Game Thread Lady Vols at Arkansas

Pretty ugly, huh. Win is a win especially on the road. That team I say against A&M, the clock must have hit midnight and you know what happened in Cinderella ...

Look at the Vandy win hit 60 % for game and only 1-3 three point shots. They had lost their previous two games both not scoring 50 points. Was it an ugly MS State loss or a one of a kind Vandy win? you boarders are the experts - you tell me

Well.....the game was played in Vandy's 'gym'.
 
Energy was the problem today for the first thirty minutes. We were getting beat to lose balls, getting beat on the boards, and making some unforced turnovers. I don't blame any of this on Holly she was working them hard from the sideline and they were not responding. When Massengale got hot in the last 10 minutes and Holly went to the zone it was the difference in the game. Holly seems to be working hard to make this a good team. She has them moving the ball better but energy is something the players have to bring. On the road they have not been able to do it for a forty minute game.

Struggling to hit 60 against a very poor team. It reminds me of the offense CViv usually runs at Rutgers. The team needs to hire an assistant coach who can teach offense.

How is 25% shooting Holly's fault? The team was getting reasonable shots, they just couldn't throw it in the ocean. And I don't think getting our ***es handed to us on the boards was Holly's fault either. Or throwing the ball away. The team just didn't bring it until the last 10 minutes of the game.

Not to mention that they scored 42 points and shot 52% from the floor in the 2nd half. It's not like the entire game was poor offense.

OK, Frozen, if you keep on being so darn sensible the only alternative will be to ban you from this board.

Holly is responsible for the effort the team plays with. That is why Tn pays her.
 
Smart move by holly to switch to the zone. It might have kept them from having their first sec loss. I'm happy we came out with a win and I too don't blame holly for the piss poor shooting tonight. The whole team just lacked focus and energy. Maybe most of them are battling cold or flu symptoms??

I don't blame Holly for poor shooting but she does not seem to call timeouts when the competition goes on a run. I do believe that it is a coach's job to keep his/her team focused. If not who should? These are young athletics who constantly need focus adjustments.
 
I don't mind the poor shooting as long as we're getting good looks. I do hate the turnovers. We only ended up with 11 for the game but we had 3 or 4 quick ones out the gate. I thought we gave them a lot of easy looks early on, too. As I've said, our C game is pretty lousy. Need to bring A and B game more often and C rarely if never.
 
I'll take 10 wins in a row anytime. Including 4 raked teams. Not every game will look good, it's about did you figure out a way to win
