Oh no!! Prayers for speedy recovery! Selfishly we needed her this year on the inside.

....isn't that kind of ... random?

If they could/would hit layups, they can be contenders in the SEC.

I hate those three letters. Hopefully a full recovery and return next season.

Team wise, it's a big loss as well. KK and Key just don't seem to have it.

She looks like Bonnie Raitt in that photo.

A lot to expect from her. But I'm sure she can give some serviceable minutes.

Can Davis, Burrell and Horston play 35-38 minutes every game?

I wish I had this much confidence in my team....but I think the Lady Vols are gonna lose and would like it if we dont get blown out the gym

Ha!

If no foul trouble, why not ?

 

[VolFuture2k22]

Just remember it took Indianas worst shooting game of the year and a dozen missed wide open layups and we still only won by 6 :/


yes this is a joke about “Rennias worst game of her career and in OT to WVU” people. A win is a win go LVs!!!

 

[chuckiepoo]

Ha!

Keep WBK on their toes!

 

[Coach Jumper]

Indiana likes to come out the gate scoring quickly,,,Berger, Holmes, and Patberg are their 3-headed monster, they combined for 48 or Indiana's 68 points. With 42 of their 68 points in the paint...look for UT to go big early and stop the IU inside scoring attack... I predict the starters to be Davis, Burrell, Horston, Key and Green....Look for Key/Green to score 30 between them,,,Jordan will shut down Berger and Rennia will reemerge with 20 points,,,,Burrell will continue to play solid and populate the entire statline


If the starters I want to start, do start,,look for them to come out of the gate like a top ten team and make a statement to the org that it's time to let loose the veterans....The reason I think Key and Green willl have big games, is they have been questioned recently and UI scores in the paint,, that said, this will be an opportunity to really stand out.

We're fixing to see the Lady Vols we have missed for a while folks!

Coach Jumper's prediction: UT 84 UI 68

Ok so I was a little overzealous with the score,,,still a convincing win
Davis, Burrell and Horston...hit that one....look for it to continue!
Didn't get to see the game,,,would like to know exactly when the LV's went into a funk

O and by the way,,,Emily ain't done!

@Coach Jumper Kellie also just used a timeout to stop momentum...

She is really sending a message to Key and KK Emily is really getting minutes....

She's listening
Emily's not done improving yet

Davis, Burrell, Horston and good defense won this game. Of course, the other players made their contribution. Kellie deserves a shout out also. She learned from the WVU game.

The veterans!

Davis 19 and 15 rebounds, Burrell 18 and 2 rebounds. Davis played 38 minutes today.

I think Horston should remain in the Starting line. I truly wanting on her to have a break out game.

Shhhh...."Nut" will hear you

Davis 38 minutes - incredible return to form
Burrell 36 minutes - great game
Hoston 35 minutes - filled the stat sheet, great game
Suarez 34 minutes - lots of potential, looked gassed at times

Key only 18 minutes due to foul trouble but led the team in +/-. Her stat line basically sucks. But we were +16 when she was in. +16!

Rennia is back...toldja!

...but Emily may rise to the challenge.

Don't blink...Emily is preparing for more minutes

Am I the only one concerned by how many wide open 3s we gave them? I cringed every time we were in a zone.

Yes. That was strategic. Indiana is not a good 3 point shooting team. They were only shooting ~29% from 3 coming into this game and they shot 7% on 27 attempts today. The zone and letting them fire away from deep paid off. Sometimes you get burned, but when a team shoots a low percentage you have to make them prove they can hit them first. Indiana never got hot, unfortunately for them.

That's a ton of minutes. Need to work the bench into at least 9 deep in most games. Eight deep got us the win tonight against a tough opponent.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

we need a new post coach.

 

[madtownvol]

She really does!

 

[mike099]

Really rooting for Saunders to earn more playing time.

 

[sisaq]

Anybody saw Horston shot block at last minute?

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

sent IT FLYING!!!

really nasty block

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Glad she is playing some more disappointed it is because of an ACL tear on our team...

Better question where was Mccoy? @gule she is your top post any insight?

 

[creekdipper]

Really hate the bad news for both Keyen and the team.

What's the story on Salary and McCoy? I'm assuming Tess is still recuperating and being brought along slowly.

 

[VolBall09]

Kinda agree.

I will say, I don’t think the posts we have match the system Kellie runs. I think Striplin is much more the kind of “5” player she’s after. Long and versatile on offense but physical defensively. Kk and Tamari are both much bigger than most she would recruit I’m guessing. Seems like she’s targeting the more mobile 6’2”-6’4” interior players that can stretch the defense and get up and down.
