Game Thread Lady Vols at Kentucky

[vol-un-tear]

Bench 11!

Russell is a problem with this team. We all thought she'd be really good, and she simply isn't. She isn't strong enough on the offensive side to assert herself as she should, with her size, and she isn't a defensive force inside, either--doesn't keep an eye on the ball and seems afraid to challenge.

Yep. She is weak.

and

Slow

Deshields thinks she has to shoot every time she touches the ball

She plays well for other coaches, so what does tell us?

 

[mlindsay]

Where are the foul calls

 

[Voluble2]

That drive by Cooper was just ugly.

 

[Spacejam]

Ugh! every third quarter is the same. always.

 

[DoubleA]

Most of the time, Russell ain't even at the basket! She comes out too much and needs to stay right there at the basket at all times, on both sides of the floor!

She is playing where she has been told to.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Layups are killing this team.

 

[vol-un-tear]

Ugh! every third quarter is the same.

Holly likes a good train wreck

 

[Voluble2]

Both our players took the roll to the basket and left the three pt shooter open. That is a trademark of our defense.

 

[orange plasma]

Coach bewildered and frustrated.

 

[armchair]

We should have switched our defense. Falling apart in the third quarter--as usual.

 

[Sandvol]

These are BS uniforms. Where's the Lady Vols?

 

[NEVolFan]

Wow... have not seen this team play too much this year. Not a lot of skill players out there. I thought someone mentioned numerous McDonalds AAs on the team... are they going to get to play this year?

 

[kell7517]

Russel is 2 boards from a double double. No one else on our team is even close.

 

[tnvols72]

Holly is the cause of this train wreck

fyp

 

[Spacejam]

It's like they always have an epic collapse in the second half and when they finally start showing some life it's usually a little too late. it's so sad to watch.

 

[kell7517]

Didn't win the third. Uh oh.

 

[DoubleA]

Halftime adjustments were made, just not by our coach.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Great 3rd Quarter. Nice to see that Holly has not lost her magic.

 

[Volfan2012]

Minus 12 in the third quarter because two guards no more than 5'5" tall scored nine layups.

This is Holly basketball.

 

[Volstylexx]

Out scored 21-9 in the third quarter.

 

[I81Exit146]

here we go again... Holly has her jacket off... Easier to throw her arms up...

 

[armchair]

We have two front-line players in Graves and Russell who just don't have the impact on games that we need from them, and our decision-making in general is bad.
