Game Thread Lady Vols at Notre Dame

Look at Ariel on that last possession. We might as well just put 4 players out there. She just stood the entire time. Never helped or even thought about rebounding.

on defense. Her effort has been a little better this year, but she needs to work harder. And Carter has got to do a better job on Lloyd.

It's refreshingly nice to see UT neck and neck with a good team on the road, rather than digging a hole and then playing possessed to rally back. Like, super refreshingly nice. Still some poor choices on defense but 37-40 at the half isn't *terrible*. It's not what anyone would want, but it isn't terrible. If UT can just keep their offensive motor in gear and play their game then it'll be a race to the finish. That's a pretty good deal, all things considered. Hope they can take this one and finally notch a big road W.
 
But, with 3.5 seconds left that is what they should have done. Man to man I mean.

Loyd passed Reynolds for that rebound. Whatever defense was called, the players need to play until the buzzer.

That buzzer beater wasn't a poorly called defense, it was 100% Reynolds taking the play off.

It was a zone. They needed be in man.

Doesn't change the fact that Loyd got that rebound because Reynolds stopped playing when Allen launched the shot. If she had boxed out Loyd (and she was right there before Jewell sprinted past her), then there would have not been a 2nd shot.

No, I went back and looked at it. Graves didn't block out. It was the wrong D. We were defending the inbound and Notre Dame threw over. Carter let her man put up the shot. There was no way Reynolds could have caught Lloyd. Graves missed the block out. We just got out schemed.
 
Ariel watches her girl rebound again. I can't stand it! She nevers plays hard and gets to play. I will be happy graduation day 2015.
