Game Thread Lady Vols in the CANCUN CHALLENGE

[FrozenLVFan]

In 4 minutes, they made 2 FT's, gave up 7 pts, got outrebounded, and looked like chaos.

Every player has scored except Harris, KK and Dunbar. I’m hoping everyone scores by the final buzzer!

yes but NOW is when they need to be out there

 

[Volfan2012]

KK 0 for 4 from the free throw line.

 

[Volfan2012]

Hopefully this group can hold the lead?

No, three of them need to be out there with a couple of starters. The only future games when all of them will be on the floor at once are blowouts. That's not when we'll need them. We need them to be able to come in and spell people who need to sit because of fatigue, injuries, and fouls, or when they have a special skill set, like 3-pt shooting.

 

[Volfan2012]

Holly trying to let them play they aren't doing much let them shoot until they made it on that last possession.

 

[NoBackBoard]

KK 0 for 4 from the free throw line.

Also 0-2 from the field. Does her form need work or do you think it’s rust?

She shouldn't be rusty on free throws. She should be in the gym.

Did mercedes really only grab 1 rebound this entire game ? Tired or not thats pure lazy , Nared with 9 showing the difference in there work ethic .

Why is this short team out rebounding us on the offensive board? We have to teach our girls how to position themselves for rebounds. Russell should have been a beast on both ends of the boards when she was in.

I am also amazed that our second 5 is playing worse than South Dakota’s second 5. They just look unorganized. They are better than that.

I guess now we see why Green gets minutes before KK and Harris.

KK and Harris need a lot of work. We are a turnover machine.

 

[FrozenLVFan]

FWIW, Harris actually looks better than last year.

69-49 final.

We cruise to a 3-0 record in Cancun! Congrats ladies and safe travels!

Love then extended play for the bench. I applaud that. It was also very insightful.

That does not take much, but still need a little work in the post. She has the body to block out without fouling. She is a work in progress.

My insight would be why some of them didn't get any PT in the Marquette game.

Three wins in three days on the road.

Actually, that is the main story!!!

We all knew once this team goes beyond its main seven players (starters + Hayes and Green), there are concerns about player readiness.

Injuries (or hopefully the lack of) will be a big factor in how well this team does over the course of the season.

Given that, whenever there is a chance to get the key players off the floor Holly is very smart to take it.

^Their NOT There^

 

[VollyParton]

Very good 3 days of work! I am hoping to see great improvements in taking care of possessions, rebounding, and defense, but we know from past teams these can be taken care of. The big news is we have an offense!! And a lot of fight Go Lady Vols!!

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

No matter how small the trophy or championship winning is a great feeling! Hopefully this is the first in a long line of championships for the Lady Vols!
