Game Thread: Iowa v Lady Vols, Sat Dec 7th ; Shark Beauty Women's Champions Classic; 7PM; FOX network TV; WIN 78-68

[mudcat1973]

Iowa intentionally moving slow taking the ball out. That should be called a delay of game. They have done it on every score. Taking 5 seconds to slow trot over to inbound the ball. 5 count should start without them.

Always thought they should start the shot clock at 35 when the basketball goes threw the net.
Starting the play clock on the inbound pass.
Still use 30 second shot clock on defensive rebound. 35 second shot clock made baskets.

The Lady Vol fan PTSD is real.

Oh it’s so bad.

I am not a passionate person. The ONLY thing I am passionate about is Lady Vol basketball. Been obsessed since I was 8 years old.

I live and die every possession for the Lady Vols. It’s damaging to me lmao.

The last decade has truly been rough. I’m so traumatized.

 

[Volfan2012]

As far as subbing goes didn't see that much tonight bet Spencer is close to 30 and Cooper would've been there if she hadn't got the early fouls.

 

[Rickster]

We shot 39 percent from the field and 24 percent from the three. Just got to figure out a way to get those percentages up with better looks and the right shooters. Were winning but it is neck and neck with a good team.

Winning will build confidence and that, IMO, will have a huge impact on shooting.

Rickea AND Diamond!

Chamiqua in the house as well

I'm growing out of it. Just need this team to understand good and bad shots. Right now to many bad possessions and ill advised shots. Although I thought our second half shot selection was far better.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

3-6, she’s doing fine

Have you been watching her this entire season? Or the middle and end of last season? Her shot has been off.

LVFLs in the building baby!

Went with our better players in the fourth especially. A couple of our subs are too much of a liability defensively.

 

[SGMVols]

We will be heavily favored in the next 5 games before SEC play starts. Going into SEC play 12-0 with 3 wins over likely tournament teams will be a heck of an accomplishment in year 1, even if it was a little bit softer of a schedule than normal.

I’m taking Carolyn Peck words for it, “ Lady Vols back!”

Yes, particularly with so many new players and a new coach. It’s a new era on Rocky Top without a doubt.

Wow, GBO!
Goodnight folks

34.2% is up 2% from last year, she’s doing fine.

Just 2 bad games too, she’s adjusted pretty well I think.

Now Puckett…struggling

Spencer 29 minutes Cooper 21 and had to sit out most of the first half. Tess played 22 minutes I think that is a high for her this season.

 

[jsc1973]

Kim said this year would not be pretty. Looking pretty good to me. Imagine what this team will look like with 2-3 years of recruiting.

I thought it was beautiful. Opposing coach in the fourth quarter says they're going down, and then the Lady Vols hit them in the mouth and take them down.

Halfcourt defense is getting better every game, held Stuelke to one made field goal, and I liked how Cooper took it on herself to be the closer down the stretch.

 

[UT Challenger]

Have to Spear going in this system. She needs to be our other 3 point threat.

 

[VolBall09]

I feel like it would do Tess some good to just run base line to baseline on offense. I just feel like her chances of making a three are higher in the corners. Because when she’s on the right side she misses left and when she’s on the left she misses long.

#1 and #0 are the ones who need to get it together. Tess playing her role just fine.

Both of those were supposed to be our captains, leaders and big contributors and they have been nonexistent.

 

[AntiochVol81]

Rickea there also..

I know

As a fan base we’ve taken blow after blow since 2012. I feel like we’re due for many big breakthroughs. Things are already getting better, but it’s hard not to expect the worst even though CKCs done a stellar job since the day she stepped on campus.

They need to run plays for Tess, Jewell, and a couple others that have decent percentages. Get away from players just jacking one up some need to stay away from shooting them.

 

[Dak1219]

I was there too but missed the subway lol lol j/k!

But seriously, love the alumni showing up and supporting the new era. Something special is brewing on Rocky Top.
Love to see it. GBO!

Is that Diamond next to Rickea trying to be incognito with the Hat and Glasses?

 

[Volfan2012]

What you can see is we have strong coaching. Very demanding coaching just what you need. She has instilled effort and toughness in this group and they work the entire game. The way they finished the last two games when they were on the line is something we haven't seen from Tennessee in a while.
