Game Thread Lady Vols at Texas

Jordan Needs to Attack, Jaime is hot!!!!! Shoot if you open but don't neglect driving to the rim, they don't have an answer for you. Mercedes we need the same fire from you that Nared is giving us in the first half. Diamond we need you to lock down defensively and play with Jamie! Everyone else get on the floor and play Lady Vols bball! Show what yall got, sometimes we have to get tired of getting your lunch money taken, sometimes you have to stand up and fight. Let's change our season and send it in the right direction starting today!

Where's all those Mercedes supporters who swear she's the best post in the country? Where was she at the first half??? Didn't show me anything of significance in the least! Only reason it's a game at the half is because of Nared....period.

Nared with 14 pts at halftime. We're down only 5 at the half. Big comeback with DD on the bench.
Coincidence ?

Could be or it could be a player tired of the losing/bull**** and decided she's going to take over/lead her team. We have been asking someone to do this and she seems to have stepped up to the challenge. She is calling people out on their poor play and telling them where they should be and it is working. Keep it up Jaime we need a leader or 2 on this team! Think we might have found 1!

Nice post. I think she has embraced being the leader. She is fun to watch, when she gets in a zone, so many times this year in the first half, she has kept us in games.

Diamond, where ya at?

What's the bet that we won't see the group that finished the 2nd quarter start the third? They've found a group that seemed to be working, but they won't stick with it.

The game ain't over yet, and opposing teams, knows they have to stop Russell, so she's getting way more attention, watch when she catches the ball, how many people are around her and hitting her, she has to play tougher in the 2nd half, tho.

And this season, she has played better in the 2nd half.

DD 2 -9

Reynolds 1-8,


Mane if they show up, and get better, we are a good team, Russell, won't get that much attention, mane.

Come on, Diamond. Come on Reynolds.

I think Diamond comes to life in the second half! Diamond is a baller but she has never been the leader of the team. Holly seemed to want it to be Jordan and Russell but they are far too passive and it has hurt us in a sense. Glad Nared has stepped up and is saying enough is enough.

Keep getting in people faces and telling them you demand more of them Jaime because we need someone like that! These past few lady vols teams haven't truly had that. Izzy had a little of it in her but really the last person imo to really have that fire was Nicky Anosike and we've always had that (a player that refuses to let our teams lose) and I think that's whats been missing!

Usually when she has a terrible offensive night she makes up on it defensively, but tonight she's terrible on both ends.

Nice post. Now we are meshing.

I don't expect anything from Diamond. Wuteva she gives us in a bonus at this point.

Run something to get her going, and a turnover, wuteva

DD comes out and fumbles the first possession out of bounds. Then our guard, Jackson, I think, fails to get around a high screen--lack of communication.
