Game Thread Lady Vols at West Virginia

[Orange Maniac]

Does the woman announcer work for WV?

She played there.

 

[sccshortstop]

KK still cant play!

 

[Coach Jumper]

but we still have 5 timeouts

 

[kregman]

We can never sustain a run because of turnovers. Our set defense has been good.

Marta

She has had her limitations...

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Agree on KK. Anytime she gets a layup opportunity its 50/50 she will make it, even if she is wide open. Don't understand that. Shoot in the square box and your making % goes up considerably.

good comeback when down by 7, a very good stretch of pg play by Walker. Getting close and then a gosh dang turnover! Still anyone's game.

 

[Volfan2012]

To many turnovers today or we'd be winning. If we can ever conquer the turnover we'll be a decent team.

 

[GameTime]

sloppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[glv98]

Conquer turnovers and find a post. Key must get better. We can score and I feel mostly good about the perimeter. But we have to find a post, and it is not KK I'm afraid.

Down 6, 51-45 after 3q.

sub sub sub

Coach Harper is following the pattern of her mentor, Pat Summitt, as far as frequent player substitutions is concerned. Pat used this to motivate her players. Unfortunately, there are some negative consequences to this frequent substitutions.

WVU just has better players overall. We have missed a lot of layups and jumpers.

I've read on this very forum, from multiple posters, that Key has more potential than Boston of South Carolina.

The fact that they have shot 21 FT’s to our 3, tells you all need to know, the fact that we are the bigger team yet aren’t getting to the line is a problem

 

[Coach Jumper]

yes, sub until you find a combo that works
but WHEN you find a combo that works,,,STAY WITH IT

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

WV is just better than this team right now along with some home officiating, but the visiting team always gets the worst end of the calls, you just have to overcome that but you can't when you turn the ball over 25 times a game.

Disagree. Pat didn't sub like this. Yes, she'd yank a butt to the bench to punish or motivate, but I saw most of her games and I don't remember wholesale subbing like this.

A coach has to work the refs or this will happen
haven't seen coach approach a ref yet

 

[Volfan2012]

21 free throws to 3 we have to do better about getting to the line. This is the stat that is killing us.

 

[1reVOLver]

If WV could shoot FTs we would be in deeep yogurt.

If Davis would ever show up in a big game, I'd eat my hat.
