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

[Jravol78]

Aye carumba

 

[Volstylexx]

Bigger concern is Horston. I hope and pray that’s a cramp.

 

[zaqhhh]

And then Fudd and Buekers suit up.

True but got to get some of them out somehow

 

[ttharp]

Let Jordy sit if she's limping. We're not coming back.

 

[lfvol]

They have shooters - we don’t!

We have shooters. They just aren’t athletic enough to guard or handle.

 

[Putbacks]

This is about us. This is who we are. We have beaten no one relevant. So disappointing to see such good pieces go to waste…

 

[volnationnj]

Horston limping back to bench after timeout.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Is it true that we didn’t sign anyone at the early signing period??

 

[sechamp2012]

Lou Senechal is unreal

I think she just got in a zone May be biggest crowd she’s ever played in front she looked great unstoppable

 

[VolBall09]

Still essentially 0 statement wins. If we can’t win either we are in trouble.

 

[SGMVols]

This was Kellie’s one chance to win back the fans this year. It’ll go right back to a 90% empty TBA going forward

 

[GoVols9800]

Can someone explain to me why #4 is still on the floor? Turnovers and no defense.

 

[KB5252]

Did I read earlier that UConn had four starters out?

If so that's an indictment on the women's program at the moment. I remember early in Harper's tenure we had some defections that set us back...... I'm not sure what we can say at this point, what used to be one of our strongest sports has become our absolute worst.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

The Lady Vol basketball program has been mediocre for quite some time, I was hoping NIL could help get some quality talent in here but it appears UCONN is still the class of the NCAA and Lady Vols will be perpetually trying to play keep up with lesser talent. I hate it seeing this program struggle so much against bitter rivals

 

[007Racer]

I don't post a lot anymore, but this team is what it is. Tall slow footed set shooters, lean athletic players that can't shoot. A team takes on the personality of their coach. A laid back no timeout calling coach, a laid back no hustle type team. Pat's teams would hit you in the mouth, they wore mouth pieces, because they were taught to be physical. Come on, please get back to being Tennessee! Go Lady Vols!

 

[Volfan2012]

Really amazing shooting night by UConn 60 percent. We dominated the boards, but you can't beat a team shooting 60 percent while you shoot 38. Good game by then that Senechal Lopez is and amazing shooter.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This was Kellie’s one chance to win back the fans this year. It’ll go right back to a 90% empty TBA going forward

Agree with this

 

[volnationnj]

They have shooters - we don’t!

This is, unfortunately, very accurate.

To some degree. UCONN has some of if not the best parity among its bench and it’s starters

 

[JCP201]

Score doesn't look that good, but I don't think many will be able to beat Lady Vols if we can make the tournament. Nobody hit threes like Connecticut has tonight. It won't happen again.

 

[lfvol]

And then Fudd and Buekers suit up.

Agreed and we will be without Jackson and Horsten

 

[Gilmore]

They have shooters - we don’t!

Jackson needed a great game and it just wasn’t her night

 

[utkCREW]

Rickea is mentally infantile and weak. She gave up after she got mad at Edwards.

 

[Ladyvolfan45]

They have shooters - we don’t!

While true, they have way better ball movement and actually runs a offense that allows players to shoot in rhythm. Ours is more clunky with our offense being 1 on 5 and our best scoring option being scoring off of misses.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Thank God we are going to beat ucon 2-1 in who takes home the most timeouts
