Game Thread Lady Vols vs Albany

[Voluble2]

It is no way that Middleton should return this game with the bad passes she has made yet Te'a remains on the bench, why is middleton being used as a Point Guard anyway?

Because Holly LOVES turnovers. The more you turn the ball over the more you get to play.

The ugliest turnovers Middleton or Jones?

 

[Volfan2012]

15 turnovers in this game. You have to play defense hard when you do that.

 

[Pat4life]

I see ya Jones, Jasmine.

 

[Voluble2]

Meme is having a tough game.

 

[Pat4life]

43 shot attempts/ 20 three like we really shoot the three just 10 of those shots getting to the rim, results in free throws or a higher percentage shot which could be 10 more points. They don't get it!

 

[Voltopia]

Man, if I were Holly, I would not be benching anyone named Cooper who could hit 3s right now.

 

[LVJeff]

Wow. Every time the LV's get a little separation, Albany fights back. They are a mentally tough team.

Texas by 15 on Sunday. At least.

 

[Pat4life]

Conference Champions, yes I love the fight in this team, which is making us better.

Texas by 15 on Sunday. At least.

TExas guards are like ours, and that will be the big stage for Diamond #4 vs #8. I see her being ready for that... lol

Albany has played 6 the whole game and fatigue seems to have them on the ropes. The LV press is Tenn's best weapon right now.

 

[volcrazy89]

Our competent players are Russell, Graves, Diamond and Cooper. TBD with MeMe. That's pretty much it. The rest are average at best and some of them are barely serviceable against even decent teams.

 

[Pat4life]

Our guards do not value the basketball. Albany mane oh mane!

 

[Pat4life]

53-51 Lady Vols 4:10 to go

 

[Volstylexx]

Maybe a loss will wake this team up?

And yet diamond and cooper are both on the bench with a 2 point lead and 4 to go....

 

[LVJeff]

I've never seen anything like this bunch.

 

[Pat4life]

Maybe a loss will wake this team up?

Nope, our gurls are playing a lot of basketball, a game every other day, so we're not going to see a whole a lot of improvement right away. Keep fighting ladies.

Other top teams are playing the same frequency of games and they're not in 2 point games, every game, with inferior opponents. There's no excuse for this.

 

[Pat4life]

wow. Cooper ain't ready yet! ugh!

It may be today, it may not be today, but someday soon UT is going to lose one of these types of games. No disrespect meant to Albany, they played Duke tight last year, I don't think it's a fluke for them to play well. But sooner or later UT is going to lose a game, at home, to a school that UT shouldn't be losing to, and it's going to be a very unpleasant day.

I agree. That loss will either galvanize this team, or lead to Holly's collapse.

 

[Volstylexx]

Albany with a 3 to win it?

 

[Pat4life]

Well let me see you play a game every day, and a game after Thanksgiving against a quality opponent. Our ladies are fine but to beat Texas our guards have to play better, our team have to play better.
