Game Thread : Lady Vols @ Arkansas, Thurs. 7PM; SEC Network win 87-66

[Coach Jumper]

Arkansas is the kind of team we struggle with. They can space the floor and hit a lot of threes. I’m worried about this one and we likely need a win if we want to avoid slipping to the 8 line

I think concentration on the ARK threes is inevitable

 

[Hoosier]

Darby should be the only one shooting 3s. Puckett only if she is wide open. There's no reason for anyone else to shoot out there - just take it to the paint! They have no one to stop Rickea or Horston.

well, IMO, Jackson should never shoot a three and Powell only if the clock is expiring -- I think the others have a pretty good grasp of when to shoot and when not to shoot, but they definitely need to be looking for Tess at all times

Powell hasn't hit a field goal in the last five games, is today the day???

At least nobody has called them the Sows yet.

I thought about using 'Pigs wearing Lipstick'.

Was afraid I would offend some of Hillary's peeps

My msg to JP would be, if you don't shoot, you can't miss.

Certainly have a right to be nervous if you expect a win. I am not nervous done seen us play enough games on the road to wonder how were going to mess this one up. Playing error free and great decision basketball is not something we do on the road. I just go into the game hoping we'll win cause of all the games we could've won if we didn't commit over 20 turnovers and make so many bad decisions with the basketball. It doesn't give you a lot of confidence that this game will be different.

Well, I am trying to keep the faith.......

It is certainly a game we should win no matter where it is played. Sometimes we just don't do the things on the road that are needed to win. Maybe this game will be different.

I’m here, let’s get our first top 25 win today.

 

[Majors]

I’ll say within 5 mins into the game Courtney Lyle will refer to Tess as a “sharp shooter”

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Walker for 3!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Strip with a block, then 2.

 

[th2421]

Knock on wood, but impressive start!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Rickea for 3!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Powell for 3!

 

[sechamp2012]

17 to 7 good start

 

[SATXVolFan82]

The ladies look so relaxed and confident.

 

[RAVOL]

Great start. Ark D is not very good. Patience and we get any shot we want. Need to post Tess side as her defender is not leaving her. In CHRIST Alone

It is a good start plus it raises the question how AR has won 19 games.
