Game Thread Lady Vols at North Carolina

[Voluble2]

This NC team doesn't look good either. Let's see who settles down first.

good thing NC can't get a basket to fall

 

[Voluble2]

I can't even tell what the fouls are for on the perimeter.

 

[Voluble2]

Russell vacated too soon on that shot.

 

[Voluble2]

Nice that Ariel is getting her touch back.

 

[TNRitz]

Ariel is looking really good tonight thus far!

 

[governmentmule]

the 3 pt shots are there now if they can just make some, of course massenagle has hit 2

 

[Voluble2]

Now that call on Simmons right there was ridiculous. The girl went into her and there was no where to put her hands.

No one knows WTH to do with themselves.

 

[governmentmule]

a lot of ticky tack fouls being called

 

[Voluble2]

The UConn game was not called like this.

 

[governmentmule]

i do like Carters play,that girl has some hustle

 

[Voluble2]

Carter is deceptively quick.

 

[Voluble2]

Russell needs to get tougher around the basket.

 

[armchair]

Officials calling too many calls. The 2nd foul on Harrison was absurd. Our defense is good. Massengale, and maybe Carter, need to settle the team when we get into those stretches when Simmons and everybody else is missing shots. We can't afford to have these 5 minute stretches where we miss every shot.

 

[governmentmule]

nice play there

 

[Voluble2]

That's it... get on the ground for it... better hustle

 

[governmentmule]

there has been some poor passing by the Vois

 

[SGMVols]

Way too many turnovers and fouls, but UNC can't buy a basket. Clean up the passing and this is an easy win.

 

[Voluble2]

Armchair, I think having our posts so far away from the basket makes it harder to settle down and exposes them to drawing the ticky tack fouls. We need to change that offense a bit and it will help with the dry spells.

Also need to drive more now that the other team is not allowed to play close defense. They can bail you out with the foul call much easier now. We stood around too much during the dry spell.

 

[Voluble2]

Right there we just dribbled till they called a foul on the other team. Good offense under these rules.

 

[governmentmule]

that was a foul ? damn

 

[Voluble2]

See, they didn't call the hack... but by God they will get the touch fouls.

 

[Voluble2]

Why can't Jones dribble? She had all summer to get better.

 

[governmentmule]

See, they didn't call the hack... but by God they will get the touch fouls.

i hate them touch fouls,there is no need for it

 

[TNRitz]

Jones may be a superb athlete, but not certain on her basketball skills!
