Game Thread: Lady Vols v EKU; Sunday 2PM, Home, SECN+ (Final LV'z 72-63)

[Coach Jumper]

We coasted on superior size and talent today. I don’t think anyone on this team other than Striplin really cares at this point. I think we go sub .500 in SEC play.

I have to disagree,,,Jazzy Powelll continues to shine,,,had a PG bounce back from last game

 

[KTrain]

I saw more people yawning on the sideline and announcers table than I have for any other game I have watched.

Really low energy all around today.

Even the refs slept walked thru the game

Sucks so bad when a win feels so empty. This team is so mediocre and bad at times. 15 wins will be a stretch. No NCAA tournament this year sadly.

Well we got a win today. The SEC not looking good today. We get a 9 day break Should get Rickea Jackson back and Tamari Key playing a little more. Key got 3 blocks, nice. We are on our way to much better basketball soon. As always go Lady Vol's.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Going to be a double digit victory, but how impressive was the victory....?

almost

 

[37620VOL]

Another team obliterates our defense with 3s.
Another game with reverse splits on 3% vs 2%.

 

[creekdipper]

23 turnovers?

 

[UT Challenger]

We need someone who can work with the 3 pt shooters. Don't have anyone who can consistently knock down a open 3.

They should finish top 5 in the SEC at worst. Arkansas lost to Arkansas-Pine Bluff today, outside SCAR and LSU the conference isn't that great

We could still be a team that makes a run. But we have to get RJ back at 100% and we need Key back at the level she was at 2 years ago.

There’s no great team in the SEC this season.
With Rickea J back there’s a chance for Tennessee to beat any team in the SEC.

The flaws in this team are systematic issues. I’m watching Utah without a single athlete on their team outside of the Forward get anywhere on the court against SC that they want to. Utah is noticeably undersized also.

 

[VolFuture]

NC State only beat Liberty by 13 was under a 10 point game all game

 

[Volfan2012]

We have one game in 21 days and that game is Wofford. A lot of time to get it all together and get the injured players and players not playing well all on the same page. If they can't get it together in this long break then they won't be able to this season.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, oh what a merry Christmas we would have.

They might have a good coach

SC bench outscored Utah bench 25-2

It'd be a very good Missouri Valley Conference team

Pretty snarky…disappointing for you.

 

[Lucy]

It is a moot point, as I expect RK back in the starting line up soon, but without Rikea I believe I would start Kaiya over Tess. Kaiya needs more minutes to settle in and she just has so much more upside than Tess.

the truth hurts...this group should be much better than this

Nice to see Spear make a couple of baskets--including a trey--in the fourth. She's been woeful lately. She is not as athletic as good shooting guards, and I think that may be an issue for her--us. Our team athleticism is not very good, and we have zero athletic forwards.

We did show some nice help defense in the 4th---and I liked that Harper kept mostly the same lineup on the floor in that quarter. Stop with all the subbing every three minutes.
