RJ may get 6th Woman of the Year award and be conference POY! (Shrug…)

Can't let the sixteen point lead make you relax we need to come out in the third quarter and punch them in the mouth and put this game away. Give them no hope.

Y'all we have 17 assists on 21 field goals...! And only 4 turnovers!!!

Now ya dun it…

Need to see if we can get Horston or Puckett going from outside opposite Darby. They are going to be running at Tess when she catches it now.

Spread them out the other way in the second half and then we can let our bigs shoot layups in the 4th quarter. They have been packing it in quite a bit and outside of Darby that has paid off.

They just can’t guard Rickea Jackson. Not sure anyone can. Just makes it look easy. Sometimes I think that’s almost an issue for her. Athletically she can do things others just can’t so defensively she can cheat or be slightly lazy because she can recover. Also looks like she’s not even trying which is a thing of beauty offensively, it’s effortless, but that translates different to coach on the other end lola

It's freakishly easy for Jackson. Seriously, she is blessed to be able to just play without having to think about it. So many players hesitate and you can almost see them thinking about what to do next. She just has beautiful natural instincts and it's stunning and almost shocking to see it to this level. She's got magic.

Puckett jumper asssited by darby!

 

[Vols2015]

Walker fast break running layup!

 

[Vols2015]

Striplin jumper off inbound play! Our inbound plays have been on fire!

 

[Vols2015]

Horston layup no one even stopped her! 55-35 Alabama timeout!

Bama cannot guard us at the moment.

Love the toughness I’m seeing from the Lady Vols.

Yes they are WAY better this season.

We used to get beat by that same inbounds play on the regular. Glad to see us running it now. Also helped us learn to guard it finally.

 

[Volfan2012]

So far great start to the third get Jackson in there.

Nice start to half 2. Striplin is undersized for this AL post right now it seems. She's boarding over Strip.

Horston layup no one even stopped her! 55-35 Alabama timeout!

In part, because Karoline Striplin boxed out two Alabama players!

Lots of over the back not being called. Strip boxes out well, officials are swallowing the whistle for Bama at the moment because they have no back-up post.

Can you imagine how demoralizing it must be for those Alabama players to look over and see Kea Jackson ready to come off the bench?

 

[volnationnj]

As good as the LV's have looked in recent memory. A complete game in every aspect.

 

[Vols2015]

You can’t call a foul almost entirely after the play is over!

 

[lvocd]

Striplin has great hands!

 

[VolBall09]

Bama player fouled herself and they just gave the call to the nearest lady Vol.

It ain’t over yet lol

 

[Vols2015]

Hollingshead offensive rebound and putback layup!

 

[lvocd]

Hollingshead's strongest bucket!

I like this starting lineup. RJ great coming off bench. Walker playing well. At some point I think you have to consider starting Hollingahead.

 

[VolBall09]

OMG a foul on Bama.
