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

[DarkPhoenix]

Turned it off. Our energy is terrible at the moment. Fragmenting without Horston to calm things down. Pathetic.

This is good for the people that said we have so much depth.

 

[ttharp]

Bad game for Tess to be off like this. Feels like she's pressing a bit because she knows she has to step up in Horston's absence. This game is looking like a loss. We have no momentum.

 

[SGMVols]

The first team we play in the tournament that can shoot threes will send us home

If we make the tournament

 

[dtnvol]

They are beating us up and down the court with ease...we really need better guard play...

 

[RAVOL]

They just stood there and then threw the ball away.

Those are the scratch your head type. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Coach Jumper]

well?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

And Puckett gets burnt again. Does Kelly not see this?

We don’t have many options.

 

[Voluble2]

MO always gives us trouble, but I don't see much to like about how we are playing right now. Very bad on both defense and rebounding, and now we are turning over the ball.

 

[VolBall09]

Getting out rebounded, out hustled and outplayed. That’s all it comes down to. Even without Horston this should be an easy 10 pt+ win.

Big 2 on Frank

 

[Coach Jumper]

You drove me from my tv to the computer,,,so come on,,,

 

[cwbytruckers]

I feel like the girls are playing at about 80% today and we are getting out coached. Need to pick up the energy.

UConn and LSU are going to smoke us

 

[Majors]

The lack of team speed/help defense is making me physically ill

outside of RJ/Horston we don’t have athletic mismatches.

 

[plumbervol]

Without Horston we are ordinary

 

[cwbytruckers]

Powell a no show again

 

[Voluble2]

Now they are afraid to shoot.

Powell ended up having to take it and was clearly uncomfortable.

They are tripling RJ on defense, and on offense they are getting mismatches whenever they want them.

I'm not so sure. While I'd love to think that's true, Massey and HHS had us as about 5 point favorites with Horston. RealTimeRPI had Mizzou with a 9-point win.

 

[ttharp]

Not looking good. If we have to string together multiple stops to get back in it, we're toast. Our defense is too inconsistent.

 

[Chippo]

Doesn't look good for us at the moment

 

[zaqhhh]

3rd on Frank!

 

[Majors]

Missouri playing a short bench and beating our 10 player rotation.

 

[VolBalls33]

There ya go Tess!! And 3 fouls on Frank in the last 3 minutes.

 

[VolBall09]

Drop this game and our season goes down the tubes quickly unfortunately. Hate to be so negative today, but this isn’t one we can afford to lose.

Makes it super likely we drop 3 in a row. God forbid Horston is out for the next two, it will be a slaughter.

Then we are just off track and looking at a February downturn again. Just a bummer.

In deed, I'm NOT giving up hope, but I've seen this show before...I'd be surprised if a LV win today ☹
