Game Thread Lady Vols at West Virginia

[VolBall09]

We should have won that game in regulation. If you have the lead in the final minute there is no way you should ever give it up.

Texas will beat us like a mule!

Man I woke up and saw we were about to go into OT. Quickly turned to the game. What happened to us today?

 

[JCP201]

Ain't happening today.

They should get credit for not quitting ? Pretty low bar.

No because you can actually see the improvement that the coach was trying to get from them last year. In order to get this team back to the level we as fans were accustomed to we are going to see games like this. These athletes read these boards and that really plays apart on their mental health etc.

If we don’t get an inside game AND QUICK we are going to be hurting !

Should of won this game hands down! they better find some fire n quick

 

[Orange Maniac]

They had this game won in regulation and blew it. Not good all the way around.

Pretty pathetic effort honestly. We don’t deserve to win this game playing with such low energy. Really hoped we were moving past that but it seems we’re destined to play only when we choose.

It’s not low energy we are just overall a slow team.

Rennia has a better night and we’re fine. Evenly matched game really. Only major difference was the 3 point line. We couldn’t buy a bucket from the perimeter. We did what we needed on the boards. Turnovers hurt us as well but we still had 15 more attempts than them.

The fact that this is being put on coaching is pathetic, she can’t play the game, you either want it or you don’t and some seem to want it and some didn’t! And when your “Star” doesn’t want it, it trickles down to the supporting cast

 

[cwbytruckers]

Besides turnovers the biggest issue with this team is post scorer. Not scoring. We need a post threat. And the other issue is these Lady's trying to be the female LeBron. Quit trying to make the fancy play and make the simple easy play instead.

I think you can save this post and use it many times this year!

That’s true for sure. It’s tough to watch with some lineups. We just have nobody to match the speed of someone like Gondrizek. Hopefully Salary, Wynn and Miles can become those type players because it’s a struggle.

Davis finished with 8 points. Her streak of double digit scoring is over.

 

[JohnnyPayne]

I had West Virginia by 8 and they won by 6. Questionable officiating today along with a bad scoring game by Davis. Green and Horston has very good games.

 

[volfan__18]

i don’t like to put blame on just one girl but, Davis killed us this game.

They are not even close

This loss is at the feet of Rennia. Last possession of regulation you have a hot Burrell WIDE OPEN in the corner and you turn it over instead. She shot 3-18 in this game, at some point you have to keep feeding those that got you there when it's their night.

 

[volnationnj]

We had 23 more rebounds and 15 more field goal attempts.
We also had 20 turnovers to their 15, and we had 15 fewer free throw attempts.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Don't understand why KK and Green have so much trouble scoring inside. I was always taught, you use the white box behind the basket and your make % goes up. Both should be dominate. Key is not aggressive and probably not ever going to be.

But she is our All American and 1st round draft choice!

 

[Volfan2012]

2 for 19 from the three that is the game. We need a couple three point shooters badly. Davis had the worst game I can remember her playing here. Not down on the team they fought hard today wish we'd gave Burrell a couple shots at the three and went to her more down the stretch. I think we can be a really good team 20 turnovers today but only six in the second half.

The inside game is there (Green), they wont get her the ball when she is calling for it (jumping up and down on the block)
