Game Thread: Lady Vols v Mizzou 3 PM Sunday at Mizzou, SEC+ (stream)

No face time for Sophie…whew. Must not be attending.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Can't you call timeout to advance there?

If your any coach but ours

 

[Vols2015]

Wish they’d planned for Justine to take that last long shot.

Right?! Instead of her throwing the ball in. Seems counter productive.

 

[LadyVol1908]

I know Pissott gets lost on defense a lot, but gee whiz I wish Kellie would let her play and get a rhythm.

 

[Coach Jumper]

this non-use of Rickea Jackson is bordering on ridiculous

 

[Vols2015]

Given we didn’t have Jackson in the second part of the second quarter, we’ll take the lead. She definitely needs to get going in the second half.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Striplin had a big first half!

 

[volfan__18]

this use of Rickea Jackson is bordering on rediculous

she was in foul trouble not much you can do.

 

[lfvol]

Anyone else just think the SEC isn’t good except for SC, LSU and TN? Talent and size just isn’t widespread.

About what I expected honestly. With our without Horston.

I thought we shot the ball well in that half. Just have to adjust to how it’s being officiated and someone has to grab the defensive rebound. Even after we started boxing out better they were still getting oboards. Everyone is waiting for Horston to snatch the ball and that’s clearly not going to happen this evening.

Have to adjust to boxing and then releasing and grabbing the dang ball. Walker needs to get in there and get some as well.

So you'd rather keep her out there to pick up a 3rd foul with this officiating?

 

[VolBalls33]

With a slower Missouri team would like to see Miles get some time on the court. Wynn can stay seated. Glad UT survived with Horston out and RJ is foul trouble. Striplin and Sara have definitely stepped it up.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Darby needs to come alive in the second half. And Puckett needs to bomb away. We need to hit 5 to 7 second half threes to win this.

 

[Voluble2]

I get more irritated every time we don’t get a shot off to end a quarter. That’s got to change. Start calling an occasional timeout and draw something up. I swear it’s been 6 weeks since we score a bucket to end a quarter.

You should not dribble the ball upcourt with 4 secs left if you want to get a shot off. You have to pass it up court.

 

[TN1111]

Do we actually even try to run any semblance of an actual play other than free for all when we're faced with 10 seconds or less in a quarter?

That’s all on the Pg, I’m not sure what film they study.

 

[I4Vols]

Another wasted end of quarter possession. Rinse, repeat

Point guard issues, as usual at qtr ends

 

[Coach Jumper]

she was in foul trouble not much you can do.

wonder why,,,when your minutes are so micro-managed you begin to try to do too much in the little time you get

Yep, Horston leads the team in defensive rebounding, and has a 19.5% defensive rebounding percentage, meaning that we're used to having her grab the defensive board in about 1 in 5 opportunities. Gotta adjust.

Anyone else just think the SEC isn’t good except for SC, LSU and TN? Talent and size just isn’t widespread.

I have noticed that the league is much smaller than it used to be. I think a lot of that is due to recent coaching changes. Teams trying to recruit players for their new system and lots more guard oriented coaches. Seeing a clash of styles with teams like S.C., UT and LSU that still put an emphasis on scoring in the paint.

In the last three seasons almost every SEC school aside from South Carolina has changed coaches. Would expect som re-building for a couple years

 

[chuckiepoo]

A good half considering it was without JH and Jackson with limited mins.

Great half. We got ladies stepping up!

 

[Volfan2012]

Plus five shots and plus 5 free throws for Missouri. They also had 7 offensive rebounds to our 2. If were not shooting 50 percent to their 30 percent they are winning. It will have to change to keep the lead doubt they shoot that bad next half so they can't get all those extra chances.

 

[Hoosier]

refs are bad, but at least they are bad both ways, so far --- looking for a big 3rd quarter pull-away

 

[RAVOL]

What another bad sequence for officials Frank only gets open for jumper because the hook and hold on screen then comes down and gets flop call. I'm sorry but officials really helping Mizz stay in this game. Second half just knock down open shots they can not cover Tn if we don't rush things. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Vols2015]

Off topic, watching this Pat Summitt halftime story, is crazy to believe it’s been 12 years since she was diagnosed, and now going on 7 since she passed away.

What a person she was, and a legacy she has left behind!
