Puckett can’t guard anyone.

11-0 KY run. At least Jackson is going to be well rested.

 

[UTtoDC]

Puckett can’t guard anyone.

This is true. Opposing offenses know this and when she comes in the game her player gets the green light to go to work. So obvious in this game.

Stupid subs there. Sorry but no reason to go that deep this early in the game. I don’t care how much we are up.

Eh, I don't hate it. This Kentucky team just doesn't have it, and I think it's important to get Pissott some more minutes and also hope you can play Sara out of her slump. And of course Hollingshead has been improving, and Powell has been playing much better as of late.

 

[glv98]

Hmmm. Ya'll think the subbing was a problem?

We cannot have nice things.

 

[VolBall09]

Last 3 minutes of chaos were a direct result of all those bad substitutions and Kellie standing there doing the Holly shrug like she can’t figure it out.

WE ARENT THAT DEEP. And for God sakes you’re supposed to beat teams!!! Every time you get up 10 points it doesn’t mean you need to start the bus and send in the bench. Beat a team like you mean it and then let them have fun the last 2:30 minutes.

25-15 after 1. Not sure why we called off the full court press. Went from up 17-2 to 25-15.

conversely, you've given them life and gotten a packed arena back into the game. A loss to a 2-13 SEC team would be devastating to post-season seeding.

 

[RAVOL]

It was a good time to play bench. Now they didn't handle things well. So starters back for 2nd.

 

[LV renaissance]

My biggest in game gripe I have with KJH is that she always makes massive lineup changes right when we are in a beautiful flow.

 

[ttharp]

When Sara came in and threw that lousy inbound pass, she should’ve gone to the bench. That kick started UK’s run.

I’m only speaking of her as a basketball player.she is slow and she has no athletic ability

 

[UTtoDC]

Agree. This was a lazy play that shifted momentum.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Tess for 3!

 

[Volstylexx]

I don't like that 5 seed NCAA projection. We advance deeper in March as a 6/7 seed imo (avoiding the 1 seeds until an elite 8).

This! We go up 10, and it's like, "SEND IN THE WALK-ON's JON!!"

 

[LUVMESUMVOL]

That was a perfect example of how slow we really are.Both Tess and Striplin were right with that guard and she blew past both of them

 

[VolBall09]

Ah yes, even further in the bench. We are determined to make this a game.

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

Looks as if we are a little lazy today on defensive rebounding.. truly hope they work in their weaknesses before tourney time .. they have the talent , if they put it all together, to go deep !

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Striplin can shoot from anywhere!

 

[volnationnj]

What kind of a pass was that. It flew over the backboard !

 

[travis929]

If Striplin and Jackson can keep hitting those midrange shots against the zone, we're a much better team!

 

[Orange_Mamba]

How do you have a great defensive game against SC but turn around and give this type effort for a struggling UK team?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Same thing I said week, a 6/7 seed would be best. That’s maybe unless we can win the sec tournament and get a 3 seed.

A really poor one. Must get better pg play.
