Game Thread Lady Vols in the CANCUN CHALLENGE

[JohnStL]

playing three games in a row with less than 24 hours turnaround, three players fouling out it is unusual. If she is 100% and is practicing hard and going to class ( the three requirements for playing) it is unusual .

A lot of teams only play eight players, UCONN usually play eight players unless they get a huge lead. As long as this team grows, and can avoid the injury bug, I think they will be okey.

With KLS out they have only been playing 6!

Are we using this same game thread? Works for me.

Go Lady Vols!

Anyone out there?

If we could keep Westbrook on the floor were a really good team. She has to sit so much with foul trouble that we have trouble maintaining offensive excellence.

She will get tired of setting and quite fouling.

I agree that our half-court offense runs much better with Westbrook. I think the second half is going to be a lot tougher if Ok St gets it together and manages to take advantage of our TO's and defensive lapses.

 

[Volfan2012]

11 turnovers but were shooting it well today so they haven't been a factor except we could have a larger lead. Davis 10 and 6, Nared 12 and 6, Russell 9 and 5 have been the big three.

 

[Volfan2012]

The fact that were shooting over fifty percent has really help off set the turnovers. In this half hopefully we keep shooting great without the turnovers.

 

[Volfan2012]

Dunbar hit two big threes in that first half. I am really glad to see her getting off to a great start to this season. She has been a team player her entire career glad to see her having some success.

For anyone able to watch the game, are we having issues with guard penetration? How is the defense looking? Their senior guard has 15 first-half points.

 

[Volfan2012]

Well here we go again.

 

[FrozenLVFan]

They've penetrated some, but not like yesterday. Some of Goodwin's points are from outside shots.

 

[Volfan2012]

Need a timeout were not playing very well at all.

 

[FrozenLVFan]

Stupid fouls.

 

[FrozenLVFan]

Stupid plays.

 

[FrozenLVFan]

That's a much-needed time out.

 

[Volfan2012]

15 turnovers really the crutch of this team. They could improve on that stat would really help keep these leads.

 

[SandyO]

The refs are calling way too many fouls imo

 

[gule]

how big is that Jenson girl who has blocked Russell's shot twice?

That and the free throw shooting. We're at 60% again today.

 

[Volfan2012]

A terrific finish to that quarter after a lot of horrible play early. Now we can close it out if we come out strong. 3 fouls on Westbrook and 3 on Hayes.

Also 3 fouls on Jackson, whose only other contributions are 2 TO's and 1 rebound.

Yep Me Me hasn't been a factor today.

Westbrook for three!!!!!!
