Now how many of ya'll yelled NOOOO when Powell launched that 3??

No, no, no….YES!

 

[VolBall09]

They cannot guard Jordan Horston or Rickea Jackson without fouling. Horston and Jackson both had a rough half and that was a direct result of uncalled fouls. Just straight up allowing Vandy to two player hold them. It’s infuriating to watch.

I love that girl! Good fundamentals and works her tail off.

Absolutely. I wish Strip had little more athletic ability because she knows how to play the game. In CHRIST Alone

LV 's killing Vandy on the boards 26 -14. They have no interior defense.
But they do have a couple of quick guards.

 

[Voluble2]

Told my wife Justine was going to get pulled for not being able to get around those screens. That really hurt us. It is little things like that which she will get better at with experience.

It doesn't help that Vandy runs a moving screen every time down the court. Lots of holding going on too.

Need to turn it up and pull away coming out of the half.

It is bad and unfair because of Refs feeling sorry for Vandy to allow such mugging. It's all good. In CHRIST Alone

Strip with 10 points and 5 rebounds at the half, doing a great job!

 

[Lady Vol Guru]

We are not playing with the intensity we need at the moment.

The officials have made it clear they aren’t going to intervene so we are going to have to adjust. Cameron Inouye usually tries to screw us as bad as she possibly can.

I’m not sure who is worse, her or her booty mate, Brian Enterline.

 

[Volfan2012]

Playing on the road is just hard anywhere most of the time. Refs just ignoring to many holds and shoves.

 

[glv98]

I don't see lack of intensity. I think we'll be much sharper the second half.

Horston already has 5 assists. Striplin says thank you Jordy. We have 8 assist so far, to only 7 turnovers. Even though it's seemed sloppy at times, we are doing so much better with ball and player movement.

 

[RAVOL]

No, no, no….YES!

I watched her shooting in Minnesota and since being at Tennessee she has a nice stroke. When your that open you have to shoot. If we get her playing to her capabilities on offense just think we're this offense can go. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Voluble2]

Strip with 10 points and 5 rebounds at the half, doing a great job!

She does a lot of the small things really well, and is a very dependable scorer down low. I always thought she should have gotten more playing time than she did.

There may be teams she doesn't match up well with where you need to give someone else more minutes, but she is tailor made to destroy teams like Vandy.

 

[Volfan2012]

I keep thinking we've turned the corner intensity wise and then we play like we did to start that second quarter. Coach has to be upset don't know if she is giving it to them sure should be.

 

[LadyVol1908]

Now how many of ya'll yelled NOOOO when Powell launched that 3??

I don’t mind Powell, she was hitting those earlier in the season, it’s Walker when I yell that at the TV! I already know it’s a brick!

She is a 32 percent lifetime three point shoot the law of averages has to come to you sometime.

I’m expecting a rough third quarter. If that’s how the refs are gonna call the game, gotta take it to the rim.

 

[Volfan2012]

Actually Tess played better defense in that half than any other player. She was on her player really strong.

 

[ttharp]

I want to see a better start from Sara in the 2nd half. This team needs her.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Boom!

 

[Vols2015]

Walker with a 3!

 

[glv98]

Talking bout a role player, Jaz Franklin had 3 pts, 4 rebs, and a block in 6 mins! Wow.

 

[VolBall09]

3 seconds not a thing anymore?

 

[Voluble2]

BIG shove on Puckett there and no call --- caused a turnover.

Just terrible officiating.

 

[Vols2015]

Good call by coach to get Sara out. It’s just not her game today.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Puckett got pushed on that entry. bs…
