[Chippo]

They said she is gonna be up the whole game. Hope we don’t have to suffer and be forced to listen.

Chicken wang…

 

[Volfan1017]

Puckett is so painful to watch. Immediately gives up a bucket.

 

[RAVOL]

Great start just need Coop to stop trying to force things. 10-4

 

[chuckiepoo]

Wow. Color broadcaster is speechless.

 

[VolBall09]

Could not ask for a better start. As I suspected the pressure is not Iowa’s friend lol.

Great focus to start. Have to watch our fouls. We are so much more physical we can’t send them to the line every time.

 

[therealitytheory]

1st line change didn't include Cooper - YES.

Coach reads my VN posts apparently..

 

[VolBall09]

Iowa boxing out really well. We have to be more aggressive on the glass.

 

[ttharp]

The half court offense needs a lot of work.

 

[LadyVol1908]

Jesus this half court defense!

 

[ThatVolGuy]

It almost looks like they’re putting in zero effort to rebound on some of these misses.

 

[volforlife10]

rebounding is poor right now. have to fight for rebounds to win this game.

 

[Chippo]

Tenn just shooting wild.

 

[VolBall09]

Someone has to stick with Stuelke. She cuts well and is very athletic. Letting her move way too freely. Have to bump her around and be physical with her when she cuts. Can’t just let her catch it clean and shoot layups like the last couple possessions or she’ll have 40.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Defensive rebounding is a thing too… get it, girls! 10-10 first media TO

 

[RAVOL]

Now this last few minutes were horrible especially from Cooper. No offensive movement trying to force things. Now settle them down coach let them know there mistakes

We look a little nervous, glued to the floor on rebounds right now. Iowa also doing a lot of subtle holding. Coaches have to be on the officials about it. Whitehorn is getting held by Stuelke on every rebound.

 

[volforlife10]

we also have to be able to run a halfcourt offense. rn we haven’t ran a single good set.

That offensive foul got in her head right away. You could see it in her face. That’s a maturity aspect she has to grow into. Has to have more of a next play mentality. She’s too athletic to force it like that too. Move the ball.

Sigh
