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

[I4Vols]

If the game was in Connecticut and the first quarter went that way we would be down 30 at the half.

Last year?

Notable Halftime Stats

Horston with 11 points, 5 rebounds (in 1.5 quarters)
Jackson with 9 points, 2 rebounds
Jill with 8 points, 5 rebounds
Puckett 0-5

 

[Vols2015]

Jasmine Franklin made huge defensive stops in that 2nd quarter!

 

[LUVMESUMVOL]

I like Carolyn Peck but she’s a superstar off that national championship that was our birthright in 99

 

[Freak]

What did Geno say to Holly? I have the sound off.

 

[Vols2015]

I want to see Horston, Jackson, Franklin/Hollingshead, Walker and Darby to start the 3rd.

 

[turbovol]

She has 2 fouls... who bites who if she got a 3rd with seconds left?
Coaching isn't so easy, if it was, you and I would be doing it

You take that chance--it's just the last seconds. You put your best offensive players in the game and try to score! Every point counts.

 

[LadyVol1908]

We need Sara to hit some of those 3s she’s taking in the 2nd half.

 

[SATXVolFan82]

Geno crying made me feel good. Sorry Geno, but your team did change. You made everything the first quarter, then turned the ball over the second. Refs had nothing to do with that!

I was so taken back him yelling at Hollie I did not realize he was crying lol was he really?

 

[cwbytruckers]

Screams of a guy who's used to always getting calls in his favor.

He is womans basketballs Saban

 

[Volstylexx]

TN 8-12 from the free throw line
UConn 1-2

He may have a valid gripe

Notable Halftime Stats

Horston with 11 points, 5 rebounds (in 1.5 quarters)
Jackson with 9 points, 2 rebounds
Jill with 8 points, 5 rebounds
Puckett 0-5

…and Geno officially changed his name to Richard!

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

If we had not spotted them 20 in the first 2 minutes this would be a good game. Sadly it was over in the first minute or two.

Are you the least bit nervous at Half? Could be a Mt. Rushmore post.

 

[Lurker]

And it should have stayed that way dammit!

I disagree. You have to play the best to be the best. Avoiding UConn was never a good idea and it made UT look weak. It’s one of the very few criticisms I ever had with Coach Pat.
Just win!

 

[I4Vols]

Darby also has 2 fouls.

She won't be inside like RJ, Darby outside looking to shoot a 3
Plus, you can lose Darby earlier, but not RJ

Jill with 8 points, 5 rebounds
Puckett 0-5

Need to give someone else Sara's minutes in the second half. She is as tight as a drum.

Just play whoever is playing well this particular night and ride them as far as they will take you.

Enjoy your couch

We're going to need points from Darby, Puckett and Hollingshead in the 2nd half, along with Jackson and Horston, of course. Again,
defense will be key.

 

[LadyVol1908]

I'm not anti Coach Kelly, but Powell in on the last possession is just a bad decision on O with the last shot
If you want to have a 3 shot, put in Darby, the frosh and Jordan with Walker at point. I agree no RJ as 2 fouls, can't afford a 3rd in the last half minute with the refs changing how they call the game (Geno correct on that, but it wasn't the main reason we played better... that was our intensity)

Powell is the one who created the wide open 3 that Sara had at the end of the quarter though.

 

[Volstylexx]

We're going to need points from Darby, Puckett and Hollingshead in the 2nd half, along with Jackson and Horston, of course. Again,
defense will be key.

Get points from all of them and Lady Vols win this.

 

[Voluble2]

Horston willed us back into this game. Hopefully her stamina won't be effected by her recent illness.

 

[Amb3096]

The starting lineup coming out of half needs to be different.

If Kellie isn't gonna start Horston, she at least has to start Jill or Jas Franklin. She just has to.

Striplin better not be there to start the 3rd!

 

[Freak]

Better video. How do I address it? How do I address it? lol



Now we have Lobo defending Geno. Imagine.

 

[87&91ALUM]

These announcers…smh

 

[LadyVol1908]

Geno just dissed our program and all that Pat built, implying that our success over CT in Knoxville is due to favorable officiating.

That’s exactly what I heard!
