Game Thread: Lady Vols Vs Arkansas; Sun Jan 12th ; Away game; 1PM Eastern; SEC Network WIN 93-63

[KTrain]

Arkansas getting tired and reckless with the ball.
Refs have to step up .

 

[KnoxLikeUs]

Tennessee is too good when Latham and Boyd play with this amount energy off the bench.
This team will be in the Top 10 before the SEC tourney.
Mark my words.
GBO!

On a positive note, the defense and help side defense are getting better. Switching and stopping the ball is improving.

 

[volsagain]

13-5 on fouls

 

[RespectAPA]

Spear with the offensive rebound!! She averages around 1.3 per game, already with 2 this half.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Good half. Now, avoid the bad 3rd quarter.

 

[th2421]

Our players look frustrated and I don't blame them. Just horrible officiating.

 

[Voluble2]

How were there five tied up balls in that half and we only got one of them?

 

[westtnvoljackson]

Blonde female official is absolutely worthless.

 

[VolBall09]

Looks like the MTSU game all over again and it’s thanks in part to the exact same official. It’s impossible to get in a rhythm when the game is called this inconsistently and with this many whistles.

Blondie’s whistle should be smashed and she should never call a game again. Horrendous official.

Really disrupting the flow of play. We can barely breathe on the court.

Two Ark defenders hacked Samara at the rim on her drive to the basket and the official had the nerve to try to example the no call.. Samara was heated and said some back at her lol.

Great half by our Lady Vols. This Lady Vol team is finally fun to watch again. I think the light is finally on at the end of the tunnel for the Lady Vol program. We are again recruiting at a high level and Coach Caldwell is proving she can coach at a high level. Get it done.

 

[RAVOL]

Scored 47 and up 14 at half playing B- game on road. Not bad . Now come out and put up one of our 30 point quarters especially since Arky doesn't foul which means they shouldn't be playing any Defense. In CHRIST Alone

 

[brittannica]

Also, congrats to Jewel on 2K points! Joining some esteemed players 🩵

Refs are not going to grade out well in this game.

SEC office response: Refs grade out 100%

 

[RespectAPA]

With two fouls: Spearman, Puckett, Boyd, and Favor.

With one foul: Spear, Whitehorn, Spencer, Darby, Latham.

Cooper has not picked up a foul so far.

I have them subpar JR High.

 

[Voluble2]

Worst call may have been when Arkansas came out of a scrum with the ball and then immediately lost it then the ref rewound the clock and called a foul on the scrum that happened a few seconds earlier.

Ref was fine with it when she thought Arkansas was going to go down court with it.

 

[Volfan2012]

Other than unnecessary fouling were in total control of this game. You look up we shot 43 percent from the field yet have 47 points on the board. Just a repeat of the first half would be 94 points to 66 for them. If we happen to shoot 50 percent we'll go over 100.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

How were there five tied up balls in that half and we only got one of them?

That and the clock reset to a full 30 from .9 on that jump ball are class A lead official felonies.

It's interesting, both the LSU and Oklahoma games were called fairly reasonably, but our games against outmatched opponents have been very one-sided. Is the SEC wanting to keep our games close, at least for our games on the road...? (or is that going too far in the conspiracy direction)

Will be looking out for how MSST@UT is called.

 

[volsagain]

The refs blowing the whistle every time there's a change of positions just about takes the enjoyment out of the game. There not going to call enough fouls for this team to beat the Lady VOLS

 

[KTrain]

Foul calling is so inconsistent, they call a touch foul then someone plows someone over and it's a no call. I hope someone grades these officials.

 

[Ovol]

Wondered that myself.
