Game Thread: Lady Vols v UCONN; Thurs. 8PM; on ESPN

[JustaChicken]

For Pete's sake Lobo please STFU!

 

[cwbytruckers]

since no one is saying it. Our defense is slow

 

[turbovol]

I said defense would be key. Our defense has been laughably bad. UConn could score 25+ points in this quarter. And we also
have been awful on the other end--Walker with turnovers and mistakes.

 

[Caz]

The talent gap is staggering.

A lot of is execution too. These UConn girls are coached

 

[LUVMESUMVOL]

Our defense is awful!

Now I hope people see why we can’t press

 

[djtee]

Looking at this game so far i like TN to win. But let`s get real neither one of these two teams have a shot of beating SC none.

 

[SGMVols]

Any team who can shoot threes will have as many open looks as they want.

You have to run UConn off the 3 point line and take the chance you can guard one on one inside. They shoot over 40% from 3 as a team.

 

[volforlife10]

we have to recruit speed. it has to be a priority. we’re getting exploited..

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Team speed and ball handling has to be the thing KJH recruits on. Heck our elite size can’t even rebound

That‘s what I e said before, we have too many slow players, and we need a Pg.

 

[lfvol]

since no one is saying it. Our defense is slow

That’s why you really need Powell at the 1 and of course Horsten. Completely changes the ability to guard.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Wide open 90% of the time under the UCONN basket. Half their shots were bunnies in the paint. Oh well, a lot of time left and hopefully we can fill that hole ON DEFENSE and fill our basket ALOT ON OFFENSE.

 

[ttharp]

It was over the second Muhl hit that 3. Sorry but horrible start.

Yeah, that made three by Muhl was a best case scenario start for them.

 

[87&91ALUM]

9-17 4:10

 

[SGMVols]

This is our best lineup for this matchup, but Powell can’t be the one taking shots right now.

 

[Putbacks]

Horrible offensive execution!

 

[LadyinOrange]

I have always wanted to punch Geno Auriemma in the nose.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Basic screen and left a wide open shot...

 

[Voluble2]

They get open shots on every possession. Hollingshead just backed off her girl and gave her a wide open look.

 

[Voltopia]

Hollingshead was absolutely fouled.

 

[SGMVols]

YOU CAN’T GO UNDER BALL SCREENS ON UCONN

 

[87&91ALUM]

Are they gonna call a foul on UCONN shoving under our basket?

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Another wide open shot buried... We gonna get smoked

 

[Volstylexx]

The talent discrepancy between these two teams is much larger than I expected.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

27-13 and time to go watch something else

 

[87&91ALUM]

13-27…and UCONN in total control.
