Game Thread: Lady Vols 52 - USF 49

[Bigkat]

I’ll give our girls credit they don’t give up! But dang find some offense before Sunday

 

[VolBall09]

And yet this was the claim to fame when Francis was our head coach along with what got her fired.

Problem was, she didn’t have a winning defense. So far, Kellie does.

For once the refs came thru for us .The blocking foul and counting the bucket by Horston was a bad call that was good for us.Turning point in the win.

0-13 from 3

Good comeback win lady vols!

 

[Peas29]

You're not watching the game? Drive-by post?

I am I stopped driving for the day so I could. If you don’t agree that’s fine but just keep it at that

 

[LadyinOrange]

Did anyone win this game? Did anyone lose this game? What is winning and losing, really?

Whatever the scoreboard says at the end of the game.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

I will give them credit where due. They find a way to win. If they can just get RB back I think we would see a different team.

Jordan MF Horston. She has the heart of a champion.

Tamari Key defensively… yes ma’am.

 

[Nute Gunray]

This was one of Coach Kellie's best coaching performance.

it was definitely a block, she was moving. Now should the basket have counted? idk

Texas is averaging 96 so far this season, that will test us because our O will have to score some to stay in it

Also what was free throws something like 7/ 8 for 20 ?

 

[37620VOL]

The shooting is to the point where I'd bring in a sports psychologist and I'd spend a whole day of practice just working on shooting - fundamentals and situational.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Poorly coached team. No adjustments. Unable to take advantage of numerous mismatches.

You alwys look bad when you shoot poorly, and always look good when you shoot well. All we have to do is make a reasonable % of those inside bunnies and we win easily.

 

[Bigkat]

Still need ppl to step up. Horston can’t do it every night

 

[Volfan2012]

We know what the problems are three point shooting and free throw shooting both are as bad right now as any team could be.

I recall the defense under Francis was subpar not bad but not great. I do think Kellie has them playing with more intensity versus Francis lazy prima Donna teams. Either way the point is the offense stinks under Kellie just as much and if not worse than it did with Francis. Yes they actually run plays now but it’s terrible period still!

 

[AntiochVol81]

Yes, two starting guards with 0 points and 0 assists.

That’s Horrible lol gotta fix it..I would make them shoot threes until there arm falls off..

Yes but when it is game after game after game, that is a coaching issue.

"What has not she done tonight..."

Didn't hit a 3, didn't shoot well at all in the first half.

Not dissing JH, we certainly wouldn't have won without her. But we really, really need JH and Key to develop some consistency.

I'd trade Keys numerous blocks any day for made layups, better hands holding on to rebounds, and made free throws.

Better a win than the alternative.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Key has not improved one bit from last year.

She played very well tonight.

 

[lvocd]

True confession: I had to turn off the game shortly after halftime because I couldn't bear to watch, swearing only to come back here for the next few days IF I saw on the ESPN scoreboard after 8:30 that they'd pulled out the win.

Should I go back and watch it, or will I be hairless by the end? lol

I don't know how it happened, but TENNESSEE WON and I'm happy! So. So. So. Soooooooooo HAPPY for the team!

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

0-13 from 3

those numbers are no bueno!

However 3-0 looks pretty darn good and a ranked win.

I'll take it

Well she shot the ball after the foul was called and she had come to a complete stop....they would not have called that even with the continuation rule in NBA.Glad they called it that way .....difference in winning the. game
