Game Thread Lady Vols at Notre Dame

[ShortyMac10]

Cooper is a flat out liability !

Give her time next yr she should be trouble for ND

 

[Hoya Saxa]

Get Cooper out of the game. Not ready for prime time.

Isn't Diamond the one who determines how many minutes Cooper plays?

 

[Voltopia]

They're playing pretty hard. Gotta give 'em some credit for that.

 

[Vols4life]

Did we forget that on the 5th foul.....that it sends the other team to the line...geez

 

[volnationnj]

36-29 ND. 9 seconds left in the half

 

[Sandvol]

Middleton should play a lot more than Cooper right now. Cooper is a talent but she makes bad decisions. She needs to mature more.

 

[boxerpupsrcool]

I see holly still hasn't addressed the turnover issue. Same thing game in and game out

 

[mlindsay]

Jordan should've took the open 3

We never take the open 3 which hurts us imo, carter has refused to take the open 3 at least 3 times tonight

Cooper and Deshields.

 

[Vols4life]

If ND did not have those 4 TO's to start the game could be a different score at the half....lucky to still be in this one

 

[Teejay5952]

I want to see Middleton get more minutes, she is aggressive on both ends!

 

[Martic]

Skylar looking good.

so is Niel Ivy or however you spell her name)

 

[BigOrangeD]

Awful Shooting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Voluble2]

I hate playing in qtrs. Teams never get any rhythm established. The whole game is played in fits and starts.

 

[Sandvol]

Who's that?

 

[Amb3096]

Same thing I just said if she tried to score more and tried less of being a facilitator we could possibly have some more scoring help, she has great size & decent speed which makes her a mismatch for most guards guarding her which only helps us!

The problem is Jordan (yes, Jordan) has been by far the best of the guards for Tennessee tonight. I can't tell if Defensive Specialist Andraya Carter has played (how many points has Marina Mabrey scored tonight?), and Middleton is playing hard, but her shot needs to fall.

Te'a Cooper is my MVP for the Fighting Irish in the first half. She almost single handedly broke upon a close game to allow ND to build a bit of a cushion.

 

[Teejay5952]

Cooper and Deshields.

Shut up, Deshields is carrying this team right now with team highs 9 pts & 5 Rebs.

Most of turnovers they have are due to them trying to "get the ball inside" that is not their game and Russell is not a banger, let the damn girls play and stop micromanaging them Holly, you can't give the ball to someone who doesn't want it

 

[Smokedog76]

Just keep Cooper on the bench and we should do fine.

 

[Vfl2407]

Wish they all could shoot.

She had plenty of shooters but what she needed was makers.

 

[boxerpupsrcool]

Can't make mistakes against a team like ND. Just imagine how bad this ass whooping would be if ND still had Jewell Lloyd, not to mention the fact that their top recruit tore her ACL

 

[TN1111]

Just try to remember only being down 7 at 36-29. That margin will only grow in the second half. Our halftime adjustments are pretty much nonexistent.

 

[Amb3096]

Middleton should play a lot more than Cooper right now. Cooper is a talent but she makes bad decisions. She needs to mature more.

Talent at what, besides turnovers, 3 pointers that hit the side of the backboard, getting her shot blocked, taking six steps to create separation for her bunny jump shot, and getting beaten off the dribble by her opponent.

She's by far the worst of the 3 "star" freshmen on the court. She needs alot...ALOT...of work on her game if she's ever going to be a capable player.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Who's that?

Former Player now coaching.

 

[boxerpupsrcool]

Cooper and Deshields.

Agreed and i thought before the season started those two would be the major bright spots. Boy was I wrong, especially about cooper.
