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

[therealitytheory]

Whitehorn deserves a ton of credit for keeping us in the game early while Coop sat out with fouls.

 

[VolBall09]

the high lights fromthe bid ten (eighteen) network is all Iowa until the last tie--- and then the final seconds with the LV up by 10 .

Whoever was making the highlight thought Iowa was going to win too

Yes! Whitehorn kept us competitive during the long period in which everything seemed to be going Iowa's way. What a game by Ruby!

I think you mentioned earlier we were gonna lose too? Glad your premonition was wrong.

 

[KTrain]

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.

You have 10 players with 15+ minutes, playing time and you didn't see much subbing... I've watched Bball for years and you just don't see 10 players getting 15+ in a nick and tuck game. JMO

Good stuff, thx for doing the work. I’ve been slack entering the pool. Fun!

 

[Dak1219]

Yeah, when the score just went to 28-10 I turned the channel. It's over.

Louisville just went on a little run, but this one could get ugly quick.

 

[RebKell]

Here's a breakdown of tonights Iowa

 

[HerdLVol]

What I need to see is some of that "toughness" defending her team when the zebras start lopsiding calls

I thought maybe it was a knee jerk reaction to our style of defense. I thought the refs settled down a little as the game went on.

 

[VolBall09]

Yes I am notorious for that lol. It’s part of my schtick. I actually feel like it puts some reverse psychology into play if I say that.

I am literally INSANE during the live games. Truly out of my mind usually lol.

 

[Dak1219]

Reverse psychology.....

LOL

It’s what comes with fandom. Riding the highs and lows!

It was in the first half. We were all complaining about the bad three pointers in the first quarter.

To Paraphrase she basically said “yall are jacking up a bad shot every time you have a little space and you won’t go rebound for each other when you miss them.”

I liked when she said you are playing like it's open gym

I liked that as well.

I thought maybe it was a knee jerk reaction to our style of defense. I thought the refs settled down a little as the game went on.

and it will continue to be a knee-jerk reaction until she forces it to be a conscience one...Not once did I see her approach a ref after a questionable call...the camera would have caught it or the announcers would have verbalized it.

As a coach your players will ultimately shut down if you don't defend them. Cooper showed frustration with being called for ticky-tack fouls last game,

It WILL happen..Coach Kim has to do her part

ANd no, to those of you new to here,,,I am not a negavol
I absolutely am 100% behind coach Kim and staff,,,but, I am a coach and that is what I post as. And if I see a weakness I will call it

 

[Rooster1]

I don’t want to jinx the LV team, but it seems apparent they will likely enter SEC play 12-0 facing aTm, which again likely looks like a 13-0 start, good stuff.

 

[RAVOL]

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.

4 i believe. Liberty is favored in there league with Mtsu Fl St and Iowa tonight.

 

[Lucy]

YES, YES, YES! I’ve honestly started to expect Sara to miss, but Tess should be knocking those down, that’s literally your job!

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!

You know we have just flat out had some beautiful young women be LVs. I love it when the current LVs get to hang out with LVFLs!!

 

[RebKell]

Maybe we'll have a Conference only version.

I don't know how many times Coach Caldwell questioned the refs. I saw at least one on tv and seem to recall at least one more. And, I'm not sure I agree with your comment that the announcers would have noted it. They were too busy having an Iowa/Olsen love-fest most of the game!

[Vunhopper]

Caldwell has a really low buyout. That's all I have to say about that. I'd hate to see a team pay her what's she's worth because she may be on the next Greyhound out of town. Cheapskate Vols may not be able to afford a coach like her. They still owe Harper money, so they probably can't afford Kim.

agree that was quite sickening

But I don't recall her calling anyone over and giving them the "what for" they were deserving

Hope Iowa can finish top 3 in the big 10. We need that to be a quality win for our resume.
