boyd is impressive looks like she and Spencer are the point guards. Whitehorn seems capable of replacing a lot of the points were missing from Jackson. Spearman, Latham, Cooper, Spear all can score so impressive performance tonight. We play Carson Newman every year and this was the biggest win against them of all the games I remember.

Boyd is a perfect mold for this system. Very good defensively and athletic.

So much potential with this team and very much looking forward to watching this team gel by SEC play. Been awhile since the SEC will have 7 or 8 legit top 25 teams, going to be a fun season to watch unfold. I'd be surprised if UT didn't finish in the top 5 in the SEC with a clear top 3 in SC, LSU, and Texas.

Especially now with Wynn out.

LSU is not a clear Top 3 team. I need to see more of Texas. I’ve seen Oklahoma and LSU neither is more talented than Tennessee.

 

[Volfan2012]

The SEC is really a powerhouse this year. SC, Ky, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma just not many games where you get a breather. Expect Vandy will be better and possibly Florida. SEC road is going to be rough this season. Glad were not really playing anybody much in the preseason as SEC looks like enough for any team to maneuver through.

End Game Stats:

 

[BruisedOrange]

According to our radio coverage, despite the constant substitutions, each player tended to score most of her points in a certain segment of time. Hmmmm...

 

[Sportslady]

Trying hard not to be disrespectful but I’ve seen more juice in an exhibition than I’ve seen in several years.

I’m already excited about recruiting when prospects see this style of play!!!!!

Whitehorn replaced Rickea's points on their high school team, so this is nothing new for her.

 

[RAVOL]

Very Impressed for this reason. It does take time to learn this system and style and learning to play together but yet they meshed really well and we're connected and it will get better. Yes it was CN but I have watched this program each year against this level and this reminded me of Pats days when we overwhelmed CN. Long way to go and much to learn but very excited. The one thing to look at in future games when outside shot is not falling how does effort continue as it's easy to hang your head. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Ladyvol777]

Nice win for the Lady Vol’s. The run and gun really worked tonight. I believe we will have a great season. As always go Lady Vol’s.

 

[Volfan2012]

94 shots has to be close to some kind of record. If you can get that many and make 35 plus 7 threes and eight free throws your at 85 points shooting 37 percent from the field. Don't expect that many but expect 80 is going to be a number that they will try to achieve every game.

 

[Rooster1]

Damn, what a show of basketball

 

[Coach Jumper]

full TN box score
30! Steals !!!

 

[Dak1219]

LSU is not a clear Top 3 team. I need to see more of Texas. I’ve seen Oklahoma and LSU neither is more talented than Tennessee.

LSU is playing with all their players out of position right now due to injuries. Poa hasn't been with the team and Mircle Sheppard and Day Wilson are injured. They played with 8 the other night and Gilbert played the point and she is not their point guard. Also played Morrow and Wolfenburger on the wings. You haven't gotten a very good look at what they actually have if you are saying they are not a clear top 3 team.

 

[Mafiaboss]

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

Yes, I know. I posted that for the people here who don’t like that she doesn’t call time outs.

[LVsinceJV]

Hopefully not too off topic, but since Kim's run and gun style had some Arkansas comparisons/concerns, here's the box score for Arky's exhibition against Northeastern State, which they won 88 to 54

 

[BruisedOrange]

Radio interview with CKC:

- early, we were playing too fast for ourselves, but we adjusted to the speed
- need to clean up our shot selection
- thought the team did a good job of not reverting to old habits
- need to improve on boxouts

 

[Mafiaboss]

Just listened to Coach post-game radio. All business. Wasn’t particularly happy with anything we did.
