Game Thread: Lady Vols host Auburn, Thursday, Feb 13 at 6:30 ET. SECN+

[Orange.]

Let’s go, Lady Vols!

The present game is the biggest game! Focus, execute, and get the win!

 

[Orange.]

Settle down, ladies.

Here we go!

 

[Vols2015]

It’s amazing how many layups Darby has missed in her career.

 

[Vols2015]

Very disappointed in how defensive effort right now. Just leaving shooters wide open. Cooper trying to do it all on her own. Play as a team!

 

[volforlife10]

not sure what we’re doing but it is not working. kim settle your team down.

 

[VolBall09]

So tired of our low energy to start. Sure we can outlast teams, but if we have that much gas in the tank there is no reason not to go hard at the start.

Our defense has been pathetic so far. Almost no contest on any of their made shots. If we wanna be great we have to stop picking and choosing when we play hard.

Not getting to the 50/50 balls right now either.

This is the team Auburn was supposed to be this year. Plus Taliah Scott.

 

[Volfan2012]

Maybe we will get it together but thus far about horrible is what I am seeing. Miss after miss and unforced turnovers.

And then lazy defense and not getting out to shooters. That blonde chick hasn’t had anyone within 10 feet of her on the shot yet. Obviously that’s her game, someone get matched up and make her pass.

Do they have uniforms to find a cure for prostate cancer?

 

[vol94]

I can’t get the game. I logged onto ESPN and selected YouTube TV. Then “unable to play video” displayed.

Anyone?

As 09 said, we'll eventually outlast them. But the tendency to start flat and slow is concerning.

Love when Sara is out front on the press and the opposing guard just smiles as she dribbles right around her every single time.

 

[Vols2015]

Puckett is not the player to pass the ball too for a contested layup.

[ShortyMac10]

Man Ruby so solid

 

[RespectAPA]

Like the Tulsa game, Tennessee behind most of the 1st, then finally breaks thru right at the end of the qtr to take the lead.

Tennessee won that game 102-61.

 

[glv98]

Once again, Reliable Ruby carries the load while Coop rubs the sleep out of her eyes.

Our halfcourt D is porous to put it mildly. Auburn is getting, and making so many open shots.

 

[37620VOL]

I can't get my ESPN+ feed working so you just gonna have to pull us through on this one.

 

[Vols2015]

Lucky Ruby came to play on the offensive end, otherwise, we’d be down double digits.

 

[knoxvol52]

The Asian young lady isn't shy about shooting the ball ....

 

[Volfan2012]

Ruby only player that come to play thus far. Defense has to pick up. They are getting some really good looks from three made some of them. We can't give up 20 a quarter.

 

[Orange.]

22-20 LVs at the end of 1 Qtr

 

[GameTime]

Not the push over so far that some were projecting...

 

[VolBall09]

Puckett is not the player to pass the ball too for a contested layup.

We have mostly stopped doing that. We tried that a lot early in the season and I don’t thinks he handle a single one of those passes. The passer is anticipating and throws to where she should be but she isn’t quick enough and doesn’t leap well enough to play that game.

She’s great in the short corner and for the occasional wide open three. I’ve always been frustrated she doesn’t have more of a post up game. She has a great frame and usually has a smaller defender.
